Congrats to Jaime Moyer

Way to go to the Philies and Jamie Moyer. Some people say he's hot i don't know about that. I say he just a great guy and im really really happy for him. Im off to Vegas in a few hours to see the Nhra drag races. Im Hoping for some wins from Hillary Will, Greg Anderson and Del Worsham.

It's a beautiful day again.

With the breeders cup coming up this Friday and Saturday i thought i would post some of my favorite races. Singeltary named after the great Chicago bears player and now the coach of the San Fransico 49er's. This was a great race for me as i made some good money. For some reason i liked this horse early in the 2004 year. He always seemed to do great when i watched him race. He was also a turf horse and i really like turf races over dirt.

The world series starts tonight. I will be pulling for the Phillie's. I think a good part of the Northwest will be hoping for the Phillis to win. Jaime Moyer the long time Mariner starts game 3 on Saturday.

I'm not really sure what drives me to watch two tv shows. Almost every Monday i end up watching Little people big world and Jon and Kate plus 8.I have been watching these shows for sometime now. I will say it's cool to see the six little Gosselin kids grow up.

I have bought my Halloween costume. I'm going to be a Big Daddy. That's what the costume says. I say it's more of a pimp looking outfit which should be great for Vegas. There's picture floating around out there some place i will be sure to get that up someday soon.

Our sports teams

Here's my tickets for the upcoming race in Vegas. Nice picture of Kurt Johnson's protstock car spinning the tire's.

Whats the deal with our sports teams. All the teams this year suck. The Mariners 101 bleeping losses,the Seahawks 1 win, the Huskies no win, the Cougars 1 win against Portland state. The Sonics oh they moved to some loser city in the middle of the nation. Hey Gordo you like hockey don't you. Yes i do oh the bleeping t-birds suck this year also. I guess there is college basketball starting pretty soon go Huskies and Zags. I don't ask for much from the sports teams. I want them to win of course but i want to enjoy watching the games and this year has sucked for watching and kind of games.

Greg Biffle moved up to second place in the Sprint Cup standings for the Nascar boy's. I'm hoping the Biff can pull out the title this year but it's not looking good right now. When Greg raced up here some years ago you just knew he would make it big time. Go Biff Go

Still no costume for Halloween. I have been sick for the past week and just haven't gone out to get anything. I will get something the Friday for sure. 10 days till Vegas yahoo.

Just noticed a story about my favorite Top Fuel Driver Hillary Will check it out

Breeders Cup 2008

It's two weeks till the Breeders cup horse races.The races are at Santa Anita horse track this year and next.I really wanted to go to the horse races. When i got my ticket info i just threw it away in the garbage. They wanted 500.00 dollars for each seat with a decent view of the track.Maybe next year the will lower the price of the tickets. I have been to Santa Anita a few times. It's a great track over looking the San Gabriel mountains in Southern California. If you have seen the movie Seabiscuit then you have seen the track.

The breeders Cup is probably the second biggest weekend in horse racing. I would have to say that the Kentucky Derby weekend is the only race that would be bigger. I will just watch from home and place some bets on the computer. Oh well maybe next year.

Today i received my tickets for the drag races in Vegas. I'm sitting in Platinum Club row 36 seat 3. I was hoping for row 34 or 35. But this seat is fine it's the same one i had last year. I did purchase tickets for the Bullring to see some race at the short track. I have a buddy who used to live up here that works at that track. He's going to get my buddy Marshall and i in the pits to watch the races. Pit passes sell for 40 bucks so Larry is saving us 20 bucks.

I haven't picked out a Halloween costume for Vegas yet. I just can't figure out what i want to dress up as. I need to figure out something soon.

I started feeling sick when i got home this morning from work. I'm just trying to relax and enjoy the afternoon. I have been drinking some tea and might take some old medicine later if I'm not feeling better. I would hate to be sick one my one day off tomorrow. that would just plain well you figure it out.

October baseball

Well the first week of October is almost over. Baseball playoffs are now into the second round. I really have been paying close attention to the games this year. Maybe it's because the Mariners suck and i haven't seen any good games this year. I did make it to a couple of baseball games this year only one of those was a Mariner game. I did see the Dodgers and Phillie's and the Twins and Yankees. I'm hoping for a Phillie's and Ray's match up in the world series.

The picture today is from Del Mar, Ca taken from the third level of the horse track. There's nothing like watching the races with a nice ocean breeze coming in. Until i find something better this will probably be one of my summer vacation visits. I always enjoy myself down there . it's just a great time every summer. This was my fourth summer to Del Mar.

As i type this blog the puck is about to drop on NHL hockey season. There has been a few games played already this year. Those games were played over in Europe. The first North American games start tonight. I'm pulling for the San Jose Sharks this year once again.

The T-Birds are off to a rough start 1-5 going into tomorrow nights match up with the EveRATT Silvertips. They did get a couple guys back from the NHL training camps this week. I'm hoping for a quick turn around or it could be a long season.

The NHRA races in Richmond this weekend. That means fours weeks till the Vegas race for me yahoo.

One last weekend of soccer for my favorite four year old. It looks like the weather will be sunny but cold. I wouldn't make it to he last two games so I'm really looking forward to the game Saturday.
