This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit…

It was Upset Saturday in several corners of the globe.

The biggest news here in the U.S. was the performance of Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome in the Belmont Stakes. The previously unheralded horse ran strong down the stretch to win at Pimlico to setup a run for the Triple Crown in three weeks at the Belmont Stakes in New York.

It’s been 36 years since a horse won the Triple Crown.

Then the rest of the world took notice at unheralded Athletico Madrid getting a tie with Barcelona to win soccer or futbol’s La Liga title, the club’s first title in 18 years.

It is the first time in 10 years that neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid did not win the league. Big upset there too.

And here in the U.S. Jamie McMurray won the NASCAR All-Star Race in Charlotte. No one can say McMurray’s an all-star in stock car racing but the race ended with Jamie in front for a million dollar payday.

Upsets all right after a full moon last week. Crazy, huh!?

Peace.
