Sticking with Mother’s Day
Okay, so it’s been a few years. My son’s first Mother’s Day at Candlestick Park. #raisinghimright
Meanwhile, SF Giants fans and players would like to thank Matt Duffy for his game-winning RBI today. Because who really wanted to play 15 innings and not only be late for Mother’s Day dinner, but be at the ballpark after they’d cut off beer etc sales after seven innings…
Maybe this man really doesn’t want to be President? Jeb Bush today on Fox News said he also would have invaded Iraq in 2003, “I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got,”
Isn’t Jeb Bush reminding voters that he would have authorized the Iraq invasion like Hillary Clinton reminding voters that her husband would have input into choosing interns?

So a new DOT ruling as of last Friday allows airlines to back out of “mistake” fares, when an error in loading prices means consumers are able briefly to book tickets for a few dollars. Alas, when consumers make a mistake and book the wrong flight or date, we’re still SOL. #toerrishumantoforgiveisnotairlinepolicy

A 13-year Harvard University study of 20,000 women found that those who drank half a bottle of wine a day had a 70 % reduced risk of obesity compared to non-drinkers. For all those who didn’t already have enough reason for a Mother’s Day toast!

Mother’s Day in the NBA. Another reason for players to want their teams to go deep into the playoffs. Being busy eliminates those tough decisions about which of their children’s moms to take to brunch.

SNL opening skit Saturday night focused on the GOP 2016 Presidential contenders. But really, how could SNL have the hubris to imagine they could come up with anything funnier and more absurd than the candidates themselves?

thanks! He grew up learning how to throw strikes too.

Nice pic! And a bonus shot of Rick Reuschel, who I learned to appreciate during his long stay with the Cubs. He always battled, he pitched every 5 days (or more often), he never gave up & yes, he threw strikes. 200+ innings for 8 straight years with the Cubs. I imagined Kruk learned a lot from him.

Yeah, Reuschel said a strikeout was a waste of two pitches at least. He liked to get hitters to roll over on the first pitch. 🙂 Oddly enough, my son still has that same baby semi-glare at times.
