Kings of the road?

April 9, 2016

The San Diego Padres have scored 0 runs in 3 games at Petco & 29 runs in 2 games at Coors.   Will hitters petition to play 2017 home games in Denver?

–

‪#‎SFGiants‬ are experimenting with batting the pitcher 8th. ‪#‎MadBum‬ is making a strong pitch to bat at least 6th.

–

Seriously, from ESPN, since 2014, Madison Bumgarner has hit a HR every 8.4 ABs at AT&T Park. Barry Bonds’ career AB/HR at AT&T Park: 8.8.
–

So when his arm finally tires, will Madbum move to the AL as a  DH?
–
Lip readers had a treat watching Kershaw after Madbum took him deep, again. “Are you f*cking sh*tting me?”

–
Not that most announcers aren’t homers, but Golden State Warriors TV announcers spent much of the game complaining about foul calls their team wasn’t getting.  Then at the end of a 100-99 game when Lance Stephenson was hacked more than once…. crickets.

–

Zach Johnson missed the cut at the Masters after a replay showed that his club accidentally touched the water when his ball was partially submerged and he was assessed a 2-shot penalty. And people think the balk rule is arcane.

–

The cost of mailing a letter will drops to 47 cents starting April 10. And millennials are going “What’s a letter?”

–

It’s been two days since the American Idol final finale. So have we all forgotten the name of the white guy with a guitar who won yet?

–

LB Von Miller says if it were up to him, he’d have Johnny Manziel on the Broncos. Hmm, can you get concussions from being on Dancing on the Stars?

–

Has Bernie Sanders just forfeited any claim to outsider status? He and his wife were seen attending a performance of “Hamilton.” Uh, even most 1 percenters can’t get those tickets.

–

Cruz says he was “double-crossed” by Kasich in Michigan for delegate spots, Kasich’s campaign said the Cruz campaign broke their end of a deal first. Oh this horrible GOP on GOP violence. ‪#‎ifonlytheywerearmed‬

–

So as some in the GOP like to talk about Bill Clinton’s indiscretions while Hillary is running for president, it’s interesting to note that the Speaker who led the proceedings was having an affair, his replacement quit after news broke of multiple affairs, and then HIS replacement turns out of have molested at least four teenage boys. ‪#‎Familyvalues‬

Sad and not so sad story

April 9, 2016

Trevor Story, 23, has now become the first MLB rookie to hit home runs in his first four games. Story is starting only because Jose Reyes is serving a suspension under the new domestic abuse policy for an alleged incident with his wife last fall. So maybe mean bitch Karma is a baseball fan.

–

Mean bitch karma knows you NEVER pull someone pitching no-hitter, even & especially a kid in 1st ‪#‎MLB‬ start. ‪#‎Dodgers‬ ‪#‎Giants‬ ‪#‎Stripling‬
–

In Orlando, Dino Rentos Studios says they broke the record for the world’s largest bobblehead. Was it a life-size model of ‪#‎SFGiants‬ manager Bruce Bochy?

 

–

 

#‎SDPadres‬ act like an ‪#‎NLS‬ team with no scoring against ‪#‎Dodgers‬ for 3 games, & then an ‪#‎NFL‬ team today against ‪#‎Rockies‬ – 13-6 final.‪#‎WTF‬?

–

Ouch. It’s only the first week, and Chicago outfielder Kyle Schwarber is out for the season with a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. Did someone put the Cubs on the cover of Sports Illustrated or something?

–

A California man scaled a 600-ft rock in Morro Bay to propose to his girlfriend via FaceTime. She said yes, but then her new fiance got stuck and had to be rescued by helicopter.
Guess she’s not marrying him for his brains.

–
New York City is expecting snow this weekend. Who to blame? Maybe too many Republicans said hell would freeze over before they endorsed Ted Cruz for the Presidency?

–

San Antonio rested their regulars tonight in Denver. Sometimes it’s good to be Gregg Popovich – having the Spurs kind of players probably means he doesn’t have to worry about them then overindulging in Colorado with room service brownies etc.

–

The NFL released their preseason schedule today. Surprised ESPN didn’t devote a four-hour long show to it.

–

A 28 year-old Texas middle school teacher has been arrested for sending nude photos to a former student, now in high school, on Snapchat. The boy reportedly deleted them but his friends sent screenshots around.
The woman was charged with misdemeanor distribution of harmful material to a minor. And presumably felony stupidity? ‪#‎nothingisprivateontheinternet‬.

–

Ted Cruz’s campaign manager said that if Donald Trump “doesn’t get over 50% in New York, he should probably consider dropping out.” Right, so how much did Ted Cruz get in Texas? 43.8%.

–

The NFL released their preseason schedule today. Surprised ESPN didn’t devote a four-hour long show to it.

–

Dianne Feinstein wrote an op-ed urging her colleagues to consider Judge Garland, saying his “long record of public service calls for fair consideration, open hearings and a vote. Refusal to do this would, in my judgment, only further diminish the Senate in the eyes of the American people.”
Although, really, can anyone further diminish the Senate than Ted Cruz?
