Match made in somewhere?

May 11, 2016

For all those who have wondered how Heidi Cruz could possibly put up with Ted, this is Heidi yesterday, saying the campaign was not in vain “God does not work in four-year segments.”Be full of faith and so full of joy that this team was chosen to fight a long battle Think that slavery — it took 25 years to defeat slavery. That is a lot longer than four years.”
And just think, she could have been First Lady. ‪#‎madeforeachother‬

 

Donald Trump is still stonewalling on calls to release his tax returns, saying in an AP interview. “there’s nothing to learn from them.”
“Nothing to learn…” Am sure the Donald will say the same thing about Hillary’s emails and Goldman Sachs speeches..

 

 

#‎MaxScherzer‬ had 20 strikeouts today. Wonder how many frustrated fans had 1st reaction “Didn’t even know ‪#‎Nats‬ were playing the ‪#‎SFGiants‬

 

When you are 4 for 43 with RISP shouldn’t it be RIBSP? “Runners in Being Stranded Position.”. ‪#‎SFGiants‬

Figures after a week where the ‪#‎SFGiants‬ seem to have forgotten they have bats, they win in the 13th without a hit and walk-off walk.

 

Just when you think humanity can’t go any lower, here’s breaking news out of Florida: “George Zimmerman auctioning off gun that he used in Trayvon Martin shooting.”
Not sure which is lower though about this auction, George or the bidders. ‪#‎WishthisweretheOnion‬

Gwyneth Paltrow has a “lifestyle” site, “Goop,” with various items for sale. Including now a $15,000 24-karat gold plated dildo, which includes “free discreet shipping, A PDF manual, and a 10-year warranty. But it’s not as if Paltrow is out of touch with ordinary people – the site sells a silver model for only $7,900.

Way to get that sponsor love – Former MLBer Brandon Laird, now playing in Japan, hit a home run off a Kirin beer sign and won $10,000 plus a year’s worth of beer. When asked what he would do with the prize, Laird responded “Definitely not drink it. Maybe give some to the batting practice pitchers or whoever wants it.”

The NBA has acknowledged they made two mistakes against the Spurs in the end of last night’s loss, first, a non-call when Kawhi Leonard tried to foul Kevin Durant at the end of the game, second a foul called against Danny Green when he was tripped by Steven Adams and fell into Durant.
Well, this ought to do wonders to reassure people who think the league is fixed.

 

In Massachusetts, a man who was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and told staffers the “devil was playing tricks on his mind,” was released the same day/ He then went on a stabbing rampage, killing two people and injuring two others before he was himself fatally shot by an off-duty deputy. ‪#‎Ifonlyhewerearmed‬

Lost?

‪#‎SFGiants‬ offense making a strong bid to be featured on milk cartons.

 

Would say ‪#‎SFGiants‬ offense was on life-support but based on last few games most doctors would have pulled the plug by now.

Has someone informed ‪#‎SFGiants‬ that you have to score the old-fashioned way to win? Penalty kicks are not an option.

In California, the assembly has advanced a bill that would require all single-stall public restrooms to be gender neutral. So would the toilet seat be required to be left up, or down?

At the Standard Hotel in Manhattan, a man says a woman he had just met went back to his hotel room with him at 4a and ended up stealing a diamond engagement ring.. Well, not sure when the guy was planning to propose, but if his would-be fiancee hears the story, he won’t need the ring anyway.

#‎Curry‬ is 1st NBA unanimous MVP. After last night any voter who’d toyed with putting him 2nd to make a point is probably happy they didn’t.

President Obama signed a bill making the bison the US animal. Makes sense to do it now, with the risk of a Trump presidency the Donald might want to give that title to the furry thing that lives on his head.

Disney stock tumbled 5% because their earnings for for last year were “only” $2.14 billion. ‪#‎whatswrongwiththispicture‬?

#‎McDonalds‬ is testing garlic fries but running out of ingredients. Does that mean we can blame ‪#‎SFGiants‬ for future US garlic shortage?.

 

Ted Cruz is suggesting he might not be done in 2016 – “We suspended the campaign because I can see no viable path to victory. Of course if that changed we would reconsider things.”
For someone who claims to hear directly from God, you would think he’d pay a bit more attention to God shouting “Ted, give it up already.”

Budweiser has announced that they will change their beer label to read “America” until the 2016 Presidential election. Because thinking of our options makes most Americans want to chug beer?

Royals’ minor leaguer Raul Mondesi, 20, son of the former Dodger etc, has received a reduced suspension of 50 days (instead of 80.) for a steroid, after he showed it came from an over-the-counter supplement. Mondesi “Never did I intend to take a substance that would give me an unfair advantage on the field. It is solely my mistake and there are no excuses for my carelessness in not being fully informed of what I put in my body.”
Now, seems like the kid is on the level, but maybe MLB just once should reduce the suspension of the first guy who says honestly “Yeah, I took PED’s – you have any idea how hard it is to be THAT close to the majors?”

 

From Marc Ragovin  “An ad in NYC for Delta Airlines has the line “We Go Wherever They Go” over a picture of the Yankees taking the field. So I called up and asked how much two tickets to the cellar would cost me.”
