And down the stretch they stumble

May 21, 2016

Today was the ‪#‎Preakness‬. Otherwise known to millions as the race  that answers the question. “Do we care about the ‪#‎Belmont‬ this year?”

#‎Exaggerator‬ wins the ‪#‎Preakness‬. Hope this isn’t an omen about ‪#‎DonaldTrump‬

Saturday’s rainy ‪#‎Preakness‬ Stakes had almost as much mud flying around as the Presidential race.

 

Now that ‪#‎Exaggerator‬ has won the ‪#‎Preakness‬ is he telling other horses about the ‪#‎Belmont‬ and his potential ‪#‎TripleCrown‬ win?

While the Preakness was a good race, the sad story at Pimlico was that two other horse died earlier at the track today, one from a heart attack after winning a race, one after falling and breaking her leg. But wonder how many people are decrying horse racing while taking another bite of their hamburger or hot dog.

The Oklahoma legislature is calling for the impeachment of President Obama over his bathroom rights directive, which they say is “biblically wrong.” Fine then, if it’s all about morals, shouldn’t they also be trying to get that “I’m just a girl who can’t say no” song out of their state musical? ‪#‎OklahomanotOK‬

Apparently some Americans are rethinking travel to Europe in the wake of 66 people being killed in the Egypt Air crash. So they’ll stay home and drive this summer, where about 3,000 of us will get killed each month on the roads.

Another day, more plumbing issues at O.co Coliseum before ‪#‎As‬ ‪#‎Yankees‬ game. Insert “sh*tty baseball teams” joke here”:

A Willie Mays 1952 Topps rookie card just sold for $478,000 at auction. And millions of men thinking of their own childhood collections are silently screaming “Mom!!”

 

Have many wonderful ‪#‎Cubs‬ fan friends. For some reason they are a little quieter today than yesterday. ‪#‎SFGiants‬

Matt Cain, who hadn’t had a win since last July, had his first win for the #SFGiants in 2016, along with his first hit, a two-run double. And the Giants hung on to win 5-3 So clearly the way Cain needs to win is simply supply his own RBIs.

Although closer Santiago Casilla,  who gave up a  home run to start the 9th in a a 5-2 game, once again did his best to stimulate alcohol sales around the San Francisco Bay Area. ‪#‎Torture‬ ‪#‎SFGiants‬

In Santiago, two zoo lions were shot and killed after they mauled a man who jumped into their enclosure. Poor cats. And what a shame. Deprived the guy of a Darwin and the zoo of a reduced food bill.

Bless your heart.

On the app “Whisper” Disney employees have shared confessions. including that “Have a magical day” actually means “Go f*ck yourself.”
And millions of southern women are going “Really? How nice.”

Today is the Preakness. Otherwise known for millions of Americans as the two minutes in sports that tells us “So do we care about the Belmont this year?”  #TripleCrown

In off-season workouts, the Pittsburgh Steelers are using with robotic tackling dummies which can simulate NFL players. So are these also the first robots that can get themselves arrested.

Just when you think it can’t get any weirder. Mark Cuban now says he’s “wide open to considering” being Hillary Clinton’s running mate ‪#‎beammeupScottytheresnointelligentlifeonthisplanet‬

After basically dispatching his rivals, Donald Trump has made Hillary Clinton his number one target, referring to her as “Crooked Hillary.” This following “Lyin’ Ted”, “Little Marco,” etc. Is Trump running for President of the U.S. or President of his son’s fifth grade class?

Rough spring for ‪#‎MattHarvey‬. Who knew that the only thing rising about this ‪#‎DarkKnight‬ would be his ERA. ‪#‎Mets‬

Maroon 5 has canceled their upcoming concerts in North Carolina, prompting an angry response from the Governor’s office. Shocking. Not that Gov. McCory wants to lose concert revenue, but that he’s apparently more upset about losing Maroon 5 than Bruce Springsteen.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin , who is extremely pro-life/anti-choice, nonetheless vetoed a bill today that would have made it a felony for doctors to perform abortion. Falin said it was because the bill was “ambiguous and so vague” But guessing she had million$ of other rea$on$.

 

A unidentified suspect with a gun who might have been trying to get into the ‪#‎WhiteHouse‬ was shot today. Say, has anyone seen ‪#‎TedCruz‬?

Meanwhile, despite divisions, the GOP appears to be falling more or less in line behind Donald Trump, while the Democratic party appears more fractured than ever. So much for those who thought that at least Ralph Nader would be a teachable moment. ‪#‎whenwillweeverlearn‬

 

To speed up games, MLB may change the lower part of the strike to the top of the hitter’s knees. Fine, that’s the lower part – anyone remember seeing a strike actually called at the letters though?
