Get out the rake.

July 31, 2016

Madison Bumgarner today had a pinch-hit lead off double for the SF Giants.  Too bad manager Bruce Bochy doesn’t have more bench players who can hit like him. #PItcherswhorake

 

After Saturday’s SF Giants win manager Bruce Bochy was talking about deciding who to pinch hit: “Of course I’ve got Bumgarner on my left shoulder wearing me out”. And Bochy thought it was bad before today…

 

So at what point does some opposing pitcher write on wall of SFGiants visitor’s dugout “Do NOT throw fastballs to #40?”

 

The Chicago Cubs  put pitcher Travis Wood in left & he made a great catch against ivy at Wrigley. Uh, oh, hope Madison Bumgarner isn’t watching. He’ll want to play the outfield next.

Then in the bottom of the 12th, Jon Lester won it for the Cubs with a suicide squeeze. #Pitcherswhokindofrake?

 

 

Earlier today the Warriors’ Draymond Green posted a picture of his junk on Snapchat, then took it down about 10 min later “I kinda hit the wrong button and it sucks. It was meant to be private. We’re all one click away from placing something in the wrong place and I suffered from that this morning.”
Uh, “WE’RE all…?” ‪#‎Ifsocialmediaisoutlawedonlyoutlawswillhavesocialmedia‬?. Or more like ‪#‎Cantfixstupid‬

The Brewers are 15 games out in 4th place, and catcher Jonathan Lucroy just exercised no-trade clause to veto trade to the first place Indians. Maybe just as well for Cleveland, has anyone checked Locroy for concussions?.

The Yankees have traded Andrew Miller, effectively surrendering for the season. Time for ESPN really to focus on football

After tweets of hers from 2013-14 showed her repeatedly using the “N” word, Miss Teen USA, Karlie Hay, 18, apologized, saying “several years ago I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person.”
So, Ms. Hay is young, but is she aspiring to be a GOP speechwriter?

 

Waiting for the Trump excuse, “I alone can debate myself.”

Let me see if I have this right. Trump supporters believe parents of children who were killed accidentally by illegal immigrant drivers were onstage for the good of our country, but the parents of a Muslim-American who died in Iraq were telling their story only for political propaganda….

 

From T.C.  “Sign that I’m bringing to AT&T Park. Hunter Pence has read The Constitution!!”

Two no trump

Donald Trump is already complaining about the Presidential Debate Schedule being rigged.  (It was set in fall of 2015.) The Donald says two debates Tcompete with “major NFL games”. Uh, the first debate is Monday, Sept 26. Competes with MNF Falcons and Saints. OK, I’m an actual New Orleans fan who adores  Drew Brees, but have to think “major NFL game?”

(just guessing New Orleans Atlanta might be the lowest rated NFL game of the season outside Louisiana and Georgia.)

 

So Trump claimed the NFL had sent him a letter complaining about the Debate schedule. The league issued a statement “while we obviously wish the Debate Commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Mr Trump.”
Has the Donald figured, whatever else you do in the world, do not mess with the NFL? ‪#‎dumbDonald‬

 

 

Would ‪#‎TomBrady‬ like to advise @realDonaldTrump on how well it works when you lie and involve the @NFL?

 

Giants won today with a come from behind win against Nationals.  Fans knew it had to get better. At least we knew the @SFGiants can’t hit into a quadruple play today.

#‎SFGiants‬ had best record in ‪#‎MLB‬ before All-Star break, worst record since break. Forget players, how do ‪#‎Giants‬ trade for more smoke & mirrors

 

So apparently ‪#‎PokemonGO‬ isn’t available in Rio. Forget Zika, crime, pollution, sewage & substandard facilities, this is serious. ‪#‎Olympics‬

Is ‪#‎Trump‬‘s attack on the family of a fallen Muslim soldier enough that even John McCain says “f*ck it, I’m voting for @HillaryClinton?

#‎Netflix‬ was down in the US and around the world Saturday night. Hope their customer service people didn’t just tell angry callers to chill.

Netflix was down in 13 countries tonight, including the U.S. The horror. On a Saturday night, billions of people were forced to talk to each other.

 

So what are the odds ‪#‎DumbDonald‬ becomes @realDonaldTrump’s Secret Service code name?

‪#‎TrumpSacrifices‬ – Having to forgo trading wife #3 in for a new model. Melania is 46 now, past normal ‪#‎Trump‬ wife sell-by-date.

From T.C.  Melania Trump’s website has been deleted. Followers believe it will be up and running as soon as is she is able to figure out how to plagiarize Hillary’s speech from Thursday night
