A plague on both your houses?

September 28, 2016

Colin Kaepernick after Monday’s Presidential debate said “Both are proven liars and it almost seems like they’re trying to debate who’s less racist.”
Well, suppose it’s a good thing there’s no chance the SF 49ers will be making a White House visit any time soon.

 

Could someone inform the #SFGiants that if you score 12 runs in 2 games it’s not a bad idea to split them up?

–

Matt Duffy apparently stopped by the #SFGiants clubhouse today. Could he lend the team #Skeeter?

–

Interesting point on bullpens in the postseason made by Tom Verducci in SI.com today – the percentage games won by relief pitchers in the regular season and then in post season: 1965-68 – 26.8% and 8%. 1995-98 – 30.0% and 35.4%. 2012-2015 – 30.4% and 41.3%.
Of course Madbum in 2014 was both a starter AND a reliever. #SFGiants

–

Arguing that being banned from baseball didn’t mean its Hall of Fame, Pete Rose apparently has made a direct appeal to the Hall to restore his eligibility. Wonder what his odds are?

–

A fan who proposed to his girlfriend at Yankee Stadium during a Red Sox Yankees game had to hunt in the seats for the ring which he dropped as he dropped to a knee. Fortunately the ring was found and she said yes. Did the happy couple get an autographed ball from Starlin Castro?

(for those going, huh?, Castro is not known for his defense.)

–

If @realDonaldTrump bails on the next two debates will @HillaryClinton try to borrow Clint Eastwood’s chair?

–

Some say that @realDonaldTrump will learn from his mistakes in 1st debate. That assumes that Trump actually ever thinks he makes mistakes.

–

Now Donald Trump, Jr. is praising his father’s “courage” for not mentioning Bill Clinton’s cheating on Monday night “out of respect for Chelsea.”
Right, so anyone want to start a pool on how many times the thrice-married Trump and his family will congratulate themselves for not mentioning infidelity?

–

 

Gary Johnson was asked today to name his favorite foreign leader, and he couldn’t do it, finally admitting “I’m having a brain freeze.” So what’s Johnson’s plan after the election, running for Governor of Texas?

–

It’s too easy as a U.S.woman to criticize Gary Johnson for not being able to name his favorite foreign leader  Justin Trudeau.  Next question?

–

So with Arizona Republic, the Dallas Morning News and the CIncinnati Enquirer breaking with long tradition and joining more liberal papers to endorse a Democrat for President, wonder if Trump’s plan if elected will be to eliminate all press credentials.

Chuck Todd said that last night Hillary Clinton “seemed over-prepared at times.” Well, the next time Todd needs to see a doctor or a lawyer, trust he will look for one who didn’t spend too much time studying.

–

Whatever you think of last night’s #debate, remember that online polls are as accurate in determining winners as #MLB #AllStarGame voting.

–

 

Toronto relief pitcher Joaquin Benoit tripped running out of the bullpen to join a brawl against the Yankees. Today the Blue Jays announced he tore his left calf and will miss at least the rest of the regular season. Ah yes, yet another casualty of testosterone poisoning.

–

That moment you know you’ve raised your son right – when he asks you if last night felt like watching Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs.

 

Waiting for Sarah Palin to opine that Donald Trump’s deciding to participate in the next two debates would be “the worthless, easy path; that’s a quitter’s way out.”

–

Donald Trump about last night “They gave me a defective mic.” So the Donald expects Americans to trust him to handle challenges like the economy, foreign affairs and terrorism, and he can’t even handle perceived challenges with equipment?

 

So @RealDonaldTrump is complaining about microphone because it didn’t translate what he said into words that sounded presidential?

 

 

Last night Trump said Lester Holt did a “great job,” today he claimed that Holt “gave me some very unfair questions.” Is consistency part of that temperament the Donald brags about?

–

Just imagine the reaction if @HillaryClinton had said last night she didn’t pay federal taxes because “I’m smart.” #Trump #misogyny #debate

 

Rudy Giuliani said that because Hillary Clinton didn’t know immediately that Monica was telling the truth and Bill was lying that Hillary is “too stupid to be President.”
So that’s why Rudy divorced his first two wives, because they were too stupid to know he was cheating on them?

–

Two bomb explosions in Dresden, Germany today. Once again, proof that the West shouldn’t accept Mid-East refugees. Oh, wait, they were at a conference center for Unity Day and at a mosque. Move along, nothing to see here.

–

Finally, a quote from Gregg Popovich, on athletes speaking out about race etc. ” If it’s not your daily experience, you don’t understand it. I didn’t talk to my kids about how to act in front of a policeman when you get stopped. I didn’t have to do that. All of my black friends have done that. There’s something that’s wrong about that, and we all know that. What’s the solution?” 

Go Spurs.
