Once more into the breach.

October 30, 2016

Santa Clara has accused the 49ers of breaching their contract with the city and is threatening to take over management of Levi’s Stadium. What, did the Niners promise to field a professional team?

–
Well, at least #49ers didn’t disappoint their fans this Sunday. #Byeweek
–
Meanwhile New Orleans hodlds on for 25-20 win. But on Halloween eve, @Saints fans saw again that nothing is scarier than their last minute defense.
(For those who didn’t see, Russell Wilson had less than 2 minutes with no time outs, and  what would have been a game winning TD pass as time expired was incomplete only because it was BARELY out of bounds.)
–
And in London, the Redskins and Bengals play to a 27-27 tie. Frustrated English fans have to wonder…. “Where are the penalty kicks?”
–
–
No matter whether you’re an Indians or Cubs fan, the good news tonight – the baseball season lasts two more days.
–
You know it might not be your year, or your decade, when you’re the Indianapolis Colts, and your leading rushing in today’s loss to the Chiefs was Andrew Luck with 9 carries for 60 yards.
–
As Americans continue to freak out over constantly changing polls, has anyone actually responded to a pollster? #Election2016
–
The Washington Post reports Huma Abedin didn’t have lawyers search the computer she shared with Anthony Weiner, because she didn’t think any of her emails would be on it. But really,  leaving politics aside with Huma, apparently there were a lot of things she didn’t know involving her estranged husband.
–

Reports are that the FBI reportedly interviewed Angelina Jolie for hours over Brad Pitt allegedly assaulting their teenage son.on their private jet. Can’t wait to see how the GOP spins this against Hillary Clinton. Surely there are emails.

–

Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says of the man who shouted “Jew-S-A!” at a Trump, his “conduct was deplorable. And had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him.”
Of course had he slammed Muslims, or Mexicans, or “nasty women,” have to wonder if he’d be asked on stage.

Now Donald Trump says “”Wow, Twitter, Google and Facebook are burying the FBI criminal investigation of Clinton. Very dishonest media!”
Right, because there is NO mention of Hillary’s emails on social media. #sarcasm
Maybe Trump might feel differently if he actually READ instead of just posting tweets?

#FBI to process 650,000 emails on #AnthonyWeiner & #HumaAbedin‘s laptop, 650,000?! Will they finish before #Clinton re-election campaign?

–

GOP  Halloween attack ad? “We’ve tried to bury Hillary Clinton so many times, she’s still alive, she must be a zombie.”

Not over.

October 29, 2016

There have only been 5 teams in MLB history to have come back from 3-1 World Series deficits. All of them more recent World Series wins than the Chicago Cubs.

–

So how long until they sell t-shirts at #WrigleyField “Wait until next century”? #Cubs #WorldSeries

–

Corey Kluber, the latest member to the “Pitchers Who Rake” club.  Well, kinda sorta. (infield hit)  Somewhere #Madbum is smiling.

–

Maybe  Jose Fernandez toxicology report, showing he was legally drunk, and with cocaine in his system, will be  cautionary tale for young men who think they’re invincible?  For about five minutes. But we can dream.

–

–

NC Governor Pat McCory, in a tough re-election fight against Democrat Roy Cooper, is tired of questions about House Bill 2, the anti-LBGT law he signed. In an ad decrying political correctness McCory asks “Are we really talking about this?”
Maybe the question should be “Did you really sign this?”

–

Donald Trump today over Comey’s email announcement “This is the lowest point in the history of our country.” Uh, Donald, with your campaign it wasn’t even the lowest point this week.

–

When FBI said there would be  no charges over #Clinton emails, #GOP claimed Comey was a secret Democrat.  After Friday’s letter the GOP is pretending Comey’s  not Republican

–

 

Who knows what James #Comey‘s 2017 plans are, but now pretty sure they didn’t include staying #FBI director in a #Clinton administration.

–

New #GirlScoutCookie #thinmints cereal debuts in January. In the meantime, just put cookies in a bowl and pour milk over them.
–
Saturday was  #NationalCatDay. And cats are sniffing “EVERY day is national cat day.”

Half a show and an evening performance of the New York Metropolitan Opera was cancelled today after a suspicious powder was sprinkled into the orchestra pit. Apparently the powder may have been human ashes. Hope some guy didn’t tell his wife he’d have to be dead before he’d go to another opera.

–

An Iowa woman has been arrested for voting twice in the general election. Police said Terri Rote cast an early ballot at the election office and another at a satellite location. In a radio interview, Rote said she first voted for Trump, then worried the ballot would be changed to a Clinton vote. “”I wasn’t planning on doing it twice – it was spur-of-the-moment.The polls are rigged.”
“The polls are rigged? So will the Donald tell supporters to vote as often as possible to combat them? #youcantmakethisstuffup

Nobody’s perfect.

October 28, 2016

Jon Stewart, when he quit “The Daily Show” in 2015. “I’d covered an election four times, and it didn’t appear that there was going to be anything wildly different about this one.”

–

Another reason baseball is the BEST sport. In a 1-0 game you can’t just play keep-away & try to run out clock. #WorldSeries #Indians #Cubs

–

The World Series reminds us again that #As really are a farm system for the rest of MLB. #Crisp #Zobrist #Lester #Russell #Davis #Otero

While the SF Giants are not in the World Series, Giants fans had to like to hear ESPN’s play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman on Indians pitcher Tomlin “”he can handle bat though he’s no Bumgarner.”

–

The U.K. Telegraph finally posted an interview with Bob Dylan saying he “absolutely” wants to attend the Nobel Prize Ceremony “if it’s at all possible.”
Actually, Dylan probably gave the interview on the day he won the award, it’s just taken them this long to translate it.

–

A recent Chapman University poll showed that 32% of Americans are afraid of climate change, while 42% are afraid of clowns. #BeamMeUpScottieThereIsNoIntelligentLifeOnThisPlanet

–

In a debate with Tammy Duckworth, who is a Purple Heart winner from the Iraq War and double amputee, Sen. Mark Kirk made a jab at her mother’s being from Thailand. Among those who have criticized him, KellyAnne Conway. Thereby answering a question “How low do you have to go to be called out by the Trump campaign?”.

–

Today is #NationalChocolateDay. And women are going “Isn’t EVERY day ‘National Chocolate Day?'”

 

Pac 12 Commissioner Larry Scott, answering a reporter’s question about a TV contract that has Cal playing back-to-back weeknight games during a tough academic period. “That hasn’t been a parameter, academic schedules per se, so it hasn’t come up… Well of course not, the idea of big conference television contracts started with the SEC. #whatacademicschedules?

–

 

An American Airlines flight at O’Hare caught fire when a tire apparently blew on takeoff. Expect flight delays. And for United Airlines to immediately institute a tire maintenance fee.

–

“New” Clinton emails may be from #AnthonyWeiner. Will #FBI agents reading them get hardship pay for needing to take so many showers?

 

No doubt Hillary Clinton is furious over the alleged Anthony Weiner messages being used to reopen her FBI email investigation. On the other hand, she has to be very thankful sexting wasn’t an option during Bill’s time in the White House.

–

Rumor today that if Hillary Clinton wins she would like to name Biden as Secretary of State. Wonder if this means Joe, who would be 81,  wants to run for President in 2024?

 

From T.C.  “Tickets for this weekend’s games at Wrigley will average $5,000 ea. Of course, this includes Steve Bartman’s ticket. The Cubs gave him $10,000 to go watch the game at a bar in Miami.”

Out of bounds?

October 27, 2016

If the Raiders head to Las Vegas, Oakland still might not be without a team.  At this point Santa Clara/SF might ask them to “take our 49ers, please.”

–

The NFL wonders why ratings are down. Lots of complicated hypotheses – but then there are simple answers – like tonight’s nationally televised game – Jaguars vs. Titans. #nobodycares

–

Twitter is shutting down #Vine. Advantage of being slow to adopt new technologies, wait long enough & some of it disappears before you get around to it.

–

#Twitter announced they are laying off 9% of their workers. Does this mean we’ll soon be down to 127 characters?

–

Mike #Pence campaign plane skidded off runway at #LaGuardia. No details but pretty sure it didn’t veer to the left.#Trump

–

Earlier today Mike Pence was asked if there was a “red line” Trump could cross that might cause him to leave the GOP ticket. His answer “We’re in this campaign and we’re in it to win,” Translation, “no.”

(Maybe Pence should have told his pilot about red lines on the runway?)

–

 

A Texas A&M freshman was arrested after she allegedly opened her blouse to take a Snapchat picture to send to her boyfriend.  While allegedly drunk. And driving. Until she  crashed her car… into a police car.  No injuries. But another Darwin award #misseditbythatmuch

–

More than $5 million worth of cocaine washed ashore in a tube in Ireland. Talk about a high tide.

 

The GOP is already promising blocked Supreme Court nominees and Congressional investigations if Hillary Clinton wins on Nov. 8. Or as President Obama calls it, business as usual.

–

Ted Cruz’s latest “there is long historical precedent for a Supreme Court with fewer justices.” For such a self-described constitutionalist, Ted sure seems to have skipped the “advise and consent” part.

–

Former Congressman Joe Walsh tweeted out “On November 8th, I’m voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I’m grabbing my musket. You in?”
Ah yes, that GOP bridge to the 18th century.

 

–

At Ohio rally today, @realDonaldTrump “we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump.” Would be funnier if he were joking.

–

Some reports on the Mike Pence plane semi-crash landing at La Guardia are that the plane was moving too fast in the rain, and overshot the runway. But hey so, it was only ordinary travelers who were delayed and taxpayer dollars will no doubt pay for the cleanup and investigation. #MakeAmericaGreatforBillionairesagain

–

At Rapid City’s airport, a SkyWest Airlnes pilot was arrested for alleged DUI before he was scheduled to fly a plane. Will his defense be that he really aspired to work for Delta?

 

Donald Trump said today NBC’s releasing the Billy Bush tape “was “certainly illegal, no question about it.,” and indicated he might sue.
But of course all the Wikileaks emails involving Hillary Clinton are pure freedom of speech….

 

Kansas Rep. Joe Seiwert, commenting about singer Denasia Lawrence kneeling down before a basketball game “I’m so sick of these anti-American blacks, f–k Black Live Matter. Go back to where you claim home”
Thinking a whole lot of Native Americans are thinking, “Back at ya.”

–

Sometimes you wonder why any sane person would ever go into politics. Here’s partial Wikileak quote from Huma Abedin on Hillary planning to speak about a Super Pac issue with Jeb Bush. “She’s going to stick to notes a little closer this am, still not perfect in her head”
Okay, I’ve only done a little speaking, but seems reasonable, when you don’t have something down cold, and you don’t want to make mistakes, you use notes. And conservative sites are saying “not perfect in her head” means she has an illness affecting her brain.

On and on…

October 26, 2016

4 hours & 4 minutes for 5-1 Chicago win. Good thing Cubs have plenty of fans because these first two World Series games  would not convert many to MLB

–

Blowout baseball games are really only fun to watch if you’re a fan of the team doing the blowing-out. Another reason Fox might consider showing more regular season games to create national rather than regional interest….

 

Just one game and one win, but tonight did Lakers get a taste of what it might have been like to have Kobe Bryant retire sooner?

–

Yoenis Cespedes has opted out of his #Mets contract and plans to test free agent market. Because 4 teams in 6 years wasn’t enough?

–

Looking at all these bundled-up players in 40 degree temperatures during the World Series makes me nostalgic for Candlestick Park.

–

A police report on the crash that took the life of Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez found “a strong odor of alcohol” and evidence that whoever was driving the boat was speeding and driving with “recklessness” that was “exacerbated by the consumption of alcohol.”
Sad, really sad. But “I am shocked, said nobody.”

–

American is going to be the next major U.S. airline to start selling “Basic” economy fares – no changes, standby, seat assignments, etc. So how low can they go – the option to fly as cargo?.

–

Newt Gingrich tweeted today “‘For the record Megyn Kelly is wrong, I don’t have anger management issues. I do have media bias issues!” Wonder if he was shouting while he wrote it.

–

 

Story out of Australia is that two beautiful young women who were contestants on the “The Bachelor” did indeed find love. With each other. Hmm, if this becomes a thing might increase U.S. men’s viewership.

–

All of this “repeal and replace” about Obamacare that the GOP is spouting. Of course what they don’t spout is that they want to replace it with nothing.

–

 

 

 

Trump says he’s going to spend over $100 million on his campaign before election day. Has someone told him he can’t take this loss off his taxes?

–

Trump today “I will never, ever take the African-American community for granted — unlike Hillary.”‘
Okay but while the Donald castigates Hillary for what she didn’t do in the Senate, why, with all his decades-old business empire can Trump not name a thing he has done as far as minority hiring and other outreach?

 

–

Donald Trump said last week that “I will reverse Obama’s executive orders & concessions towards Cuba.” Meaning besides travel that Cuban rum & cigars will become illegal again. Forget sexual assault, racism, healthcare etc, this might be the “trump” card for Hillary to woo white men.

–

From Alex Kaseberg  “A youth football team was kicked out of its league in Rhode Island when they snuck a grown man into their lineup. Man, Johnny Manziel cannot catch a break.”

Folks I suppose became suspicious when the team beat the Browns.

–

–

From Paul Lander.  Indeed, the gift that keeps on giving:   “Happy 69th Birthday, @HillaryClinton. Don’t forget to send the Republican Party a thank you for the gift of nominating Trump.”

Maybe 81-1?

October 25, 2016

So maybe Golden State Warriors don’t want pressure of an undefeated season? Or maybe Greg Popovich is a very very good coach

 

And maybe Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon, who was head coach of the Spurs D-league in 2014 when Jonathan Simmons took MVP honors 2014,  is also a pretty good coach.

–

Big night in sports. #WorldSeries began for MLB. And the NBA started the 82-game second phase of their preseason.

–

World Series started tonight. Maybe if MLB actually showed some regular season games and put the playoffs on network television, millions of Americans might be able to name at least one Cleveland Indian.

–

#CarlosSantana starting at DH for @Indians. Casual fans thinking shouldn’t he play anthem instead & isn’t he kind of old. #WorldSeries

 

So for a while tonight it was looking like it was not just Bruce Bochy who might have pulled a star starter in playoffs too early.

But reliever Andrew Miller, with a 3 run lead, got the tying run to the plate in the 7th and 8th innings… and got out of it both times.  What a concept.  #SFGiants  #Sigh

–

The NY Giants have released kicker Josh Brown, saying that “Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided.”
Translation, we never believed those documents would be made public.

–

In select markets, #Arby’s announced they will begin testing venison sandwiches in select markets. Oh, deer.

–

Tuesday was  #NationalPassiveAggressive day. Fine, whatever.

–

Barack Obama on Jimmy Kimmel last night “What I don’t do is at 3 a.m. I don’t tweet about people who insulted me. I try to sleep so that in the morning I’m actually ready for a crisis.”
Waiting for the Donald tonight at 3 a.m. to insult the President’s stamina.

 

–

Glenn Beck just said he thinks Donald Trump is a sociopath. Well, the pot SHOULD be a kettle expert.

–

A new White House executive action will require airlines to refund baggage fees for delayed baggage. Seems reasonable. Wonder how much airlines will raise fees to cover it.

 

A British Airways flight from San Francisco to London made an emergency landing in Vancouver after the entire crew, including the pilot, became ill. Did they all have the fish? #Ahospitalwhatisit? #surelyyoucantbeserious

–

Justin Timberlake posted a selfie of himself doing early voting wth a covered up ballot, urging people to vote. But pictures in polling places are illegal in Tennessee. The horror. Trump claiming election fraud in 3.2.1…..

 

After Megyn Kelly told Newt Gingrich people have a right to hear reporting on women accusing Trump of being a “sexual predator, ” Gingrich actually shouted “You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy!”
Well, that should help with the women’s vote.

–

Trump told Reuters today as President he would not put any Democrats in his cabinet. Which could be tough. Not sure the Donald could find enough Republicans he hasn’t mortally offended.

–

Colin Powell today announced ““I am voting for Hillary Clinton.” Waiting for attack tweets from #DonaldTrump against Powell in 3.2.1….

 

My boat would have been huge, the best, that shark would have been sushi. Only losers get eaten. #TrumpaHorrorMovie

 

He had very small hands. I ate them with fava beans & the bestest Chianti. #TrumpAHorrorMovie.

 

From Mark Ricklis  “Have you seen the new Trump website? Grope-on.”

The Buck stops here?

October 24, 2016

There is a petition being circulated to replace Joe Buck with Bob Uecker for the World Series. They had me at “replace Joe Buck.”

–

In the December 2014 Foster Farms Bowl matching Stanford and Maryland at Levi’s Stadium, so few fans were interested that organizers closed off the upper bowl of the stadium and moved everyone down to the lower levels.
So for future home games, how much worse do the 49ers have to get before the team decides to do the same thing?

–

#NFL wonders why TV ratings are down & then Seahawks and Cardinals play to a 6-6 tie in overtime on Sunday Night Football.

 

General Mills said today they will produce limited-edition Girl Scout cookie cereal, in both Thin Mint and Caramel Crunch flavors. Isn’t it easier to just eat cookies for breakfast?

–

Saddest thing about this election? Molly Ivins is not still on earth to cover it.

–

Monday – October 24- was the last day to register to vote in California. So presume everyone who has not voted has forfeited bitching rights until next election!

–

Elizabeth Warren to Trump “nasty women have really had it with guys like you. And on November 8. we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever.”
Sometimes even the best SNL skit is no match for reality. #YouGoGirl

 

Despite Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim comments, a recent Zogby poll showed 12% of Arab-American Muslims said they’d vote for him. Guessing 99% of that 12% are men?

–

This sort of thing would be funnier if it weren’t true: Trump, denying his latest accuser “And she’s a porn star. You know, this one that came out recently, ‘he grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm.’ Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before.”
Can just imagine the Donald’s response on the subject of marital rape…

–

Last week President Obama said that while people worry about being “left behind” with globalization “To try to pull-up a drawbridge on trade would only hurt us and hurt our workers.”
To which Chris Christie no doubt responded “Uh, you don’t need a drawbridge.”

–

Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara, asked about any “October Surprises” today, responded “There’s still a couple of days left in October. So, we’ll see, we’ve got some stuff up our sleeve.”
Yeah, sounds like she’s become a Trump alright.

 –

Trump campaign manager KellyAnne Conway claimed that her boss would love more debates “the country benefits from those type of forum and we’d be willing to do another one if somehow they can squeeze it in.”
So is Conway really working for the Donald? Or for Alec Baldwin?

 

–Donald Trump today, trying to feed the hand he’s been biting “Go out and vote and that includes helping me reelect Republicans all over the place. He then added: “I hope they help me too! It’d be nice if they help us too, right?”
Someone really should tell the Donald that there is this thing called the internet that keeps track of every insult you say.

 

 

 

 

Marc Ragovin   “After watching the Giants/Rams game, I am surprised the Brits haven’t severed relations with the US.”

Impossible dreams?

October 24, 2016

After escaping with a 6-6 tie against Arizona, Seattle takes their nonexistent 2016 offense on the road to face the New Orleans defense. Which might prove an answer to the age old question: What happens when a resistible force meets 11 movable objects?

–

ESPN reports the Vikings got Sam Bradford from the Eagles for their 2017 1st round draft-pick plus a conditional 4th rounder in 2018. If however, Minnesota, makes the NFC championship game, the 4th round pick becomes a 3rd, BUT Philly would then have to send the Vikings 7th round pick.
This might be more complicated math than most football players ever took in college.

–

 

These London games mean on the West Coast you can wake up and already know your team has lost for the week. “And your point is?” say 49ers fans

 

#JameisWinston gets a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for arguing a spot on 3rd down Overly #crabby? #TBvsSF

–

So who was leaving Levi’s Stadium at a faster rate? Injured 49ers players, or disgusted 49ers fans? #TBvsSF

–

So can we officially go back to calling them the “Fourth and niners?”

–

GOP chair Reince Priebus on Trump “He is not willing to not concede if he loses and there’s no fraud.” Orwell would be proud. #doublespeak

 

Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Review-Journal has become the first major newspaper to endorse Donald Trump. “He promises to be a source of disruption and discomfort to the privileged, back-scratching political elites for whom the nation’s strength and solvency have become subservient to power’s pursuit and preservation.”
Got to love a man who can rail against the “privileged back scratching elites” after he buys a newspaper.

 

–

 

While I don’t love trending Twitter hashtags, #TrumpBookReport was too good to pass up:

–

Helen of Troy, overrated, wouldn’t have been my first choice. But I hear King Menealus had very small hands. #trumpbookreport

–

 

Six days to create the world? Really? I could have done it in five, and done much better for Adam than Eve. Nasty woman. #trumpbookreport

 

Overrated nasty woman, if I led France it would have been best victory ever. I don’t like people who get burnt at stake. #TrumpBookReport

The seasons they are a changin’

October 22, 2016

Since the Indians won in 5 games there’s  was no  baseball Friday night.  Sad premonition of winter.

–

Although with a possible Chicago-Cleveland World Series, maybe we will have the first WS game called for snow?

 

–

NY Giants coach Ben McAdoo, on kicker Josh Brown, accused of repeated domestic violence against his ex-wife. “We’re not going to turn our back on Josh.” Hmm, based on the allegations seems like it’s women who should be careful not to turn their backs on him.

–

Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick says despite the Fighting Irish’s disappointing start, Brian Kelly “will lead this team out of the tunnel opening day next year.”
Of course, Swarbrick didn’t say if it would be as coach or highly-paid waterboy.

–

AT&T is apparently going to buy Time-Warner. Yeah, that breakup of the phone company in 1982 because they were too big and dominant has worked well.

–

Twitter, Amazon, Spotify and other sites were down today at times due to a major cyber attack. The horror. Millions of Americans in their offices were actually forced to work.

–

At first, the Trump and his campaign were a joke. But then when it looked like he had a real chance, many thought he would get serious. Then when he won the nomination, many thought he would get disciplined. Then when he began losing to Hillary Clinton, many thought he would get focused. And some STILL think that actually winning the Presidency would turn him into a statesman….
#Heiswhowethoughthewas

–

So was that #DDoS attack that took down #Twitter from Russia? As in maybe even #Putin thinking “STFU Donald, you’re kllling our chances?

–

For all those who are debate junkies (or just gluttons for punishment), and are worried about going through withdrawal – David Duke has just qualified in Louisiana to share the stage in the final Senate candidate debate.

–

The trial in the Trump University lawsuit begins Nov. 29. And Donald Trump’s lawyers want what he has said during the campaign to be excluded, saying the admission of such evidence would risk “irremediable prejudice” and a “waste of time.”
Just wondering, where do they think they will find an unbiased jury pool?

–

 

So now that we’ve run out of other important stuff to argue about in this election, we have Eric Trump, who apparently got a free water glass at In-and-Out Burger, and used it to steal lemonade. His father must be so proud of those baby steps.

–

Richard Branson said Donald Trump told him years ago that five people had not helped out with a bankruptcy and he was “going to spend the rest of his life destroying these five people.” Hmm, so is Donald really running for President or “Count of Monte Cristo?”

 

That moment when you realize that no joke you could possibly write will probably trump reality – as you hear that the Donald will be giving a major policy speech Saturday at Gettysburg.

–

 

From Marc Ragovin  “Curt Schilling said that Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer cost his team by “dicking around with a drone.” In response, Schiilling’s former ESPN Baseball Tonight partner Dan Schulman said, “Oh yeah, well I spent two years droning around with a dick”

(joke, not a real quote :))

No relief?

October 21, 2016

SF  Giants bullpen has to be watching last two #NLCS #Dodgers #Cubs games & smiling “Not so easy, is it?”

–

Good thing for #Dodgers fans that #PedroBaez works so slowly most of them left to beat traffic and didn’t see top of 8th. #NLCS

 

–

#NLCSGame5, at #DodgerStadium in the 5th inning…there are several empty seats behind home plate? #WTF?

–

So by Trump logic,  since the Chicago Cubs are media darlings,  maybe the SF Giants should not accept their close NLDS games 1 and 4 losses, and show up at the World Series anyway?

 

Adrian Gonzalez before game 5 was still upset about that “out” call at the plate last night in the #NLCS. Tweeting today it was “Us against the world.” And yeah, it was a huge difference maker. Had the call be overturned the Dodgers would only have lost 10-3.

–

Although, as Bill Littlejohn says,  “Many shots of the NLCS show Larry King sitting in the background—as if the Cubs needed something else to remind them how long it’s been.”

 –

NY Giants placekicker Josh Brown got only a one-game suspension, despite increasing evidence, including a journal given to police, that he abused his now ex-wife. Well, it’s not like he did anything really awful, like missing a game-winning kick.

–

The NCAA charged coach Rick Pitino has been charged with “failure to monitor” over the escort scandal at Louisville, but the university itself was not charged with any violations. Why? Presumably because, “well, it’$ Loui$ille ba$ketball.”

–

Apparently the new policy allowing Cuban cigars and rum to be brought back to the U.S. legally includes cigars and rum purchased on other Caribbean islands. Wonder if the rule grandfathers in such items already in the U.S. #askingforafriend.

–

Antonio Cromartie’s wife says that the Colts released her husband because he took a knee during the national anthem. Got news for her, if Cromartie was playing like Josh Norman and Richard Sherman, he could go down on both knees before every game.

 

Trump’s national political director, Jim Murphy, said today “I have not resigned but for personal reasons have had to take a step back from the campaign.”
Translation, Trump threatened to sue me if I actually quit?

–

In Kansas, GOP House Speaker Pro Tem Peggy Mast was bashing Planned Parenthood, and posted a video on FB today with the comment “Great quote from Hitler in the video. Please listen to it closely. His words are profound! Let’s start using discernment.” #Wearegoingtoneedabiggerbasket

 

Shocking. Donald Trump’s best punchline of the night at Al Smith dinner still comes at woman’s expense, in this case his wife: “The media is very biased.
Michelle Obama made a speech and everyone loves it, it’s fantastic.
My wife, Melania, gives the exact same speech. And people get on her case. And I don’t get it. I don’t know why. And it wasn’t her fault.’

Nasty women unite?

October 19, 2016

 

So a close call at the plate in the Dodgers Cubs game got millions of Americans outraged before debatenight even gets started.

–

Meanwhile the debate ended up being about as close as the NLCS Game 4 final score.

–

The @Indians might just be the best baseball team America has never heard of. @ALCS

 

All these people claiming  Trump is acting like a child clearly didn’t discipline their children enough.

–

Admittedly Hillary Clinton had a huge advantage tonight.  As a  woman she’s had years of experience keeping a straight face listening to men say crazy shit.

–

A major U.S. Presidential candidate just said that he “will look at it at the time” regarding accepting the result of election. It’s about time to set up wind turbines atop the graves of our Founding Fathers.

–

 

Okay, so who’s going to be the first to make & sell #nastywoman t-shirts?

–

“Why should you vote for me for President?” Because I will accept election results & am not bat-shit crazy. Hillary  Clinton .

–

Does Trump realize that with all the Senators he has offended they might not want to confirm his Supreme Court  nominees either?

–

Trump as  sure that Hillary  got women to step forward to accuse him as he is sure Russia has had nothing to do with hacking.

–

All across America millions of people sitting back, pouring large drinks & saying “Did he REALLY say that about election?”

–

Somewhere @AlecBaldwin is getting carpal tunnel syndrome as he frantically tries to keep up taking notes for this week’s #SNL #debatenight

–

Wouldn’t we all pay big $$$ to see #Wikileaks leak what #Trump‘s staff says about him behind HIS back?

 

“Donald thinks that belittling women makes him bigger.” Line of the night #YouGoGirl #YouGoMadamePresident

–

So can we call #DonaldTrump the first true Creamsicle Presidential Candidate? Orange on the outside, really white on the inside.

–

Ohio Gov. John Kasich today: “To say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen, that’s like saying we never landed on the moon. That’s how silly it is.” Wait for Trump tomorrow to tweet that the moon landing was a hoax.

–

Condi Rice was asked in an email by CNN’s KFILE if she has a response to Donald Trump in a 2006 speech when he said “Condoleezza Rice, she’s a lovely woman, but I think she’s a bitch”
Her response: “Exactly. Can’t wait until November 9!”
Not often I say this about Rice, but #YouGoGirl.

 

In a recent poll, 60 percent of Americans supported the legalization of pot. And 20 percent more probably responded “Dude, what was that question again?”

–

Kenyan-born #MalikObama got a front-row seat to debate. So @realDonaldTrump just using another immigrant to take something from Americans.

 

–

NFL ratings are down over 11% this year. Owners are scrambling to explain it with things like the Presidential election being a distraction. And it’s possible the concussion issue is turning people off. Or maybe America has figured out there are just a lot of lousy teams.

–

Dez Bryant says he cut two fingers on his hand slicing carrots for soup. Amazing. Who knew Dez Bryant cooked?

Comes a time?

October 18, 2016

Cubs looking tonight like this may not be their century either.

 

At Dodger Stadium tonight Cubs fans were chanting “We don’t quit.” I think they meant to replace the “Qu” with an “H.”

–

#Cubs hitters looked so lost wonder if to get in sync they’ll offer to pay #SFGiants bullpen to fly in & pitch batting practice?

–

Way to grow the Major League Baseball. The ALCS with Cleveland vs. Toronto is on during the day when many are at work.  And the NLCS with the Cubs vs LA is on FS1, a channel many people, and most hotels, don’t get.

–

Saddest thing about #NLDS is that 1 inning from #SF bullpen might have kept us from a great #Dodgers #Giants series for pennant. @MLB

–

About time to put pictures of the #Cubs‘ bats on milk cartons. #NLCS

–

If Donald Trump was a baseball coach he’d have been thrown out of the game by now.

–

How statesmanlike of him: John McCain “”I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up.”

–

Scary Trump tweet of the morning. “41% of American voters believe the election could be “stolen” from DonaldTrump due to widespread voter fraud. – Politico”
What’s scariest is that Trump’s antics have convinced enough people that the tweet is accurate.

–

So Donald Trump is bringing President Obama’s half-brother Malik to tomorrow’s debate. Malik, 58, while still a U.S.citizen, is a Muslim who lives mostly in Kenya, has been accused of domestic violence, and has at least 3 current wives, the last who he married in 2011 when she was a teenager. Just the kind of man the Donald thinks we need more of in this country….

 

Bill Clinton’s accusers, Barack Obama’s half-brother…. who’s next for @realDonaldTrump to bring to debates. Anyone seen Tipper Gore lately?

 

–

Curt Schilling, upset at comparisons to his bloody sock game “Please don’t tweet at me about Bauer.He cost himself a start, likely more, AND his teammates, and fans, dicking around with a drone. #stupid”

Of course there’s no comparison. Nor is there any comparison to costing the state of Rhode Island $50 million by “dicking around” with a video game company. #38Studios #stupid

–

 

For all those comedy writers worried about going through withdrawal for material after November 8; Curt Schilling announced today on Twitter he is going to run for the Senate in 2018 against Elizabeth Warren. #passthepopcorn

–

If #CurtSchilling runs for Senate in Massachusetts, how long until #ElizabethWarren  tells him to put a bloody sock in it?

–

Now Wikileaks’ Julian Assange is claiming that John Kerry cut off his internet at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. And Kerry is thinking, if we had that power don’t you think we would have done it a long time ago?

–

Actually it turns out Ecuador temporarily restricted Julian Assange’s internet access at their embassy. Might have been easier just to switch him to Windows 2000

–

So tired of “urgent” fundraising emails  ” Like this one “don’t abandon Hillary, please when she needs us most” (before the last debate.)
Right about now what Hillary really needs is for Donald just to keep talking.

–

Marc Ragovin “Melania says Donald should be excused for his crass remarks about women because he was egged on by Billy Bush. Hey, if you can get outwitted by Billy Bush, you iz too dumb to be president.”

Forever young at heart?

October 17, 2016

The Nobel Prize committee says that five days after they awarded the Prize for literature to Bob Dylan, they have not yet heard from their newest laureate. Or maybe Dylan has responded and they had no idea what who he was or what he was saying?

–

The #Big12 today decided not to expand & will stay at 10 members. Why should conference confuse players with a tough concept like math?

–

Some references today to #ColinKaepernick being a “distraction” for @49ers. Because without him they would only have lost by 20 points?

–

Trevor Bauer, who cut himself repairing one of his drones,  was not allowed to wear even as much as a Band-Aid on his finger tonight while pitching. The stitches broke, resulting in Bauer having to leave, dripping blood, in the first inning.    Cleveland used a total of 7 pitchers, and kept the Blue Jays to 2 runs.

–

 

And that, #SFGiants fans, ladies and gentlemen, is a bullpen. #Indians #ALCS

–

Wonder many MLB teams are rushing to add “no drones during the season” into their contract  language..

–

The Los Angeles Dodgers apparently stayed at the Trump hotel in Chicago for their regular season series against the Cubs in May. But Adrian Gonalez, who is of Mexican descent, refused, saying  “I had my reasons.”

Darn, another Dodger I can’t root against.

 

–

Anyone but me really tired of pumpkin flavored everything?

 

Fox News’ Shep Smith has come out as gay. Shocking millions of Americans who thought he was already out.

 

At a Donald Trump rally in Wisconsin tonight the crowd started chanting “Paul Ryan sucks!” So is this how the Donald would propose to start his State of the Union speech?

–

Melania Trump said that Donald really didn’t mean the things he said to Billy Bush, but that Bush had “egged him on.” Well it’s a good thing that Putin, or Congress, would never egg Trump on while in office.

As an anonymous friend said ““My husband can’t throw footballs and grab pussies at the same time!”

–

Donald Trump  said #SNL should be cancelled & was “unfunny.” Uh, if unfunny on occasion was reason enough, SNL would have been cancelled years ago.

–

Women who have come forward about #Trump‘s groping them can take comfort, he didn’t mean it, he was just trying to impress #BillyBush.

Going long

October 16, 2016

Today Drew Brees threw for 465 YDS & 4 TD, and the @Saints barely won. Rumor has it there is part of an NFL game you can play called “defense.”

–

Latest college football rankings, #Pac12 has exactly 2 teams in the top 25. Traditional powers Washington and.. Utah?

–

#LARams have got to be lying awake at night wondering how they ever lost to this #49ers team. #SFvsBUF

–

#RudyGuiliani today said he “would have to be a moron to say” that the election “is going to be fair.” And his point is?

 

Lots of verbal attacks on #ColinKaerpernick in Buffalo today. Silly Bills fans. Did they realize that Kap & the 49ers might have provided the best home game entertainment they’ll see all year?. Next visitors – the Patriots.

 

Hard to be an #SFGiants fan watching Puig against Chapman.  No way to root for them both to fail.

–

Altamonte Springs, my high-school home town: A woman was arrested this week after posting video online of her son driving her car – the boy is 7 years old. Back on your game, Florida.

–

Never thought I’d say anything positive about Sarah Palin. But at least she had a sense of humor. Trump tweet of the day “Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!”

–

Whatever happens in election suppose both @HillaryClinton & @realDonaldTrump can both take credit for helping to resurrect #SNL

 

Trump is insisting that he has lost “large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED.” But those “wonderful” and “courageous” women speaking out about Bill Clinton – their stories are 100% true….

–

Apparently someone threw a bottle of flammable liquid through the window of a GOP office in North Carolina. And Trump tweeted “Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning.”
Now, Hillary decried the act, but I guess I’m missing something – if Trump’s followers are violent it’s a righteous rage, but if it’s his opponents they are animals?

–

This is actually really scary, according to a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. “Only about one-third of Republicans said they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that votes on Election Day will be counted fairly.”
But has it occurred to Trump that if Hillary really could rig an election, she’d have done it starting with the 2008 Democratic primaries?

 

As Trump talks about the election ” absolutely being rigged,” including at many polling placs, have to ask…. has the Donald actually BEEN to a polling place? Last time before I gave up and decided to vote by mail, the average poll workers were “mature” to say the least, and having a hard time just matching voters to their lists. Not exactly the folks you’d enlist in a complicated conspiracy.

 

This morning on “Meet the Press” Mike Pence ” We will absolutely accept the result of the election.” So with all the people Trump has attacked on Twitter, how long until he adds his running mate to the list?

The not-quite-put-up-a-fight-ing Irish?

October 15, 2016

If Stanford could have just kept their defense on the field the whole time they might have beaten Notre Dame more decisively.

–

Admittedly I’m an #NL fan, but #AL fans claim they love the DH because it results in so much more offense. Uh, #ALCS, #Notexactly

–

Watching the Dodgers and Cubs in NLCS.  Nice I suppose to see that the SF Giants don’t have a monopoly on bullpen meltdowns.

–

 

Kylie Jenner to Complex.com, “I’ve been famous for what feels like my whole life. I just want to know what it feels like not to be.”
Uh, for starters #deleteyouraccount?

–

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones, recalled over a month ago, have now basically been banned from all aircraft. But okay, if you’re smart enough to handle a smartphone how are you stupid enough still to have a Galaxy Note 7?

–

Donald Trump has called for drug tests before the next debate, saying that he believes Hillary must be on PEDs to get her “pumped up.” Well, actually, most Americans would love to know what the Donald might be on.

–

All Trump casinos are now closed. Which means you can’t even go to one to place a bet on the final number of women who will come forward to accuse the Donald of sexual assault.

 

#BillyBush is donating $10 million NBC severance package to women’s charities. Good to know SOMEONE has evolved since that #Trump interview.

–

If elections and media were really as rigged as @realDonaldTrump says, does he think he’d have gotten anywhere near nomination?

–

Trump’s tweet “Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!”
And then will the Donald invite Bill Clinton’s accusers back to the next debate

–

–

Wow. Wikikeaks transcripts from Hillary Clintons’s speeches to Goldman Sachs indicate she didn’t directly blame Wall Street for the 2008 financial meltdown. In related news did the leaks also say water is wet?

–

Okay, this just released leaked Goldman Sachs from Hillary Clinton should get 100% bipartisan applause: “Look, I am of the mind that we cannot have endless campaigns “It is bad for the candidates. It’s bad for the country. I mean, part of the reason why it’s difficult to govern is because an election ends and then the next day people start jockeying.

–

Even if ALL Bill Clinton’s accusers were telling the truth and all Trump’s accusers were lying, which I don’t believe, Donald Trump has said and done enough to show he should never be allowed closer to the White House than his new D.C. hotel. Period.

The heart of Rock and Roll?

October 14, 2016

Still beating, in Cleveland?

 

Cleveland Cavaliers are champions.. Indians looking good. But God telling Browns fans –  “Sorry, above my pay grade.”

–

For SF Giants fans going through withdrawal, Blue Jays had  a RISP in each of 1st 4 innings, without scoring. #seenthisscriptbefore

 

–

Cleveland pitcher Trevor Bauer had his Game 2 ALCS start pushed back to Game 3 because he cut his pinkie finger repairing a propeller on one of his drones.
SF Giants fans are thinking “Has he been hanging out with Jeremy Affeldt?”

–

New potential slogan for #Blackberry: Our phones may be outdated but at least they don’t blow up?

–

Curt Schilling, defending Donald Trump’s comment about the 10-year-old girl – “If intimating a young lady will grow up to be stunningly beautiful = child molestation you’re liberal and voting for a scumbag.”
Uh, Curt, that’s not what Trump said. He said “Can you believe I’m going to be dating her in 10 years.” Put a bloody sock in it.

–

United Airlines computer glitches last night cancelled some flights and delayed others for hours. Who needs hackers when you have aging technology and incompetence?

–

Go figure: A roundtrip ticket San Francisco to Denver on United is 219.20. Extra legroom seats add $159.00. How long until people start just booking a second seat?

–

#Obama has lifted restrictions on bringing #Cuban cigars & rum back into US. Who says there’s no bipartisan agreement anymore?

–

 

Fox’s Lou Dobbs has apologized after claiming Jessica Leeds, one of the women accusing Trump of groping her, had the same phone number as the Clinton Foundation, and then tweeting her phone number and address to his almost 800,00 followers.
If MSNBC had tweeted the address and phone number of a Trump supporter, the GOP would be calling for a Congressional investigation.

–

Now Donald Trump has insulted a Kardashian, Khloe, calling her a “fat piglet.” Pass the popcorn & make it a large.

–

Ben Carson, still defending Trump, said today on Morning Joke, that before nations topple, they “take their eye off the ball, start engaging in things that really don’t matter that much — not that sexual language and abuse is not important, but when you’re talking about the train going off the cliff you really need to deal with that first.”

Well, unless of course you’re talking about the husband of the Democrat nominee, then those things are critical.

–

Got it, so all Trump’s accusers are liars, all Bill Clinton’s accusers are saints. Especially as  Bill was caught bragging on tape… Wait. never mind

–

Trump today on Hillary Clinton “The other day I’m standing at my podium and she walks in front of me, right? She walks in front of me and when she walked in front of me. Believe me, I wasn’t impressed.”
So let’s see, Hillary is qualified to be leader of the free world, but not attractive enough for him to hit on?

 

–

With the tone of this election President Obama @POTUS is likely to be the most popular President EVER on day before January’s inaugural.

 

 

Who knew that @realDonaldTrump was probably looking at #BillCosby and thinking “amateur.”

The times they are a changin’

October 13, 2016

I missed it, when did “pressure” in baseball become a “high-leverage” situation? #DodgersvsNats #NLDS #MLBPlayoffs

–

Congrats to Bob Dylan. Who knew, for all the Nobel Prize winning literature I had to read in college, I was actually voluntarily listening to it in my dorm room.

 

With Cleveland in the ALCS the talk has begun again but them needing to change their mascot name as being denigrating to Indians.   But while we’re at it, is the SF Giants name somehow indicative of a bias against more vertically-challenged people?

–

The Nationals had said Stephen Strasburg, who missed the NLDS, would not be ready to return if Washington made it into the NLCS. So this is one of the postseasons they shut him down for in 2012?

–

Love #DustyBaker but as #SFGiants fan still get knot in stomach watching him manage late innings bullpen. #DodgersvsNats

–

When Dusty Baker moved to his fifth pitcher in an inning, SFGiants fans were thinking , “we’ve have seen this script before, and it wasn’t a good one.

 

4 1/2 hours  and it didn’t even go extras. Even #RedSox & #Yankees are thinking this is a LONG game. #NLDSGame5 #DodgersvsNats

–

Congrats to  the Dodgers.But maybe Daniel Murphy’s infield fly with the winning run on base is God’s way of saying He/She is okay with the  “gay lifestyle.”

 

Slam magazine rated Carmelo Anthony the 15th-best player in the NBA. Melo said it was “disrespectful.” Maybe to the people ranked 16 through 30?

–

We interrupt the snark for a NICE off-field NFL story: Eagles QB Carson Wentz, 23, who played at North Dakota State, went back during Philly’s bye week to a local bar in Fargo, ran up a $1,000 tab with friends, and left a $500 tip.

–

At this point no way of knowing which recently leaked emails involving Hillary are real and which are fake. But okay folks, how many of us really want our friends, family, coworkers etc to know everything we’ve ever said about them in “private”?

–

Chris Christie has been given a criminal summons to appear at a Bridgegate hearing later this month. Maybe Trump should have chosen the NJ governor as a running mate. Would distract attention now from some of these tapes, etc.

–

Michele Bachmann says that Hillary  Clinton has an “anti-biblical” agenda. As opposed to  Donald Trump “Grope forth and multiply?

–

 

–

Rush Limbaugh, railing about the “Donald Trump sex-talk scandal” “If the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation, then here come the rape police.”
Uh, yeah… and his point is?

 

Just imagine if one of #BillClinton‘s accusers also said she was treated inappropriately by #DonaldTrump

–

Donald Trump’s response to a People Magazine reporter who said he had attacked her “Take a look, you take a look, look at her, look at her words — you tell me what you think. I don’t think so.”
Okay, time to open the pool on the gender gap in this years election? About 50 points seems a good start….

–

Interesting, got a travel agent survey asking if I am more or less likely to recommend Trump properties since he became a candidate, if my clients are more or less likely to ask for Trump properties, if clients have refused to stay in a Trump property…… and if any of this has changed since the “Access Hollywood” tapes….
If this was campaign was a build-a-brand exercise for the Donald, it’s not working.

–

 

The NY Times, in response to a demand by Trump to retract its groping story or be sued “We decline to do so.” And then “the essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one’s reputation…. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.”

Stages of grief?

October 12, 2016

So denial, then anger. Is the bargaining phase when we start rooting for #DustyBaker at least to get a ring? @SFGiants

 

What time is the game on tomorrow? Oh wait…. Yeah, baseball is designed to break your heart. #MLB #SFGiants

–

So in looking on bright side as #SFGiants fan, if #BlueJays make it to #WorldSeries we might get to watch #JustinTrudeau attend games.

–

#SFGiants going into late innings with 5 runs and a big lead does not appear to be a winning strategy. #NLDSGame4 #WorldSeries2002

–

Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres have fired their President after the team missed the postseason for the 10th straight year. So wonder who the next interim president will be.

–

Lebron James “In our locker room, they talk about sports highlights from the previous night, family and game strategy. what that guy was saying, that’s not — I don’t know what that is. That’s trash talk.”
It’s getting harder and harder to dislike King James.

–

The NFL is now penalizing players using Saints WR Brandin Cooks bow-and-arrow touchdown celebration, which he has always said was a sign of his faith in God. They say the gesture “mimics a violent act.”
A football league. “A violent act.”  And they said it with a straight face.

–

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump campaign manager KellyAnne Conway told GOP leaders who may be wavering in their support: “Enough of the pussyfooting around”
So was that supposed to be an attention grabbing comment?

–

The SF Chronicle reported that earlier this month Alaska AIrlines removed a passenger who was harassing a female flight attendant, saying things like “oooh, sexy,” during the safety demonstration. So did the guy think he was in a locker room or something?.

 

So I assume Russian hackers are only leaking emails from Democrats because Republicans never have said anything untoward in an email?

 

At a Florida rally, Donald Trump’s response after a woman fainted: “That woman was out cold, and now she’s coming back! We don’t go by these new – and very much softer – NFL rules. Concussions ‘Oh, you’ve got a little ding on the head. No, no, you can’t play for the rest of the season.’ Our people are tough.”
So let’s add NFL players and others who have suffered serious brain injuries to the list of people the Donald has taunted. Who had October 12 in the pool?

(My friend Linda points out, but if Hillary faints, she’s unfit for the Presidency.”)

 

Less than noble stuff in latest #wikileaks #PodestaEmails.  But I’m sure most of us never say or email anything we wouldn’t want on front page

 

Even #BIllCosby has to be looking at #Trump & saying “Are you kidding me?”

 

This Donald Trump sexual assault issue is rapidly becoming another “He said, she said, she said, she said, she said, story.:”

And no doubt the Trump campaign’s response will be to dredge up more allegations against Bill Clinton. When this election is over most of America will be ready for a good hot long shower….

From Marc Ragovin:  “Melania Trump announced today that Donald will no longer be in charge of assembling the grab bags for their son Baron’s upcoming birthday party”

What’s too painful to remember….

October 12, 2016

Pitch counts suck. That is all #SFGiants

 

Lost in the shock of tonight’s loss was fact that #SFGiants bullpen hadn’t blown a 9th inning lead since last night.

–

Fox announcers seemed shocked that Matt Moore was hitting in the 6th. They clearly have not watched SF Giants 2nd half bullpen.

–

He’s owed $20 million for 2017 and can get through a lineup- once. Too soon to restart the #CainforCloser movement? @SFGiants

–

 

Looked for #MickeyLolich‘s pitch counts in 1968 #WorldSeries w/ his 3 complete games. Couldn’t find them. #wedontneednostinkingpitchcounts

–

So will the #Cubs join the #Dodgers in voting a playoff share to the #SFGiants bullpen?

–

At least SF Giants fans can be REALLY thankful in retrospect that #BruceBochy didn’t pull #Madbum in 9th of Game 7 of the 2014 #WorldSeries #SFGiants

–

Reports from NBC indicate Billy Bush has been fired at the ‘Today’ show. Who’d a thunk that the network would have higher standards than the GOP?

–

USA Today reports that a 21 year old New Mexico woman died while ‘car surfing,” the 7th such fatality this year. Amazingly, only one of those deaths was in Florida #Darwinwouldbesoproud. #ifonlytheywerearmed

–

At Trump’s campaign rally in Ambridge, PA, he started out praising Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Well of course he did. #sexualassautlersofafeather

–

Trump on twitter “With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans!”
Uh, I guess the Donald hasn’t really been following politics much over the last couple decades.

 

Eric Trump, yesterday confirming his father’s assertion that it was just “locker room banter”: “I think sometimes when guys are together they get carried away, and sometimes that’s what happens when alpha personalities are in the same presence.”
Yep, once again, the snake has not slithered very far from the tree.

–

Even the Onion wouldn’t have gone this far: “It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity.
If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice.
If she is elected, the world does not end…”
The writer? Glenn Beck..

–

Chris Christie said today “at this point” he is still supporting Donald Trump. Translation, he’s waiting for the next tape.

–

Despite calls to withdraw, @realDonaldTrump says he’s staying in race. Many people are saying it’s right choice, espec. Democrats. #beatable

 

 

Some people seem upset by the 49ers’ decision to play Colin Kaepernick over his political protests. So would they have been more forgiving if he had done something more manly and American like failed a drug test or got himself arrested?

Still beliEVEN

October 11, 2016

walkoff

At least 30,000 fans left at ATT Park at end of game, including kids. Going to be more than a few folks calling in sick today #SFGiants

–

Listening to highlights on the radio and thinking, wasn’t #NLDSGame3 at least 2 games? #SFGiants #Cubs

–

A couple rough calls against the #SFGiants tonight.  To be fair to #MLB today they found out  the American League will be represented in World Series  by either of those media darlings the Indians or Blue Jays.

–

So the Yankees decided if they couldn’t beat the Red Sox they would trade Andrew Miller to the team who could?

–

#SFGiants #zombiesneverdie. “@ESPNStatsInfo: Giants: 10 straight elimination game wins (longest streak in MLB history) (via @eliassports)”

–

So after being taken out was #MadBum wandering around  San Francisco looking to lasso a billy goat? #SFGiants #Cubs

 

 –

Phrase we didn’t expect #SFGiants fans to be saying in October. “At least Gilllaspie is up this inning.”

–

SF coach Chip Kelly says that Colin Karpernick’s injury guarantee, which would require the team to pay him $14.5 million if he gets hurt, has no bearing on him not putting the QB in games.
And if he actually believes that, Kelly should stop in Brooklyn on the way to this week’s 49ers game in Buffalo, there’s a bridge for him to buy.

–

Tiger Woods announced he would play in this weekend’s Safeway Open, and then the next day changed his mind. . That was one of Tiger’s fastest withdrawals ever, well, not involving a waitress.

–

In Petaluma, CA, a man trying to make sure his gun was empty before he left the house accidentally discharged it. The bullet critically injured his 11-month-old baby, but she is expected to survive. #ifonlythebabywasarmed.

–

The Trump Taj Mahal closed its doors this morning. Wonder how much of a tax write-off that property ended up being for @realDonaldTrump

–

So what’s in the Clinton emails we haven’t seen is absolutely grounds for her being in jail, but what’s in Trump’s tax returns we haven’t seen is just stuff we wouldn’t understand anyway. Got it.

–

He seems nice. Scott Baio on Trump: “And ladies out there, this is what guys talk about when you’re not around. So if you’re offended by it, grow up. And by the way, this is what you guys talk about over white wine when you have your brunches, so take it easy with your phony outrage.”
Yeah, when I drink with my friends we always talk about grabbing guys by their crotch etc….

–

Sen. Jeff Session of Alabama, who was on the short list for VP, said last night that even if Trump had “grabbed a woman by the pussy.” “I don’t characterize that as sexual assault.”
Am sure parents of daughters in Alabama are just thrilled to hear that. Does Sessions remember that his is an open carry state?

–

All that talk with Billy Bush was “locker room banter,” and now KellyAnne Conway says “you’d be in jail” was just a quip. So if Trump actually were to be elected, is he going to have a special “just kidding” sign to use with other world leaders?

–

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway “I would talk to some of the members of Congress out there.When I was younger and prettier, them rubbing up against girls, sticking their tongues down women’s throats…uninvited, who didn’t like it. And some of them, by the way, are on the list of people who won’t support Donald Trump ’cause they all ride around on a high horse.”
Okay then, but because Bill Clinton is accused of stuff like that his WIFE should not be elected President?
