Moving out

October 3, 2016

The Atlanta Braves played their last game at Turner Field yesterday. Next year they will have a beautiful new stadium in the suburbs for fans not to show up to.

–

The home-plate umpire for Wednesdays Giants-Mets wild-card game is Mike Winters. SF fans might remember Winters as the ump who ejected Bruce Bochy in consecutive games last season.
East Coast bias conspiracy theories in 3….2…1…..

–

SF 49ers announced today that LB NaVorro Bowman injured his Achilles and will be out for the season. Is it too soon to be thinking about that #1 draft pick?

 

So @Vikings who’ve lost #TeddyBridgewater & #AdrianPeterson are 4-0. A few more injuries & they could be Super Bowl contenders? #NYGvsMIN

–

#VinScully may have been a #Dodgers announcer but he knows his #SFGiants. Yesterday Vin said of @hunterpence “He would make coffee nervous.”

–

#JohnnyManziel has filed to extend the trademark on “Johnny Football.” Can you trademark an oxymoron?

–

Trump’s campaign so far is turning us all into a nation with temporary ADD…. No sooner do we start focusing on one unbelievable statement than he says something else and we forget how ludicrous the last one was.

–

So we can argue over whether or not either Trump or Clinton truly believe they have the U.S.’s best interests at heart. But pretty damn sure Julian Assange doesn’t.

–

#NobelPrize winners will be announced this week. Wonder which one Donald Trump expects to get?

–

A Bloomberg poll shows Trump trailing but +13 with whites. If true this election is not doing much for the theory of white supremacy.

–

Donald Trump, speaking to veterans today “When people come back from war and combat, and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over, and you’re strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can’t handle it.”
So strong people don’t get PTSD the same as only losers get captured? WTF?

Maybe @realDonaldTrump didn’t mean to imply that strong vets don’t get PTSD, but how do you know? ” This is the guy who said about John McCain  “I like people that weren’t captured”

Everyone should have the genius to lose a billion dollars in a year so they can avoid taxes for the next decades. #TrumpFinancialTips.

As much of a Dodgers-Giant lovefest as you can get…

Thanks, Vin.

But then… Sweep LA

Three #ALEast teams make #MLB postseason and none of them are #Yankees. No punchline, I just like writing it. #Orioles #RedSox #Bluejays

 

You’d think Jamie Moyer would have been in attendance at #SFGiants #Dodgers game. As only recent player who was active when #VinScully started.

–

Amusing exercise for the day, list the MLB teams that weren’t even in existence when Vin Scully started broadcasting: For starters – Twins, Rangers, Mets, Rockies, Dbacks, Astros, Blue Jays, Marlins, Rays, Expos, Nats…

 

The #Saints won in large part because of great 4th quarter by their DEFENSE?! Hope this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse. #GeauxSaints

ESPN reports that Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant “continues to demonstrate a pattern of irresponsible behavior by being late to or missing medical treatments and team meetings,” at least 7-8 times this year.
Only the little people go to treatments and meetings?

 

Barbara Bush, daughter of George W, and granddaughter of George H.W. Bush, was seen at a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton this weekend. Sort of confirms your faith in evolution.

–

A new book claims that Bill Clinton wanted to build a pool at the top of his Presidential Library so “he could have naked pool parties like JFK.” Right. But okay, honestly, how many American men would turn down the chance to “have naked pool parties like JFK?”

–

So after the report that Donald Trump may not have paid any federal taxes in almost 20 years, Rudy Giuliani said “He’s a genius.” And Chris Christie “There’s no one who’s shown more genius in their way to maneuver around the tax code.”
Funny how I’ve never heard them praise poor and middle-class folks who figure out how to game the system.

–

But got it… @realDonaldTrump is a genius for not paying taxes and @HillaryClinton is corrupt for getting paid $600k a speech. #doublestandard

Rudy Giuliani while attacking Hillary Clinton this morning was challenged by Chuck Todd “You have your own infidelity charge” Rudy’s response – “Well, everybody does. And I’m a Roman Catholic, and I confess those things.” Not sure about Jesus weeping but the Pope might be.

 

 

Kim Kardashian is unharmed after apparently being held up by armed robbers in her Paris hotel room tonight. Hmm…. suppose it would be too farfetched a conspiracy theory to say this was engineered by Trump supporters to distract attention from his tax returns?
