No mound exit.

October 6, 2016

You do have to wonder how many shut out innings Madison Bumgarner was planning on pitching last night #SFGiants

–

Although, as the legend grows, Bumgarner reportedly to Gillaspie after 3-run home run top of 9th ” Conor, I appreciate the hell out of that.” #SFGiants

 

Nice tweet today   “Baseball has a way of ripping your ❤️ out, stabbing it, putting it back in your chest, then healing itself just in time for Spring Training.”

The tweeter?   Noah Syndergaard.

–

So are the ALDS teams even playing the same sport as the #Mets & #SFGiants played last night? #TORvsTEX #BOSvsCLE #notexactlypitchersduels

President Obama’s approval rating is up to 55%, the highest in his second term. No doubt because the longer this election season goes on, the more many Americans have decided they don’t want him to leave.

–

 

Waiting for #Trump to say if he were President he’d have a beautiful wall to protect USA from #HurricaneMatthew & Mexico would pay for it.

 

Florida Governor Rick Scott, reiterating an evacuation call for the state: ‘Do not surf. Do not go on the beach. This will kill you.”
He could also add “Beachgoers and surfers will automatically qualify for a Darwin award.”

–

Apparently a number of people are planning to stay put and try to ride #HurricaneMatthew out. On the brighter side for humanity, not only are they probable Darwin winners, these folks probably won’t be around to vote. #cantfixstupid

–

Although it’s from October 30, 2012, this tweet is real, from Donald Trump “Hurricane is good luck for Obama again- he will buy the election by handing out billions of dollars.”

Rush Limbaugh said this week of Hurricane Matthew predictions that the National Weather service, which is “part of the Obama administration.. might be playing games because it’s in the interests of the left to have destructive hurricanes because then they can blame it on climate change, which they can continue desperately continue trying to sell.”

Who says he doesn’t care about average Americans? Donald Trump at a rally today:. “I don’t care how sick you are. I don’t care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning it’s over, you won’t be around in two weeks. Doesn’t matter. Hang out till November 8th. Get out and vote.”

–

Ok, for those who didn’t think #HurricaneMatthew was serious. The #SEC has actually cancelled the LSU Florida football game.

 

During a parliamentary debate in Noraway, Prime Minister Erna Solberg was reportedly seen on camera using her phone to play Pokemon Go. Well, it’s at least as productive as trying to repeal Obamacare for the 57th time.

We are not worthy

October 6, 2016

Poetry has been called “Emotion recollected in tranquility.”   And tonight the SF Giants, especially Madison Bumgarner and Conor Gillaspie proved a great baseball game is poetry.

Even as a little kid, I liked baseball. But I can trace the moment when I really fell in love for life to 1968, when my favorite pitcher, who had won WS games 2 & 5, pitched a improbable complete game to win game 7. #MickeyLolich #MadisonBumgarner #Leftiesrule #SFGiants

 

Pitcher who threw 1st pitch for #SFGiants in do-or-die game walked off mound having thrown last pitch of game. #oldschool #Madbum #WildCard

–

And for fans outside the San Francisco Bay Area – Conor Gillaspie?  Who?  Yeah. The man at third base who replaced Nunez who replaced the beloved Matt Duffy and his awesome cat Skeeter.  Buy this man a kitten.  A big one.

 

–

Heck of a #NLWildCard game. Good thing we didn’t have a scintillating #VPDebate to distract us from it. #SFGiants #NYMets

–

Not a pleasant side story at Toronto’s Rogers Centre to last night’s Blue Jays win, as Orioles’ LF Hyun Soo Kim had a beer thrown at him. This would never have happened had NY made the playoffs and the game been at Yankee Stadium. Beer there is much too expensive to throw at opposing players.

–

While #BuckShowalter knows he made mistake, he can take comfort knowing #ZackBritton can now pitch multiple innings in game 2. ALWildCard

A British study found that family travel may not be that relaxing, as the combination of new places and dealing with new people can take up a lot of “brain power” and leave everyone exhausted.
So maybe it’s not such a bad thing for Dad to turn that car around and go home.

–

A Utah man posted a picture of the hospital bill for his baby’s delivery, which included a $39.95 fee for “skin to skin”, getting to hold the baby it was born. The hospital was no doubt appalled, thinking the fee should have been at least twice that.

 

A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploded during boarding of a Southwest flight at Louisville yesterday. Maybe Blackberry needs a new slogan, “Our phones are old but they don’t blow up.”

Al Gore is going to campaign this week for Hillary Clinton. And things were going so well.

Nice blue tie last night, Gov. Pence.   “It wasn’t blue It was red.” #VPDebate

–

#TimKaine “My running mate should be President. #MikePence “I have a running mate?” #VPDebate

 

 

An interesting story from earlier this year on Mike Pence reported by the IndyStar – The Governor in 2015 had plans to start “a state-run taxpayer-funded news outlet that would make pre-written news stories available to Indiana media, as well as sometimes break news about his administration.” He dropped the plan after it was ridiculed with names like “Pravda on the Plains.”
Maybe THIS is why Trump really chose him as a potential V.P?

–

Well, that didn’t take long. Now Trump on Mike Pence’s debate performance: “I’m getting a lot of credit because that’s really my first so-called choice, my first hire as we would say in Las Vegas.” Uh, has the Donald forgotten all the campaign staff he has hired, and fired?

–

Trump’s tweet last night “The constant interruptions last night by Tim Kaine should not have been allowed. ”
Of course Mike Pence should have been able to interrupt more. Because he is the bestest, greatest running mate of all time.
