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….

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?
