Lots of fans in blue in bleachers tonight at #ATTPark. Can’t be real #Dodgers fans though, they were there in first inning. SFGiants

–

The Dodgers fan group actually brought a large LA banner they’ve been displaying out in center-field. Seems to have inspired Giants offense.

–

Don’t recognize this 2017 SF Giants team lately. Many of them including Bochy have been actually smiling.

–

#A‘s put out an upper-deck seat deal $19.99 for all games in a MONTH.    If #SFGiants hadn’t started playing better they might’ve have had to pay more.

–

Lane Kiffin offered a scholarship to Kaden Martin, son of USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin. Kaden is 13 years old. Shocking. Nick Saban didn’t get to him first?

–

Some controversy this morning because Kris Jenner posted a Mother’s Day picture of her entire family but included her late husband Robert and air-brushed or deleted Bruce-Caitlyn out. Ah for the days that the Kardashians were the most outrageous regular stories on social media.

Can argue whether or not the  Zaza play that took out Leonard was dirty, and whther or not if Spurs would win even 1 more game regardless, but to hear that Warriors would have made up that  23 point mid-third quarter deficit even with  Kawhi in the game?  WTF?

Have to figure a lot of folks hope @Spurs win at least a couple games vs @Warriors just to hear Popovich keep talking about Trump.

–

Some complaining that ABC canceled TimAllen’s comedy “Last Man Standing” not because of the show’s ratings drop last season, but because Tim Allen is a Republican.
Uh, does ANYONE in this country seriously think the networks these days would cancel ANY show with good ratings? #followthemoney

“At long last have you left no sense of decency? Guess we know the answer to that question for some in GOP:
Idaho Sen. James Risch, defending Trump on alleged leak of highly classified information to Russia :”The minute the President speaks about it to someone, he has the ability to declassify anything at any time without any process.”

The latest Trump-Russia story on leaking intelligence almost makes the Valerie Plame story seem quaint.

Hackers reportedly are claiming access to an unreleased Disney movie and are promising to release it in sections if they don’t get paid ransom. Might have been more lucrative had they first hacked “King Arthur – Legend of the Sword” and tried to get Warner Bros to pay them to destroy it.

At what point does FBI or U.S. intelligence set a canary trap for Trump?

–

Right about now figure Trump really has to be tempted to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue. He’s gotten away with everything else.

With a win today, SF Giants have climbed out of NLWest cellar. #smallmercies #onegameatatime

–

So who picked Zaza Pachulia to be the Warriors MVP in game 1?

–

Happy I guess for Warriors fan friends. But calling it gritty comeback vs Spurs does miss point by a foot. Or rather an ankle.

–

Just guessing if Zaza had any plans to tour the Alamo on vacation he might want to wait a little while.

Lebron was a Hillary supporter, Steve Kerr has made it clear he isn’t fond of our President.  And then there was Popovich today pre-game, asked if he ever gets distracted from the game by concern for the world ”

“Absolutely.  It’s interesting that you would ask that, because usually things happen in the world and you go to work and you’ve got your family and you’ve got your friends and you do what you do, but to this day, I feel like there’s a cloud, a pall over the whole country in a paranoid, surreal sort of way.

“It has nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election,   It’s got to do with the way one individual conducts himself. And that’s embarrassing, it’s dangerous to our institutions and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be. But for this individual, he’s in a game show, and everything that happens begins and ends with him, not our people and our country. Every time he talks about those things, that’s just a ruse. That’s just disingenuous, cynical and fake.”

–

Thinking with last playoff teams standing, likely to be a very good chance NBA champions’ visit to White House not happening this year

–

No tweets from @realDonaldTrump on #SNL last night. For #MothersDay did Ivanka tell her kids to grab & hide grandad’s cellphone?

–

GOP might want #MerrickGarland as #FBIDirector? #WTF? Presume just so they can slam Russia investigation as a Democratic witch hunt.

(though other friends point out this also takes Garland off his lifetime appointment on the court of appeals.)

–

Does it really matter if @realDonaldTrump taped conversations. “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying ears?”

Paul Ryan posted a “Happy Mother’s Day” message, with a picture of his mom and saying ” To all moms who do whatever it takes”    He might have added  ‘And because moms have superpowers, I’m going to see how they make it work without healthcare for maternity and pre-existing conditions.
