Blue Jays trailed Angels 10-4 going to the bottom of the 9th. And Toronto won, with a 7 run come-back on an walk-off grand slam,  11-10.

Buster Olney notes #SFGiants have been outhomered 117-81 in 2017. Giants fans following team regularly are shocked- they have 81 home runs?

Nine injured, one critically in LA when a van hit a crowd of people eating outside at a restaurant. Apparently  it was an accident..  And the driver wasn’t Muslim. Nothing to see here, move along.   Until we check that  driver’s immigrant status.

Susan Collins-  VP Mike  Pence during Obamacare repeal vote “Boy, are you tough.”  Then she added “But he softened that by putting his arm around me.”

Re that last comment – does his wife know?

Mike Huckabee says he would have given Scaramucci “breakfast that would have included two bars of soap followed by strong coffee for some of the language he used.”
So how many bars of soap is he telling his daughter to give her boss?

As GOP semi-moderates in Congress weigh risks of “country over party” in challenging Trump, time to think of 3 words -veto proof majority.

Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney- The President fired Priebus as he “wants a little bit more discipline.” Like when Madonna told her teenager her clothes were too skimpy? .

Alabama DE Da’Shawn Hand was arrested for alleged DUI last night. The Tide open Sept. 2 against Florida State. But I’m sure Nick Saban will send a strong message by suspending Hand for the first quarter of the Sept. 9 Fresno State game.

Open note to @ESPN. I do not f*cking care what Lavar Ball thinks of anything. That is all.

Pitcher David Price, who mocked and swore at fill-in broadcaster Dennis Eckersley on the team plane last month, now says he could have handled things “probably a different way,” But then added a message to Eck – “just show your face,’ claiming he isn’t in the clubhouse much.
Well, Eckersley is at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies this weekend.
Must make Red Sox fans long for the tranquil days of fried chicken and beer.

Apparently plenty of expensive seats are still available for the Mayweather-McGregor fight next month. So maybe you can go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public?

Open note to @IvankaTrump When observing Shabbat, maybe one Friday night you could take dad’s phone with you? Asking for a tired country.

Plenty of angry tweets today from @realDonaldTrump. Suppose it’s just coincidence that rain in DC is probably keeping him off golf course.

As Trump attacks the Senate in his latest tweet storm, he does remember they vote on all his Cabinet picks, right?

Kellyanne Conway – “Loose Lips Sink Ships.” As her boss keeps the tweet tantrum going. So can we dub this Presidency “Titanic 2?”

Does anyone think that if @HillaryClinton had barely won she’d be spending any time obsessing about @realDonaldTrump and the election?

Trump on North Korea – “China could easily solve this problem!” Who knew foreign relations could be so complicated?

Fired Chief of Staff Reince Preibus said John Kelly is a “brilliant” pick. Now, guessing Preibus hasn’t read Voltaire. But wonder if he meant to say “the best of all possible picks.”

Got to love airlines. Arrive in Denver early to see a delayed United flight leaving half an hour earlier than my ticketed flight. But no chance to standby because of having a checked bag. No worries. Then land at SFO and get an email. “Your bag has arrived on an earlier flight. Please see a customer service agent.”
