Miami Heat said fans now can only get into games w/ tickets on their phones. What about those too old for mobile phones, like 1/2 of Miami?

–

Zach Randolph, who just signed with the Sacramento Kings, was arrested last night in Los Angeles on charge of marijuana possession with intent to sell. Clearly Randolph should have considered instead signing with the Denver Nuggets.

You can actually bet on #NFL preseason games. If you not only knew this but knew lines for Thursday night, you just might have a gambling problem.

–

New SF 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has been rated as one of the NFL coaches least likely to be fired this season. Well, when you start out basically saying “We’re rebuilding and we’re going to suck” it does lower expectations.

–

Another quote showing why #BullDurham is best movie ever – Annie Savoy “The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self-awareness.”

–

To get Trump focused on fixing this North Korea mess of his own making can someone tell him Guam wants to build best ever Trump golf club?

–

That moment when a President tweets from the golf course, telling Congress to get to work.

–

Wharton biz school- Trump plan to slash legal immigration would hurt US economy. Waiting for anti-Wharton tweets in 3.2.1…oops.

CNN reports that Paul Manafort’s son-in-law, Jeffrey Yohai, has been meeting with DOJ investigators in recent months. And you thought your Thanksgiving dinner this year with relatives could be awkward.

.

So it’s come out now that married former Trump communications director Jason Miller fathered child w/ former Trump aide A.J. Delgado.

This must be Obama’s fault.

–

#CNN fired Jeffrey Lord for tweeting “Sieg Heil!” Too soon to start pool when Lord will accept a job w/ White House communications office?

–

So happy must Mitch McConnell be now that he helped enable @realDonaldTrump to win the Presidency?

–

Stock market dropped 200 points today. Somehow I missed the Trump tweet taking credit.

–

“It’s not a dare, it’s a statement,” Trump said. No, it’s a dare AND a statement. What is he, 12?

–

Two days ago Trump said opioids weren’t a national emergency, today they are. Who knew addition could be so complicated?

–

52% of GOP voters would be ok with postponing 2020 elections if Trump said it was necessary to avoid voter fraud? Beam me up Scottie….

It’s going to be really annoying if a mushroom cloud blocks out the solar eclipse. #bustohell

UCLA QB Josh Rosen, complaining about being the difficulty of being a student-athlete “OK, raise the SAT requirement at Alabama and see what kind of team they have.”

And Crimson Tide players are going “what’s an SAT requirement?”

New England becomes first NFL team to buy their own planes. Confused, I thought Patriots already owned Jets.

Five stolen bases on the year for Buster Posey. You cannot hope to stop Posey, you can only contain him. @SFGiants

–

As awful as 2017 SF Giants season has been, who’ve have expected this sentence “Where would we be without  Ty Blach?

–

Green Bay Packers released DT Letroy Guion, after he was suspended 4 games by the NFL over PEDs and arrested for DUI in June. So too soon to start a pool as to when Guion might be picked up by the Dallas Cowboys?

–

A couple was arrested for having sex in public at the Wisconsin State Fair.     Guess that’s taking an attempt for a 4-H breeding ribbon a little too far?

—

Today is #InternationalCatDay And cats are sniffing. EVERY day is international cat day.

There will no doubt be a rousing chorus of “Rhinestone Cowboy” tonight in heaven. RIP #GlenCampbell

–

Can we just start calling it Fox and Fiends?  #FoxAndFriends

–

Google fired engineer who wrote women biologically unsuitable for tech jobs & leadership. Over-under on how long til he appears on Trump TV?

GOP saying they wish Trump would restrain himself on tweets is like parents of never-disciplined toddler suddenly expecting him to behave.

–

So imagine what @realDonaldTrump would have said about #NorthKorea if John Kelly weren’t around to rein him in. #WTF

Today is 72th anniversary of Nagasaki. When asked about the anniversary, wonder if @realDonaldTrump said Trump Tower had the best Nagasaki bowls?

–

Texas close to banning ACA and private insurance plans from covering abortions, except through supplemental plans.
But of course the same Texas legislature also supports welfare and child support for all mothers in need…. oh wait, never mind. #prolifemyass

–

From T.C.  “Breaking news. The US has just deported Dennis Rodman to Guam.

All you need to know about white privilege is that former 49ers GM Trent Baalke has been hired as a consultant by the NFL.

–

Johnny Manziel said if he doesn’t play again in NFL he’d like to return to football as college coach. Coach? More like an object lesson.

–

Jarrett Parker hits deep ball; bounces for ground rule double, Javy Baez hits one; bounces for inside the-park home run. #2017 #SFGiants

–

On the 10th anniversary of Barry Bonds’ 756th HR got to ask, while, yeah, we know he used PEDs, doesn’t the fact most pitchers were doing same thing kind of even it out?

–

Former Cavs GM David Griffin said Kyrie Irving showed “courage” by asking for a trade. So instead of a ring this year does Irving earn a medal?

–

Mets radio broadcaster Howie Rose was upset with ESPN for delaying the start of last night’s game so they could finish their pre-game show.
Of course, what he really should be upset with is the fact that NY lost all seven games they played this year against the Dodgers.

–

First #DarrinDaulton, now #DonBaylor. Sad week for MLB. But going to be a heck of an All-Star softball game this week in heaven.

Yung Mazi, a rapper who had survived 10 shootings and tweeted last year “God made me bulletproof” was shot again, this time fatally, in Atlanta. And cats are going “Even we don’t brag about all our lives.”

–

In July, Coast Guard caught 5 men trying to smuggle 5,000 lbs of cocaine into US on speedboat. But hey, let’s cut Coast Guard funds for a wall.

–

Another airline turbulence injury story makes headlines; if only there were some way to keep yourself in your seat. #Fastenyourdamnseatbelt

As White House takes away right of elderly to sue nursing homes for abuse, clear that Trump never expects to end up in home he doesn’t own.

–

Trump this am “Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal…” Projection much?

Tantrum on Blumenthal, nothing about loss of three Marines in Australia. Another of those moments Trump became Presidential?  Sad. Really.

Trump tweeted today, among other slams. “I think Senator Blumenthal should take a nice long vacation in Vietnam, where he lied about his service, so he can at least say he was there.”

So how are those bone spurs doing, Mr. President?

–

Of course, have to assume Trump will eventually go to Vietnam, when he gets a contract for a Trump hotel there.

–

Maybe we can get @realDonaldTrump to release the climate change report if someone tells him Barack Obama doesn’t believe it?

–

Missing those days when #TheBacheloretteFinale was sure to provide the craziest dialogue of the week.

#SFGiants undefeated in 2nd #PabloSandoval era.

–

The Panda is back in San Francisco.  One of few bright stops in lost season – at least SF Giants aren’t ones paying him $90 million.

–

Kirk Reuter leads stadium in “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and #SFGiants score 3 runs with next 3 batters. #rallywoody

–

Colin Kaepernick was 23rd ranked QB in NFL last year. So message is, if you’re going to be a distraction, you better be one of the top 10.

–

#SFGiants lineup tonight: Span, Jones, Crawford, Sandoval, Parker, Pence, Hundley, Stratton. Just like we expected in spring training.

–

#Dbacks Starting pitcher Anthony Banda, who held #SFGiants to 1 run Friday night , was 7-6 this season, w/ 5.13 ERA, in Triple-A…

Headline in UK Daily Mail “Oakland Athletics star ‘hurls gay slur at Los Angeles Angels fan…”

Now this was a really stupid thing for Matt Joyce to do, and he has apologized (and been suspended two games. )  But “star?” He is hitting .227.’

–

Stephen Curry shot a 74 at the Ellie Mae Classic & missed the cut. Well, at least he might have fulfilled childhood dream of playing like Tiger Woods.

–

Isn’t Eric Bolling dick pick kind of redundant?   I think that would describe all his selfies.

#EricBolling has been suspended by Fox News. Well, there are positions open in the White House communications office.

–

The White House is being renovated while Trump is on vacation. Any chance they can change the locks?

–

So Putin’s on vacation and Trump just left for 2 weeks in New Jersey. Because Vlad won’t be around to tell him what to do? #coincidence?

A Mike Pence spokesman tweeted that “claims VP preparing for 2020 run are ridiculous #FakeNews.” Nah, Pence thinks he’ll be working on re-election.

Scary thought – while on vacation @realDonaldTrump might really have time to watch TV.

So wonder how much @realDonaldTrump has jacked up the rates at Bedminster to charge taxpayers for his vacation?

Happy Birthday Barack Obama. Hard to believe less  than 7 months ago we could wake up without going “Oh Gawd, what did President tweet now?”

–

Ken Starr on Mueller investigation “We don’t want prosecutors out on a fishing expedition.” Once again @TheOnion is going “We give up.”

Diamondbacks may have won, but still look like someone accidentally tossed black jeans into the wash on hot with their white uniforms. #Dbacks #SFGiants 

–

In Japan, the Yomiuri Giants make and sell chopsticks out of broken bats. Clearly a potential $$$ opportunity for the 2017 SF Giants – they have plenty of bats in unused condition.

–

Three people were shot and injured, one critically, in a San Francisco park yesterday. Just another day in America; move along, nothing to see here. Unless one of the shooters turns out to be undocumented…

–

Kellyanne Conway indicated Trump WH might use polygraphs on staff to find leakers. Polygraphs don’t work on sociopaths. Coincidence?

It’s Friday night/Saturday morning  in Washington D.C. Do we know who Trump is firing next yet?

–

On Barack Obama’s birthday, what some call #ObamaDay it’s fair also to remember shortcomings: His White House wasn’t nearly as good as Trump’s in job creation for defense lawyers.

Trump’s Bedminster Golf club has “5 luxury multi bedroom cottages & 11 suites” Wonder how much he’s charging taxpayers to stay there.

(on other hand, if Trump leaves  his smart phone at home it might be worth it.)

–

Apparently while @realDonaldTrump is on vacation, Putin also vacationing in Siberia. Well, no doubt they can keep in touch w/ usual texts.

Dunkin’ Donuts is considering dropping the “Donuts” from its name.  Okay, forget politics, this is an outrage. #IblameTrump

–

Maybe it’s just me but think Stephen Miller vs Jim Acosta would be more riveting pay-per-view than Mayweather vs McGregor.

–

ESPN reports Ravens head coach Harbaugh and GM Newsome want to sign Kaepernick, but owner Bisciotti has reservations. Guess it would have been easier if Kap had just killed somebody.

Philadelphia was going to honor Pete Rose this weekend and give away his bobblehead. Now, due to allegation Rose had an affair with a 14 year-old girl, the event has been cancelled. Who knew the 2017 Phillies could have something more embarrassing than the team’s play on the field?

–

Krukow “Matt Moore has really turned his season around.” I think I like “mission accomplished” better. #SFGiants #As #BayBridgeSeries

–

Justin Bieber selling plain white Hanes t-shirts online for $30. Guess if he figures you’re dumb enough to pay for one of his concerts….

–

The horror. Have clients on a 13 1/2 hour flight where pilot admitted before takeoff that the plane had no working entertainment system. If only there were a way to have some sort of backup option for travelers, something you could print out and carry….

–

If there’s no litmus test for Democrats to fund candidates on choice I presume they’d be okay w/ anyone wanting to limit access to Viagra?

–

Well who you gonna believe? The President of the United States or Boy Scouts?

–

Happy #NationalColoringBookDay. Remember those innocent days with George W. Bush when that would have been the setup to the best Presidential jokes of the day?

–

Trump will be on vacation at his New Jersey golf club from Aug 4-20. Can he leave his phone in White House? Asking for a tired country.

–

Trump joining with 2 GOP senators to change immigration law to prioritize merit & skills instead of family connections. Wonder if he’ll delegate the details to Ivanka and Jared.

Trump denies calling White House “a dump” Well we all know Golf Magazine is really a front for #FakeNews liberal media. @golf_com

–

Trump now on Statue of Liberty “Such a funny green and so large, believe me, she wouldn’t be my first choice.”

Trump reportedly wants to fire general because US not winning Afghan war. Whatever happened to “Let’s get with it, get out of Afghanistan?”

Rasmussen poll shows Trump with a 38% approval rating. You do wonder, what exactly could he do to make those supporters abandon him?

–

Trump statement on the Russia Sanction bill he reluctantly signed, it “remains seriously flawed – particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch’s authority to negotiate.”
Yeah, I am sure he wrote that part himself too.

The Warriors’ Stephen Curry is entering his first professional golf event this week via a sponsor’s exemption: the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic.
A Vegas sportsbook has listed the odds of him winning as 3,000 to 1. So about the same as Tiger Woods.

–

San Francisco fans were beginning to think they wouldn’t see a 10 in the home team column until 2nd or 3rd game of 49ers season. #SFGiants

–

2 New England Patriots, Edelman & Gilmore, were ejected from practice today for fighting. Who do they think they are? The Dallas Cowboys?

–

In Tennessee a bride was arrested at a motel when during an “alcohol-fueled argument” she pulled out a gun and fired it at her husband…. while still wearing her wedding dress.   Your move, Florida.

–

At San Francisco International AIrport, a 17-yr old boy on a Copa Airlines flight opened the emergency exit door after landing and jumped out on to the runway. He was not injured but was detained by police.
Hey, I’ve had tarmac delays waiting for gates where I feel his pain.

–

Dear Country: Please excuse Don Jr. from everything. He was helping me with the family business. Sincerely, the best President Ever DJT

–

As mom of a 20-something I know it can be hard to learn to treat grown children like adults: But Don Trump, Jr will be 40 in Dec. #WTF?

–

Trump on Jared Kushner “He’s a good — he’s a good boy.” Kushner is 36 years old.

–

Who knew, Tiffany might turn out to be the smart one?

–

Who’s more relieved after July 31, the MLB trade deadline?   Players still w/ their teams who didn’t want to be traded? Or White House staffers who still have jobs?

–

Harvard Law School listed Anthony Scaramucci as dead in its latest alumni directory. Well, that’s only if Trump tells Putin Mooch violated his NDA.

–

So will all those fired by White House need to be treated for Post Trump Stress Disorder?

–

Kudos to Jeff Flake for speaking out in his book “Conscience of a Conservative.” On the other hand he writes that we passively say “‘Someone should do something!’ without seeming to realize that someone is us.”
Uh, like someone who has voted with Trump 94.5% of the time?
#dosomething

–

Headline “Rosie O’Donnell tells women to quit the Democrats and form their own party after top official says candidates do NOT have to support abortion.”
Can we get over this wording? It’s not “support abortion” – it’s “support CHOICE.”

–

Cory Booker has called for the legalization of marijuana at the federal level. Well, it’s high time.
