September 7, 2017

Apparently the Chiefs watched the 4th quarter of last year’s Super Bowl.

–

2017 is a weird @MLB year. #SFGiants somehow turned into the #Phillies, and now the #Dodgers are trying to turn into the #SFGiants.

–

Grant Bisbee of McCovey Chronicles notes “The Giants have outscored the Dodgers in the second half of the season.”
Clearly a sign of the apocalypse.

Urban Meyer says it drives him “insane” when 1st-year coaches complain, saying once you start “they’re YOUR players.” Well, except after Meyer left Florida when some of them also belonged to parole officers.

–

Clippers are offering new courtside seats with all-inclusive club access, waiter service and valet parking. ESPN reports a source says the price is $175,000 a seat. Well, it’s not as if buyers will have to save money for several rounds of playoff tickets.

–

So the world’s chances of avoiding a nuclear holocaust may come down to Dennis Rodman?

–

Zander Venezia, 16 yr-old pro surfer died while surfing in Barbados during Hurricane Irma. A fellow surfer said his last words before heading out again were “I just got the best wave of my life!”
Venezia hoped to go to the Olympics, but at least he might be this year’s front-runner for the top Hurricane Darwin Award.

All these people who don’t believe in Climate change shouldn’t fear Irma, because weather forecasting is you know, science.

–

Equifax says  hackers accessed 143 million social security numbers, birthdays, addresses & driver licenses. Hey, that’s only almost every adult in US.

–

So how come hackers can even access info from companies in business of data security like Equifax, & no one’s gotten Trump’s tax returns?

–

Don Jr said he met with Russian lawyer to learn Hillary’s “fitness” to be President. If he said it with a straight face he’s better actor than dad.

–

In Trump world:   Dreamers were capable of making illegal decisions as toddlers but Donald Jr , 39, is a “good boy” & Ivanka, 35, calls him “Daddy.”

Trump tells Dreamers for 6 months they’ll have nothing to worry about – “no action.” Same as doctors sometimes say about inoperable cancer.

–

Steve Bannon, Catholics support #DACA because “they need illegal aliens to fill churches.” Yeah,can see why religious right supported Trump.

–

Betsy DeVos announced plans to rewrite Obama-era campus sexual assault policy to better protect accused students. And this is a woman who has daughters?

–

Devos, wanted to”advance God’s kingdom” through education, now works for pussy-grabber. Should we be surprised by today?

–

Okay, Trump actually released a list of charities that are getting his and Melania’s $1 million donation. If true, good for him.
See, I can say something nice about Trump. Don’t get used to it. 🙂

CSI – Fenway?

September 7, 2017

The Red Sox, who themselves admitted stealing signs with an Apple watch, now say they have  “video evidence” of the Yankees using a  camera also to steal signs.

Stand by for 2018 BOS-NY games not only on ESPN but also covered on CSI?

 

For first time in recent memory,  SF Giants  actually gained a game on Dodgers.  Now only 38.5 games out. #smallmercies

 

 –
Lots of rumors earlier this year that #SFGiants might have traded Joe Panik. Lots of playoff-bound teams now wish they had him.
–
SF Giants sent an email to fans suggesting they use “Giants FanCam” And “Tag Yourself in our 360 degree photo view of AT&T Park at your most recent Giants game!
Uh, right about now, not sure how many people want to admit they are going to Giants games.

 

 

New US govt report found women between ages of 40-59 aren’t getting enough sleep. Waiting for the next study that will find water is wet.

–

I sure do miss days when the biggest controversy of the day was whether the new cast of #DWTS Dancing with the Stars really were stars.

 

Facebook reportedly is telling advertiser it can reach 25 million more people in the US than census data shows exist. Well, hey, guess Russian bots need friends too?

–

Rush Limbaugh on Irma “These storms, once they actually hit, are never as strong as they’re reported.” Maybe he should go report on this travesty in person?

 

FEMA is already running out of money after Harvey and before Irma. But hey, the priority for Americans’ safety is a wall? @realDonaldTrump

–

Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer stepping down and cited “personal reasons.” As in he’s personally tired of Trump?

 

How long until GOP leaders who supported Trump realize they were enacting US version of Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn   “You break it you buy it” policy.

–

Can anyone imagine GOP response if an Obama daughters, or even Michelle, just dropped by closed White House meetings to say “hello? #WTF?

 

 –
Steve King doesn’t believe DACA should be fixed, and says Dreamers “continue to live the objective that they sought to achieve when they illegally entered America. Live in the shadows.”
Right, because six-year olds tell their parents their dream is to leave home and grow up to live in the shadows? #WTF?
Over the years I have met many people who I knew were undocumented. Often they had just stayed past tourist or student visas. And in several cases they were Caucasians from Britain. Just guessing that if they are still “illegal” the Brits and children are not the Dreamers fearing ICE prosecution.
(a friend points out that the largest group overstaying visas is now Asian.  But Trump isn’t talking about going  after them, or putting walls around airports.
