But the Orioles have a two game winning streak.

–

In the NL West, the San Diego Padres are now closer to the 4th place Colorado Rockies than to the 2nd place Los Angeles Dodgers.

–

Donovan Solano apparently has COVID and will miss at least 7-10 days. No report if it’s a breakthrough case. But if he’s unvaccinated then while SF Giants may be justifiably proud of their “no pr*cks” team, they can no longer claim a “no idiots” team.

–

At this point there will probably be some great last minute deals on October cruises to Mexico with San Diego Padres players on board. And maybe some Mets.

–

Pac-12 says it’s not pursuing any plans for expansion at this time.

Translation, they can’t think of any teams from the remnants of the Big 12 worth adding – none closer to the Pacific than Texas Tech in Lubbock.

–

If we gave some of these GOP Governors stock in Pfizer, Moderna, and/or Johnson and Johnson would they push vaccines like Ron DeSantis is pushing Regeneron?

–

Have seen few Democrats in Calif. say they’re voting “yes” on recall to “teach Newsom a lesson.” Sorry, if you’re really a Democratis & you think “a lesson” is worth destruction one of GOP replacements on ballot will wreak on state you’re as bad as GOP refusing vaccines to “own the libs.”

–

Some untold number of Americans who insist not getting COVID vaccine demonstrates freedom, only have survived to adulthood because of vaccines against polio, tetanus, smallpox, diphtheria, e

Remember when all those Democrats immediately called for George W. Bush to resign after 9-11? Me neither.

–

We don’t know exact toll but yes, deaths in Kabul are awful. We do know 1165 Americans died here in US yesterday alone from COVID – also awful. But same GOP criticizing Biden for not saving lives in Afghanistan has no problem discouraging life-saving vaccines & masks at home

Listening to our “heartbroken but outraged” President today only hours after many including US soldiers were killed in Kabul, & thankful to have decent empathetic man in White House. TFG ignored Niger deaths for a week, then insulted widow of fallen Army Special Forces Sergeant..

So wonder where all the Republicans are today who usually say after mass shootings “it’s too soon to politicize these deaths?”

Dodgers and Padres inviting that rare camaraderie between West Coast night owls and East Coast early birds?

Irish coffees instead of beers anyone?

–

It’s tough to be an Baltimore Orioles fan. They actually won tonight, ending a 19 game losing streak, 2 losses short of AL record. That streak was set by the O’s themselves in 1988 when they started 0-21.

Meanwhile, Dodgers and Padres until th 15th have combined to go 2 for 37 with runners in scoring position.

Penalty kicks anyone?

–

Thought the SF Giants and NY Mets played a sloppy game tonight including on offense. LA Dodgers and SD Padres – hold our overpriced beer.

–

Tonight’s SF Giants motto. Better to be lucky than good. Starting with being lucky enough to play the Mets.

Lindsey Graham tweeted. “On this, the third anniversary of John McCain’s passing – and given the chaos in the world – it reminds me and many others how much we miss his counsel and wisdom.

Uh, Senator Graham, to take the high road here, why don’t you try imagining what your good friend John would be saying to you right now?

–

Wonder how many people refusing to take a vaccine because they think something in it might be bad for them, regularly drink Slurpees and/or hard seltzer?

–

Bleeping spare me. Matt Gaetz about his elopement “Friday, I’m speaking in Nashua. So right before we got married, we were in Iowa; right after New Hampshire. It’s the life of a political couple.”

Uh, Rep Gaetz, Florida has worst COVID outbreak in USA. why aren’t you in YOUR state doing your job?

Media seems to be spending a lot more time castigating President Biden for not to doing enough to protect American lives in Afghanistan… than they are spending time castigating GOP politicians lying about COVID for not protecting American lives right here at home.

–

“Just say no” is often too simplistic a solution to a problem. Not in the case of the California gubernatorial recall.

Fox News and other conservative outlets are headlining how “24 California students, 16 parents stranded in Afghanistan after summer vacations.” Now, if this had happened under TFG, they’d be blaming the Californians for going over there in the first place.

This seems a good time to remind everyone that Erik Prince is Betsy Devos’s brother.

–

So in the spirit of bipartisanism, and since House Minority Leader seems to care so much about it, could Joe Biden nominate Kevin McCarthy as Ambassador to Afghanistan?-

Amy Klobuchar tonight on The Last Word w/ Lawrence O’Donnell reminds us Lisa Murkowski has supported John Lewis Voting Act. We just need 50 votes + a rule to justify the bill as exemption from filibuster exemption. My money’s on Chair of Rules committee figuring out that rule.

Can anyone give an example of one time Democrats tried to make it harder for Republicans to vote? I’ll wait.
