After watching World Series Game 4, am again trying to wrap my head around what would have happened if Bruce Bochy had ever suggested to Madison Bumgarner he was going to use an opener in one of Madbum’s World Series games. #SFGiants

–

BYU came back to beat University of Virginia 66 to 49. But Virginia was leading 42 to 38 at halftime.

Did the defenses start out practicing social distancing?.

—

Velveeta Voldemort claims he was invited to World Series. And Hershel Walker was in his suite.

–

The Former Guy thanked MLB commissioner Rob Manfred for invitation. Manfred – “we have always tried to be apolitical.”

Wonder if MLB offered tickets to Senator Reverend Rafael Warnock?

–

–

Interesting fact in case you’re watching fans as the crowd does “The Chop” tonight during World Series Game 4. Atlanta Demographics Black 50.95% White: 40.90% Are there 50 black people total in the stands?

–

So not sure how much the Former Guy might have paid the Former First Lady for her appearance tonight but she clearly didn’t think it was enough.

–

As cameras panned Truist Field for Mastercard’s #StandUpToCancer moment, wonder why they aren’t showing the Former Guy. Maybe because Donald wouldn’t stand up for anyone but himself?

–

Is there any chant in sports more obnoxious than “The Chop?” #WorldSeries

–

GOP – let’s attack Democrats by alleging Americans are turning down good jobs just to keep getting benefits.Also GOP – let’s praise other Americans leaving good jobs just to keep “owning the libs” by not getting vaccinated.

–

Speaking of parents telling schools what to teach, I remember in my high school American history class, teacher, an ex-Marine & a parent, telling me Richard Nixon had done nothing wrong with Watergate. So how do you decide which parents get to decide?

–

Kyrie Irving is a parent. Kyrie Irving is not only anti-vaxx but also he believes the earth is flat. So should he have a say in his child’s science education?

–

Gloria Steinum was right. “‘If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.” But also, if men were responsible for child care, paid family leave would be a sacrament.

All you need to know about ESPN if the Yankees and Red Sox aren’t playing: Not a single of the eight headlines on their website Friday were is about baseball .

Friday is game three of the World Series

Albert Pujols is going to playing in the he Dominican Professional Baseball League this winter and said he wants to continue playing in the majors until “I feel I can’t play anymore.”

Well, there is a middle ground if Pujols isn’t quite up to MLB standards…. Bet he could get a roster invitation from the Orioles or Diamondbacks.

–

Good for the Atlanta Braves to honor Hank Aaron before World Series game 3 tonight. Whether an accident or timing glad that it didn’t coincide with the Former Guy attending the game in a suite Saturday night.

–

–

Dusty Baker, who has managed in both leagues, prefers the National League game with pitchers hitting. And he never even got to manage Madison Bumgarner.

–

Still don’t even like the DH. But a term I dislike more – “bullpen game.”

–

Number of U.S. traffic deaths in the first six months of 2021 was 20,160, highest first-half total since 2006. Well, based on their response to COVID deaths, how long until Republicans demand end to seat belt mandates?1214

–

Populations: Florida: 21.5 million California: 39.5 million Acknowledged deaths from COVID: FL: 59,670 CA: 72,100 And Deathsantis brags about “winning.”. No wonder Ron DeSantis hates schools. They teach math, which has a liberal bias.

Some conservatives want to ban upsetting books from schools, so what about book w/ these lines?

“Let us make our father drink wine & we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father…thus both daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.” Genesis 19-36

–

Another potential GOP banned book line? “When man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at end of 6 years as men are. If she does not satisfy her owner, he must allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners.” (Exodus 21:7-11)

–

First, most police officers are vaccinated. Second. Why isn’t Fox reporting that those who quit because of mandates won’t even be eligible to be hired for security at Fox News because Fox itself requires vaccines or daily COVID-19 testing?

–

GOP now screaming about executive privilege about things including “appointments showing White House visitors” in the weeks before January 6 had no problem with demanding same information when it might corroborate a President having a consensual affair. Just saying.

–

A serious question: Why do parents who want a say in what public schools teach their children assume that theirs is the ONLY viewpoint that can be taught to their children?

–

Never have been big Andrew Cuomo fan & couldn’t understand how in early 2020 so many thought he could be President. But why is media focusing so much more on one sexual assault charge against former NY Governor than they ever did on multiple charges against Former Guy President?

–

In the Virginia Governor’s race…

Terry McAuliffe was good & competent Governor.

Glenn Youngkin has no experience.

Terry McAuliffe is supported by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mark Warner, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, etc.

Youngkin is supported by The Former Guy. Which side are you on?

–

So when Democrats get a budget deal together what “Breaking News” will US media come up with instead of praising it?
