Umpire Ángel Hernández again lost racial discrimination lawsuit as federal appeals court upheld 2021 ruling for MLB.

Angel claims he’s been passed over for promotions & World Series because he’s Latino.

In a very divided country thinking there’s rare bipartisan agreement. No, Hernandez is just a terrible umpire.

SF Giants had scored 10 runs in a week, tonight, after being shut out through five innings, they scored 7 runs in the last three innings. (No bottom of the 9th needed in a 7-0 win.)

It was Jewish Heritage Night. Thinking until they started scoring in the bottom of the 6th I couldn’t have been the only fan sitting Shiva for the Giants offense.

Nebraska AD Trev Alberts, with one of the few logical statements on conference realignments. “If you just look at football in isolation, eventually conferences will matter less in a sense. If we can find a way to take football and have that be this entity here, I think then you can get back to doing some much more intelligent thinking around the rest of the sports, which should be regionally based.”

So can we just call college football what it is, minor leagues for the NFL and be done with it?

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says the Georgia indictments were “unnecessary.” Uh, Chris, wanna know what’s unnecessary? Shutting down two of three lands on a bridge between Fort Lee NJ and New York for FOUR DAYS because the mayor of Fort Lee didn’t endorse you.

As Trump’s indictment in Georgia is headline news all over world, this is TOP headline over in Fox News World. “Manhattan judge refuses to recuse himself from Trump case despite donation to Biden” And underneath “Judge Juan Merchan donated $15 to President Biden.” Yes – $15!

(In New York, that’s not even the cost of a martini. Or maybe a couple ice cream cones.)

Unbelievable CBS News Bay Area just ran a story about how people in West Maui are BEGGING people not to come right now. Followed immediately by a story about President Biden facing criticism for not having gone to Maui yet.

Been to Maui maybe 20 times. There’s one highway (380) from airport towards West & South Maui, then one narrow highway (30) to West Maui. Presidential motorcade would cause backups on a pre-fire day…. Maui resources are stretched as is. Joe will come when they say it’s OK.

So when did House Republicans all take speed reading courses? As they all came out against the 96 page Georgia indictment about five minute after it was unsealed.

If you’re frustrated w/ “both sides” reporting from Washington Post & NY Times, may I suggest digital subscription to 1-2 local newspapers? In CA I’ve long subscribed to SF Chronicle but now added Orlando Sentinel -doing great job exposing DeSantis. Local papers need support.

Lost in all the commotion, Monday was the day Donald Trump could finally say he’d had more indictments than wives.
