Some debuts at a major league team home ballpark are over-hyped.

Kyle Harrison’s first start Monday August 28 at Oracle Park, announced just the day before, for the SF Giants, 0 runs, 11 Ks in 6 innings, was not one of them.

From 2019 “The Athletic” story when Gabe Kapler was just hired to manage #SFGiants “That photo of MLK Kapler plans hanging on the wall? It’s from King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” in 1963, when Kapler’s parents were among the crowd.” Don’t always agree with Gabe, but I respect him.

Per ESPN, mother of Spanish soccer Pres. Luis Rubiales locked herself in church saying she’s on a hunger strike until “inhuman bloodthirsty witch hunt which my son is being subjected to comes to an end.” Gosh, can’t imagine how this man grew up thinking world revolved around him.

Fortunately two women shot & injured at last Friday night’s White Sox-Athletics game at Chicago’s Guaranteed Rate Field will recover.

Uh, how can Donald Trump both claim he “only needs one more indictment to win the election” but also that trials will interfere with him trying to win the election?

Understand the Trump campaign doesn’t want trials in the middle of primary season. But if Donald didn’t think he even needed to debate, how can he claim he even needs to campaign?

As Idalia is forecast to become a major hurricane hitting Florida on Tuesday your reminder that “once in a lifetime” Hurricane Ian decimated parts of Florida in less than a year ago. (Sept 2022.) But sure, climate change is a hoax. #sarcasm
