This wasn’t the play that ended Alex Cobb’s no-hitter. Slater actually somehow caught the ball.

But the only hit, a double went just over Mato’s outstretched arm. Have seen some say he should have been playing deeper. Was actually at Oracle Park when Petit threw 8 2/3 of a perfect game.. In that case had Pence been playing shallow he would have probably caught Chavez’s hit.

At least Idalia is hitting Florida during the off-week between the NFL preseason and regular season. So the league doesn’t have to pretend they care about people and potential canceled games in Florida.

Now, we’ll see about the NCAA game Sunday between LSU and Florida State.

Now reports from Florida Hurricane Idalia could be once-in-a-lifetime event for Tampa & Gulf Coast Following Ian last year being once-in-a-lifetime event for Ft. Myers area. How many once-in-lifetime events do we need to have before some people figure out climate change is real?

Meanwhile, President Biden announced – August 28 – that FEMA federal disaster assistance was available to the state of Florida for Idalia and that the federal government would do everything it could for the state..

Three press conferences, at least, on Tuesday – think Ron DeSantis said ONE word of thanks to Joe Biden?

Dear GOP: Telling your flock this summer is normal weather with heat & hurricanes may not be the best way to save lives. Pretty darn clear that US weather now w/ climate change is anything BUT what we’ve known as “normal.”

Sincerely, Democrats who care about people’s lives, and science.

Seriously Ron DeSantis? Even when the Florida Governor tries to be a leader he tells people if they don’t evacuate responders won’t be able to get you until “after the storm has passed.” Uh, how about the truth, if you don’t evacuate, they’re likely to be recovering your body.

And ICYMI.

Ron DeSantis was a newly elected Congressman in 2013 when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey. DeathSantis voted against both $9.7 billion and $50 billion in Sandy relief in January 2013.

Has it occurred to any of these GOP politicians who have been trashing government and science nonstop to advance their own ends that their rhetoric has many of their flock also distrusting things like hurricane warning?

Even if no lives are lost, Hurricane Idalia, will likely probably cause a serious spike in US gas prices. Waiting to see how GOP is going to blame this on President Biden.-

Fox News headline “Conservatives blast Eminem for cease & desist letter to Ramaswamy campaign: ‘What a gigantic baby.”

So OK for bakers & website designers to object to being involved w/ gay weddings but not OK for musical artists to object to their work being used by right-wing campaigns.

Tim Scott after Jacksonville hate murders “Have we done enough to talk about racism & discrimination & use of violence? I think that’s responsibility of every American — GOP, Dems, no party affiliation.”

Uh, Senator, books talking about racism & discrimination are what GOP wants to ban.

Steve Scalise announced he has blood cancer Imbruvica, used for blood cancer, on list of drugs for Medicare to be able to negotiate prices. Will Scalise thank Dems like Amy Klobuchar who sponsored bill & Pres. Biden for helping others afford lifesaving drugs HE has access to?
