Left Coast Sports Babe

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, batting .230 for the year, left Monday night’s game after one inning after aggravating plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

SF Giants had a lot of things go wrong in last year’s offseason.

A Colorado State player had a late hit against a Colorado player in Saturday night’s game, resulting in an injury. Not good, he was penalized for unnecessary roughness and maybe be suspended.

Now he’s apparently had his and his family’s cellphone numbers addresses posted on Social Media and received death threats.

Folks, we can argue if the entire sport is too violent. But it IS still a game.

CNN’s Dana Bash asks Gavin Newsom about Biden’s age, Newsom strongly defends Joe and his vitality and experience. So Jake Tapper pivots to “if only we had truth serum.”… In other words, it doesn’t matter WHAT Biden’s defenders say if it gets in the way of media narrative.

Remember the Oscar slap? Even with 20 seconds ABC had time to edit Chris Rock & Will Smith’s profanity out so that most viewers didn’t hear the f-bombs.. NBC had days to edit Trump’s Meet the Press interview and/or to add disclaimers about his lies. They did neither.

Got my lastest COVID Booster

Long line at Walgreens in California even with appointment. And starting to wonder, with so many Republicans making being anti-vax part of their brand, will they need to work extra hard to suppress Democratic votes since their base is more likely to be permanently unavailable?
