So the A’s are out of their Oakland lease after 2024. Looks like sharing their stadium with the SF Giants isn’t feasible. There are minor league stadiums in Sacramento, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas.
What about a return to the baseball history days of barnstorming? Not completely kidding. They’d probably draw more around the country at various retired stadiums or AAA ballparks than in Oakland.

Tickets for Iowa women’s season basketball final game now against Ohio State,- with Caitlin Clark poised to break Pete Maravich’s all time college scoring record, start at about $500 to get in the door, with ticket prices going up over $5,000.
For those of us who aren’t going to Iowa, the game will be televised on ESPN.
Love the fact that these ticket prices are higher even than Ohio State football bowl games.
You go girl.

Meanwhile, Susan Collins, on Mitch McConnell, “I felt compelled to thank him for devoting his life to public service for all the right reasons, to improve the lives of people in our great country** Well, unless you’re a woman who counted on reproductive rights. For starters.

Mitch McConnell stepping down almost guarantees a Trump supporter will lead Republicans in the Senate. This would be a great time for Lisa Murkowski to become an independent & work out how to caucus with Democrats. Yes, she’s conservative on most issues, but she’s not crazy.

Remember that old joke about a guy who murdered his parents and asked for sympathy from the court because he was an orphan?
Well, Donald Trump has been delaying his trials for over a year and now wants sympathy from the courts because those trials will be too close to the election.

Brett Kavanaugh on bump stock prohibition on guns: “Even if you’re not aware of legal prohibition, you can be convicted…That’s going to ensnare a lot of people who arent aware of the legal prohibition.” So Brett wants to strike down all laws people can claim to be unaware of?

So MAGA Mike Johnson kicked the can down the road to avoid a government shutdown for another week. If course if the Speaker really gave a damn about keeping the government open he could have cut the House’s two week vacation short.

SCOTUS will somewhat unexpectedly take on Trump immunity case. Unintended consequences? If they rule for absolute Presidential immunity, Joe Biden can claim regardless of the election results, he can stay in White House himself if he feels Trump is threat to our democracy.
In California, voting by mail is straightforward and easy…. they verify signatures & also track your ballot. So far, 6 days before election, fewer than 10% of ballots have been returned, which is considerably lower than average. Hoping for a good election day turnout.
Even in blue state there are close races, We need to do better. VOTE!
