Four wild card series in Major League Baseball, three of them ended up in sweeps.

So baseball fans go from four games a day, to one game Thursday, and nothing Friday until the ALDS and NLDS start Saturday.

A warning we are less than month away from, as A. Bartlett Giamatti wrote  “The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone..

ESPN reports, “two NFL teams high on Davante Adams’ wish list of places to land if he’s traded — if not at the very top — are the NY Jets and New Orleans Saints.”

The Saints have Derek Carr, Adams’ former teammate at Fresno State and with the Raiders.. Davante Adams is a Palo Alto High School graduate )across the street from Stanford) Maybe Adams could get over Aaron Rodgers being a Cal guy, but hope he’s smart enough not to want to play for someone so anti-science.

How much must it be infuriating Trump, that for all the lies J.D. Vance told, he came off as smarter and more likable than Donald?

–

If you care more about what month in 1989 Tim Walz was in China, than you do about J.D. Vance lying about LEGAL immigrants not only being illegal but also eating Americans’ pets…you just might be a cult member. Or on staff at Axios, and other US media.

Tim Walz may not be a great debater, but he came off as a guy you’d want to have a beer with.

J.D. Vance is the man who if he sits down next to you at the bar, you cover your drink if you leave for the ladies’ room.

–

Nancy Pelosi on the subject of reproductive freedom “I had 5 children in 6 years…it’s wonderful for me but not for me to decide what other people should do, nor is it up to Trump and Vance….”

–

“I’m really grateful to Mike Pence.” Cassidy Hutchinson tonight on “The Last Word.”

A sentence millions of Americans, including me, never expected to agree with.

–

Lara Trump on Donald insulting the intelligence of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. “This is Donald Trump… And obviously, he’s kind of joking around there with the crowd at a Trump rally when he says those things.” Trump. Does. Not. Joke.

–

Make them riot” “Do it!!” – Why are those two sentences not front page headlines?

Jasmine Crockett on how J.D Vance says Republicans need to talk about reproductive rights the right way.

“The problem isn’t how you talk about it. The problem is what you’ve done about it.”

#Bam

Molly Ivins would have loved Jasmine Crockett.

–

Amy Klobuchar on J.D. Vance saying “my heart goes out”, including to a woman bleeding out on a hospital floor after Roe V. Wade was overturned. “Your heart may go out, but your policies are heartless.”

–

Asked about Trump & Jan 6. J.D. Vance responded” “We’re focused on the future.” Reminds me of Mark McGwire back in steroid days “I’m not here to talk about the past.” Except with McGwire it was just home run record being broken. With Trump on Jan 6, it was our democracy that almost fell.

–

The gender gap was already historic in this election. What’s the record for the lowest percentage of women voting for a Presidential ticket? J.D. Vance is helping Trump-Vance aim for that record.

–

“We’re not pro-abortion, we’re pro-women.” I love Tim Walz

–

Walz talking how Trump on Roe v. Wade and reproductive rights said that the states will decide. “That’s not how this works.” Exactly. In the UNITED States of America, your zip code should not determine your rights .

–

Vance keeps talking about what a great job he claimed Donald Trump did. Once more for those in the back: And in language the former Apprentice host would get. American voters said to “Donald Trump – you’re fired.”

–

J.D. Vance – “More security in schools is the answer.” That worked out so well in Uvalde.

–

Tim Walz talking about how Trump has scuttled the border bill and ordered Republicans not to pass any legislation, even bipartisan legislation, that is good for this country. “What would Donald Trump talk about if we actually did some of these things?” Minnesota Nice Nailed It.

Can someone ask one of his surrogates a simple question. Do you honestly believe Donald Trump is currently in his right mind?

–

Trump saved Obamacare like he will protect women.

Folks, this isn’t hard. J.D. Vance claimed he hated Trump Now he claims he loves Trump. J.D. Vance claimed he’s 100% anti-abortion. Now he claims his heart goes out to women. J.D. Vance cares about power. If you care about your rights, vote Harris-Walz.

–

If Trump supporters had hanged Mike Pence, J.D. Vance would say his heart goes out to Pence’s family… But he’d still have accepted being Donald’s running mate. And he’d still have said Trump did nothing wrong on January 6.-

–

As Vance talks about Americans wanting better leadership in the White House, does he think we forgot that we already know what it’s like to have Trump in the White House? And we fired him.

–

And let’s not forget. J.D. Vance doesn’t want to talk details about implementing mass deportation. He was asked twice.

He knows his boss’s plan is cruel and impossible. He also knows how many Republicans count on staffing their businesses and homes with cheap immigrant labor.

–

Tim Walz talking about how Trump has scuttled the border bill and ordered Republicans not to pass any legislation, even bipartisan legislation, that is good for this country. “What would Donald Trump talk about if we actually did some of these things?” Minnesota Nice Nailed It.

—

President Biden will fly over Asheville to survey the damage because Mayor doesn’t want to shut only the open road from airport down to accommodate his motorcade. We know Trump if he were President in an election year would insist on the photo op.

–

As Iran launches a missile attack on Israel, your reminder, dictators across the world want Donald Trump in charge of the United States. Because he will tell them, as he has told Russia, to do “whatever the hell you want.”

–

Orioles 1-5 with RISP in scoring position. In a 1-0 loss in the first game of the AL Wild Card series against the Kansas City Royals. And that one hit only got a runner at second to third.

Baltimore colors are orange and black. Felt a bit too famiilar for SF Giants fans.

–

Hey Detroit Tigers fans. You can borrow the terms “Torture” and “Laugher” for the duration of your 2024 postseason. Sincerely, SF Giants fans who empathize.

–

Imagine if before baseball playoffs or major sporting event or even a reality television competition, one team or contestant constantly claimed they would win and if they lost it was cheating & they wouldn’t accept it.

We’d change the channel.
