With a win today, SF Giants have climbed out of NLWest cellar. #smallmercies #onegameatatime

–

So who picked Zaza Pachulia to be the Warriors MVP in game 1?

–

Happy I guess for Warriors fan friends. But calling it gritty comeback vs Spurs does miss point by a foot. Or rather an ankle.

–

Just guessing if Zaza had any plans to tour the Alamo on vacation he might want to wait a little while.

–

Lebron was a Hillary supporter, Steve Kerr has made it clear he isn’t fond of our President.  And then there was Popovich today pre-game, asked if he ever gets distracted from the game by concern for the world ”

“Absolutely.  It’s interesting that you would ask that, because usually things happen in the world and you go to work and you’ve got your family and you’ve got your friends and you do what you do, but to this day, I feel like there’s a cloud, a pall over the whole country in a paranoid, surreal sort of way.

“It has nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election,   It’s got to do with the way one individual conducts himself. And that’s embarrassing, it’s dangerous to our institutions and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be. But for this individual, he’s in a game show, and everything that happens begins and ends with him, not our people and our country. Every time he talks about those things, that’s just a ruse. That’s just disingenuous, cynical and fake.”

–

Thinking with last playoff teams standing, likely to be a very good chance NBA champions’ visit to White House not happening this year

–

No tweets from @realDonaldTrump on #SNL last night. For #MothersDay did Ivanka tell her kids to grab & hide grandad’s cellphone?

–

GOP might want #MerrickGarland as #FBIDirector? #WTF? Presume just so they can slam Russia investigation as a Democratic witch hunt.

(though other friends point out this also takes Garland off his lifetime appointment on the court of appeals.)

–

Does it really matter if @realDonaldTrump taped conversations. “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying ears?”

Paul Ryan posted a “Happy Mother’s Day” message, with a picture of his mom and saying ” To all moms who do whatever it takes”    He might have added  ‘And because moms have superpowers, I’m going to see how they make it work without healthcare for maternity and pre-existing conditions.

NBA admits they should have given the Celtics an additional second down 1 point to the Wizards in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. This is important, could have made a major difference in determining which team gets blown out by Cavs in conference finals.

–

NASCAR made driver Carl Long to strip of the logo “Veedverks” Colorado-based marijuana vaping company from his car, saying it violated rules. Either that or it offended all the beer sponsors?

–

So, early days, but we COULD have a Nashville-Ottawa Stanley Cup final. Well that ought to do wonders for U.S.  NHL ratings

–

Most amazing thing about SF Giants Reds 17-inning marathon. It didn’t somehow end with Billy Hamilton stealing home.

–

10 years from last night’s 17 inning marathon will 30,000 of 300 fans left at #ATTPark say they stayed for Posey’s walkoff blast? @SFGiants

–

I miss FLOTUS Michelle Obama “You have to stop and think, ‘Why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you, and why is that a partisan issue.”

–

GOP National Committee Spring Meeting is at the Hotel Del Coronado. They do realize that San Diego is kind of a “sanctuary city?”

–

Hardest thing for those on @NBCSNL this year. Hoping as it approaches 1130pm that Trump doesn’t do something requiring complete rewrite.

–

North Korea test-fired missile. Why? Who knows. But Kim Jong Un has to be feeling pressure to keep that “Craziest World Leader Alive” title.

–

Is it too soon to start a pool on date Trump will fire whoever he appoints as new FBI director?

–

NY Daily News editorial “President descends” – “leader of the free word is acting like a cornered dog.” #FailingDailyNews tweets in 3.2.1…

The SFGiants have had a great 2017 season so far, #WithFewExceptions

–

Las Vegas sportsbooks aren’t expecting too much drama in the NBA Western Conference Finals. $100 bet on the Warriors to win the series would win $6.25. $100 bet on the Spurs would win $900. Christians had better odds against Lions.

–

Meanwhile Wizards and Celtics are fighting awfully hard for the right to be blown out by the Cavs.

–

At this point the best hope for serious NBA semi-final drama would be if Cavs and Warriors players somehow got into a Las Vegas brawl resulting in injuries before their series’ started.

–

Apparently a policeman was writing “open-container” tickets for fans getting off the train tonight and heading to AT&T Park. Shouldn’t there be a waiver because alcohol is the only way to get through some of these SF Giants games?

–

Josh Gordon’s appeal for reinstatement to the NFL after multiple marijuana issues has been denied.   Now if he’d only hit a woman while in a steroid-induced rage after being caught with a DUI, he’d be back by midseason.

–

Anyone else thinking they liked #HouseofCards better when it was just Netflix series? And when Frank Underwood didn’t look like an upgrade.

–

So if there are #WhiteHouse tapes I am sure it is Obama’s fault.

Trump calls Comey a “showboat.” Don’t know if pots or kettles are laughing harder.

Give Trump credit for accomplishing something huge. Who else could have made Comey a bipartisan sympathetic figure?

–

Now President of the United States is opening threatening the former head of the FBI he just fired. What could possibly go wrong?

–

Am sure FBI employees have no problem with Trump threatening their former director.

–

#WithfewExceptions, Lincoln enjoyed his time at the theater and JFK had a nice visit to Dallas.

–

#Withfewexceptions Nixon was not a crook.

Trump complains Spicer’s “press conferences are like the biggest thing on daytime television.” He’s worried about Sean beating his ratings?

James Harden blames #Spurs #Rockets game 6 on “rhythm.” Funny, most people who use that excuse are Catholic parents.

–

So will Spurs hold Kawhi out against the Warriors Monday to increase their chance of domination? @NBA

–

But hey, without Kawhi and Tony Parker didn’t everyone have @Spurs winning going away on road in game 6?

All of the @ESPN layoffs and Stephen A. Smith still has a job?

Popovich just coached guys many NBA fans never heard or thought had retired to blowout gm 6 win over #Rockets USA 2020 Olympics Dream Team motto has to be “No Excuses.”

–

“Bad 0-2 pitches” would be a great name for an SF Giants garage band.

–

How long until Trump and Lavar Ball get into a social media war over each other stealing the spotlight?

–

Trump told @TheEconomist he invented phrase “priming the pump.” Wow. Next he’ll to try to steal credit for inventing internet from Al Gore.

–

Jimmy Kimmel: “When we said Trump should act more presidential, we didn’t mean Nixon.”

Reports are that the White House apparently didn’t realize that a Russian photographer actually worked for TASS, the largest Russian news agency. But Hillary’s emails…..

–

So biggest question at @nbcsnl this week – who’s gonna play Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

–

Whatever their faults “a foolish consistency” is not the “hobgoblin” of this Trump administration. #ComeyFiring #contradictions

–

Washington Post reports Deputy AGl Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign in protest over Trump’s White House saying he was the behind the decision to fire Comey.
Didn’t we see the prequel to this movie in the 70s?

Then after saying a memo was the reason to fire Comey, Trump in an interview “In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.”

And we think coaches wish their players would shut up.

–

“Who knew firing people could be so complicated?”

–

What if Trump REALLY misses his previous life & just plans on being more & more audacious until he is sent back to it?

–

Overstatement to say “f*cking miracle has occurred?” The SFGiants score 4, in the 9th, hang on and win the game 6-5.  First time they have won a game they trailed in the 9th since 2015.   Of course it was the Mets.  #dontgettooexcited?

–

Yeah, #ChristianArroyo really wasn’t ready to come up to MLB. Thank you @arroyo_c How soon can SFGiants get bobblehead ready?

–

Buster Posey has hit more home runs in 3 games at CitiField than he had hit all season. Is he trying to get traded to the #Mets? #SFGiants

–

Spicer hiding in White House hedges to avoid reporters on #ComeyFiring.  Is Trump trying to have Melissa McCarthy die of exhaustion? #WTF #SNL

–

So can we start a pool on who will be the next person @realDonaldTrump fires?

–

If Congress decides to appoint special prosecutor for Trump-Russia situation will the President next fire Congress? #comey #PreetBharara

–

If you doubt supporters think he can do no wrong, saw serious tweet praising Trump’s Comey firing, saying he should replace him as FBI director with Michael Flynn.  #WTF

–

Credit where credit is due. With way women reacting to @realDonaldTrump have to figure he’s great for wine sales. Huge!

–

If I were conspiracy theorist I might think possibily announcing an airline laptop ban in midst of  Comey uproar a good way to distract Americans with outrage.

–

What’s commotion about Russian media planting listening devices in Oval Office? Trump hasn’t already done it for BFF Vlad?

–

In Australian, a woman senator made history by being the first to breast-feed her baby during Parliament.  In the US, almost worth getting a young woman to run for Congress, just to see some GOP heads explode.

–

Personally I believe in free speech. But whoever thought #BetsyDeVos giving commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman was good idea? Flori-duh?

So how did #BetsyDeVos get asked to speak at Bethune Cookman? David Duke wasn’t available?

–

Jason Chaffetz wants the DOJ to look into Comey’s firing. Abundance of caution, or seeing drops of blood in the water? #Sharknado

There were young children still in the stands at Wrigley at 1a for the 18th inning of the Yankees Cubs game. Who says American parents have become soft?

–

Headlines on new French Pres.#Marcon being 39 & his wife 64. Funny, don’t remember election headlines on US Pres being 70 & his wife, 46.

–

So has Trump called Macron yet?

—

Who’s going to break bad news to @realDonaldTrump that Le Pen won’t be able to be bailed out by Electoral College? #frenchelection

–

Waiting for #SeanSpicer to talk about the great Le Pen victory in France today.

–

If the US can no longer be the most admired country in the world at least we can be a cautionary example?

–

Fans in #Nashville are shocked #Predators have made it to @NHL #WesternConferenceFinal The most common reaction “We have a hockey team?

–

So this is the year the @Cavs were supposed to be vulnerable in the Eastern Conference playoffs? @NBA

–

#Mets & #SFGiants play three games this week. Series should get really good ratings for fans of trainwrecks.

–

Right about now #SFGiants would let whole team each have a dozen sex toys in their lockers if they would just start playing better.

–

The latest from NY, Matt Harvey has been suspended for three days without pay for violating club rules. Who do the Mets think they are, the Knicks? #circusinsearchofatent

–

Headline “North Korea has detained a US citizen.” The real question, what is a US Citizen not named Dennis Rodman DOING in North Korea?

–

The lives of women in US killed either accidentally or deliberately by an illegal immigrant are now deemed so much more valuable by the GOP than those killed by lack of healthcare, random shootings, or domestic violence.

Sad. Really.  No joke.

–

Today Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a “sanctuary city” bill that will prevent cities from passing laws to stop police from questioning detainees’ immigration status. He cited the 2015 death of Kate Steinle, saying if the immigrant who shot her had been deported she would be alive today.
Fair enough, but where is Abbott’s sympathy for all those Americans fatally shot by people who were born right here in the U.S. of A.

Willie Mays’ birthday on the day day as the Kentucky Derby. Say hey, say neigh.

Congrats to Always Dreaming on winning the Kentucky Derby.  So here we go on the curve of “Almost zero interest in horse racing,” to “minor interest in horse racing until the Preakness” to  “zero interest until next year if he loses”  to major interest in horse racing if he wins until the Belmont.”

At this point #Warriors and #Cavs could coordinate plans for a brief tropical vacation before the @NBA finals.

–

Warriors fan celebration parties after tonight’s win against #Jazz show us what it might have been like for Lions fans against Christians.

–

KentuckyDerby -, fastest 2 minutes in sports. Entire race takes about as long as it takes #Dodgers Pedro Baez to throw a pitch.

–

Friday night, Ducks scored 3 goals on Oilers in last 4 min of NHL playoff game, then won in OT. Did Edmonton at least get sympathy call from Falcons?

–

Wonder what the record is for different left-fielders on the same team in a single season? Asking for a #SFGiants friend.

–

SF Giants hope to win last game of 3 game series in Cincinnati Sunday.  Or at least hold Reds to under two touchdowns.

If a horse looked as bad in #KentuckyDerby as #SFGiants look in Cincinnati there would be whispers of the glue factory

–

So think #StephenColbert really needs to get a Russian Orloff rooster and name him Holster.

–

A bill in the Texas legislature, would allow both private and STATE-FUNDED adoption agencies to reject Jewish, Muslim, gay, single, or interfaith couples for religious reasons.
Once again, four words “Pro life my ass.”

–

Ellen Degeneres won’t have Trump on show because “he’s against everything that I stand for.” Someone actually puts principles over ratings?

–

For all those who defend Trump & everything his family does, one question – would you be ok if it same thing with Obamas or Clintons?

–

Written on the eve of France’s elections, after a major Wikileaks exposure of purported Macron emails. Wouldn’t it be fun if the French decided to give Wikileaks a big middle finger and give Macron a bigger majority than predicted?

Now social media changes this, but France has a  44-hr legal media news blackout before elections.  So is some  Russian hacker getting fired or worse for not knowing.

San Antonio Spurs just won game 3 of best of 7 series on the road in Houston,  with a starting point guard,  Dejounte Murray, who isn’t old enough to order a   margarita on Cinco de Mayo. Somewhere in his hospital room Tony Parker is smiling.

–

Popovich tonight replaced injured 34 yr-old injured starting point guard w/ a 20 yr-old point guard. How can anyone say @Spurs are boring?

–

Re GOP members of Congress drinking margaritas to celebrate #CincoDeMayo For real Mexican experience can we handcuff them and demand to see proof of citizenship.

–

The GOP Congress is planning to introduce legislation to shrink presidential pensions, dollar for dollar, for any former President who collects more than $400,000 in income. Leaving aside the fact that they didn’t care what W. or Cheney made, sure hope they do the same for their OWN pensions.

–

LaVar Ball, asked about his $495 shoe price. “I figure that’s what the shoe is worth. When you are your own owner you can come up with any price you want.”
Right the same logic that means all those empty seats behind the Dodgers’ and Yankees’ dugouts.

–

Despite that long list of pre-existing conditions in new #Trumpcare bill, I notice GOP didn’t include hair loss nor erectile dysfunction.  I am sure it’s just a coincidence.

In airline staff training manuals, first page should now say in all caps “REMEMBER, EVERYONE HAS CELL PHONE VIDEOS NOW.”

North Korea is claiming there is a US ‘biochemical’ plot to kill Kim Jong Un. How silly, in American the best and the brightest scientists up to nefarious goals are busy working on undetectable PEDs. #Followthemoney

–

-.

FCC investigating #StephenColbert over using “cock” in a joke. Clearly next time Colbert should use genteel terms like “pussy grabber.”

And how long until Colbert borrows a London tube sign for Cockfosters.

–

Alaska State Rep. David Eastman, of Wasilla. on Medicaid covering abortions. “We have folks who try to get pregnant in this state so that they can get a free trip to the city, and we have folks who want to carry their baby past the point of being able to have an abortion in this state so that they can have a free trip to Seattle.”
#WTF is in the water in Wasilla? Seriously.

Coors Field.  April, 29.  Fortunately the Rockies were in Arizona.

–

#NFLdraft was still going live on ESPN through Saturday.  And you followed along for every single pick, you just might need an intervention.

–

“Wanna get away” award to the NFL network, for describing QB Chad Kelly, the last pick in this year’s draft, as a “fearless gunslinger.”
Among Kelly’s many off-field issues was a 2015 fight he got into with two bar bouncers, which resulted in a disorderly conduct plea deal. He reportedly stated “I’m going to go to my car and get my AK-47 and spray this place.”

–

So with all the stories on NFL teams “overlooking red flags” or “giving a young man a second chance,” too soon to start a pool on which troubled draft pick will be arrested next?

–

Well, for one night at least the #SFGiants HAD worked their way out of the NL West cellar. #Nicewhileitlasted

–

This Saturday, weekend work on a main runway meant San Francisco International Airport average flights were delayed about an hour. Translation, about normal.

–

Poor Simon, the giant rabbit who died after a United Airlines flight from London, apparently was accidentally shut in a freezer. And some of us thought United’s service to humans was cold.

–

Now there’s “gas station TV” at pump. So we’ve now become a country that can’t even stop looking at a screen for 5 minutes while we refuel?

–

–

Trump, unhappy with his lack of power. “You look at the rules of the Senate, even the rules of the House – but the rules of the Senate and some of the things you have to go through – it’s really a bad thing for the country, in my opinion. They’re archaic rules. And maybe at some point we’re going to have to take those rules on, because, for the good of the nation, things are going to have to be different.”
“Archaic rules.” Like you know, from the Constitution.

–

Trump: My trips to my golf clubs “cost almost nothing” Well, they cost HIM almost nothing.

–

Maybe media wouldn’t be so focused on “First 100 days” if Trump hadn’t proclaimed so loudly he’d have everything fixed by then.

–

Trump’s first objective tomorrow morning- trying to figure out how to deport #HasanMinhaj

–

Hasan Minhaj at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “Who would have thought that with everything going on in the country now, that a Muslim would be standing on this stage, for the 9th year in a row.”
Only problem, a lot of Americans will nod and go “We knew that.”

–

At Trump rally in Harrisburg, PA “I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from the Washington swamp.” Leaving aside the fact that Trump is usually further away on weekends in Mar-A-Lago, does he realize he’s now the head alligator?

Another draft thought from T.C.  “Cincinnati drafted Joe Mixon and presented him the customary ceremonial jersey on stage. They also gave him a Bengals full face guard helmet for his next girl friend.

–

Roger Goodell says the NFL sees no medical marijuana benefits,” and that pot “may not be healthy for players long-term.”  Was he speaking on way to league cocktail party?

–

Wizards and Celtics win, Jazz and Clippers go to game seven.   Although it does seem this NBA post-season that a lot of teams are spending a lot of energy to get smashed by the Warriors and Cavaliers.

–

New Bears QB Mitch Trubisky was greeted with some boos when he showed up at the Celtics-Bulls game in Chicago. Who did they think he was, Jay Cutler?

–

Leonard Fournette just said successful rookie season w/ Jaguars would be “going to Super Bowl.” So in his contract will Fournette demand tickets?

–

Florida-born Christian Arroyo, just called up this week,  hits game winning home run for SF Giants.  So add to team menagerie think we have a #BabyGator

–

Story has emerged that Reuben Foster was on phone with the Saints who planned to pick him at #32, when the 49ers picked him at #31. So prepare for New Orleans stories of “the one that got away” or “dodged that bullet.”

–

Ann Coulter spoke tonight in Modesto, and protests were peaceful.   Have to wonder, did Coulter cancel her speech in Berkeley not because it would have been interrupted by protesters, but because no one might have cared?

–

Bright side for liberals upset at Obama’s getting $400,000 for speeches as ex-president. Maybe such easy money will prompt Trump to resign?

–

Trump at NRA convention “The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end.”
Right, now that the “Obama will take your guns away” threat is gone, will Trump also take credit for layoffs at gun manufacturers and gun shops due to plummeting sales?

–

Tillerson wants to eliminate 2,300 State Dept jobs next year. But presumably they can all be re-employed in coal industry? #JobsJobsJobs!

Now, John Elway said he’d play baseball if he were drafted by the Colts. But other than that, anyone remember a player making a speech saying he was anything but happy to be a member of fill-in-the-blank NFL team?

–

A anti-“liquor wall” bill, pushed heavily by stores like Walmart. just passed the Florida legislature. This would end a rule that requires liquor to be sold separately from groceries and other retail items.
Great. So now Floridians can buy booze with their guns, what could possibly go wrong?

–

Trump appointed Charmaine Yoest, former president of “Americans United for Life” as assistant secretary of public affairs at HHS. Yoest is a staunch opponent of abortion and Planned Parenthood.
Look, nobody is “Pro-abortion,” but I would take some of these so-called “Pro-life” people more seriously if they also supported efforts to reduce unwanted pregnancies.

Two Stanford players taken in top 10. And before a single Alabama player. #McCaffrey #Thomas #NerdNation

–

It can be hard for a rookie QB out of college replacing a beloved franchise figure. Mitch Trubisky with Chicago Bears will not have that problem.

–

Raiders drafted Gareon Conley at #24, even though the cornerback  was accused of rape earlier this month. But maybe for long-time Raider fans it makes sense.   It it works out great, if not, Conley ends up being Las Vegas’s problem.

–

Overheard by a friend with her daughter at a SF Bay area formal wear store. Millennial walks in Friday afternoon at 3pm. Tells a salesperson, I’m supposed to pick up my dress tomorrow but I’m going to be busy so want to pick it up now.” Women politely tells her “it’s in process.” The response “Can you make it ready?”

–

Coca-Cola is fighting a lawsuit from a man who said he found a mouse in his Coke that if the animal really had been in the can it would have been “much more decomposed.”
So just imagine what the drink does to our stomachs. #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger?

–

Now #Delta under fire for removing passenger for bathroom emergency while plane on tarmac. Has someone told airlines about the concept of  cellphone video?

–

Thinking this Facebook top 10 band list isn’t really fair to those who came of age during the 60s. Because if you did the 60s right, you may not remember which bands you saw.

–

Ah, Michael Flynn is now Obama’s fault. Give Trump administration points for consistency.

–

Should we be surprised that an overly simplistic tax cut proposal comes from a President who sees world 140 characters at a time?

–

Wow, latest (&) longest tweetstorm from @realDonaldTrump puts all blame on Democrats. Amazed he couldn’t somehow include blame for Hillary.

Can understand Trump doesn’t particularly like Democrats, but he does realize GOP controls House and Senate?

–

Trump tax plan eliminates all deductions for state & local taxes. Does that mean entire Trump family will soon claim residency at Mar-A-Lago in Florida?

–

Trump is speaking before the NRA in Atlanta. No guns allowed though Georgia is an open carry state with a permit. Where are the protests?

Dr. David Dao has apparently reached an “amicable settlement” with United Airlines. Wonder how many rea$on$ they gave him to settle.

–

Apparently Obama will accept $400,000 to speak at a health care conference this year sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald. How dare he enrich himself after leaving the Presidency? A real leader would have enriched himself DURING his Presidency.

Bill Cosby says he is “completely blind,” Donald Trump said he thought being President “would be easier.” Time for a violin concert?

–

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin says Trump not releasing tax returns: Pres “has given more financial disclosure than anybody else” And he said it w/ straight face.

–

United says they will now offer up to $10,000 for volunteers on overbooked flights. Here’s, in all seriousness is a simple suggestion that would reduce their need to overbook: Stop having change fees of at least $200 for fares less than $200. The system encourages anyone with a really low fare ticket to just buy another ticket and not show up for the first one.

Plenty of NBA teams seem to be working awfully hard in tightly contested series for the eventual right to be destroyed by the Cavaliers and Warriors.

–

Denard Span is latest SF Giants player to go on DL. This isn’t a team, it’s a baseball version of survivor.

Who said #SFGiants fans would never get over seeing Romo in a Dodgers uniform?  (Christian Arroyo, first home run in the big leagues.)

And who knew a hanging slider could be such a thing of beauty?

–

28 years ago today Kevin Mitchell made his famous barehanded catch in the outfield. The way things are going this year, if Mitchell did it as a member of the 2017 SF Giants he’d probably have broken his hand.

–

ESPN is purging their big names so quickly that soon the faces on the network will be as recognizable as the average San Diego Padre.

Now Jayson Stark too?  Will the last person to leave ESPN in Bristol please turn out the lights? #WTF 

–

White House – call from Trump to Trudeau on tariffs was ‘very “amicable” Canada – “I do not think that word means what you think it means.

–

Marissa Mayer walking away from Yahoo with $186 million. Imagine how much she’d have made if she actually did a competent job.

–

“Silence of the Lambs” director #JonathanDemme has passed away. At his funeral will they be serving fava beans, liver, & a nice Chianti?

–

So some in GOP want to do away with mandatory calorie labeling at chain restaurants. Excessive regulation? Maybe. But at a Friday’s tonight (long story) and how many people would guess that chicken caesar with kale has more calories than a 8 ounce steak with potatoes and broccoli. Or than fried shrimp? And that a veggie cheeseburger with avocado has more calories than a meat one?

–

Trump told the Washington Examiner he is “absolutely” thinking about breaking up the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Guessing someone skipped class on 3 branches of government.

15-9 in the 8th between Nationals and Rockies. Do you even have to ask if the game is at Coors Field?

–

Tonight’s game in Denver featured a 15-5 lead for #Nationals in 7th turns into 15-12 win over #Rockies. Maybe time for rule change – 6 run or less lead is Coors Field save?

If MLB wants to speed up games maybe they should cancel bottom of 9th when #SFGiants are home. Giants don’t use it anyway.

(Last time the Giants came back when trailing in the 9th was 2015.  Seriously.)

–

So  SF Giants get just one run against Kershaw after a leadoff double by… Ty Blach? Guess he takes this filling in for Madbum seriously.   Although today the Giants might have missed Bumgarner’s bat more than his arm.

–

Shouldn’t getting your first major league hit off Clayton Kershaw count double? #ChristianArroyo #SFGiants

–

10 pts -for Vince Carter & Manu Ginobili. 16 for Tony Parker. On Tim Duncan’s 41th birthday. So w/ Grizzlies & Spurs, tonight WAS a country for old men

–

In an April of misery for the #SFGiants at least Santiago Casilla blew the save for someone else. #As

–

So will the Miami baseball team now be known as the “Marlins!”?  #JebBush

(my friend Al Quint says instead of “Let’s Go Marlins” the scoreboard will urge “Please Clap.”)

–

#Nordstrom is selling jeans with fake mud on them for $425. So at Nordstrom Rack do they just put real mud on jeans & sell them for $200?

–

Serena Williams said that photo announcing her pregnancy was shared on Snapchat by accident. “On social media, you press the wrong button and… ”
And a lot of us in the clumsier less-high tech generation are smiling.

–

Apparently three Islamic State militants in northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, Yeah, guess pork really is dangerous

–

Former ‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules has been arrested for an alleged fatal hit-and-run collision in Iowa last night. And gals, he’s still single.

–

There is a certain logic in Trump’s picking fights with Canada. At least he knows they won’t nuke us

Police say projected 1st round draft pick Gareon Conley from Ohio State has been accused by a woman of raping her in a Cleveland hotel earlier this month.
Conley says he is innocent and has witnesses. And it IS innocent until proven guilty. But just maybe if you’re approaching an NFL draft that might be one of the most important events of your life, it might be a good idea either to stay home or just hang out with friends you know?

–

Trump during his Holocaust Remembrance speech said “we’ll never be silent, we just won’t, in the face of evil again.”
Of course crickets on the subject of Anne Frank’s family being repeatedly turned down for U.S. refugee visas.

–

How long until Trump starts accusing any reports on Michael Flynn’s tenure with his campaign and administration as #Fakenews?

–

#IvankaTrump may be getting booed. But unlike her father she’s actually traveling overseas.

–

SF judge ruled against Trump’s sanctuary city funding ban. After that “island in the Pacific” comment can’t wait to see what AG Jeff Sessions calls San Francisco.

–

The World Trade Organization just ruled in Mexico’s favor in a trade dispute over tuna. Anti-WTO Trump tweets in 3.2.1…

–

New poll shows only 32% of millennials approve of Trump’s performance. Maybe some of them will get mad enough actually to vote next time?
