Milestones

July 8, 2011

Okay, who expected this? San Francisco fans on their feet Thursday night at A T and T Park for Barry Zito. (Without tar and feathers.)

 

Giants fans, it could be worse. Many thought the team should have signed slugger Adam  Dunn.  Dunn is now hitting .163 for the Chicago White Sox.

–

Ringo Starr turned 71 Thursday. He’s still a good musician but the lyrics have changed a bit. For example “There are places I used to remember, in my life….”-

–

Meanwhile, Hall of Fame baseball manager Dick Williams died Thursday at the age of 82. At least he lived to see that “nice young man” Jack McKeon become manager of the Marlins.

–

Apparently in Charlie Sheen’s next TV show he will play an anger management counselor. Really? That seems about as fitting as Casey Anthony being named “Mother of the Year.”

–

Kim Kardashian said the Casey Anthony verdict left her “speechless” and is upset because she feels a guilty killer will be walking free. Even Michele Bachmann is thinking “Girl, you have NO sense of history.”

–

Casey Anthony will be freed from jail in six days. And guess what guys, she’s single. (My father adds “Plus no need to worry about supporting step-children.”)

–

In his first two appearances since taking on a Gatorade cooler in Detroit, the Giants’ Brian Wilson pitched two scoreless innings Wednesday  (including striking out the side in his second inning of work, and pitched a perfect ninth Thursday.

Maybe squaring up a cooler will become part of his warmup exercises.

(T.C. says maybe Wilson should take on batting coach duties too.  For anyone who hasn’t seen the video, it was a pretty good hit.)

–

John Boehner says there’s a 50-50 chance of a deal on the debt ceiling this week. And a 100 percent chance he will cry about the result either way.

–

New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who led the Catholic Church’s fight against gay marriage in the state, says he’s worried that the next step in the marriage debate will be another redefinition to allow multiple partners and infidelity. Yeah, anything to avoid talking about pedophilia.

–

Bill Clinton is comparing efforts by Republicans to change voting laws in many states to the old Jim Crow laws and poll taxes which once disenfranchised African American voters. Not true, responded a GOP spokesman; we are trying to disenfranchise all Democrats equally.

We interrupt this blog for the Casey Anthony verdict…

July 6, 2011

The whole story isn’t really funny, but a little gallows humor might be in order. And even if it isn’t….

–

Amazing acquittal in Florida. Of course, maybe it makes sense – this circus has dragged on so long that Casey Anthony now may qualify as a celebrity.

 

The television commentators were surprised that Anthony’s defense team didn’t move for her immediate release for time served.   But in their defense, the only motion they probably had ready was one for an appeal.

–

–

So how long until Casey Anthony can go back out clubbing?

–

Maybe years from now they can get Casey convicted for stealing something in Las Vegas.

 

Scariest thought on the Casey Anthony case. The way they are closing Planned Parenthood clinics, this young woman may have another baby soon.

–

And another sick thought.  Florida is a truly bizarre place. The state currently has some very tight restrictions on abortion. If, however, you want to have the baby and kill it later….

–

Roger Clemens’ perjury trial begins Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Unless his lawyers are successful in a last minute effort to get the trial moved to Florida.

–

Meanwhile, while the nation processes the Casey Anthony verdict, we have this trivial little matter coming up about the debt ceiling and whether or not the U.S. might default on our government bonds.

–

But back to less depressing matters….

The Wall Street Journal points out that only one San Francisco Giant, Aubrey Huff, is on pace for at least 50 RBIs this year. Most Giants fans who watch the team regularly are pretty shocked by that stat. They can’t imagine anyone on this team will have 50 RBIs.

–

While in Canada’s Northwest Territories, Prince William of England made his first attempt at playing hockey. In a street game with local kids, the Prince took three unobstructed shots during a street game with local youths, but was unable to get the puck in the net. On the brighter side, afterwards, William was made an honorary Toronto Maple Leaf.

–

A Stanford study shows that athletes’ performance improves when they sleep 10 hours of more a night. The SEC is interested in these results, and as far as giving their athletes more opportunities to sleep, may start encouraging them to go to class.

–

Weird question of the day. What does the Queen of England sing during their National Anthem? “God save myself?”
