Giant attitude.

April 18, 2015

And of course two weeks into the season didn’t we all have the ‪#‎SFGiants‬ ace being ‪#‎ChrisHeston‬?

–

Is it too soon to nominate ‪#‎ChrisHeston‬ as NL Rookie of the Year? ‪#‎SFGiants‬

–

The SF Giants have placed pitcher Jake Peavy on the DL for a back strain. Wonder if Peavy strained it by turning around so often to watch where balls hit off him were going.

 

–

Last night Pablo Sandoval “barreled” (ESPN’s word) into Baltimore 2B Jonathan Schoop trying to break up a double play. Today the O’s put Schoop on the DL with a partially torn PCL and, sprained MCL.

Panda isn’t making himself too popular with any fans wearing Orange and Black.

–

Pete Rose has been hired as a guest studio analyst for Fox. No word on how much the network is paying him. Or on how much Rose made for betting someone would offer him a baseball-oriented job.

–

As if we needed proof that in some parts of the US, the state bird is the football: Ohio State drew over 99,000 fans today. For a Spring intra-squad scrimmage game.

–

Many celebrities today at various Earth Day rallies. Wonder how many arrived on private planes?

–

Carly Fiorina is the latest “maybe” entrant in the 2016 race. “I will probably be running for president in a few short weeks.” All these indecisive people…. are they waiting to see if they can hire as a campaign manager Brett Favre?

 

Fiorina also says that if she gets in the race, she can block  Hillary Clinton from playing the “gender card.”  Alas, with her record at HP Carly can’t block Hillary from playing the “halfway competent” card.

–

Rand Paul today said the GOP needs to “tax cuts to help poor people.” Sort of like fighting wars for peace?

–

Kendall Schier, originally credited with being the woman winner of the this week’s St. Louis Marathon, was stripped of her victory because officials found she actually joined the race after the last checkpoint. And a new generation learns the name “Rosie Ruiz.”

–

After the Wizards’ Paul Pierce said the Raptors didn’t have “it”, the Toronto fans and media have been all over him. The Sun newspaper in fact had a picture of Pierce as Gandalf, the OLD Wizard. Did the Sun forget? Gandalf knew about getting rings.

–

So has ‪#‎ARod‬ really gotten his swing back? Or has he just found an undetectable PED?

Happy Earth Day.

April 22, 2011

Millions of Americans are saying they will not drive their cars to celebrate Earth Day. Well, it sounds better than saying they can’t afford gas.

–

And in Cleveland, many will celebrate Earth Day by burying Lebron James jerseys six feet under.

–

A data center run by Amazon.com crashed Thursday, causing problems not only at Amazon, but many websites and Internet services like Foursquare, Hootsuite (a Twitter dashboard) and Reddit which rely on AWS (Amazon Web Services.) It was awful, many Americans actually had no alternative but to do their work.

–

Okay, I must have missed something. Where in the rules for the playoff series between the Sharks and the Kings was the line that said goalies should take the second period off?

–

Mike Leake, arrested for shoplifting Monday, nonetheless started and got the win for the Reds Thursday afternoon. If this keeps up Leake could end up being the best sticky-fingered pitcher since Gaylord Perry.

–

Bud Selig has announced that MLB playoffs will probably expand from eight to ten teams in 2012. The only holdup for now, trying to figure out how to guarantee that those ten teams will always include the Red Sox and Yankees.

–

Meghan McCain interviewed Donald Trump, who told her “I like you and I like your father, I’ll tell you. And I like your mother. I like your whole family.” Well, makes sense that the Donald would like Meghan. She’s about the right age to be his next wife.

–

I am not generally a fan of country music, and I am never a fan of the Dodgers. But still, it’s cool that American Idol contestant Scotty McCreery, 17, a North Carolina native, was thrilled and impressed to meet Tommy Lasorda.

–

Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside,  have been banned from importation into the United States,” and can be confiscated by Customs.

The reason, because they contain an embedded “non-nutritive object.”  Uh, doesn’t that describe most fillings at Taco Bell.

–

Yet another candidate has announced for the GOP presidential nomination – former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Johnson, who leans libertarian, supports gay marriage, abortion rights and legalizing marijuana. He also wants to slash 90 percent of the defense budget. This could be becoming a primary debate I’d pay to watch.
