Left Coast Sports Babe

And yes, tell me again how billionaire sports owners need tax cuts.

Best thing about the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Yamamoto.

In 2024, fans of 28 other teams will join SF Giants fans in considering the Dodgers the most hated team in Major League Baseball.

–

And we all know, if some team like the Giants or the Astros or the Mariners had pulled off this deal for the deferred contracts etc, that MLB would try to invalidate the deal. Manfred wants a Dodgers-Yankees World Series.

–

On the other hand, It’s all going to be worth it when the Dodgers flame out in the NLDS or NLCS…

–

Is there a team in the NFL that has done a better or I should say worse, job week after week of “messing” with their fans’ emotions than the New Orleans Saints? Never count them as winners, never count them out.

(Bad game, got down over 20 points, and still came within 8 points with about 4 minutes to go…)

Fox News headline “Pete Buttigieg runs up tens of thousands of dollars on taxpayers’ tab flying on jets.”

Actual story says Buttigieg spent $59,000 on government planes from Aug 2021 to June 2023 per IG audit. And the DOT says these were times when schedule/security made that that less expensive option.

Fox had no issues when Elaine Chao spent over $93,000 in 2017 ALONE

Florida AG Ashley Moody claiming state’s public school libraries are “forum for government speech” & “not a forum for free expression.” State now “leads”with more than 40 percent of banned books in USA. Flori-DUH jokes are funny, but what’s happening to Florida education isn’t.

How do some of these would be Presidents in GOP primary expect us to think they’d stand up to our enemies? They can’t even stand up to loser Donald Trump.

–

Not that long ago Rudy Giuliani,despite his many flaws, was a wealthy man with a very comfortable life. Even if Joe Biden did say all Rudy’s sentences have a “noun, a verb and 9-11.” And he threw it all away. #ETTD

–

Remember if you have MAGA friends/family screaming about Colorado: “Six Republican & unaffiliated Colorado voters filed a lawsuit in Sept. alleging that Trump’s actions in relation to the Jan. 6 attack on U.S. Capitol disqualify him from office under 14th Amendment.”

–

Know many people of various ages, genders, races, who are quite happy they voted for President Biden & will vote for Joe again. Some admit he’s exceeded expectations. Why can’t media ever interview people like that? Or more to the point, show or write about THOSE interviews?

–

Didn’t realize Barry Manilow is also 80 years old. Add him to the list of musicians – Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson etc, who should perform at President Biden’s second inauguation.

–

Here we go again CNN. President Biden gets a complicated foreign policy success with prisoner swap with Venezuela, bringing 10 Americans home. And part of CNN story is complaints Joe isn’t also making a deal to bring home someone from Russia.

–

GOP now saying “let the voters decide” about Trump on a ballot. But when the voters decide… for reproductive rights, for voting rights, for gun laws… GOP wants to take it to the courts. Make it make sense.

Got a fundraising request from California Democrats for the race for Kevin McCarthy’s seat. Uh, district is R+16!. My late Aunt who lived in Ridgecrest, part of that district, used to say “There are 50 Democrats in town, I know them all, how many friends do you need? Make your donations wisely.
