Say hey

July 9, 2024

Great moment from celebration of life for Willie Mays, where former President Bill Clinton attended and told stories as a fan boy, was Barack Obama. appearing in a video, and talking about inviting Willie to ride with him on Air Force One on the way to the All-Star Game in St. Louis. “Everybody was just passing me by. ‘Can I get you something Mr. Mays?’

Heliot Ramos first was called up to play centerfield for SF Giants on May 8, two days after Willie Mays’ 93rd birthday. He went 1-4 with an RBI.

At the game at Rickwood Field he made a catch that would have made Willie proud.

Now the 24 year old centerfielder in 2024 has been named an MLB All-Star,

Former LA Dodger Raúl Mondesi ,accused of embezzling $5 million, was sentenced by Dominican court to 6 years 9 months in jail & fined $507,000 for corruption as mayor in city of San Cristobal.

Silly Mondesi. Had he just stayed in US he could have run for office as a Republican.

If you didn’t already love Lawrence O’Donnell –

Tonight in response to a dishonest NY Times story about a neurologist visiting the White House

“The NY Times is wrong.”

Why is that so hard for most pundits to say?

For example -Here the NY Times goes again: “Following Trump’s Lead, G.O.P. Adopts Platform Softening Stance on Abortion.”

Uh, the so-called “softened” stance GOP just adopted condemns, as Amy Klobuchar reminded us, “ONE THIRD of women of reproductive age (in US) to live under extreme & dangerous bans.”

NY Times has a headline story today “In the aging Senate, nobody wants to be the one to nudge President Biden aside.” Story uses phrase ” the president’s feeble candidacy.”

Why not “In GOP Senate, no one wants to nudge 2020 loser & aging convicted felon Donald Trump aside?”

Why isn’t media questioning Trump’s not doing public appearances since the debate as a possible sign of his exhaustion and being too old to run for President? Asking for a country.

And not just asking for OUR country

Media claims “stunning upset ” in French election. “Stunning upset” is easier than saying ‘We were wrong.”

Stephen Colbert with a truth the supposed actual media isn’t talking about. “In the debate, Trump proved demonstrably that he is a monster.”

And the in the so-called family values and so-called pro-life GOP, Republicans are strangely silent about both the release of Epstein files accusing Trump of raping a child, and Donald’s good friend Vladimir Putin bombing a children’s hospital in Kiev.

Is there ANYONE who cares what Van Jones thinks?

So young…

Someone asked me when I became an SF Giants fan.

The answer was 1986. Thompson, Uribe, Clark.

And Will Clark just posted this picture from May 1, 1986.

Willie Mays would have appreciated the SF Giants gritty effort to come back from a 6-1 deficit today to only lose 6-5, as a former Giant he’d probably have more enjoyed the Dodgers walk-off loss to the Colorado Rockiets and the NY Yankees 10 inning loss to the Orioles.

Former Stanford star & now Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink tore her ACL, today. Earlier this month Brink was named to four-member U.S. women’s 3×3 team for Paris Olympics so must be replaced.

Have never watched 3×3 basketball so don’t really care. And apparently per friends you need to be really tall.. But let the Caitlin Clark controversy begin again….

Edmonton Oilers are now one win away from forcing a game seven in the Stanley Cup finals…. Yeah, still long odds. But it’s been such a long drought – 1993 – since a Canadian team won.

If the Oilers do come back could they thank Trump for basically congratulating the Panthers after they went up 3-0?

Donald Trump fills up a black church with white supporters – supposedly to show his connection to the black community.

But can’t be bothered to say or post a worth on Juneteenth. Make it make sense.

Okay, the RNC has told reporters who want access they can’t ask Donald Trump about 2020 elections at RNC convention.

Can they ask how he feels about the Ten Commandments which Louisiana is posting? Special emphasis on #6 (adultery) & #9 (coveting thy neighbor’s wife.)

“I did try to f**k her. But she was married…”

Rmember those commercials “Is it live or is it Memorex?”

Today it’s “Is it NY Times Pitchbot (satire) or is it a real NY Times headline.” This is latter.

Front page. “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. keeps ravens as wild pets. They’re better behaved than a jealous emu that attacked his wife.”


So has Donald Trump joined Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un’s alliance yet?


As of Tuesday, 110 days had passed since SCOTUS court agreed to hear the Trump immunity case. And still no decision. Almost as if Donald told them to delay it.
