Every stutter, fumble or misspeak from Biden was instant grist for the mill for an entire news cycle. This guy just spews endless gibberish and the media shrugs

It wouldn’t be a 2026 #SFGiants game without the reliever giving up the lead with 2 outs in the 9th.

Disappointing garden this year, but did bring on some jalapeños. Perfect for poppers on the Last Game

So weird. I’m just puttering around the house with Kruk & Kuipe’s easy call of the game providing the usual soothing background like something we can always count on, as if this isn’t Kruk’s last game 🥹

I don’t blame Vitello for getting run there. That was a total swing. Every check swing call In this park is now measured by Wilmer Flores/Gabe Morales—especially when the Bums are in town

Not sure if it’s a matter of better or worse, but things are just different now. Trade-offs. Radio, like TV, used to be free. But you were stuck, listening to the same songs over and over again even if they were shitty. now you can select your own experience, at a cost to be sure, but worth it.

lol U$C finally sold out the house, took out Oregon’s QB with a dirty hit, and they’re still getting curb stomped. Good. Nothing but misery to the program that blew up the Pac 12 just because they could

Retires the top of that vaunted Dodger lineup in order. Well, Welcome back, Camillo. And good to see you got that whole pitch clock thing figured out.

Beats a Blake Snell change up to reach 1st. Steals 2d. Steals 3d easily. Scores on a nice sac fly to center. Jonah Cox is just pure baseball

Yeah, it’s the Dodgers at full strength while the Giants are basically emptying their farm system. Yeah the park looks like it’s at least half full of dodger fans. But it’s the last series of the year and the last games of Mike Krukow’s storied career. So I’m watching. football can wait a week.

It is wild. People voted to make kamala pay, to force her to feel all the pain and all the damage. And she seems fine. 100 percent totally fine in every way. Maybe a little sad she lost. But EVERY community those folks "claim" to support has been CRUSHED by trump. Who really paid?

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY
