@MarcosBreton @rob40cal @SFGiants The ‘78 Giants won 89 games featuring a brash right fielder named Jack Clark and an energized Vida Blue.

@rob40cal @MarcosBreton @SFGiants At the 2016 ASB, the Giants had the best record in MLB. Since that time, they’ve cratered (the ‘21 season was an outlier). That’s a decade of bad baseball, something I hadn’t encountered in more than 40 years of fandom.

@incitafusio Which candidate has executive experience? Just one.

@timkawakami And we’re left with the appalling spectacle of the “Athletics” temporarily playing in a minor league ballpark that hits scorching summer temperatures.

@nickmasondrums What they did with See Emily Play was electric.

@MikeyAdams420 @Dan_Shaughnessy @MLB Okay, I want the Sox wearing that uniform instead of those ghastly city connect jerseys.

@TheRickWilson To be honest, the GOP’s been cratering for the last 30 years.

[Gary Pitzer @GaryPitzer]

@TheRickWilson @madrid_mike The GOP broke after Mitt Romney lost in 2012.

@pinkfloyd An amazingly jovial portrait of a carefree ensemble before the dissension crept in.
