I’ve been spending more time on Twitter during the World Series. It’s a way to kill time while managers Terry Francona and Joe Maddon change pitchers 96 times per game, which, in turn, causes me to cry 96 Tears:
Enough about baseball overmanaging a subject that only Doc, Linkmeister and I care about, on to some random political tweets. I usually post them one at a time but I’m working on something long so this is a good way to kick the can down the road.
Speaking of road movies, Thelma & Louise star and Lefty purist pain in the ass Susan Sarandon endorsed the Crunchy Granola Machiavelli, Jill Stein yesterday. That inspired this, uh, inspired tweet:
Susan Sarandon gazes meaningfully at Jill Stein. They clasp hands as the car accelerates into the canyon. Their personal nightmare is over.

Sounds like what will happen to the country if the Insult Comedian is elected. I don’t know who this Daniel dude is but he won the internet yesterday with that Thelma & Louise tweet. He looks pretty young so I guess he’s not the guy in the Elton John-Bernie Taupin song.
We continue with a tweet from comedian George Wallace who is so not the former Alabama Governor:

Mondeydiaper McStupid is a new one on me. Since I have a First Draft fuck quota to meet, I’ll call a motherfucker a motherfucker. I hope George wasn’t talking about teevee sleuth Jessica Fletcher. Now that I think of it, Angela Lansbury played the conniving Commie mommy in the original Manchurian Candidate, which Keith Olbermann referred to in this tweet:

Team Trump is trying to steal Michigan, a state the GOP hasn’t won since 1988. Willard Mittbot Romney tried the same thing in 2012 but he grew up in the land of Reagan Democrats so it made some sense. Here’s Team Trump’s “uplifting” billboard:

Stay classy, GOP. I’ll give myself the last word with this trolling of two of the MSM’s worst:

Oops. Here’s the embedded tweet:

Uh oh, guess that makes me a last word liar yet again. So it goes.
You are spending your time better with the CLE/CHC series, although given that Joe Buck is announcing, you probably are getting just as stupid as if you watched the election news.
And Francona has a reason to change pitchers that often: He doesn’t HAVE a starting rotation. It’s Kluber and two guys named Joe. The bullpen is where he wins or loses and he’s been doing great there. Maddon? I have no idea what he was doing with Chapman last night. That’s a change that should have never happened. He might need the guy tonight.
I want to see the Sid Miller tweet hung around his and Trump’s neck like a rotting turkey carcass from now until Election Day 2020. UCKERS.
