The ridiculous cost of commercial real estate, for one. I'd have to think #athletics and the city could woo companies to build there. Need for more affordable housing, and @mlb now sees how teams can generate revenue with dining/drinking/entertainment venues in the ...
@MLB ... ballpark villages that the league and teams want around each park. The #braves did it in a non-downtown area (albeit a more well-to-do area). But this is where tax breaks can be palatable. Many cities, counties and states woo business with tax incentives. The public can ...
@MLB ... be sold on these, I think, if they understand the revenue they can generate. Even the A's should get consideration for tax-increment financing (public money funded by taxes that increased development generates). But do it in an area that needs development -- not one ...
@MLB ... that could have deleterious effects on a very profitable port, and won't require fans to hop train tracks or ride gondolas to get there.

OK, @davekaval, you're about to get some truth from a long-time member of the "SF Media." But I also got my metro newspaper start with seven years at the Oakland Tribune. I lived in Berkeley when I went to Cal and in the East Bay for all but nine of the 42 years ...
... I have been in NorCal. I have some standing here. I've been here almost as long you've and I've seen more than you, and I have to say I have never witnessed a more incompetent attempt to secure a new ballpark than what I've seen with you. First, I would have thought ...
... after the Laney College fiasco that whatever came next, you would have had your ducks in a row BEFORE your stadium and financing plan. But the city of Oakland pushed back the day you proffered your Howard Terminal plan because of the public money. Actually, I understand ...

Dr. Sarah Cody prevented more COVID deaths in the United States than any single individual and her reward has been death threats and idiotic comments from people like this. We really do live in the Dumbest Country on Earth™️. Get your priorities straight.
Dr. Cody’s job is not to worry about your precious baby’s completion percentage. San Jose St.’s football team spat in her face and violated the health orders right and left ahead of its bowl game. The results? A COVID outbreak among coaches and players.
And don’t get me started on those Calvary Church assholes. I wish Jesus would return now for Sermon on the Mount II and tell all these churches, “Hey, morons. Did I cure lepers and comfort the afflicted? Or did I say, “Make more people get sick and die in my name?”

Every protagonist needs an antagonist, every cheering fan someone to boo. Speaking from a San Francisco perspective, I submit that Tommy Lasorda was a perfect foil, and not because he was a bad guy. Quite the opposite, as a man who began his #dodgers career in Brooklyn ....
.... at a time when the #dodgers and Giants did hate one another, Lasorda was loyal to his colors but understood what the rivalry became on a much mellower coast. Hatred? Not like in New York. A disdain that extended beyond the teams toward the other teams’ cities? Yeah....
.... a bit more like that. As the decades rolled on, Lasorda understood that in true Hollywood fashion he was assaying a role in a play. He knew he was the foil and he milked it. Even #sfgiants fans who say they despised him came to respect how he played it, while .....

So a week ago, my mom needed to be rushed by ambulance to the ER. She’s 88 and lives in LA County. I won’t bury the lede. She was diagnosed with an infection in sent home so she wasn’t going to need an ICU bed. But here’s how the night went. .... 1/x
.... The ambulance had to bypass the large hospital near my mother’s apartment because the ER was full. They took her to a more distant and much smaller hospital, which was also full. Because of Covid, my sister could not go into the ER area to comfort her and ask .... 2/x
.... the doctor questions. But that proved to be a moot point. The ER was so full of Covid patients, my mom had to be triaged, have blood and urine drawn, and wait for a doctor for several hours WHILE LYING IN THE AMBULANCE. No heat, and no matter how many blankets they ... 3/x

Your basic two-part STS (Stick to Sports) analysis of why Biden won:

1. Coronavirus
2. Trump's chickens coming home to roost after five years of insults and horrible comments. To wit:

a) He ripped venerated John Lewis and Lewis' Georgia "crime-ridden" district. If Biden...1/4
.... holds on in Georgia, Lewis' district in Clayton County will be the difference.

b) Trump constantly shredded cities, especially those with large Black populations like Philly, as anarchist-run zoos. It backfired. Black people came through in big numbers (in no small ... 2/4
... part because of Stacey Abrams, BTW). And voters in suburban Atlanta, Philly, elsewhere rolled their eyes at Trump's dog-whistled claims that Biden would stick Black projects in their neighborhoods, and voted heavily blue.

c) After years of insulting Native Americans ... 3/4

Thirteen-tweet thread on coronavirus and the thoughts of one member of the #SFGiants in 4..3..2..1... Fair warning to skip it if you're not interested in my thoughts on the matter.....
...However, a few folks yesterday did ask me for my thoughts on this tweet from @Evan3Longoria the other day.
... My first thought is that he had it backwards. It should have said, "I love seeing people out enjoying life without masks, but obviously I want everyone safe." Truth is, COVID rates are soaring, with the worst states being those that shun masks and distancing. I want to ...
