E-Board Take

This MLBer finished his career with 632 doubles (12th all-time career doubles list), 541 dingers (17th all-time career dingers list) and 1,768 RBIs (24th all-time career RBIs list) – who am I talking about?

The Chron E-Board today passed over endorsing State Senate District 13 incumbent State Sen. Borris Miles today and endorsed challenger Melissa Morris. Here is from the E-Board take:

While Miles has more than a decade of legislative experience — he represented State House District 146 before being elected to the state senate in 2016 — he also brings a pattern of behavior that led us to endorse his opponent in 2016. At the time, we cited a 2008 incident for which he was indicted and later acquitted of flashing a gun and threatening the host of a holiday party. He was also accused of forcibly kissing a married woman on the mouth. In 2016, the Chronicle also reported that Miles repeatedly failed to disclose his business interests in three companies as state law requires. Only after the newspaper inquired about the omissions did he filed amended reports.

It is time for a fresh voice and clean slate. We recommend Melissa Morris for State Senate 13.

Ouch! Ouch! Oh, well.

This is the fourth day of Early Voting in Person and the E-Board has still not endorsed in the Democratic Party Primary race for U.S. Senator.

The GOP can say all they want about Sen. Bernie Sanders, but their guy doesn’t look too good this morning with Roger Stone and the DNI stuff out there.

Speaking of Sen. Bernie Sanders, if he’s the nominee, Commentary is all in, but please, don’t make up new rules as we go along. We are a long way from Tipperary, whoever gets 1,991 pledged delegates first wins the nomination, not whoever has the most delegates heading into the National Convention.

Big Papi said this about Mike Fiers:

I’m mad at [Fiers]. After you make your money and you get your ring, you decide to talk about it? Why didn’t you talk about it during the season when it was going on? Why didn’t you say ‘I don’t want no part of this.’ Now, you look like a snitch.”

Can’t argue with that.

Big Papi finished his career with 632 doubles (12th all-time career doubles list), 541 dingers (17th all-time career dingers list) and 1,768 RBIs (24th all-time career RBIs list), of course.

The Astros play their first Spring Training game against the Nationals tomorrow. Oh, yeah, the same team that beat us in Game 7 at The Yard last season.
