An exciting win for the Sharks @sanjosesharks, coming back late to put down the Canucks the other night. it started a little more positive for the Canucks @canucks and also notably I didn’t get hit in the face. Win!

Kimi put on a show in Austin this past weekend – looking forward to hopefully seeing him win in Mexico.

Pretty awesome opening night skate off(?) overtime win by the Sharks @sanjosesharks against the Florida Panthers @flapanthers. Looking forward to a great hockey season.

Giants @sfgiants almost pulled it back for a win on the back of a stunning Rafael Devers @rafael.devers grand slam, but couldn’t get past the Padres @padres ultimately and left 3 on base in the 9th. Tough one.

Heading back to Oracle tomorrow and realized I never posted this recent elusive Giants win over the Reds.

Back in SF for a day and shot the struggling Giants @sfgiants as they lost a lead with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to let the Astros @astros win by 3 in 10. Some signs of life, though, so hopefully 2027 works out a bit better (assuming we get a 2027 season).

Congratulations España. You made us all love the game of football even more.

It’s all been covered at this point, but Sunday was a tough day at the office for Argentina. Basically stuffed by a swarming and ubiquitous Spanish defense, Messi @leomessi was frustrated, the Argentinian fans were frustrated, and we all saw that play out for 120’. Super great tournament and some magical moments but the final wasn’t theirs.

Tough one for the Giants @sfgiants on Tuesday. Especially when you start off by giving up a 3-run home run and then it basically gets worse from there. The Blue Jays @bluejays brought it home on a typical freezing summer night for baseball in San Francisco. @imagncontent

At the USA game, fans came fully outfitted in the red, white and blue, supporting the team but also ready for a well-timed early 4th of July celebration.

Happy Birthday America. I knew you when you were just 200, and my how you’ve grown. :)

Dominant performance with two excellent goals 2-0 from the USA over a struggling Bosnia and Herzegovina team. Excellent spirit from this squad, which hopefully will carry some momentum into Monday’s game against a beatable Belgium.

Great privilege to shoot an aggressive 0-0 tie between Australia and Paraguay where both teams felt like they won (because they’ll both likely advance). Was fun to see the Socceroos in action and hope to be back in Santa Clara for the US game next week.
