Andre Iguodala, 39, is in #Warriors starting lineup. That means starters have a combined 19 championships: Curry, Klay, Dray, Iggy all have 4, Looney 3. And yet they'll probably still lose to Memphis, even though Memphis is without Ja, because Warriors don't play D on the road.

My story in @Sierra_Magazine about the staggering damage leaf blowers do: to the environment & to our health. In Calif, lawn equipment spews as much pollution as cars do. Leaf blowers cause dramatic increases in cancer and hearing loss in the gardeners. sierraclub.org/sierra/califor…

Last time the Giants won 106 games was 1904 when the team was in NY; they won the National League but snubbed the World Series. Players and fans were furious but the Giants wouldn't budge. Here's why: michael-shapiro.medium.com/the-year-the-g… Tonight the Giants go for win 106! #SFGiants #MLB
