Remarkable Giants catcher Buster Posey is a dad! And, best of all, he's the proud father of twins. Via his Facebook page, he writes: "I'm officially a dad!! Kristen and I are pleased to announce the arrival of the Posey twins...Lee Dempsey and Addison Lynn. Everyone is doing great and thanks for all of the well wishes!"

SFist wishes Buster and Kristen all the best. (Twins, as we know all too well, are quite the handful.)

As you may recall, the famed 24-year-old player was knocked out for the season after colliding with Scott Cousins, which resulted in a broken leg and torn ligaments.

Mayor Gavin Newsom sent out his latest exploratory missive about running for Governor for the state of California. Yay.

Newsom starts out declaring, "When I first started talking to friends and family about running for Governor, I was excited at how much enthusiasm there was for the idea." Which? Might not be the truth. That is, if you go by what a few "insiders" claim about Gavin, that he loathes being in politics, this enthusiasm just isn't the case. Then again, who wouldn't be high on the power and attention politics brings? He's in an envious and addictive position. How could he not love it?

Anyway, the best part of this latest burst of exploratoriness, as SF Weekly and SFBG have already noted, is that even his father is meh on the notion of his son running the Golden State. (Perspective time: Newom is still miles better than Arnold or eBAY blondie.) Check it out:

That’s why I was a little taken aback when I asked my father what he thought. Without hesitation the man whose opinion I value most came out and said it:

"Don’t do it Gavin."

I think my father must have seen my face - because he immediately said - "Of course I think you would do a great job - it’s just that nobody is going to be able to solve the state's problems. I don’t want to see you fail in a job that's impossible to do right now.”

This is, almost word for word, the same speech our father gave us when we carelessly tried out for the football team.

Newsom goes on to say, "I hope all of you get a chance to meet my dad. He is the smartest, toughest and most caring person I know."

Gavin, we're open most of next week, name the time and place!

Located in the heart of the Salinas Valley, a Greenfield father is accused of trying to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage. And how much was his nubile daughter worth to him? $16,000, 100 cases of beer, and several cases of meat. Arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, father of the year Macelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, went back to the unidentified 18-year-old suitor because payment wasn't made as promised. Jesus. What's more, according to the MomLogic, "Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community." Who knew? Strange.
