Re: No politics, please....

Dave Roberts showing 6% had better be an artifact of the fact that on 2% of precincts are reporting.

It's too early to comment, say Magowan and Sabean

The two percent refers to the projected number of Giant season ticket holders renewing by Opening Day.

Re: No politics, please....

I had a friend who voted for Dave Roberts, but he also wears his pants on his head. That guy just can't figure out why there are two holes for his head, and why the necka are so darn long.

Re: No politics, please....

I for one appreciate Dave Roberts' platform of non-involvement with on-base percentage.

The problem is that is you don't get on the bases over there, they'll come get on you at the plate.

Re: No politics, please....

Reform candidate Roberts looks to fundamentalists to get his batting stroke back...

...yet seems to be leaning strongly to the left after being an unappreciated centrist in the recent past.

Damn your poll numbers, I still think the country is ready for a weak-armed DL-friendly Afro-Japanese-American left fielder for president. He hits change-ups we can believe in.

What I'm most interested in is the candidates' stance on the war on Tourism. Yes, Tourism has been a big problem in SF, and contributes to things like "The Wave" happening in the upper deck, but this war is causing problems for SF-ites and non SF-ites alike!

I'm also vaguely interested in their stances on the Oakland/SF border problems. These are the issues that impact me.

Baseball Mitt wants to remind you he's a more conservative baserunner than McClain. Thus you should vote for him if you hate stolen bases.

Yeah, but

Fox News appears to be reporting a Roberts win, 59%-41%.

I'll take NBC's word for it.

Re: Yeah, but

Just so we're clear, Fox News is also reporting this based on "we don't care the percentage of%" precincts reporting. That's cool, though. They make the news, not me.

The Not Dave Roberts camp countered, "Can we really trust Old Man Roberts with his finger on the button?" When Roberts asked what button, the Not Roberts camp was reported to say, "What button? Where am I? Who took my false teeth?"

I'm not sure if Roberts can steal this election. He might be too old actually to avoid being called out.

NO NO NO... I would however vote him in for the Carl Yastrzemski Award but he'd have to be in Boston for that one... maybe they'd take him back for Capellan and then we'd have options on him in case he's not ready.
