PrintWarriors up at the end of three. Baron Davis is healthy and not playing, and no one knows why.
Pablo Sandoval has another homer, which makes three on the season. He entered the night hitting .560/.593/1.000 in 25 at-bats.
Randy Johnson is even uglier than I remember.
Baseball still doesn't need sideline reporters.

If stupid Comcast wants some sex appeal on these broadcasts

as long as the people in charge of producing the game think it's a good idea, they'll keep plugging in piss-poor in-game breakaways. It's not the talent's fault they arent'...talented.

This team is like my gf, I can't get away. A couple years ago she was hot, now she's ugly, but for some reason I think she'll be hot in a few years again. Whatever is controlling that head of hers is making it very dumb, and hard to love her. But every now and then she does special things for me....she made me steak dinners both of the last two nights. Of course her head wouldn't let her make it three nights in a row. I dont know why but every fifth day she constantly calls me stupid for liking her, but then on the 2nd and third day she gets my dopamine racin.
