Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

What's the 2008 SF Giants Theme Song?

I'd like to hear your ideas for songs that could best represent the 2008 Giants.

All I keep thinking of while watching the Giants fritter another one away to the Dodgers, is the timeless line from "Synchronicity II":

"...And every single meeting with his so-called superior, is a humiliating kick in the crotch."

 ...So mine's "Synchronicity II.

i'm glad

Beck was number one.

I was thinking Lost Cause? or Already Dead?

The whole sea change album just works.

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

If the same guy who had the hit with American Pie hadn't also had hits with Vincent and Crying, then you'd be spot on. Or maybe you were thinking of the version by Madonna. Did she have any hits?

You’ll be safe here,

Last year's theme:

Chorus:
It's an old team after all
It's an old team after all
It's an old team after all
It's an old, old, team

It's a team of veterans
A team of cheers
It's a team that's gruesome
A team of jeers
There's so much that they did
But can't do any more
It's an old team after all

[Chorus]

There is just one cove
That can hold the blasts
From the bats of Bonds
Of many years past
Though the young guys give hope
That Armando's a dope
It's an old team after all

[Chorus]

Just change 'Pennsylvania' to 'San Francisco'

Pennsylvania by the Bloodhound Gang

We are "cop rock" we are Screech
We are Z. Cavaricci
We are laser removed
Tasmanian Devil tattoos

We are third string we are puck
We are special people's club
We are the half shirts with
Irreverent spring break top ten lists

We are munsoned we are squat
We are flashing twelve o'clock
We are spread out butt cheeks
Pulled apart so just the air leaks

We are "ishtar" we are Tab
We are no right turn on red
We are the moustaches
The Beatles grew when they dropped acid

You are the heart dotting "i"
In the word "apologize"
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a Subaru that was
Registered in Pennsylvania

We are Zima we are barf
We are cinderblock yard art
We are Baldwin brothers
Not the good one but the others

We are Amway we are Shemp
We are Sir David of Brent
We are the queef after
A porn star breaks the gang bang record

You are the heart dotting "i"
In the word "apologize"
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a subaru that was
Registered in Pennsylvania

Lapdance is So Much Better When the Stripper is Cryin' :: Bloodhound Gang

I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert
That night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love.
It had been a while.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went
since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.
I had picked up this hitchhiker that was sweatin' gallons
through a pair of Daisy Duke cut-offs and one of those Fruit Of The Loom tank-tops.
Well, that night I lost myself to ruby red lips,
milky white skin and baby blue eyes.
Name was Russell.

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

Well, faster than you can say, "shallow grave",
this pretty little thing come up to me and starts kneadin' my balls
like hard-boiled eggs in a tube sock.
Said her name was Bambi and I said, "Well that's a coincidence darlin',
'cause I was just thinkin' about skinnin' you like a deer."
Well she smiled, had about as much teeth as a Jack-O-Lantern,
and I went on to tell her how I would wear her face like a mask
as I do my little kooky dance.
And then she told me to shush.
I guess she could sense my desperation.
'Course, it's hard to hide a hard-on when you're dressed like Minnie Pearl.

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

So, Bambi's goin' on about how she can make all my fantasies come true.
So I says, "Even this one I have where Jesus Christ
is jackhammering Mickey Mouse in the doo-doo hole
with a lawn dart as Garth Brooks gives birth to something
resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on Santa Claus's tummy-tum?"
Well, ten beers, twenty minutes and thirty dollars later
I'm parkin' the beef bus in tuna town if you know what I mean.
Got to nail her back at her trailer.
Heh. That rhymes.
I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on
when I found out she was doin' me to buy baby formula.

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

Day or so had passed when I popped the clutch,
gave the tranny a spin and slid on into
The Stinky Pinky Gulp N' Guzzle Big Rig Snooze-A-Stop.
There I was browsin' through the latest issue of "Throb",
when I saw Bambi starin' at me from the back of a milk carton.
Well, my heart just dropped.
So, I decided to do what any good Christian would.
You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice
and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five
in an eighteen-wheeler.
I never thought missing children could be so sexy.
Did I say that out loud?

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

The Smiths Catalog

Each time Bochy makes one of his Bochy mistakes - Bighead Strikes Again.

When Cain goes 7 IP, 6 K's, 2 BB's, 1 run and gets the L - Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before.

When we actually win a game - What Difference Does It Make?

Molina as the Cleanup hitter - That Joke isn't Funny Anymore.

The Giants FO - Panic (hang he GM, hang he GM, hang he GM -- hang he GM!)

Yesterday is here

If you want to go to the Rainbows end

Will our dreams come true out up ahead
Well it's out where your memories lie

Today gray skies
Tomorrows tears
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
