San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers, Apr 4, 2008 11:05 AM PDT


I usually forget the afternoon games that are in different time zones, so I'm writing this several days in advance. And you saps think you're getting fresh content? Oh, my. I didn't think it was possible to have less respect for my readership, but your gullible ways have proven me wrong.

I just think he's an idiot..

Yesterday there was a short clip pre-game and the one Cubs announcer is trying to actually announce the game winning run scoring for the other team while Santo is just kind of moaning next to him about the Cubs losing.

I've always wanted to go to it and might go this year with a co-worker.

it's not, i just hate the fans and the touristy attitude of most of them there. it should definately be seen in person at least once.

i remember heckling shingo and corey patterson in the bleachers one year, good times.

This Carlos Villanueva character looks pretty good. Who did we get in the trade for him?

Of course every pitcher is going to look good against this team.

He's a bit too young for this team. I'd take one of the sandpeople, though.

Is bunting with 2 outs and the pitcher due up really all that smart?

well..

it get's the pitcher out of the way and means that if one of our three next inning get on they'll have to deal with Bonds.

I know Bocock isn't going yard or anything, but the odds of him doubling have to be better than Sanchez not getting out, right?

I guess with Aurilia on first, they figure it would take a dinger for him to score.

if he gets passed on the base paths he'd still be out, right?

it is th only chance the kid has. He can't hit ML pitching. He either waits for a walk and does this.

Well ok.

At least we got the pitcher up. We'll have the top of the order up next inning. I mean, look at what that...got....us..........last time......

Tom Shane talking about how his jewelry stores are "totally chill" and nobody "gets in your grill" is just wrong and bizarre.

Somebody needs to tell the guy he's the blandest, most boring person in the world, but considering how long he's been doing his own ads, I don't think he cares.

He owns and runs a jewelry chain. I'd bet he's rich enough, he can hire people to care if someone doesn't like him or his commercials
