And here I didn’t think it was possible for a baseball player to have a less macho name than Madison Bumgarner.
Not on Channel 12….in Sactown that is…whoever the NBC affilliate is in SF. They’ve got Jon and Kruk in the box.
Adoptive papa to Omar...so basically I'm screwed.

It’s Channel 11 nowadays, or channel 3 on cable systems. Which is weird. The Giants are supposed to be on Channel 2 and NBC is supposed to be Channel 4.
HOLY SHIT FRED LEWIS IS STARTING AGAINST A LEFTY!?
Did Bochy submit the wrong lineup card or what? THIS CANNOT BE!
Is it true that the A’s took out a full page ad saying WHAT BATTLE?
Because if so…

There was a half page one in the Chronicle today that said something like “Battle of the Bay!” but they crossed out Battle and it said, “It’s not really a battle if we’ve won 8 of 9 MIRITE?”
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Am I wrong in thinking that A’s fans are giving the Red Sox fans a run for their money in the being enormous twats category?

Well, I think the A’s themselves took the ad out.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Well yeah, I was just on a rant. I’m a little sore that I burned the rice, so I just went with the anger.

Head to San Jose J-Town, great little selection of rice cookers.
Without killing anyone
We've won it 3 times
All you need is this one: Vita Clay Rice/Slow cooker. I’ve had it for almost a year, and it makes perfect rice every time. The clay pot is pretty awesome.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Dear America,
You are sooooooooo stupid! Take your stupid country, your stupid crime rates, and your stupid reality shows, and shove it!!!!!!!

A few years back I went to a Giants-A’s game. On the ferry back to Oakland, there were some A’s fans with shirts showing needles and the phrase “San Francisco BALCOS – Guilty.”
It’s always great when other teams’ fans are self-righteous over the Giants and steroids, but it was especially brilliant with A’s fans, what with their major offensive stars of the last twenty years – you know, Canseco, McGwire, Giambi, and Tejada – are all totally beyond suspicion.
Nobody
has the right to be self-righteous, because EVERY FUCKING TEAM did steroids. That’s why it’s called an epidemic.
It’s like the time these stupid-ass Padres fans were all OOH BONDS STEROIDS and I just said, “Uh Caminiti guys?” Then they went yeah Giants suck! I couldn’t really argue with them there…

Even I would have started Omar all three games in Cleveland. I think Manny gets the bulk of the starts from here on out.

I love Miller, but
When he brags on Molina for hitting .309 with RISP, and at the same time, the screen shows that he’s hitting .312 overall, he looks kinda silly.
Traded for Morris from the Bucs last year
I liked him cuz he’s fast. But he sorta sucks.
I hope you weren’t being sarcastic.
that was
the equivalent of not remembering the finisher and just punching the guy.

Jon Miller is like the McCovey Chronicles of play-by-play
A long digression about how the word Olympia sounds mid-at bat.
He's a national treasure
unlike that shitty movie, National Treasure, which is like a Tim McCarver
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
i just now found out the SF broadcast was also on, i’d been beeing tormented by the boring A’s announcers. I love when its Miller and Kruk

All this reminds me of the worst game I ever attended. Giants-Dodgers doubleheader at Candlestick. Late 80s/Early 90s. Dodgers crushed us in both games, fans had dozens and dozens of brawls, some started trying to climb over the fence to go after Dodgers outfielders. It was after that game that they stopped selling beer in the late innings and put limits on how many you could buy at once. It was also one of three games I’ve ever left early – ‘cause my dad feared for our safety. Not good times, not good times.
That is fucking ridiculous
that people act that way over sports. It’s a game, people. They’re a bunch of rich jocks running around in different color uniforms. I’m all for loyalty to a team and rivalries, but c’mon.

They’re separate counters since Kevin Correia has two “K” sounds in his name.

Pedro Feliz has more HR’s than anyone on our team.
In other news, the Rangers like to rush prospects to the Majors too. Except theirs are hitting already. Max Ramirez homered the other night. Chris Davis homered today, and K’d 3 other times.
Anyone else notice today
That Sabean said of Romo on “the brian sabean show”: ” He’s a kid who is going to have to take his chances and pitch to contact”
