Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, Jun 30, 2008 7:15 PM PDT
If the Giants had signed Ted Lilly to the contract given to him by the Cubs, I would have complained for a month. Lucky for us, we signed Zito, so we didn't need to sign Lilly to some long contract for too much money.
I wonder what ol' Sparky would have written about Zito, now that I think about it....

So, there’s this ad on KNBR which says that the question, “When was baseball invented?” will start a fight in any sports bar.
Now, I don’t frequent sports bars, or, indeed, bars of any type, but this strikes me as slightly improbable. Why the hell would that start a fight? Do not get.
