Chicago Cubs @ San Francisco Giants


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.

Sorta like the chant I came up with for Shane Victorino when I was at a Giants-Phillies game earlier this year: “INBRED MORON!”

Didn’t catch on, sadly.

And actually I mainly did it to embarrass my wife.
