Open Gameday Thread, Too

Grant_tiny by Grant on

C'mon, man. Go rent a movie from AFI's 100 Greatest Previews list or something. Learn to juggle. Visit a site that teaches you how to make paper airplanes. Anything but the Giants flailing against Dan Haren. Don't keep watching this crap.

For a few minutes there, I was wondering if this was going to be the first Gameday Thread with zero posts.

I didn’t want to post first, for fear of being the only one.

I’LL TELL YOU WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Emmylou Harris is at the game!

Can Elvis Costello be far away?

The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival a couple of years back had EC, T-Bone Burnette and EmmyLou onstage together and it was a joy to behold!
