Quick note

by Grant Brisbee on Aug 10, 2008 7:01 PM PDT

I've been out of town for the past two days, and I haven't watched an inning of Giants baseball.

So you can PayPal donations to mccoveychronicles (at) gmail.com to keep me out of town. The hotel is about $100 a night...I could probably live with $40 per diem money...I can slum it and drink Seagram's or Jim Beam.... I'll make it work if I have a set budget.

This is all in your hands. If you don't give me money, you don't like walk-off Giants wins against the Dodgers, and you're a bad fan.

It would be much cheaper to simply abduct you and hide you in an undisclosed location during the next Dodgers series.

Just sayin’.

Anyone else?

We all know your feelings about kidnapping Grant and making him listen to your McCovey Chronicles fan fiction. And we just want to get the Giants to win games. We don’t want to torture the poor guy.

I just can’t believe that listening to me recite "Go West, Young Men" could be considered torture! It’s a touching story of how Dan from NM and Kitspool met, and as a result learned hard won lessons about life, love, and doing each other.

And I’m pretty sure you’d be interested to hear the story I’ve titled "The Life You Save Might Be Your Own… groug."

I’m just a little angry that my love interest is a Barry Zito Fathead that came to life.

I mean, if someone wrote that about you, you’d have to feel a little insulted.

Listen, you just tell me who you want and I can totally use the Replace All function. I’m not married to this whole groug/Zito pairing. Frankly, it was a pairing of convenience to begin with.

Before I answer that...

Are you open to making the story into a Sliders crossover?

Hell, consider it halfway there!

Speak for yourself.

Ya, we can just watch this man for tips on how to go about it

Riddle:
I wear blue and white, I arrive to baseball games in the 4th inning, I leave in the 7th inning, my team's home stadium plays movie trailers between innings, I read magazines during the game, I play with beach balls, and I love the wave.

Who am I?

Giants fans do not negotiate with terrorists.

Unless they're savvy vet terrorists.

Usual weekend AZ odyssey , missed just about everything. Hell , all I caught was Saturday’s postgame wrap…what did Barry (Bonds) say to the attending?
Something about “Did you have a good time?” I assume he was referring to his SF tenure , to which the answer would be a resounding “Hell yes!”

Is the AZ/Barry story true , or fictional drama? (Az to sign him but bowed down to screaming season ticketholders)

Jesus Christ with the amount of fake tans, fake breasts, and other fake shit in that state, you’d think they’d embrace another artificially enhanced cretin like Bonds.

"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.
