San Francisco Giants at Houston Astros, Aug 13, 2008 5:05 PM PDT


Football season is around the corner, and Niners Nation is going strong. Some of the regulars here moonlight as regulars there. If you can't get enough HowTheyScored, here's your chance. If you absolutely can get enough HowTheyScored...he, uh, doesn't post there.

The analysis is great, and so is the community. Go and register as a Niners Nation user today!

Also, if one or both of your parents did not love you, it's possible that you are a Raiders fan. In that case, please note that there is a support group at Silver and Black Pride.

I dont understand everyone’s excitement over Rohlinger. He hit .235 last year in low A. He hit good this year but I’d rather see him sustain this hitting in Triple A. Shoot me, but I kinda wanna see McClain. I know he’s old but I always feel bad for that guy.

his name isn’t Jose Castillo and, unlike McClain, he is young and might have a future in the league.

Stand at plate with bat on shoulder, no matter what.

That would be a change from mad, hacking, flailing monkeys preceding him at 3B.

I could have said Caribbean Monkeys, but I refrained

Plus, Roos Davis is one of the monkeys.

But not so much David Bell, who slid on his stomach to send us to the series and will therefore always be well loved in this housefhold.
