PrintIt was great of the Giants to hold that ceremony at the park for former Giants outfielders today. Wonder why there isn't a game tonight.

I’m probably going to do the all day PJs tomorrow as I have a ton of work. I actually went out to do things today like grocery shopping and going to see Wall-E, or I would have been in PJs all day.

As much as I hate the Dodgers, I think their uniform is classic and a great counterpart to the Giants’.
I feel gross.
yeah, well, the whole world stinks, francine -- so get used to it!
I know how you feel. I appreciate the classic design too. Now I must go vomit.

Penitentiary Flap

Throws can be good
but do they HAVE to be RIGHT on the plate???
Oh, man...
Is there anyone that was actually surprised to see that play? That was just vintage ‘08 Giants.
Smokey Bear...
He used to be a badass… Now it seems like he’s gone gay…

we can go nuts about Barry and it’s all cool, but when fans in another city do it, it’s ridiculous.

I could give a shit about fans in NY...
I’m sure they feel quite the same way about Barry’s return to the Bay Area today.
Brett Favre...
Sad that he’s the big celebrity QB in the NFL now. I miss Montana…
Gillaspie doubles in his first at bat. Just like that, .333

"Have you packed???"
Wow. I know what he meant, but hearing Kuip ask it like that gave me images of a major herb-fest in the booth. Be a great night for it. In fact…
I realize that they did it to get to the pitcher, but I still have a hard time being anything but disgusted with intentionally walking Angel Berroa
Only 862 games until the end of Zito's contract
Eh..
If they’d pitched to him, and he cranked one out of the yard, think about how you’d feel. Hindsight is easy.
Hindsight?
Wouldn’t it be hindsight if he cranked it out and I then said that they should have walked him?
I don’t see how me being disgusted with walking Berroa is hindsight.
And, besides, Kuroda has about as much chance of hitting it out as Berroa does.
Only 862 games until the end of Zito's contract
Absolutely not..
It’s just that no one else would have agreed with you. It’s easier to manage a game when you already know what’s going to happen. I still think it was a good call to get to the pitcher.
Um
I appreciate that you think I’m psychic, but I didn’t know what was going to happen. By all means, keep thinking that it was a good call. I’m fine with that. Mostly, it was a gut reaction to walking Angel Berroa. I personally wouldn’t have done it but I can see why they did.

why does vizquel
have to make things look difficult
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
It's probably part of his contract to be excluded from those.
It’s right next to the clause where the Giants can’t mess with his delivery.
Only 862 games until the end of Zito's contract
Well, that's appropriate
Because he’s the weakest of the gamers.
Only 862 games until the end of Zito's contract
do you think
bonds has hit a home run on every scheduled baseball day? so like if they say “this day in Giants’ history” they could always show a Bonds’ homer?

fuck Roberts, that was at your ankles. what is with this team and the inability to take ball four???

i wonder if omar saw his slg%
and thought that was his only chance at a double for the next week

Great drinking game:
Every time the Giants hit into a double play … take a shot.
Every time the umpires blow a call in the other team’s favor… take a shot.
Every time the bullpen blows a lead for a Giants starter… take a shot.
You’d be dead by the ninth inning.
better one
anytime ESPN mentions the Red Sox, Yankees, or Brett Favre.. take a shot
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Oh, man...
You’d have to have quite a few bottles of liquor…
Kruk…please stop.
Sadler’s outburst was not “on you” emotion.
It was “I’ve made it in the Bigs, mom!” emotion.
i struck out a hall of famer emotion
id be fuckin pumped too.. especially if i was pitchign against AAA’ers the week before

fer damn sure.
