One of my favorite newspaper headlines ever, courtesy of the LA Times:
"Dodgers Wonder What's Wrong With Dodgers" works on so, so many levels.

Oh, I’m watching it. But in a little bit, the game will start and I’ll need to decide which pain is more bearable.
(Is it wise to keep using “Mr. Congeniality” when your running mate was second runner up in a state beauty pageant?)
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

Dodgers Wonder What's Wrong With Dodgers?
They’re all Bums!
Adopted brother of the AnVil / GIANTSPACE™ returns!
Crap – just checked the listings. It looks like my decision about game vs. debate has been made for me. I can’t watch the game until after the debate since the game is on NBC11. Shitballs.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Check your email, the Giants media ppls sent out an email with details on where to watch the game.
First pitch isn’t till 730 or 735 I think.
Here’s the contents of the email:
Please note that tonight, Friday, September 26th, the Giants – Dodgers game at AT&T Park is now a 7:35 p.m. first pitch (original game time was 7:15 p.m.).
The game time changed due to the presidential debate which will be aired on NBC-11/KNTV, so also note that beginning at 7:30 p.m. (Pacific), the Giants telecast will be available on channel 187 for viewers that have Comcast Digital Cable. Fans with antennas and digital tuners can watch the game on 11-2. The debate is scheduled to conclude at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific) and NBC-11 will resume televising the Giants-Dodgers game after the conclusion of the debate.
Thanks for the information.
So if I’ve got Directv I’ve still gotta wait.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
On Baseball Tonight, they had a colossally stupid segment where they held a debate about the two NL Wildcard hopefuls. Chris Singleton represented the Mets while Fernando Vina represented the Brewers. The two debated over why their respective teams should be chosen(?) as the Wild Card winner. Apparently, the Brewers are a “lunch-pail” team, although that observation probably came from seeing Prince Fielder.
Now I’m reminded why I only watch ESPN during live sporting events.

Let's face it
Former players usually don’t make very good analysts. They just don’t.
Except Roy Smalley. That guy rocked. Maybe Harold Reynolds, too.

Was this already mentioned somewhere?
From Extra Baggs
Bit of a surprise for folks just prior to the first pitch. They’ll give Bengie Molina the Willie Mac award as their most inspirational player, and Dodgers infielder Jeff Kent was asked and agreed to take part in the ceremony. Kent is a former Willie Mac winner.

My Bonds autographed ball has a very special shelf for display. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But I wouldn’t mind adding a Mays ball to it. So I guess I can’t really help.

I would go with the Say Hey Kid
I have a few mementos from both on the shelf. Surprisingly Willie Mays was easier to get.
