Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

Open GameThread, 4/16

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers, Apr 16, 2009 7:10 PM PDT


I'm confident about Zito's ability to be a stopper. Sure. I'm choosing to watch the San Jose Giants because, uh, I'm positive that Zito's just going to dominate. Bam! 12-6 curve in your face! I've seen it before, so why not watch Madison Bumgarner for a change. It has nothing to do with wanting to watch a freaking winning team. Nothing.

Maybe a little.


Alternate Reality Series

Giants lead the series 2-0

Fun Comcast Stories

Since the subject of Comcast’s ineptitude came up the other day, I thought of you guys when I got a letter from Comcast today. It seems they have “exciting news” about their channel lineup.

What is the exciting news? Well, a channel that’s currently part of the regular package is now being moved to a premium channel, costing $10.95 a month.

I don’t care about this particular channel myself, but I’m wondering exactly what customer would consider that “exciting.”
