Error was on Lewis: He used Bo's towel.
Error was on Lewis: He used Bo's towel
WASHINGTON — Even at the White House, Fred Lewis managed to put himself in the clubhouse fine box.
Giants players, coaches and staff toured the presidential residence on a warm and humid day in the District, and as the group walked from the South Lawn to a receiving room, Lewis grabbed a towel and wiped the perspiration from his forehead.
"Oh, no, no," the tour guide exclaimed with Lewis in mid-dab. "Those are for the dog."
The team burst out laughing, and the tour guide apologized for embarrassing Lewis.
"Naw, that's the best part," right-hander Matt Cain said. "Trust me, he does it all the time."
President Obama was out of the country, but the Giants got to meet one member of the first family — Bo, their Portuguese water dog. Bo got a little too frisky when Dave Flemming went to pet him, biting the sleeve of the broadcaster's sportcoat.

When Lewis threw a ball for Bo to fetch, Bo stopped, started back a few steps, broke in late, then circled the wrong way.

The best part about this story is that he just randomly grabbed a towel to cool off. I once was in Washington D.C. in June and it is brutally sticky, but seriously, Fred, you’re a guest at the White House…shouldn’t you be afraid to even touch the wallpaper? Was he planning on taking a quick shower in one of the bathrooms as well?

I'm not surprised
Fred is from Wiggins, Mississippi. Let’s just say it isn’t the classiest place I’ve ever been.
Seriously, has anyone seen my adopted brother?

25-25 - Giants Series Record: 10-5-2, 8-1 at home
Adopted Giant: Daryl "Dealio" Maday - 2nd bad start in a row. 5 ER, 7 H and 3 BB in only 4 1/3 IP. Overall ERA has risen to 3.99. Time to shape up, son. A thought: Maday has given up either 0, 1, 2, or 3 ER in every start except his last two, both of which have been against Portland. We'll blame it on those Sea Dogs!
doesn't that make it weirder?
I’d think anywhere in MS is at least as drippy as DC, so you’d think he’d welcome the good old “glisten” he fondly remembers from childhood.
