As a Marlins fan living in Reno, I have a couple things to say here.
A.) Marlins vs Giants, you have to be drunk to want to go.
B.) Friday night after a long work week, you better believe their drunk.
I went to the Marlins Giants double header in Miami last summer, and you better believe most the fans were wasted by the time the first rain delay was over. Also, they don’t anticipate fans, so they shut down whole sections of the stadium to save on expenses, so the 12,000 who do show up get grouped so it doesn’t seem as full on panoramic shots. I haven’t been atop left field scoreboard since Pujols still played the out field and they last won the WS.

It’s really his only fault. And he doesn’t whine when I watch a million games each season, and he never complains when I buy another jersey. And he’ll go to Giants games with me when I want. Plus, he got me a BLB autographed ball and the Crazy Crab bobblehead. So he’s okay.

It always makes me lol when Kuip says something like “AND ZITO STRIKES OUT THE BATTER TO END THE INNING AND WE’LL GO TO THE 5TH” and then as it goes to commercial, Kruk says something like “That was a good fastball.”

I actually didn’t know there was a book. Might need to see about picking it up.

I think it was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs or something like that.

He made a massive overhaul to his mechanics. Baggs wrote about it.
The next person who relates Rowand’s hitting to being put in the lead off spot is getting killed in their sleep. It’s so retarded to think there’s any causal link.
did he stop doing that nasty shit wide stance?

Just got home, saw UP! No spoilers here but Fenton’s parking lot is much bigger in the movie than on Piedmont Ave.
Listening to the radio side on the way home, Jon & Dave are nuts.
