Hi, my name is Josh, and I do not approve of the San Francisco Giants’ offense.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.
Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.

This is my fear: the Giants manage to score 3 in the 9th with 0 out, get two more guys on base (still with no out), then strand them. The last batter will either swing at a pitch above his head (Molina) or weakly popping up to short.
