Quickly....

The Giants are going to limit access to McCovey Cove for the All-Star Game. No motorized boats and no watercraft longer than 20 feet at all. I can understand the reasoning behind it, but you'd have to think there are more than a couple of folks who just had their plans go up in bureaucratic smoke.

My favorite part of the article, which described press reaction to two media boats that have been arranged for interested reporters:

"Most of the media appreciate this," Daum said. "They didn't know how to charter their own boats."

I knew a guy who majored in Boat Chartering at M.I.T., so I understand where they're coming from. You can't leave that kind of fact-finding and research in the hands of people who do fact-finding and research for a living.

But what about Skip?

The man's name is Bayless. Clearly, he'd be completely out of his element.

If only...

If only there was some sort of service by which you could input the concept of "Boat Charter" into a mechanical contrivance of some sort, and the automaton in question would return information on how to go about chartering a boat. Perhaps with the secret of steam power, we will all live long enough to see such a device!

I believe Mr. Babbage's Difference Engine might hold the key.

By jove, I think you've got it! Splendid work, man! Top notch! The height of modernity, I say!

For just pennies a day, you too can make a difference in the life of a Giants player...like Kevin Correia.

Re: Quickly....

You scared me there for a moment. I read too hurriedly and thought you said the Giants were going to restrict access to McCovey Chronicles. Whew; close one.
