Minor-league assignments for the Giants

The minor-league season has kicked off, and ... wait, kicked off is football talk. The minor-league season has metaphorically invited Huey Lewis and the News to sing the National Anthem, and you can bet it was fabulous, simply fabulous. I love minor-league season, and today's like a second Opening Day but with creepier mascots and wonkier hot-dog guns.
