Certainly not intentional!

The good news is that there will be more, and I will continue to be just as focused on this team.

I'd like to say we've got lucky 7

But it's been that way for the last 3 hours. Usually, 3 hour dramas like this feature Kevin Kostner or something...

any pudding.

Giants fans are idiots

They boo called balls to Bonds, as it's seen the pitcher is pitching around him, and then they boo the strikes, because the ump is blind? Pick one, morons.

I've watched close to 3,000 hours of

Denis Leary in the past three days. I've continued tonight. What's going on with the game? Any more pitchers in named after cities in Texas?

"Amarillo by Morning" could be a fitting song

to this disaster.  Are we playing in Oakland because it's just as friggin' late?

I surely haven't been to anywhere in Texas.

But I used to work for an industrial health screening company, and we had a client with a factory or something in or near Nacogdoches... so the name kind of stuck with me...

That's it.

Unless we want to do what the Giants did last night and use a starter in relief.

Zito? (eeek!)

... and all other starting pitchers are in play. We can always send down Braden tomorrow and call up somebody from Sactown.
