I haven't gotten to research yet, but I'll

let you know when I do. Today was just my start into the inquiry process of how to go about it. I’m still unsure. I don’t care about most of the bells and whistles and don’t want to pay too much or get something which will become a customer service nightmare.

A professional center fielder should always be able to get in front of it, touching has nothing to do with making the play.

this is the kind of game

where you do the “ROOGY LOOGY” stuff. Embree is an ex-Giant. He is ready for the weather.

Okay, Embree

don’t want Ziggy to give up his first HR here, to Bowker.
I think this is smart.

I don't like this pitching change

Tying run at the plate, Ziggy has gotten three weak ground balls. Why give the Giants a glimmer of hope for a game-tying HR?

I think some players match up with sidearm delivery

very well, and Bowker may be such a batter.

Last time it was funny (to me)

in a sad, depressing kind of way.

I really don’t want to lose THIS game though.

cold night

and he was beginning to waver.

as opposed to “waivers”.

Too tight a game…we need the whole team to get in on this.

Castillo Looked Like An A There...

And the reason Castillo took that pitch with 2 runners on base is that, um, he thought Embree might throw him an, uh, fastball?

Man what a horrible AB.
