Oh I wasn't going to get it immediately
I’m just trying to figure out what to do when I do something – which I have to before next January. And I hate missing the CSN+ games…Grrr…

Im going to start looking myself. I dont want to spend over $4,000 I dont think though. Find any good web sites that evaluate products?

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.

I'd Strongly Recommend
A local non-chain dealer instead of buying online. They take better care of the TVs (and are more available if there are problems).
Good advice
My Dad just bought one at a local Audio-Video place here. They did a great installation and help him whenever he needs a hand.

I've noticed
I always feel comfortable with a one-run lead when we first get it, but after a few more innings of holding the same one-run lead, I get nervous and want some insurance runs.
So his next K will be looking?

HORRIBLE managing by Bochy
If you walk Barton, Geren either has to let Harden make the second out or pinch hit for Harden. How can you not force that decision? But thanks.

You're right, but I've always considered that to be the biggest load of BS ever.
A professional center fielder should always be able to get in front of it, touching has nothing to do with making the play.

They took a vote
decided if you don’t touch it, you didn’t “drop it” so no error.

as the Giants always play the RFer in the alley.

I think Harden would have made contact.
"JOAN! Are you watching Bombast? Did you see Lack Bust drop that fly call?"
Harden is obvious, but player of the game
should co-go-to Suzuki, who has a line drive single, line drive out, line drive triple, and crucial caught stealing.

never underestimate the catcher’s value as part of the battery.

I know Harden is fragile
but it boggles my mind how a manager can yank a guy throwing a 1-hitter. It backfires all the friggin time
last two innings
have been portends of trouble.
I’m for this move. Our bullpen is rested…shoot, Harden is one pitch away from an injury all the time. Take what you get!

Geren gives Ziggy
the tough job of getting the 3-4-5 hitters out
Although that’s Winn, Molina, and Rowand. . .pathetic
that joke would work better other seasons i admit
molina is having a great seasona dn rowand is solid
by SwishMyNish33 on Jun 14, 2008 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions
I was wondering if he'd face Fred Lewis...
...considering way back when, he’s the guy who lined the ball off of Ziggy’s head the first time.

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