I would have had a very nice week if it wasn't for those two teams that specialize in getting your hopes up, then kicking you in the head with hobed nailed boots: The Cowboys & Chargers. PS: I'm thinking of putting the Eagles in this dreaded group. I have no idea when to pick these three or when to walk away...

Happy Birthday!!

Quite the strange sight a large empty section of the left field upper deck at the SF/Cards game tonight.... According to StubHub there are 5,442 tickets available for tonights game. Upper deck, left field going for $84.99 to $195.00. Field level behind the Giants dugout: $425.00 to $985.00. I'd stay home and watch it on tv.

The second terrible start by Bumgarner in this post season -- who would have thought the two best pitchers for the Giants would be Sergio Romo and Tim Lincecum?

As far as East Coast bias, Sports Illustrated had the Giants losing to the Angels in the World Series as their preseason pick. As the Irish say: Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

If you take into account the ballparks (ERA+) the Cards had a better ERA since AT&T is a well know pitcher's park. As for saves, the Cardinals had a much higher run differential so their relievers didn't have as many save opportunities. This is a nice problem to have. And just like that the Giants are coming back. Hmm, Timmy warning up in the pen. Yeah, I thought Timmy was going to start either game 4 or 5 too.

Reminds me a watching the Padres back in the 70s, all I hoped for was .500 baseball, and that took forever!

Where do you want them to go?

I'M LISTENING TO THE CARDS CREW ON KMOX RADIO. That's the only way to do it with these clowns on Fox.

Who gives a darn that Joe Buck is announcing both 49ers & Giants game. Such self-promoting bs. Thank goodness I have satellite radio and can listen to the KNBR Giants feed.

Great! Not only is my memory gone, I can't even read anymore.... PS: And the Cowboys still stink

I know, it's completely stupid how these experts go on about the Cardinals. You'd think they were the team that easily won their division, racked up 94 wins, had the better ERA, had more saves, more shut outs, gave up fewer earned runs. It's true, the West Coast teams never get the props the teams from East & Midwest do, and I don't care what you guys say, it's true.

At least I made a comeback in the afternoon games. Two things: 1. Never, ever trust picking the Cowgirls. 2. Aggie: You were not supposed to pick the Giants.

Man, I forgot that I switched teams at the last minute! I had the Raiders until this morning, so I was very dejected at the 55 yard field goal. Geesh, it's murder on the memory being over 50....

It's official, I'm now the Official Kiss Of Death® to any team I pick to win.

What Chuck said. Yeah, Chuck got that one right, and his jinx worked too!

The Collectable King Crimson: Volumes 1 - 5

I've seen these numbers quoted, can't vouch for their accuracy though. 2013: $28M (age 37) 2014: $25M (38) 2015: $21M (39) 2016: $20M (40) 2017: $20M (41) That's proof that there is / is no God -- take your pick...

And the Yankees are still on the hook with ARod for what? five years at 25 million per year?????????

Short Version: He stinks.... Long Version: Rodriguez is 2 for 16 with nine strikeouts in the series

ARod on bench for game five. Now we will be subjected to a million shots of ARod on the bench, looking pensive, clapping when his replacement gets a hit, gazing off into space...

I'm so ready for some NBA that I'm watching the NY Knick vs. Washington Wizards preseason game. The NBA, it's a sickness.....

Really, a great comeback by the Giants, I didn't think they could pull it off. You know Dusty must be dying over this one. It will be interesting if Lincecum will start in the next series or not, I don't see how Zito can be allowed to start. If they play the Cardinals, the Giants will have home field advantage.

Very tense last couple of innings, but the Giants won. I thought that Romo would blow it for sure.

The Giants are lucky that Dusty Baker is managing so bad in this game, imagine, sending the runners like he did in the sixth? What was he thinking? Easy strike out, throw them out, double play. Thanks Dusty!
