I didn’t wanna jinx it. So now that the game is over, I washed and clean my broom.

I’ve got a secret. Tell you after the game.

 It's getting to where winning doesn't matter as much as it should. That 13-12 game the other day was a lot of fun and the outcome was 100% consistent with all other interesting games this season. Like when JFW and I saw them in Denver. "Oh, we lost? Well it was a fun game, tra-la." 

Just where the owner wants us/me: Paying for the product, not the results. Well as long as they don't just stink, that's better than some teams. 

I do think Vitello might be playing a longer game than we hoped but it will turn out okay in a few years.

And it's starting to seem like the farm system might not be a wasteland anymore.

All right Giants, it's that time of year, that final stretch, to really get that special something going so you can have a run at the pennant...next year.

Certainly not the prototypical atheletic body, but he sure can play the game.

Shortest legs in baseball

Loved the come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Giants. Heart-stopping slide into home for a walk-off win...

It's because they have the best City Connect uniforms. I like it better than all uniforms — regular, road, city connect, old timer's day, mother's day, ... they look really good!

impressive... but this was 9 feet further and ended a game that they trailed 4-0 down to their last strike in the 9th....before coming back to win their 9th in a row.

Those Schwarbomb's never get old.

Wow. Just wow!

He was a crappy 3rd baseman as well.

Yeah, that's true. On average, they probably field about ten times as many thrown balls as they do batted balls, if not more.
