High into the San Francisco Night….
Many San Francisco fans may recognize, “There it goes, high into the San Francisco Night” as a home run call from Jon Miller….
But on a related note? Monday night’s Giants-Cubs game at A T and T Park in San Francisco was also Jerry Garcia-Grateful Dead night. Best line of the night, from retired player and current broadcaster F.P. Santangelo, alluding to all the Deadheads at the game, “that’s not fog wafting up to the bridge…”

Suspended Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing says his positive test for a female fertility drug was the result of overtraining. Either that or too many Lamaze classes with Manny Ramirez.

Maybe Cushing mean “Overstraining,” as in “Overstraining credibility.”

NBA commissioner David Stern announced Monday that the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will play a pair of regular-season games in London this season. And we accuse China of exporting poor quality junk overseas..

The NBA has announced that the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will play two regular season games in 2011 in London. So much for David Stern’s promise of having meaningful games in Europe before the 2012 Olympics.

How can you miss him if he won’t go away department:
Levi Johnston, the on-again, off-again fiance of Bristol Palin, now tells the world he has political aspirations and will run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. Is he nuts? The guy has no experience and may not even have voted. You don’t run for mayor with that background, you run for Governor of California.

Question of the night – You go to a sporting event, it starts on time. You go to a movie, at least the previews start on time. So why is it when you go to a concert, you’re lucky if the opening act starts half an hour after the time on the tickets?

Jodie Fisher is the reality television and one-time R-rated movie actress, whose lawsuit led to the resignation of HP CEO Mark Hurd. She issued a statement through her lawyer Gloria Allred saying,”I was surprised and saddened that Mark Hurd lost his job over this, that was not my intention.” Stay tuned for her next role, on the new show – “Dancing with the Skanks.”
(open note to Ms. Fisher, if you DON’T want to look like a skank and a publicity whore, maybe it would be a good idea not to hire as a lawyer the woman who is most recently known for representing Tiger Woods’ porn star mistress.)

A $40 million severance package for Mark Hurd, $42 million for Carly Fiorina…. If they really want to help the California economy, maybe Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown should both consider a campaign promise to be both hired and fired as HP CEO, and then give their severance package to the state.

Less than a week after receiving a vote of confidence from his boss, Seattle skipper Don Wakamatsu and 3 of his coaches were fired. GM Jack Zduriencik said he had lost confidence in Wakamatsu. Zduriencik added that he takes full responsibility for the Mariners’ poor performance this year. Nobody rolled a grenade across the floor to see if he’d fall on it, or just throw new interim manager Darren Brown on it. Then again, if one of the Mariners had rolled it, he likely would’ve missed the floor.

The Jets held a pep rally in Times Square in anticipation of the premiere of Hard Knocks. The cheeleaders rallied the crowd, team execs met with the fans, and Rex Ryan appeared on the Jumbotron. Readers, you can supply your own punch lines.
