Welcome to the torture chamber?

I am actually carrying such a sign to the Giants-Braves game on Thursday.  (Well actually “Atlanta, Welcome to the Torture Chamber.”

A sign you might be a latecomer to the Giants bandwagon if…. you turn on the TV Thursday night,  wonder what the manager’s hippie kid is doing walking on the field, and then realize, it’s SF’s starting pitcher.

For anyone who is convinced the SF Giants will lose because many of their players, especially the pitchers, don’t have playoff experience – tonight was Roy Halladay’s first postseason appearance.

Okay SF fans, let’s be honest. If you had to bet on which playoff team would be no-hit in the first round, wouldn’t you have figured it would be the Giants?

Much discussion in the SF area about whether the Giants will leave Barry Zito off the playoff roster.  If they do,  Zito and his $126 million contract might become known as the biggest waste of money in recent California history. Well, at least until Meg Whitman is done running for governor.

For anyone looking for a playoff team to root for, consider the SF Giants. They’re a hardworking, scrappy, entertaining bunch. And besides, if they beat the Braves in the first round they will reduce America’s exposure to the dreaded Tomahawk Chop.

Bud Selig is bragging that that one World Series game, game three, this year will start at 655p, so children on the East Coast might actually be able to stay up and watch most of the game. But it’s the SATURDAY night game. Now, Sunday night, a school night, game four starts at 820p EST.

Palin’s camp has been criticizing Alaska GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller for his tepid comments about her qualifications to run for president in 2012.

Miller finally responded by saying: “We have a constitutional requirement (for running for president). Of course she is qualified.” Palin is still not happy, but it’s more than many Republicans say about President Obama.
How things change. A few months ago the Delaware politician known for the craziest off-the-cuff remarks was Joe Biden.
First Tiger Woods, now Meg Whitman.  Any potential sports superstars or political candidates take note: Whatever else you do in life, do whatever it takes to stay on good terms with ex-mistresses or employees.

    During Rangers-Rays game Wed., local station KOMO showed the score, Rangers 5, Mariners 1. The Mariners are already 1 game out in the 2011 AL West race.
