Halladay-Lincecum for game one of the NLCS Saturday night in Philadelphia. Presumed over-under on the game in Vegas? One and a half.

(A few weeks ago I wrote the Padres-Giants race for the division title might be decided by penalty kicks… on Saturday night, for the Phillies-Giants game, it could happen.)

And once this torture trip of a season is over, how long will it take for the SF Giants to become the official major league baseball team of Prilosec?

Meanwhile, in the AL, the Rangers-Rays ALDS series was notable because NEITHER team won a home game. In fact, they both had the best ratio of road to home scoring since a young Bill Clinton first hit the campaign trail.

But congratulations to the 1961 expansion Washington Senators, now the Texas Rangers, for their first ever playoff win, and advancing to the ALCS. (And in a nice touch of irony, the original Washington Senators, who left Washington after the 1960 seasons to become the Minnesota Twins, was swept in the first round.)
–
And in all seriousness, add to the nice gesture the Giants made of applauding Bobby Cox during their celebration Tuesday, the Texas Rangers’ starting their clubhouse celebration with ginger ale. (Josh Hamilton ,a team star, has admitted serious substance abuse issues, and doesn’t feel comfortable now even just being doused in alcohol.)
The Rangers brought out the hard stuff later, but Hamilton was at least able to get wet. And presumably, sticky.

As if folks in the San Francisco Bay Area needed any more reason to hate Fox…. they give us Joe Buck and Tim McCarver to call the Giants-Phillies series. And a 119p start time Tuesday for the first NLCS home game.

University Georgia tailback Caleb King became the 11th Bulldog to be arrested this SEASON. On the brighter side, in the interest of efficiency, Georgia huddles can now double as probation hearings.

From Bill Littlejohn: A statue of King Tut’s grandfather has been unearthed in Egypt. So, was it wearing a Packers or Vikings jersey?

The SF 49ers have said that their offense again next week will be led by Quarterback Alex Smith. Well, makes some sense, Smith is likely to lead the team to another number one draft pick.
In the last California gubernatorial debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown, of course the “whore” question came up. Shame the -debate wasn’t being moderated by a real expert, like Eliot Spitzer.
–
At least Jerry’s wife/aide/whoever simply called Meg a “whore. While Whitman is going on about how offensive women find that word, I, and most of my women friends, can think of about half a dozen that are worse.
(And for anyone who’s read the internet stories about her family, it’s a bit ironic that Whitman won’t let his one go. Google her sons and their high school and college careers for some rumors that do not exactly bespeak delicate sensibilities.)

The Republican party is pouring money into California in hopes of helping Carly Fiorina unseat Senator Barbara Boxer. Here’s an alternative suggestion – if the GOP really cares so much about winning that Boxer’s seat, why don’t they actually nominate a reasonable semi-moderate candidate to run against her?

Any day now…. which means, count on us by end of the year. This is what comes of being luddites and counting on young technical geniuses.

Is this the Giants playoff theme song?
