You know you’ve been a Giants fan all year when… you woke up this morning and wanted to check the paper or online to make sure it really did happen, and Howard didn’t hit a walkoff homerun or something…
–
Still don’t believe this is magic? Juan Uribe of the SF Giants…. 25 home runs total this year. And how many to the opposite field? One. Saturday night in Philly.
–
We have all heard now how Christine O’Donnell says she is not a witch. Has anyone heard Bruce Bochy say he is not a warlock?
–
Anyone in California feeling sorry for those Phillies fans should read some Philadelphia papers online. Those papers were indeed full of angst tonight, but it was more about the Eagles losing to the Titans.
–
Headline in L.A Times today: “Giants ride hit charade to the World Series.” But let’s be fair, it must be hard for Los Angeles. Other than USC, the city hasn’t had a professional football team for years. This year they really didn’t have a professional baseball team either.

Meanwhile, the now 1-6,San Francisco 49ers announced in a press release that contrary to expectations and popular belief, the team has discovered that are PLENTY of things that could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.
–
49ers coach Mike Singletary thinks his 1-6 team can still make the playoffs. Playoffs? At this point San Francisco would be a longshot to be bowl-eligible.
–
So the NFL is now sending the 1-6 49ers (who just lost to the previously winless Panthers) and the 2-5 Broncos (who just were destroyed by the Raiders) to play in London next week. Is this a game or an extradition?
–
The 49ers lost two fumbles and an interception Sunday, the Broncos lost FIVE fumbles and an interception. Maybe because the British are used to football being soccer, the NFL decided to send them two teams who don’t regularly use their hands.
–
Meg Whitman is decrying the practice of allowing students who are not legal immigrants to attend California universities, saying they are taking places from California citizens.
As opposed to kids whose places might be taken at places like Princeton because other students’ parents donate money to build new dorms?

Meg Whitman’s new California ad states “I know many of you see this election as an unhappy choice between a longtime politician with no plan for the future and a billionaire with no government experience.”
Over in Nevada, however, where voters have the Senate choice between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle, the number one response to that ad “We’ll trade you.”
(In all seriousness, for those not following the Nevada race, well more than half of each candidates “supporters” say they wish they had someone else to vote for.)
