SF Giants fans who were stressed Thursday but thinking, “Okay, calm down, we can’t really blow a 6-0 lead,” are retroactively even more stressed.

Interesting  retroactive trivia from listening again to the bottom of the ninth in the SF Cincinnati game: Giants announcer Jon Miller said repeatedly that the tying run was on base. He NEVER said that the winning run was at the plate. But of course, it was.

Anyone else but me getting tired of the St. Louis Cardinals? Maybe it’s that with two straight wild card finishes and then turning it on in the post season that they remind me of the Heat or the Lakers.

As a baseball fan, I think shutting down Strasburg was one of the stupidest things the Nationals could do. But if they had won the NLDS, as a SF Giants fan I would have learned to live with it.

One of several men nabbed in an online prostitution scam in Texas is a 59-year-old senior V.P. with Halliburton. Bummer. For non-millionaires, this might be the closest anyone at Halliburton has gotten to an economic stimulus.

When asked about her possible plans to run for President, Sarah Palin responded “Que sera sera.” From a 1950’s Hitchcock movie. Interesting choice of words for the woman who never knew too much.

For the Cardinals-Nationals game Friday night,  as of Friday morning,   3823 tickets were available on Stubhub . But for the Orioles-Yankees – 11,960 available.   What, New York fans don’t show up unless it’s the World Series?

–

And in the end, a LOT of empty seats at Yankee Stadium for a ALDS game five. To be fair, it’s not as if they have a significant population base nearby.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour headed out last night on a 12-mile trip from LAX Airport to the California Science Center, travelling at 2 miles an hour. Did they choose that speed to match the average during L.A. rush hour?
