The Man in Black seems appropriate as the season circles the bowl.

One of my prized possessions is a game used Richard Hildalgo broken bat. I got hammered at a game back in "mumble mumble" and went to the gift shop mid game. I thought hidalgo was the fucking second coming... I bought the shit out of that bat. I then thought it'd be a great idea to walk home instead of getting a cab (I spent all my money on beer and a bat). I mean if you look at downtown FROM the heights it looks super close. When you are walking back to the heights with a bladder full of miller lite and a fucking Richard Hidalgo game used bat it feels much longer.... it was also very hot and I had no water. Did I mention the miller lite?

After "anointing" a few industrial buildings on the way back I did finally get home. (The hiccups set in about halfway and became so persistent I was sore the next day...) hidalgo's bat and I went on a life journey. I sorted some shit out on that walk. Got lost a bit then found my way home.

My (at the time future) wife took one look at me and that bat when I walked in the door and never asked a question about it. She's always somehow known the importance of it though. Never complained when it ended up next to every bed of every place we moved to throughout the years. Money was tight back then. Didn't even ask how I got it....

Question. If you're the Giants and you have a one game wild card playoff, do you pitch Cueto or Bumgardner? I say Madison even on short rest. What say ye?

If anyone is still up... There's a certain Dodger announcer calling a game right now.

Speaking of Scully...interesting bit in the Dallas News today. They have Sports Radio/TV column on Saturdays and the writer did a piece of Scully's short career doing NFL on TV. He called the game with the Dwight Clark catch and then went home and said that was it for his football broadcasting days. But of more interest was that when he was calling a no-hitter he would tell the audience  what was going on. He feels that is his responsibility to his listeners that may be just tuning in.

Gene Elston also did not subscribe to the no-hitter superstition. He talked about it as it was happening.
