JD quoted a scout in yesterday's game saying Zito is now topping out his fastball at 82.  So, no smoke... just the mirrors.

The Giants should throw Zito and Lincecum back to back.  That could fuck up some swings.

I will never, ever, never get tired of seeing that game.  Thanks for the link and the preview!
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

4 games in San Fran: A reach wraparound series.

Can someone 'splain why two games would be broadcast in HD and two wouldn't?  I mean, you've got the cameras there - turn them on!

They need them to simulcast a PBS production of "The Pirates of Menspants".

that would be up to the home team.

Ask the panty-waist commies who run the Gints.

Maybe the A's get the cameras  for half of the week?  Maybe it's the camera crew's court-appointed aromatherapy and yoga class during that time.

I dunno, I'm too busy feeling jealousy.  One of my buddies has tickets right behind the Astros' dugout for 2 of the games.
