Ray Durham's apparently first-ever walk-off homer yesterday brought a thrilling win for my boys. Being on the East Coast, I had been following the game on Yahoo.com. But, oh me of little faith. After the Jints failed to score with runners on first and third, with the team down 7-5 in the 8th, I pretty much gave up and went to walk the dog. (Nice walk. Magic light. Put the game out of mind.)
What a shocker to come back and discover the Giants had snagged a big W!
I've been a fan since 1955.
How's that for timing? (They had just won the 1954 World Series and I asked my older brother Richard who his favorite baseball team was.)
Someday maybe I'll get hypnotized to relive those moments that I probably witnessed as a 5-year-old in front of a black and white TV with a screen the size of a postage stamp, cigarette smoke of adults swirling around us.
They'll never get closer.
Not in my lifetime.
Six outs away in 2002.
Sadly, I agree with Gwen Knapp of the San Francisco Chronicle (www.sfgate.com) that the team's living in the past when it comes to Mr. Bonds. And I agree with the estimable Henry Shulman that this is unfortunately just a .500 team.
Trade Bonds now. Get someone in return for him.
Let's begin the New Era (not an endorsement to the cap company).
By the way, I stuck with the Giants when they moved from New York to San Francisco for two reasons:
Willie
and
Mays.

Hey PK. Glad you like the site. I hate news so that's why I decided to write it like I want to read it.
Glad to add you as a link.
You don't sound as stodgy as you think and who cares how copy writer [sic] is spelled.
Look forward to reading you and keeping up with your world.
As for my site, check all AP style, as for fact checking, fuck it, it's pointless! LOL
PS: Please turn off message verifyer.
hey man, anyone who sails on the same boat as me via adhd is a partner in crime.
I think that's why I made a good reporter because I could work on 10 stories at the same time and keep myself amused.

I saw that you traded links on the bested blog of all time. I'm doing the same with my blog, but only actively. Interested? I'll put a link to your blog on mine. You do the same on yours, and I'll keep my link.
My blog is experimental. I have an agreement with 4 of my brilliant friends to experiment with whatever comes to mind. It is an ode to expression in the purest form. We just started, so there aren't a lot of post yet.
hope you join.
