This is for our good buddy KG.
Small aside: this new-fangled idea of crossing the International Date Line and playing ballgames in the future before Opening Day is just weird. Not necessarily bad, just ... weird.
Anyway, here is a little tribute to our Bums from the Sixties. And yes, KG my good fellow, envy me a little. I watched them in real time. Mostly on TV, it is true, but I watched them. Wills, Howard, Fairly, the Brothers Davis, Roseboro, the magnificent twosome of Koufax and Drysdale. I saw them all.
And by the way, we're 2 and 0 so far, whuppin' up on the hated J'ints.
Posted by Ken S at April 2, 2008 07:09 PM | TrackBack (0) |I grew up a SF Giants fan.Maybe, that's why I'm so
weird?
I did touch Willie Mays' head one time.He was playing in a charity game for the American Legion
semi-pro teams.Vida Pinson was on team and Willie
Mays was on another.Willie Mays was leaning against
a cyclone fence waiting to bat,and I touched his head through the cyclone fence.He turned around and looked at me.I was like seven,but I remember it still.
Greg, I hope you sought out treatment for the abuse you suffered as a child. I mean, who would let their kid grow up a fan of the team who shall not be named?

Posted by: Padres Fan Named Sous at April 2, 2008 10:50 PMSo, how'd Hoffman do tonight?
Posted by: KG at April 2, 2008 11:03 PMWe forgive you, Sous. We know it's from living too close to TJ.
Hoffman? He still in the league?
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 3, 2008 06:10 AMForgive him? Sous is right. The Dodgers do suck. I think we've got a civil war brewing on our hands here.

Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 3, 2008 08:14 AMDunno how he did, I can't get any team on the TV up here excepte the damned Mariners (AL is NOT real Baseball). I know he got the save on Tuesday.
Posted by: Padres Fan Named Sous at April 3, 2008 10:50 AMThe save sucks. Most useless stat in sports.
Posted by: nightfly at April 3, 2008 11:14 AMNot well. Season ERA is up to 21.6.
Still early, though.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 3, 2008 11:16 AMThat save was a Padres win, which is the only stat I care about.
Posted by: Padres Fan Named Sous at April 3, 2008 03:33 PMAt least the Dodgers, Giants and Padres don't suck as hard as the Yankees.
Posted by: Tainted Bill <--worships the Mets at April 3, 2008 05:57 PMBill, I think we can all agree on that point. And second it with the Red Saux sucking longer and harder than los yanquis.
Posted by: KG at April 3, 2008 08:34 PMAnd lo, the tainted one speaks the deep truth of the ages....
Posted by: Padres Fan Named Sous at April 3, 2008 09:11 PMIndeed. It is something we can all agree on.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at April 4, 2008 05:57 AMThey're hateful, but truthfully.... Los Janquis don't suck. That's what makes hating them so necessary.
Now the Orioles suck out loud - and as a result, nearly nobody cares.
