I don't get why people have been getting so worked up about these early spring training games.

Much joy in Mudville tonight. Much yelling, honking and screaming, doubt if I will get much sleep tonight.

City Hall, Coit Tower all look beautiful lit up for the Giants.

Wish my Dad were here for this, he'd be ecstatic.

Wow, Moonie. I didn't know that. I also thought it was a charity or at least a tribute.

Alex · 11-02-2010, 12:39 PM

I just thought it was a fad.

Guess I was right. A really stupid fad. Lani mentioned you could buy them on MLB.com (though I don't know how they're described) for something like $60.

Yes, you're right, it was exciting to watch a post-season where great pitching, solid defense and just enough timely hitting ground down supposedly more explosive teams.

Three cheers for our merry band of poets and collectivist bakery owners!

Went to part of the parade just because it was only two blocks away. Lots of excitement and really miss working for Wells where I'd have been able to watch it from my cube (with an openable window even).

Had a noon meeting I couldn't miss so I got to see the Front Office staff go by but had to leave before any players were seen.

The parade route started just the other side of Alcoa plaza, I walked over to the Safeway for cat food before the parade. On the way back on ground level I was at the right spot at the right time, just before Edgar Renteria got on the mock cable car, he was shaking hands. So I got about 2 seconds of his time. kinda fun. I think I caught his attention as I was the only person on the street not in orange and black.

A most excellent skewering of the "Health Bands" we discussed earlier by The Bad Astronomer.

Including a de-bunk of the balance test.

In the Holy **** category....

I'm visiting my dad, and he gave me a bit a Baseball memorabilia. A three page hand written letter from Ty Cobb.

I guess I'm not checking my bag on the way home.
