Someone bought a Zunino jersey? The Mariners merchandise department has just commissioned a focus group study to figure out how they can get him to buy the other one, once they figure out where it is hidden in their storeroom.

No no no. This is a goat on a lamb:

Our daughter was like that. Endless crying and would only sleep in her car seat.

Understandable. As a Will Clark fan, that series was the pinnacle of all things. I knew with every fiber of my being that he would get that hit off Wild Thing in Game 5.

I had an inconsequential summer job at a software company in 1989. Dave Dravecky was scheduled to make a start for the Giants on a Thursday afternoon in August to begin a miraculous comeback from cancer in his pitching arm. Even without the emotional circumstances of Dravecky’s return, it was a day that promised to be…

Very sketchy. Still, there is a very easy way for the prospective BMW buyer to protect him or herself from one of the car’s most significant potential faults without even taking the car anywhere:

Just assume that every jpg and gif of the “take my money” variety is cut and pasted right here.

As we waited for the hours to count down to the start of the new year a few months ago, the whole family gathered around the TV to find something to watch until midnight.  Amazingly, we stumbled across a Knight Rider marathon. To much howling and derision, I was finally able to introduce my kids to one of the defining…

The Giants entered the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead. Strickland took the mound, and here’s how it went from there:

Give me baseball scoring every time over the basketball clock. I often felt a sudden compulsion to hunt for wayward basketballs behind the bleachers or retrieve something from my car just to stay away from my son’s coaches when they started to look for someone to take up that miserable task.

Thanks to many years of being the scorer for my son’s teams. You pick up a thing or two along the way, especially when you have to defend yourself against a dad demanding a hit for his kid, or demanding an error if his kid is pitching.

Fielder’s choice, no error. The batter could have been retired but the fielder chose to go after the lead runner - FC by rule. No error because the pitcher simply used poor judgment in not throwing back to second to get Yelich. (Comment to Rule 10.12(a)(1).)

The Raiders decided they only needed one Christian QB.

Godspeed, Dwight.

To be fair, there’s a lot of forehead to whack.

His sense of humor is Canada dry.
