Several of the Giants pitchers wrote bible verses on their Pride caps tonight. I’m glad they lost.

Saw this over on Bluesky and yeah, Charlie Koss is my new favorite Giant.

Love the baseball controversy surrounding the new Pope. His brother had to confirm that no, he is not a Cubs fan and has always been a White Sox fan. Maybe MLB Jesus will finally smile upon the Southsiders.

Congrats to Team Venezuela for winning the WBC!!

Sorry Team USA you don’t get cold McDonald’s for a silver medal.

Well that sucked. I've been prepared for a Dodger win all postseason, so...yeah. They have owners who spend like they want wins and not more real estate deals. I don't want a salary cap; I want Charles and Greg Johnson to care more about baseball and less about the Mission Rock development.

Love that Buster gave Devers such high baseball praise. “He’s a dude.”

It’s just great that the Giants fired their long time, Black, female, stadium announcer and then a couple years later hired Duane and Jeff Kuiper’s failbrother Glen—who dropped the N word during an A’s broadcast—as a broadcaster.

Just. Great.

I pointed this out on Bluesky, but honestly after all my years as a serious enough Giants fan that I listen to Spring Training on the radio, I must come clean. The Lemonade Man, who sells his lemonade by calling out, “Lemonade, Lemonade, just like grandma made!” or sometimes, “Lemonade, Lemonade, just like your mother made!”? That guy? He lies. The lemonade is way better than what either my mom or grandma made. Not that lemonade from concentrate is awful, but Lemonade Man’s lemonade is fucking next level.
