Putting the Rings In a Safe Place and Getting Down to Business
I can’t get enough of the ring-bling-thing.
I love all of it. I didn’t care for the designs of most of them until probably the late 70’s when the Yankees started pouring the diamonds all over those things. The rings pre-70’s just look like class rings. There’s nothing special about a class ring, at least in how it looks.
Marty Lurie was fishing for topics on Sunday night and he took several calls on how these ceremonies could be done differently. In other words, he was saying that this first home weekend was a distraction to the team and that’s why they lost 2 of 3 to the Cardinals. You know your team is on top of the baseball world when talk-show callers are lamenting those dang championship celebrations and the detrimental effects they have on the players. Jeez.
I think the only change I might make is to combine the flag raising with the ring-getting and maybe do Buster’s MVP trophy a week or two later. But that’s only if I was looking to fix something that really isn’t broken. And the day Larry Baer gives up an opportunity to sell tickets to an event is a day we won’t see happen.
Anyway, they’re back to their routines, their *creature of habit-ness*, and their *focus* has found it’s long lost *re*. It’s time to settle in for the grind of the 2013 baseball season. Our view from atop the peak of this great mountain is crystal clear. In fact, the sun couldn’t shine any brighter off a diamond than it does for Giants fans today…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I think Blade said something earlier today about a bad Rocks bullpen. Looks like he’s got it railed…
To answer Snarrk’s question to me above if Timmy is put in the pen, I don’t know who would start in his place, but I certainly would assume and feel comfortable doing so that the team wouldn’t move him to the pen unless/until they had someone who could start in his place…..
And, very nice comeback, boys, wins like this one really help. No way these guys will allow this team to just be a .500 team… I hope…. 🙂
Man, that was sweet. Too many times I’ve seen the Rockies overcome a big deficit like that at Coors to beat the Giants. To quote Mr. Dylan, “How does it feel?”
Our vandals stole the handle [from the Rox].
Baggarly tweet: tonight’s HR was Crawford’s first opposite field mlb bomb. Portends well. I liked the swing.
And trashing LIncecum at this point is juvenile fantasy. But, of course, . . . .
Awesome comeback tonight. I’ll be there tomorrow, trying to bring the sweep home.
Enjoy, Z, and yep, bring it home…
