Two Flaps Up For Bernice….

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 6, 2023

A couple of you guys have mentioned this, .500 is a roller coaster ride, man. It just is. Back to the grind today in Chicago. Lots of weather in MLB today, four games already postponed.

I got to talk with San Dawg for a few minutes last night. Sad to hear about his mom passing but know there is relief in many ways with that happening. A couple weeks ago we had it planned to golf tomorrow at Crystal Springs and then hit the Giants game on Saturday. Both are up in the air now for obvious reasons.

But I hope one or both still happens. He and I have always talked about “salad days.” It’s loosely taken from the movie Raising Arizona but it’s not the same thing. Basically a salad day is a day you have where you stop to appreciate its awesomeness because you don’t know if you’ll ever get another day like it again. No matter how old you are, but especially as you age, in some ways, salad days are all that’s left to look forward to.

So I hope I see you my man, but if you can’t swing it that’s ok, too.

And to my old man who is reading this up in Medford this morning, I just want you to know that I love you and I appreciate you. I just wanted to say it. I can think of more than a few salad days you and I have had together…..

San dog sorry to hear you lost Mom. Estes on post game thought Giants got burned couple times by ground balls that would have not have been hits last year. So lack of shift will give some benefits to hitter but can also hurt pitching.

SD, so sorry for your loss. We’re all thinking about you and your family.

SD, very sorry to hear about your mom. A tough loss.

Thanks again guys.
Flav—I think we are going to make both events happen.
Dr. V—-I wish you could get out there with us like you did last time.
Still a great memory, even though I almost collapsed in the oppressive Milbrae heat.
A shameful performance by someone raised just outside Sactown!
Go Kings!

MY BOY SABOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he out? Still no Streameast. Guess I’m glad I re-upped my MLB audio deal.

Wood not being able to go 4 is so irritating.

Heartfelt condolences, Sandog.
My Mom passed 12 years ago. Miss her, but the memories are strong.
Whenever I see my younger snarkette in a certain way or movement, I clearly see my Mom in her…

Giants aren’t horsing around today! 4 Bombs 💣 12 in the series from 9 different players!
unca_chuck said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:23 pm

Sabol on fire. 3-4.
Flavor said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:35 pm

San Dawg just confirmed that golf is ON tomorrow. That, couple with our seats in section 112 for the game on Sat and we have the makings for 2 pretty solid salad days in a row…..
unca_chuck said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:37 pm

Feast or fast . . .

EX-METS RULE!!!
snarkk said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:54 pm

Wow.
HRs are us !…
unca_chuck said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:55 pm

Jeeeeeeebus. Save some for later.
alleykat69 said, on April 6, 2023 at 1:57 pm

JD Davis just confirmed that no position player should ever pitch as he crushes the 5th Hr of the day and a record 13 in the series…

  Beaty should not have been in there either. He was terrible.
djloo27 said, on April 6, 2023 at 2:04 pm

Look what they’ve done to my game…
Winder said, on April 6, 2023 at 2:05 pm

Wow, just incredible.
alleykat69 said, on April 6, 2023 at 2:26 pm

So if you use the disengagement rule, does that work for women too?

If Giants apportioned 35 runs they scored Saturday, Monday and today over six games to date, they’d be undefeated. Time to defend home turf against last place Royals.

Big game for Wilmer today, so I guess that means he won’t start again for another week.
Macdog said, on April 6, 2023 at 4:10 pm

Giants got swept at home by the White Sox last season, including 13-4 in the series finale, so this was a nice little payback.

Curious that Jon Miller has at least a couple times this week included in his HR call “you can tell it goodbye”… Is he honoring Lon Simmons this year for some reason?

  Remember those well.
mrsprtdude said, on April 6, 2023 at 9:25 pm

A good day. I watched some masters today. Many salad days watching with my dad. I miss him, and hoping you are doing ok pete.
- PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on April 6, 2023 at 9:34 pm
  
  Yeah, that was a great way of saying it by Craig, salad days with Dad. So many. From being a very small boy and Pops taking me to the old Yankee Stadium in the Mantle/Maris days, to taking me to a game as a senior in high school knowing it would be the last time I’d go to a game with him, just so I could see Hank Aaron before he retired. Miss him everyday, 8 years later, and sometimes still have to remind myself he’s gone…
