It's Got to Be the Morning After

sp_athletics108.jpgGiants 4 Cubs 2- See, the Giants score more than three runs and the Giants win, although we use the word"score" loosely as the winning two runs came on a bases loaded walk and an infield squibbler that just avoided going foul. The big Giants news, however, has been the resigning re-signing of Brian Sabean and attendant gnashing of teeth by Giants fans. While we're not sure we want to defend Sabes or the decision, we do think he might not be the droid Giants fans are looking for. More like the Scooter Libby. In last week’s Sports Illustrated, there’s a quote about what a super stupendous owner the Angels' Artie Moreno is by an unidentified GM who says that Moreno is "...an owner who wants to win. I mean, really wants to win... who, from the minute he wakes up, is all about whether he wins or loses that day." We don't think that's necessarily true of Magowan.

Rangers 11 A's 4- Now that it’s been confirmed that the Harry Potter book has been leaked online, we’re totally terrified of going online. Without even trying, we've been spoiled on a few things and we weren't even looking at Harry Potter stories. It’s become obvious that the best thing to do from here on out is to not even go online until we finish the book just to keep from getting more spoiled. And we’re not talking just pop culture sites or entertainment sites, but sports sites and news sites too. We're completely terrified that, like, we'll be in the middle of reading Frank Rich's latest screed against the administration and right in the middle of it, he'll say something like "excuses to stay in Iraq are deader than Voldermort after Luna Lovegood summoned a patronus of a giant bucktooth ferret to kill him” (note: not a real spoiler) And speaking of things sucking, the A's got clobbered by the Rangers.

When I first read your piece on the Giants, I thought, "Holy shit! Sabean RESIGNED? Right after signing an extension?" And off I went to try to learn more. Oh. I get it. You might want to consider saying "re-signing" instead.

 

For a second there I thought you all had scooped the sports world. Then it came to me. SF ain't a sports town and y'all don't know the difference between "resign" and "re-sign". If this had been Boston, or NYC, or St Louis where they love their baseball clubs, you'd have been sleepin' with the fishes.

 

Fixed it. Freudian slip, perhaps?

 

Yeah, it's good you fixed it, Jon, but don't be surprised if you wake up with a horse's head next to you in bed.
