While we might be broken up with Barry, he does seem to have his fans. Like this lady who tried to say goodbye in her own, personal way. Too bad security got to her before she could give Barry that hug she so obviously wanted to give (he probably could have used it). Heck, too bad security got to her before Lou Seal could have taken matters into his own hands. And too bad it wasn't Morgana the Kissing Bandit.

It's not enough that the Dodgers seem to win at will in our house, but Dodger fans are starting to get a little cocky too. Memo to Dodger fans: this is our house-- if you want to beat the stuffing out of us in baseball go ahead, we don't care anymore. But just don't go messing with Lou Seal.

Friend of SFist David Lilienstein was out in the Cove yesterday and took this photo of one of the denizens. If you want to read what it was like out there, check out Jim Caple's excellent write up in ESPN.com and if you want to see more photos, you can see the Flickr stream here and SFGate's phenomenal pictures here.

It is our opinion that AT&T Park is the most beautiful place on God's green earth. That doesn't mean, however, that we think the experience of watching games there can't be improved. If we had our druthers, we think they could improve things by selling cheap beer. Followed by cheap beer. And failing that, more cheap beer. But that's just us.

Fog City Journal is reporting that Matt Gonzalez has been in talks with a campaign manager, Nicole Derse, about running. We're all guessing it's for Mayor but who knows with Matt? We've heard speculation that he might be going for Kamala's job. Or maybe he's doing his patented "wait for the right moment" thing to try and snag a spot on "American Idol?" We hear his rendition of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" is pretty amazing.

want to run for mayor against Gavin Newsom? Isn't there's someone out there who's dying for a chance to answer the Board of Supervisors' questions once a month? So here's everyone's current status:

The polls are closed and the readers have spoken-- It's Mirkarimi! Yes, with over 1/4 of the vote, Ross Mirkarimi beat out such heavyweights as Chris Daly, Matt Gonzalez, and Lou Seal to win the first official SFist Mayoral Poll. Was it the soul patch? The stylish hair? All the work to make it easier to buy dope? Either way, if SFist had it's way, it'll be Mayor McHottie vs. Supervisor McDreamy (or as a reader put it- Supervisor MIRKAdreamy) in a Mayoral Hot off. Congratulations Ross and let the rumors and idle speculation begin.

So we're a little bit more than half-way through our "Who Should Run Against Gavin" poll and so far, as you can see, people are looking for a Mayoral Hot Off. Right behind is Lou Seal, our personal fave just because Mayor Seal has a ring to it and it'll mean hours of photoshop fun for the SFist editors. We also have to say we're a little surprised Ms. Mountz is not doing as well as we thought she would: everyone seems to love the Mountz. So here's the poll (after the jump) again and remember, last day to vote is by Friday morning. There's been some wonky issues with the site that's hosting the contest so if something goes wrong, try and try again.

Now that Gavin has stopped playing coy and moved ahead with his re-election plans, the question is who will step up to run against Mr. 80% Approval Ratings? It's the parlor game anyone can play! So far, the question has been pondered in the Bay Guardian, Beyond Chron, and yesterday's Matier & Ross column. And the answer, so far? Nobody has the cajones to.

Ha ha ha ha -- they threw Chris Daly into a swimming pool! Commenter El Greco and photographer Drew Altizer earn a sweet spot in our heart for passing along their pictures of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Center Pool Toss event on Tuesday. As promised, Daly wore a suit.

Only five more weeks to go until the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates An Endorsement.

n a promotion that worked way beyond anyone could have thought, the Giants held '80s night for last Friday night's game against the A's. They played 80's music, they busted out their old orange uni tops, they played old commercials, and they even made it cold and foggy at AT&T just to give it that old Candlestick feeling. And then they took it to another level. They busted out Crazy Crab. The Crab Revolution will be televised.

SFist, the Bosworth of the Crab Revolution, attended the Crustacean Commotion and can report that a fine time was had by all. How could people not when wearing funny hats, carrying signs like "Jeffrey Leonard Believes" or chanting "More Crab, Less Seal. Bring back that Crazy Crab!" While the protest numbered a small but vocal crowd in the twenties, their voices were definitely heard. Giants' faithful gave them high-fives and newbys gave them quizzical glances. A counter-protestor even followed along in support of Lou Seal.
