Sanchez No Hitter!!!

Talk about redemption! Finally, ESPN is spending lots of air time for the Giants.

Good job, Johnny!

Vote for Pedro!...er.....Pablo!

Whoppp!.....a grand slam on the way and with Duane Kuiper making the push...vote for Pedro for the all-star game! He's just fun to watch and a real bolt of lightning to the offense. And with a lovable call sign of Panda, doesn't that just put a smile on your face?

Public Enemies

I like how Michael Mann presented the film in waves of intensity as opposed to the typical build-up approach. You can't miss how beautiful Marion is....as if this era was where she was meant to be.... The sound of Tommy guns showering bullets makes this a must-have for anyone with a good sound system...and of you want more bass, the Browning Automatic Rifles will please you on that end. I do wish there was more done to substantiate the bond between Dillinger and Frechette. As expected, Johnny brings a very unique dimension to his character.

The Big Sadowski

Holy Cow! I'm really impressed with how the farm system has produced a formidable roster of players. Ryan Sadowski feels like a potential starter (and may push out Jonathan Sanchez). Also great to see Eli Whiteside still in the roster (an added plus that he's caught Sadowski before in Triple-A) and they make a good team. I look forward to seeing more of this tandem.

Up

I'm sure the kids loved the adventure with Doug (and the other talking canines), Russell, and the exotic bird......but for me, personally, all I enjoyed was the side story of Carl and Ellie. I can understand why the film couldn't stay focused on them......I mean, it's a Disney film.....hmmm, am wishing Pixar never sold out to them. It would be interesting to see Pixar do animation for an older demographic.....but maybe this opens the door for other production companies.

The team so far...

The team appears to be getting in a rythm and that's good news.

• The starting pitching is holding strong (good to see Zito getting consistent and more confident).
• The bullpen has also toughened up (Romo and Affeldt have held up well).
• Schierholtz is being rewarded for making good contact (and sadly Lewis has gone back in a slump)
• The pickup of Uribe is paying dividends.
• Burriss is consistent and clearly the better choice than Frandsen.
• Torres is an excellent utility right now. Whiteside shows promise as well.
• Sandoval is....well....the Panda! (....and Bengie is.....the Big Panda!)

Hermione no more

I'm not into fashion really, but seeing Emma be the new face of Burberry.....she's absolutely stunning.

Randy's 300th

Watching Randy dive and throw to first like that.....not bad for a 45-year old, huh? Congrats on reaching 300, man!
