One Hour Photo

I couldn't believe Robin Williams was able to contain himself in this film. That in itself was a major achievement. Of course if you have the dvd all you have to do is watch the featurette and Charlie Rose segment to see that off-camera he let it all out......I don't think I've ever seen Charlie Rose giggle as much.

One is enough

It does feel like an extended post-season. The giants are still winning by one-run margins...and its become typical...though now people appear less tortured than before. Great weekend...we sweep the A's....wow! While analysts scratch their heads (again) at how the Giants remain on top of the division despite a weak offense...just goes to show how timely hitting is working. Personally though I just enjoy how this really is a team. There is no single person. It can be any of the regulars....Huff, Posey, or Sanchez.....but can also easily be anyone from the bench....like this A's series where Schierholtz, Ford, and Burris shined.

Redemption

Honestly, before this season, I only knew Ryan Vogelsong because he was the guy the Giants traded for Jason Schmidt...and given the greate service time we got out of him....Ryan easily drifted into memory. This weekend's game was heart-warming in that Ryan was able to work his way back to the Giants and delivered a solid performance. With a standing ovation on his exit and a tip of the cap to the fans, it was a nice moment.

A sprinkle of magic...

Ok, so the season hasn't been a roaring start. But this is still a team, and it just goes down to who are up to par on any given evening. And then there are days when you feel sprinkles of magic :). What a great day to have it on Willie Mays' birthday celebration at the park.
