Barry Bonds as the painted bird

Posted in TV, baseball, culture, entertainment, life, sports, television on August 1, 2007 | 7 Comments »

I turned on the Giants game last night and was amused, mildly surprised, and bemused by the thunderous boos Barry Bonds received at Dodger stadium. I heard later that it got vicious in parts of the stands, with at least one fight breaking out.
Which surprised me a bit because the Dodgers fans I’ve known have [...]

Okay, I had some leftovers from that tagging exercise, and am told I should have included some of these.
What, you didn’t like my idiosyncratic corporeal musings?

No relief for the Giants

Posted in baseball, entertainment, predictions, sports on June 7, 2007 | 6 Comments »

My fears about the Giants are gradually being realized. I was afraid their bullpen problems would come back to bite them in the butt, and it’s happening. Tuesday night the bullpen once again gave up the game in extra innings.

New York, New York — who turned the baseball standings upside down?

My Ernie Dog and Tony Oliva

Posted in animals, baseball, dogs, life, nature, pets, sports, walking on May 18, 2007 | 8 Comments »

We have a German shepherd mix (the mix probably something like greyhound — see what you think here) who has gone from young and fleet to acting like an old guy remarkably fast — it might be one of the fastest trips through middle age ever made.

III: Pranks, or Deception at Play

Porcine flight and the seamless media experience

Posted in TV, animals, art, baseball, entertainment, humor, life, television, thoughts on May 1, 2007 | 12 Comments »

After we watched a DVD together last night, I truly meant to relinquish the remote to my wife and head down to my ground floor den, with the computer cockpit and and the flat screen TV. To watch a ballgame, tend the blog, and let my wife watch high drama forensics, performed in tight clothes [...]

The little piranhas and the ripple effect

Posted in baseball, sports on April 25, 2007 | 2 Comments »

My Twins lost two out of three to lowly Kansas City and got swept in a two-game set at home by the Indians. They’ve lost four of five, and to the teams I picked to finish 4th and 5th in their division. Okay, it’s still early. Still I’m concerned about one Justin Morneau.
