Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

An age old mystery. That arbitrary zone that is superimposed is just that. Every ump calls it a bit differently, and there is quite a bit of difference between AL and NL zones as well. It's the pitcher's and batters' job to know each umpire's zone and adjust accordingly. Umps even vary the zone from game to game that I've seen. I think the broadcasters put the zone up there just to invite and make commentary.

Good game and all, but what or who was that singing GBA in the 7th inning? That gave Roseanne a run for the money.  Only in the bay area. hmm

Did not see it.  I avoid Starring Spangled Banners and God Bless Armiracles unless it is hockey, especially if the opening involves Oh! Canada! prior or following the former. 


For the official scorecard record, Roseanne Barr is actually, honestly, a pretty decent singer.  Not recording artist caliber, just saying.  That was all bs theatrics back then...


Consecutive days of SUPER Superb pitching by the Giants, niiiccccce!  big_smile

You missed one there Rocket. I was at first thinking over the top drag queen? A totally outlandish outfit and a hat with a city on it! Ah, I found it. It is a local deal, famous only there I guess. http://www.thefastertimes.com/mlb/2010/ … -headgear/

Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

This is San Francisco baby!......we kinda different than most cities, you want to get your mind blown, go to some of the festivities held year round lol ....when I first started in the Postal Service, I worked in the Mission District (a latin community), but one day in my first week they sent me to the Castro District, which is the hub of the gay area.....there was a gay parade that day, I got goosed 5 times carrying the mail yikes ...I came back from the street and told the boss what happened and I would quit if I was ever sent there again, he just laughed sad ....let me get back to the topic some what, I hear there is one particular Giant whos picture hangs in many stores in the Castro, and he is NOT gay.....poor guy.....I dont judge people, to each there own, but getting whistled at is extremely uncomfortable.....hey, I'm not putting anyone down, just another Shreddy story (remember years back when I would tell them frequently on the forum?)

The weather is alot of rain today, and it's coming down good in Sacramento right now, we are 2 hours from Giants ballpark, so I hope they get the game in.....the Cardinals are going to fight to the end, they scare me

Love the playoffs!!!!....and my city by the bay smile

Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

These Giants are really making me nervous....dang defense is simply amazing! My Cardinals better show up tonight.... no more time left for either team.

I am hoping it is a stellar showdown with both sides at their best for an EPIC GAME 7 showdown!!!! Now of course I hope the Cardinals come out on top!!!!! Can't wait for game time and CHEERS to a classic show down from both sides.

LET'S GO BIRDS!!!!!!!

Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

I dig Shred. I spent many months in the city while stationed there. We had an outrageous gay revue show here when I was a teen that was all the rage. Went many times. To each his or her own as you say. I hope whoever wins tonight (rain  go away) has something left for the Tigers. Maybe that AL nemesis has gotten cold waiting. I know it is going to be dinger city in that Detroit bandbox.

Well Rick, as you already have heard that was the Val Diamond character from Beach Blanket Babylon, a SF institution in the theater scene here for decades. The woman who performed last night has recently replaced a good friend of mines daughter Stephanie Harwood who performed with BBB for the past 3-4 years. Steph sang the anthem at many Giants games as well as the Nascar race @ Sonoma and other events around the Bay. Check Steph out on youtube, she's got the gift and teaches vocals as well. Did you have the sound off or something? That woman knocked that song outta the park.
