The San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers are playing (even as we speak) in my City.
So, even if you don't like baseball, sandwiched between the commercials between innings there are some spectacular scenes of san Francisco.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah: GO Giants! |

Ah, Bear. I might know you'd be watching the game.
Notice, they keep announcing, "...and there's no score".
Well, what's "no runs for either team," chopped liver?
The score is zero to zero!
Anyhow, it's a bit different from last nights slugfest,
but I admit to liking last night's game a whole lot. |

| Yeah, last night was spectacular. But they ARE right, there IS no score. Nobody's scored a run yet. If nobody ever scored, the game would go on literally forever with "no score" :-) Or, to put it another way, the game is currently a "scoreless tie" :-) |

Yeah, but unless they start saying something there's gonna be 20 million people who the the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is the Golden gate ...
 Note that the cross-ties on the towers are on the diagonal (forming an "X" pattern); on the Golden Gate bridge they are horizontal, forming rectangular openings. Also, for all the hoopla about constructing the GGB, the Bay Bridge was built at just about the same time, albeit in a somewhat more forgiving environment ...

...you know, this is one whopper of a good game!
and  generalE, our TV friends may never know there's another span involved here.
The one from Treasure Island to Oakland! |

Alice turn off your sound! Tim McCarver and Joe Buck will rot your brain. The worst duo Fox could have picked. Listen to the magnificent John Miller with Kruk and Kype. They will tell you things that are worth hearing. AM 680
Did you catch this gem last night?
The crowd was cheering "Barry, Barry, Barry" for Zito
Tim McCarver "That is not a sound Zito has been hearing too often around these parts."
Buck "They used to say it for somebody else around here”
McCarver “When Barry Manilow was playing in a concert?”

Oh, that was a nice game.
 BrennanOB, I didn't think to turn on the radio, but I
did finally just turn off the sound. Those guys were
driving me Nuts! (I know, it wouldn't take much)
Anyhow, it was much easier to watch the splendid
fielding and good hitting without the jabber.
I will take your advice for game three on Saturday.
Love the story about the Barry dialog. |

| I didn't even know it started. The season. Way out of touch. Cecil Fielder starting? :) |

Yup, the former Padre. Works for ESPN now. (Belay that :-) And the "Kype" Brennan's referring to is actually is actually "Kuipe"... And the starting Fielder is Prince Fielder, not Cecil... He's Cecil's son.

OOOH, my bad :-) I assumed it was John Kruk, him being in the biz and all... |

| John Kruk (rhymes with "duck") is out of it (ESPN doesn't have coverage for this round) ... as is poor Dave Flemming, the Giants' second banana on radio, who's being partially displaced by K&K, who are usually on the Giants' local TV coverage during the regular season. |

Was McCarver serious? or trying to make a joke? |

Buck kept giving him a hard time about it, and the interplay seemed like it was a real "Doh" moment.

Same advice would have worked in the 80's when McCarver was part of the Mets TV broadcasts. Those guys couldn't hold a candle to the late Bob Murphy and the radio guys. As for Buck, he proves that sometimes talent (or a pulse) is not in your genes. |

| Don't forget the old Padres announcer, Jerry Coleman; he was a master of the art, and perhaps the only announcer ever to graduate to managing a major league team. I know he had the job, I'm not sure any other announcer was ever similarly promoted? |

| My problem with most baseball announcers today is they don't understand how to let the game breathe....I miss the likes of Jack Brickhouse, Jack Buck, etc. |

Once upon a time, there was Lon Simmons. The announcer for the Giants when such greats as McCovey, Mays, Marichal, Chris Spier and (Barry's daddy) Bobby Bonds were playing. I remember, once, when the crowd at Candlestick was in the neighborhood of 1,200 people(yes, 1,200) and the team was playing brilliantly, Lon announced: "why don't you all come up to the house for drinks after the game."
Anyhow, he was one of a kind - a good kind. |

The Giants have had the best radio guys I have ever heard. They kept the best, they had some really bad guys who they dumped quickly.
Russ Hoges, Lon Simmons, Bill King, and Jon Miller are some of the best ever.
Nice to see that guys like Tim McCarver and Joe Morgan could not last more than a year in the Giant's broadcast booth; sadly the networks that have rights to the World Series have lower standards. |
