This is my favorite promotion this year, with the rally cap in close second. I get the feeling that the organization is coming around. The advertising is getting better. It’s more about the players and the game. It’s orange for crying out loud.

It’s going to be a fun season to be a Giants fan.

5144 miles from At&t park, the Giants fan base becomes electrified. It’s as if visions where plucked from my dreams by the super mutant raising scientists of Tokyo, Japan.

It’s beautiful.

I haven’t written much as of late. I’ve been trying to find something good to be hopeful about. All I have thus far is our new aquisistions are playing well, and the rookies are playing better than we expected.

If I see you at the park, I hope you’re  wearing orange.

I don’t know what else to say other than,

“I feel sick.”

To everyone who jumped all over Benitez today for blowing the game . . . don’t. He blew the save (yes jimmy, there is a difference.)

There was a problem with getting squeezed by the umpire. Those watching from home saw it - a strike teacup like zone. But let’s not forget that Armando managed to get out of that inning without letting another run score. He lost the save to a mental lapse. It hurt, it happens, it sucks, get over it. He proved he could handle the escalated pressure by shaking it off and getting out of the inning without losing the game. We could talk about Mr. Wilson, but why hate? We just won 5 out of our last 6 games people, no reason to hate.

I will also point out that this was the first blown save in 8 outings. Last I checked that’s pretty damned good. 87.5% like a 3.5 GPA, how many of the haters out there can boast a 3.5 GPA at a top 50 school? How many of you can hit 9 out of 10 free throws. How many of you can do it to win a game? series? Championship? They guy is doing well. He is becoming a good closer. Not great yet, but good.

So I say if your going to jump all over a guy for getting an A- in closing, Don’t.
