R.i.p. Mr. Bruce. For as brilliant as Clapton's guitar line is on "Crossroads," Jack Bruce's bass line is right there keeping pace neck and neck. He was quite a talent.

That was intense. I felt like we were one hit away from the game turning in to a complete disaster. Going down 3-1 to those guys would not have been fun. Tomorrow's game is going to be insane. Have a great time, Al!

Hard to win when Buster and Panda combine to do diddly squat.

Speaking of monsters, one of my pet peeves is that people refer to the Frankenstein Monster as Frankenstein. Hasn't anyone seen the movies or read the book!? Frankenstein is the doctor. The Monster is either just "the Monster" or "the Frankenstein Monster."

The Simpsons World website finally launched this week with every single episode they've ever done available for streaming! I know what I'm going to be watch for the next few months. http://www.simpsonsworld.com/

While Strickland was coming in I was telling my Dad that every time Strickland either looks good or is a complete disaster.... Yup.

First blood has been drawn! I got to hear the big first inning and Bum get out of the 2nd and 3rd with no one out jam right before I had to head in to the council chambers. By the time I got back in the car after our agenda item we were tacking on our 6th and 7th runs. It sounds like I caught the good parts of the game I get the feeling if the Giants get game 2 this series might be over before it really gets started. **crosses fingers*** Lets see how things go tonight. MLB would like this to go the distance but I'll take a sweep, please. Gotta love Panda. He is my favorite position player on the team for the joy he brings to the game and for how sneaky athletic he actually is at his size. In the post game interview Dave Flemming asked him what he thought of the noise level of the Royals fans before the game. His response? "Normal, pretty normal, nothing like our fans back in SF." Clearly a lie, but we love you anyways, Panda.

This morning I learned that I have to drive out with one of the partners at my firm from our office in Marin to go to 7PM city council meeting in the central valley. So much for watching game one on TV. At least there should be plenty of time to listen to John Miller and co. call a good chunk of the game on KNBR on the ride out. It beats the hell out of listening to Joe Buck.

Happy Birthday, DC!

You'd think ticket prices would be cheaper seeing as how we've been so often. Totally not the case. Everyone knows what a good time it is and prices are as high as they've ever been. Over the years I've been to every round of the playoffs except the World Series. I know I just bought a new car, but still, I'm going to try like hell to be there! I get the feeling its going to be a great series. I'd love to see the Giants sweep, but the Royals sure look like they come to play and play hard.

Touché!

Not sure I would ever compare the Ishi walk-off to Bobby Thompson.

You know, I remembered having so much fun celebrating in the rain the last time we dispatched these guys in game 7 two years ago that I thought, what the hell, lets do it. Last night was more fun.

Wow. That was awesome. I thought we were done until that Morse hit. One of the biggest most timely hits I've ever seen. And that Afeldt out in the 9th. Wow. Congrats to Ishi for bringing it home.

Me personally, no. But people at my office? Yes. I'm not sure I would advise someone to get the iMac 5k when you can get one of those new mini's and pair it with a 599 dell 4k display for basically half the price.

Running off a laptop GPU? Thanks but no thanks.

MVP of the series so far? The Giants bullpen. Outside of Bum, every starting pitcher in this series has been toast. With the exception of game 2 the pen has been lights out all post season. I still can't believe we won the 18 inning game. Also, nice to see Buster step up and play like the superstar he is. Man are the Giants ever lucky to have him. He is the fulcrum the rest of the team pivots around.

Congrats to KC. Hopefully a few days rest cools them off a bit.

Phew. Did not want to lose that one. First game I've ever seen won by bunt-off.

Day game? No problem! Fox Sports Go app working like a charm.

I'm trying to get some tickets for Wednesday or Thursday night, but damn are people ever asking a lot. For the price of 4 good seats I could practically go out and get a 70" TV.

Ouch. Great game. Sucks to lose.

One down for the Giants, three to go. Can we change Pablo Sandoval's name to Senor Octobre? That was a balk, but thankfully the game wasn't close enough that it really mattered all that much. I kind of enjoyed the alternative broadcast, although I felt myself switch over the the regular broadcast early in the game. The alternative broadcast struggled early with focusing on the game action during high leverage situations, but they got quite a bit better as the game went on.

I liked the Rolling Thunder Revue, but this one is better:
