Are You Ready For Some Football?

[Langenator]

Probably the most memorable (for me) games I ever went to was a 1-0 game. Giants - Dodgers at the 'Stick, 1987. Giants journeyman pitcher Mike LaCoss threw a 10 inning shutout, and the Giants won with a run in the bottom of the 10th.

The game was preceded by an Old Timers Game, re-enacting Game 7 of the 1962 Series, Giants vs Yankees. In re-enacting the final at bat, Willie McCovey parked one in the upper deck in right field, a mere 5 feet foul. My dad and I were sitting 10 feet into fair territory.

Giants won the NL West that year, then lost in the LCS to the Cards in 7 games.

One of the things I miss most from being a kid is listening to baseball on the radio in the evenings, or daytime on weekends. Even KNBR can't reach the east coast, and I go to bed before the West coast night games start anyway. Stupid time zones.

It really, really is. Soccer for pasty folks. And I'm amongst the pastiest. I love me some hockey.

Well, since the Ravens have proved they aren't above the same kind of "look the other way while our players screw the pooch" as everyone else, I have kind of become disenchanted, at least a little. BUT... SEAHAWKS! Just because I still have a soft spot in my heart for the old home team, and they look set to beat much ass again this season. And since I lived in Texas from 1965 to 1975, may I just say, "Screw the Cowboys!" Damn, I got tired of hearing about them. "America's Team?" When did we vote on THAT?
