Giants win!!!!  Sharks win!!!

Another great night at the Tank. Sharks defeat the Flames. A lot of rough housing but that's the Calgary way I think. Pricks.
Lotsa action and we get pizza with a score of 4. Did well Sunday too.

Speaking of Flames.... not funny but a heckuva sight to see. After leaving the tank, getting on 87 and getting to 101 (I think I was on 101 already but not sure), there are police lights ahead. Lo and behold a freaking car is on the side of the road engulfed in flames. Full on colorful fire with black smoke. Wild. Only a cop car behind it. No fire trucks, nothing.

Calgary fans who left the game early? :lol:


4 in the net... a car fire you get!  I think they took the "Flames" monicker to extremes, no?  I was there Sun too. Unfortunately, nobody in SF honors the free pizza thing.

GLORIOUS day at the ballpark. Wish the Giants didn't get spanked so badly but that's the way it went. Can only get better.
Vida Blue sat behind me for about an inning and a half. Chatted with people behind me and I talked a little to him. Last Friday I met a bunch of the players and he posed for a few pictures with me and signed one of my b-balls. He was nice today and looked through my little album of pictures from Friday.


Ali, who's your new avatar?  I'd have his baby.

Ryan Klesko. He was very nice. I'll have to get my player pictures uploaded today. Todd Linden is oh so young and cute too.

Wow, I totally didn't recognize him either.  But I figured it was either a Giant or a Shark, and he didn't look banged-up enuf to be a Shark. (Personally, I 'd like to be, er, double-teamed by Cheechoo and Thornton.)

OK then. I'll take a double Mark, Bell and Smith.

I don't know if any of you are familiar with this story, but I just found out she's our salesman's grandmother.

I'll probably have to wait 'til I'm a hundred and two, too:

Another winning sports night. No voice left after hootin and hollerin at the Shark Tank and home in time to see Richy Rich help win the Giants game in the 12th. woooooo Fu$#ing hooooo!!!!!

I'll be wearing my Sharks jersey to the Giants on Friday night. That ought to confuse lots of people. Maybe an orange hoodie under it. If Sharks win in Nashville, we're off to the next round.

not to mention the Warriors clinched their first playoff spot since 1994 by beating Portland last night.

Wow, having won the first game of the series, the Sharks were up 2-0 after only 5 mins of the first period in game 2.  Detroit has yet to get a shot on goal and the period is now 13 minutes old.

I'll be at the Tank cheering them on Monday and Wednesday.

Damned if the Warriors didn't take it to Dallas yet again tonight in Oaktown. They could actually win this series. That guy Nelson can really work some miracles.
Let's get right to it.

I've never actually heard Berman say it, but I'm sure he has.
