Presumably Geoff and Alicat already know about Jerry Garcia Tribute Night at the Giants game on Aug 9th:

I really want to go, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

the featured pitch that night will be the three-finger fastball...   ;D

mentioned this on FB, but last nite on Fit-TV (a channel I didn't realize I had), I stumbled across a show that spent an hour showing Barry Zito's training regimen (it was apparently about 5 years old, as all the clips of him on the field had him in an A's uni). Stretching, yoga, his annual visit to the National Institute of Sports Medicine (or something)... Gaz, I wish you coulda seen it!

BTW, his old friend Eric Byrnes is quite a hoot on the MLB Network.  There's something very festive about him I like.

A-Rod finally gets it out of the way...

Now if only Brett Favre would make up his mind, I could start watching ESPN again.

Last night at the Giants game, Pat Burrell comes up to bat and Cutie Pie plays. I confirmed via Renel that he chose that as his walk-up music.
The boy is CUTE but dang, HE picked that song!?

"Cutie Pie" by One Way?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c24g4xZhHXQ

a fairly obscure but tasty '80s groove, not that big a pop crossover. So musically, Mr Burrell has impressed me. It's Gaz's nickname for him, isn't it? ;)

I haven't been to either G-men or A's yet this year -- it's too damn cold!
