BTW....in case you haven't noticed, I have two favorite baseball teams. The Giants. And whoever is playing the Dodgers. Now, if you were a real Giants fan, you'd already know that.

I know you hate the Dodgers but seriously every team in the NL West is the Giants rival, they are the teams you need to pass to get to the playoffs, every team in the AL West is the A's rival. I won't root for the Dodgers or the Angels this post season. Rivalries really only exists for the teams (for fans its different) when both teams are good, sadly the A's were not worthy of being a rival this year even if A's fans hate the Angels, the Angel players for the most part probably didn't give a crap. Texas this year was their rival. This year was the first since 2004 were the Giants were worth of being called the Dodgers rival. Then you need to do some research. Rivalries exist because of the juxtaposition of the teams in a given market, they exist because of the division they both play in and they exist because the fans know the history. You, I'm afraid, do not. Because you have allowed yourself to believe that the Giants weren't worthy of being taken seriously by the Dodgers then obviously you don't follow the Giants close enough to know the history of their head-to-head competition each year. It doesn't matter a tinker's damn what the records are, they battle each other as if the WS depended on it. With the exception of this year's very young and apparently naive starters, this is a storied rivalry; The oldest in MLB history. Now if you want to hold to the ideology that the W-L column determines whether or not there is a rivalry, then have a blast. But you would be dead wrong.

BTW...Giants beat up on the Rockies this year. I think maybe you need to stick to thinking there are no rivalries in the MLB. Or remain an A's fan.

You are rooting for the team the not only kept you out of the playoffs this year (ok, maybe the Braves would have also) but also the same team that went 0-16 against the Atlanta Braves in 1993. Had the Rookies won one stinking game against the Braves that year, your 103 win Giants with two 20 game winners at the top of the rotation and a Will Clark, Matt Williams and a Barry Bonds in their prime that would have probably gone all the way, if only had the Rookies just won one game against the Braves, like maybe one of four they played against them the last week of the season, then Salman Torres would have never have happened Rockies. Go Rockies? Some Giants fan you are. [omg] I'm rooting against the hated Dodgers. Haven't you been reading me? Wow.

Wow. That's a great blog you found there. Oh and I don't blame the Rockies really. I probably would have done the same thing if I were in their position. Long as they beat the Dodgers, I'm OK with it

Go Rockies.

Fuck the Yankees, er...sorry. A little Dan-itis. My bad.

Cloudy and cool. With Tsunami warnings all along the West Coast of California Whoa.

Um. I gather Boston lost tonight.

Fuck the fucking lucky fucking fucks that fucked up the fucking Boston fucking fucked up fucks. The fucking fucked up fucking bastard fucking fucks. Just fucking how in the fucking fucked up fucking hell can I fucking fuck say as many fucking fucked times how fucked up the fucks who fucking fuck up the fucking fucked up fucking game fucking fucked it fucking up? Fuck me, fuck you and the fucking fucked up fucking Boston fucking Red fucking Sox. The fucking fucked up fucks. My fucking advice? Fucking buy a fucking Thesaurus fer criss-fucking-sakes...fucking fuck this fucking shit. GEEZ.

Even with yesterday's heartbreaker, the Niners look pretty darn good so far

It's the timeslot. And the show itself. Carson long ago put a middle-of-the-road, middle-American, slant on the Tonight Show. You're expected to appeal to everybody by offending nobody. With the changed landscape of television I'm not sure you can do that these days, but Conan's obviously giving it the old Brookline try. And yes, the Leno 10 o'clock show seems pretty terrible. Which is why Conan is a bad choice. Jay Leno did a far better job with those expectations, IMHO. Perhaps, but they had more-or-less promised Conan the Tonight Show gig years ago. They couldn't very well back out of the deal. Fair enough. However, I predict they will live to regret it.

You may want to get rid of the homo-erotic profile pic. Um. It is a picture of a baseball player. Carry on.

It might be comparable to the hatred people feel toward soccer teams like [just guessing] Manchester United. Soccer hooligans being the biggest reason, I suppose. Being an American, I don't understand that extreme hatred either.

He still isn't funny.

It does appeal to me as well. There's a review here, with some owner comments that echo Phillyq's concerns. The Mazda3 is appealing also, but I'm thinking it may be a bit tight. That Edmunds.com mentioned above, which I'd not heard of, seems like a great place to search for vehicles. Honda is advertising a new hybrid sedan for 20 grand.

Right on, Chuck. I never watched Forrest Gump for the same reason. Re-tread 70s angst....no thank you.

You're missing Joan. Meh. I'll take that risk. Not much on TV that interests me anyway.

Giants win. Yay. Go Niners.
