I'll attest! Ashton rolls some very nice cigars, IMHO. Are you looking for suggestions or where to venture from here? I have, oh, a fair amount of cigar smoking experience to share [i'll have one cigar a week on average]. I had a Perdomo La Tradicion over the weekend, but that may be a bit too strong for a person just starting out.

Just the other day I heard a commentator on Sirius say that he expected Russell to do so poorly that he expected Jeff Garcia to be the starter in October. The guy is 39, so maybe no one will pick him up, but I don't think he's done if anyone wants to use him. That run he had with the Eagles a few years ago was one for the books! I get the fact he is 39, and I agree, what I don't understand is why the Niners let him go. The man has some valuable experience to share....much like Dan Flutie did for the Chargers.

Prince Fielder, walk-off HR bottom of the 12th, Giants lose. Rockies won. Dodgers won last night. Grrrr!!!

Hard luck Jeff Garcia gets the ax from the Raiders. You know, if I live to be a thousand, I will never understand why the Niners ever let him go in the first place.

I'm right there with you. The flu symptoms have subsided with the Tamiflu I'm taking, but this dry cough is driving me up the wall.

Moved my son back into his dorm room. I must have schlepped a half ton of stuff up three flights today. Ugh. A labor-intensive weekend so far.

Hey! My Gigantes come through again! This could become a habit Go Giants!

I'll save Dan the trouble. The reason we're in first is because the Yanks play 1/2 of their games on a Little League field. Of course, it would be a "Little Tyke" field and we would have won 100 games by now if our right handed hitters had the benefit of a green Monster in left. How does the Green Monster help...? Doesn't it keeps balls in play that otherwise would fly out of there? Just sayin'. Well yeah, if you're talking about line drives that hit near or the top of the wall that would carry into the seats in other ball parks, but I've seen far too many pop flies that would be caught in any other ball park, simply carry enough so that instead of being simple outs, arc downward and either go over the wall or hit it just high enough to thwart any thought of a leap by the left fielder to catch 'em.. Hey, the park is a landmark in the history of baseball and personally I don't have a problem with it, but it does giveth and sometimes taketh from the home team. After all, I'm old enough to remember Bucky Dent's pop fly over the wall to win the '78 pennant for the Yanks. I'm old enough to remember that one, too. It just seems to me that the Green Monster kills HR chances more often than it gives up cheap hits. Just my two cents....

Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks, eh? Giants win, 4-0. Go Giants!!!

I know I would love to see Jermaine Dye in a Giants uni down the stretch. Always liked Dye, I wish he never left the A's. There are a lot of people I wish never left the A's.

Go Giants, you guys are running away with it, help a brother out. Sigh, the Rockies have the easier schedule here on out. If the Giants split the Phil-Mil road trip I will be happy. And the Rocks are reeling. They have lost 6 of their last 10 games. They have the hitting, but not the pitching.

"the man on the street" Um. Who?

Even Zito looked good and went into the 9th Now here come the Phillies. Gotta look sharp, Boyz!

You can use my Grrrr anytime, Matthew. You're one of us. Go Giants!

i don't see them taking two of three if they trot out Wynn, Iskikawa and Fred Lewis as the 3-4-5 hitters again this weekend. Tim will have to go 8 with 1 earned run to just get the no decision tonight. That's a fact. Both Lincecum and Cain haven't been supported much this last week. I even feel a little bad for Zito, too. I mean, what is going on with these guys anyway?

I hope they do well, too. But if they keep making errors and mental mistakes like they have since last Saturday....it is going to be a looooong series. Grrrrr

Arizona is beating my Giants 9-0 in the 7th and the Rockies suddenly don't know how to win any more. Have I mentioned that I hate the dodgers...? Grrrrrr
