​Dodgers just got spanked by the Giants last night: 19-3. Including a Grand Salami by Hunter Pence to go along with his 7 RBIs. Yeow! From Yahoo! Sports: "....the most runs a Dodgers opponent has ever scored at Chavez Ravine."

So I heard it was the same guy who screwed up in the Seahawks/Packers game last year. Anyone see that? Either way, apparently he's been canned. I saw it. It was that touchception, right? Best news I've heard all week.

Happy, happy, joy, joy! Hope it's a great day!

To each his own, Jhoots.

Go Tribe!

How come the 49ers still had 3rd down after that play instead of 4th down??? Officiating error - that's why. Offsetting penalties - you don't replay the down. Poetic justice. Besides, the Niners would have gone for it again anyway. And let's be honest here. The only reason there were off-setting penalties was because Matthews started up a fight with Staley. He was trying to make that happen so he wouldn't get what he deserved.. Besides, Staley never committed a penalty. Matthews slapped him. And I quote: A league spokesman told USA TODAY Sports on Monday that Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, has determined 49ers left tackle Joe Staley "should not have been penalized" for entering the scrum and grabbing Clay Matthews after the Packers linebacker hit Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick out of bounds. Source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/49ers/2013/09/09/joe-staley-officiating-error-clay-matthews/2787299/ Ref's screwed that one, too.

Unless your theory is purely addition by subtraction, I think that's premature. There's plenty of time for thank you cards in the coming season(s) when the prospects they picked up actually contribute. Credit should go to Cherrington for some pretty shrewd use (to date) of the salary that was freed up though. Meantime with Ellsbury in a walking boot and possibly out with a broken foot, I do worry that this is their high water mark. I guess the Jackie Bradley era starts early in Boston. Come to think of it, a young, highly touted centerfielder was called up at the end of the 2007 season, became a starter and helped bring a championship home, so maybe Bradley can do the same. The Dodgers did take a lot of $$ off the Bosox payroll, and Boston did get rid of Crawford & Beckett, a definite addition by subtraction both in payroll and performance. But Adrian Gonzalez was the only real plus. The deep pockets of the Guggenheim Corporation are trying to buy the World Series ala George Steinbrenner. And I sincerely hope they fail...miserably.

Niners win! And somebody needs to put the hurt on Clay Matthews. This was total bullshit:

Giants win. A’s win. Niners win. and Oracle Team USA wins the 4th race. Been a good day for Bay Area sports

This has to be a first: Three games and one regatta in the same place. Giants @ Home vs. the Snakes A’s @ Home vs. the Astros Niners @ Home vs the Packers and The America’s Cup on the Bay And they all started at the same time: 1PM PST. Wow.

Serena has a body that won't quit. No doubt. What a doll! My only regret is she beat a Central Valley Gal in the third round.

Glad the Yankees lost. In fact, ANY day the Yankees lose is a good day. GO BoSox!

That would have made a no-hitter and a no-no in a season with little else to cheer about: Lincecum and nearly Petit. I bet Hunter Pence feels pretty bad, too.

I will suggest that QB passing yardage is an inaccurate stat, too. The ball isn't measured in distance thrown but rather in where the player who catches it ends up. Yards after the catch makes more sense.

My playoffs predictions: NL Atlanta Pittsburgh LA [And I really hope I'm wrong about this one] WC St. Louis Cincinnati AL BoSox Detroit Texas/Oakland WC Texas/Oakland Tampa Bay

Bite your tongue!

The Tigers are pitching deep, for sure.

Baseball statistics are a close second.

Elway played in a different era.

Well, TBH, he wasn't all there to begin with. Sorry to hear the news.

Niners cut 13-year veteran long snapper Brian Jennings in a salary move for next season. A rookie is in his place. I sure hope they haven't miscalculated here; Jennings was as consistent as they get at that position.

David Frost conducted so many great interviews. The Richard Nixon interview stands out in my mind as his legacy. Rest in Peace.

I've been told that the dates are the designated drivers!

Google it. [yet another noun which has become a verb]

Looks like the Niners are still hitting on all eight cylinders: 41-6 over the Bolts.
