So the game earlier today coupled with being swept by the Padres kinda destroyed me for a while...but I'm sane again, at least until tomorrow's game. Anyways, time for a real post. So I'm finally on break, but everyone else already had theirs and are once again busy as shit. I was considering a visit to Socal to see people I haven't seen in a while but I didn't really think of this soon enough, and made no plans. Next year, I shall have to try again. In any case, this is going to be a boring and uneventful week.
Well like two years ago I tooted my own horn on this thing about writing, my songs and such, and about having nine of them done-ish. Now its more like 34? Yeah. I think that's right. Well until relatively recently most of my songs weren't inspired by anyone in particular, well a few were. Some people got more than a few, but like 9 songs recently were directly inspired by one person.
Who? I ain't tellin. Suffice to say that she gives good material. At least I think so. In any case, I think I've written some decent stuff. If you want to see/hear, comment or email or im me and I'll get you some.

First off let me say this. I am a Giants fan. I've bled black and orange my entire life and hate the Dodgers with nearly every fiber of my sports-related being. But what the hell?
What the hell are the Giants doing? They have what is reputedly one of the best rotations in at least the NL West, with THREE Cy Young winners, yet none of them has pitched well yet this season. The only starter who approaches effectiveness is Cain. We can't hit anymore, and worst of all, we can't seem to play defense. At least we haven't since Martinez took that line drive to the head. The whole team is rattled, understandably, by the incident but we need to move on and play some goddamn baseball. It hurts me to say this but I'm willing to accept losses like the one we took today. But not to the Dodgers. If we play well against anyone, or even just play terrible (as opposed to the abysmal amatuer ball we're currently playing) let it be against them.
I want to hear the crowd chanting "Beat LA!" at games again, and have it happen. I'd like a season over .500! I'd like us to play like it was 1989, 1997, 2002 or any of our other seasons where we won the west or the pennant. I'd like a lot of things.

Mostly I'd like to just see the Giants play good, major league baseball- that's something I haven't really seen in years.
