Random Baseball Thoughts For Mother's Day
First one, of course, is neither random nor baseball-oriented. Happy Mother's Day, missprune. Enjoy a sunny spring day in Hamilton. Here's hoping we see you in the Bay Area this summer.

Baseball's Sunday morning broadcasts on TBS seem to have a series of highlights sponsored by Viagra; last time I saw a "Viagra Game Changing Moment" of a home run by Mike Schmidt; today it showed the demolition of an outdated Atlanta stadium.
Does baseball really approve of its highlights being brought to us by a performance-enhancing substance?
******
Speaking of, as a Giants fan, I can't help giggling over the suspension of the Dodgers' Manny Ramirez for 50 games. They didn't dodge that suspension, that's for sure.
I'm torn; I don't want to gloat too much, because of that old karmic carousel; but then again, we're talking about the Dodgers.
To be fair, the Dodgers fans next to us last year were gracious enough when the Giants rallied to win in the bottom of the ninth.
******
The Giants face the Dodgers in LA on TV this afternoon. Tim Lincecum takes the hill. Let's get him some runs and take the rubber game of the series, Giants. It will prove the infinite moral superiority of our city to theirs, and really, that's the most important problem these days.

A month or so ago, I read an article that said that stewards at Yankees games frequently chain off certain exits from the stands during performances of 'God Bless America.' Can't have fans going to the bathroom during enforced patriotism/religious self-aggrandizing sessions after all. And no, singing 'God Bless America' has nothing to do with the memories of the sacrifices made by and the bravery of the New York firefighters and police officers. We don't need to sing that particular song to recognize that.
As if we needed more reasons to loathe the Yankees. It's like they are a conglomeration of overly-generous Santa Clauses who only give insulting presents.
