Been without power/internet/cable sanity the last few days due to Hurricane Sandy.
Belated congratulations to Bruce Bochy and the San Francisco Giants for sweeping their way to their second World Series title in three years.

The World Series starts today, with first pitch between the Tigers and Giants set for 8:07 at Pac Bell AT&T Park.
Turns out this guy hit a pretty big World Series home run, it just wasn’t in the classic Motown uniform.
Say what you want about the Tigers, but they’ve maintained a sharp color scheme for most of their history — not counting this abominable logo change.
The San Francisco Giants are looking to stave off elimination today in the NLDS when they take on the Reds at the Great American Ballpark.
Ryan Vogelsong is on the hill and he’ll need to channel the effectiveness of Mike Krukow in RBI Baseball to give the Giants a chance against Cincy.
Tonight, Dusty Baker will manage his 3,000th game in the majors when the Reds lock horns with the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
That’s a lot of frickin toothpicks.
On this date in baseball, S.F. southpaw Dave Dravecky returned to the rubber after a 15-month battle with cancer and pitched a one-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds.
Pretty bad ass.
Atlee Hammaker made one All-Star Game appearance in his career and it wasn’t pretty.
The southpaw gave up a Verlander-esque seven earned runs in the 1983 Mid-Summer Classic, including the only grand slam in AS Game history to Fred Lynn.
Seven runs in 2/3s of an inning.
Dan Gladden.
Hands down the most atrocious player in RBI Baseball.
Chili Davis is currently the Oakland A’s hitting coach.
The Athletics certainly aren’t slugging the way Chili did during his lengthy career, with a league-worst team batting average of .210 and an on-base percentage of .288.
Moneyball is officially dead.
