> [@mhendo](#): > > Second, and more importantly, i can’t watch tomorrow night’s game, because i teach a 3-hour class on Monday evenings that starts at almost exactly the same time as the game. :mad: DVR? Too late now obviously, but if you can you should look into them. Totally change the way you use TV. I deliberately didn’t watch the first hour and half of the game last night, just so I’d feel comfortable fast-forwarding through the commercials later. I watched the first three games after 10 at night. ---

Yeah, i guess we should actually get a DVR one of these days. Just never gotten around to it. For some reason, though, i’ve also always been somewhat averse to watching recorded sports, especially in cases where i already know the score. I could probably avoid the result if i tried really hard, but i’m not really willing to put that sort of effort in. I like watching live. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > Fair enough. > > It’s also worth noting that, while i’m rooting for the Giants out of support for my wife’s hometown affiliations, and out of a petty desire to see George Bush’s team lose, i’m not as invested in the winner as an actual Giants fan would be. For me, it won’t be the end of the world if Texas wins, because i always like to see a new team take home the trophy. > > For that reason, i wouldn’t be as concerned about a Giants loss tonight as a true San Francisco fan would be. OK, that’s fair. I forget that for some people this series isn’t actually a matter of life and death. 🙂 ---

Sounds like the fans are really into it, which is nice to hear. I have to say that the Rangers’ fans haven’t exactly impressed me with their level of enthusiasm thus far. But they seem more with it today. Okay, that’s the top of the first. Go Giants! ---

That’s a better first inning than last time. Maybe Lee will have his stuff this go round. ---

Probably. Or a walk, an error and a sac fly. Could be that kinda game. ---

Having your cleanup hitter sacrifice…that’s either genius or really stupid. I’ll go with…genius. I can’t believe Burrell is up in a critical situation. ---
