Loading ...Open Game Two Thread (McCovey Chronicles)
Posted October 23, 2008 at 4:53 pmI wish I knew two guys named Phil and two guys named Ray so I could goad them into a knife fight. After the blood cleared, I’d empty my savings account and put money on the team that shared a name with the winner. Maybe I wouldn’t see that money again, but at least I’d always know that I goaded someone into a knife fight.

The Philadelphia Phillies are my team for the next week or so. I’m going to bleed pink, or fuschia, or snapdragon red, or whatever the hell that color is. I will refrain making Rocky or chesse …

Posted September 11, 2008 at 2:24 pmFred Lewis was drafted in 1974, and he’d been a San Francisco Giants prospect for 33 years prior to this season. At least, that’s what it felt like. His tools were top-notch, but his performances were just average enough to justify moving him up the organizational chain one…level…at…a…time. When he finally won a starting job (thanks, Dave Roberts’s knee!), Lewis was 27. And, as usual, …
