Or when the 3rd base coach fell asleep in the dugout, and the cameraman cuts to the dugout, where Andy is sticking wooden matches in his shoe. We need more characters in baseball.

Speaking of characters, the Giants have a 3-0 lead on Hideo Nomo and the Dodgers after the top of the first. Three guesses who went yard for three for the Giants...

I had to open my big yap. It is now 12-0, Giants, going to the top of the sixth. Barry Bonds went yard a second time tonight (could he be on pace to belt 100 home runs this season alone?), pitcher Rich Ortiz bopped a three-run shot inside the foul pole, and at this writing the only Giant in the lineup who hasn't got a hit is Tsuyoshi Shinjo...oops!...he just led off the sixth with a base hit.
