Salty Balty
The Giants won one game this week. They played six games — at home. Tomorrow they set out on the road.
Giants fans are miserable, already, one week into the season. Hard to see how anyone could be more miserable than Salty Balty, who calls in regularly to the postgame wrap, bemoaning the geriatric lineup and calling for heads to roll — a refrain that was taken up by caller after caller.
Today I did more gardening than I probably should have, given how my back is feeling, but it was fun to listen to the game (though not fun to hear them lose).
Peppers, chiles, leeks, fennel, squashes — all went in today (all the melons went in yesterday). It may be a little early. Oh well. We’ll see… Maybe Salty should take up gardening.

Strangely enough, the Giants lost every game my son attended, only to win finally when my son returned to college! There is baseball fever around my house, these days, too!
