Will Life Imitate the Movies? One could only hope.

So here I am watching the Giants' Opening Day against the hated Bums. And surprise of surprises, Dave Roberts gets a single. Not what I expected.

Of course, three pitches later, he gets thrown out by a mile trying to steal second.

And I flashed to the first game in Major League. I can only hope.

And then I saw Zito's first inning of work. I really need to hang on to that hope.

And then I saw Castillo... who is unfortunately no Feliz with a glove but looks to be one with the bat. (Runner in scoring position, less than two ours... and he hits into a double play.)

Thanks Mr. Gygax


Gary Gygax, along with his partner Dave Arneson developed the rules for Dungeons & Dragons. I cannot imagine what my childhood would have been without D&D and the games it spawned.

Sadly, Gygax died today.
