    And, yeah, props to Bumgarner. He had our number all series. Without him, we win the series.

            Coincidentally, we test drove cars at three different dealerships today. Two of the sales people were really good; the third had the knowledge, charisma and salesmanship of Chevy Guy. "This is a really good car, with lots of great stuff," was his killer pitch that nearly closed the deal. I'm beginning to think "stuff" is an automotive term of art.

              Since you and Mrs. PAC took ldc, Hawk and I on your unique tour of SF that included the stadium the Giants have been pretty good. Just sayin'

                As we drove past AT&T (and before the ciimactic finish in the warehouse district), I sensed Hawk was bestowing a blessing upon the Stadium and its team. Much appreciated. We'd love to provide a sequel tour. Perhaps you could bring Juliya and we'll drive past Levi's Stadium before continuing on to the South Bay evaporator ponds.

                    Dynasty.

                    Bumgarner is a legend. I got to stand next to him once and those that know me know that I'm yoked, but he's even bigger. Just a horse.

                        The ultralovable Chevy Guy's dazzling postgame performance is getting excellent notices throughout the land. I also enjoyed the WashPo's observation that Bud Selig was playing Abbot to Chevy Guy's Costello. And "Rikk Wilde" is the best porn name since George Costanza's Buck Naked.

                          That was pretty painful to watch. How do you screw up a one-time moment like that.

                            After 29 years of mostly horrible teams, that we even made it to the World Series is a big deal. The applause was for the great showing this year despite the loss.

                              No wonder Chevy is always doing so poorly.

                                That is a nice-looking truck though. Put a lift kit on that and some nice wheels and tires and I would drive it.
