As you may not have noticed, I have not been much of a bastard lately, due to far too much working like the wrong kind of bastard, and far too little time perusing the old internet tubes. Indeed, I just found out today that NFL apparently has merged with the USFL.But this weekend I finally got to get away with two chums for a breakneck trip out west to see the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, and the Dodgers on Sunday, flying home tired, sun-burned, and grumpy on Monday. Above is the charming fake deer that graces the bullpen at otherwise charmless Dodger stadium.
I've been to what is now known as AT&T Park in SF before, and it is a really terrific stadium. The fans in the bleachers are friendly and knowledgeable about the game, the beer is good, and, of course, it is always a treat to have a night our in SF. Neither decrepit, hard to get to, Dodger Stadium, nor its moronic, uninterested fans, fare well in comparison, but hey: it was a nice day, and there are worse things to do than catch a game in a new (to us) stadium.

Soylent Green is not Andrew!
Welcome back. Aren't you supposed to be British? College Football... Baseball...?
Pretty much any excuse to drink beer outside on a sunny day is alright with me.
And since cricket and croquet are hard to come by stateside......
Welcome back friend. I highly recommend Safeco field in Seattle next time you'd like to sojourn to the west coast for a game. And did I mention Durham Bulls Athletic Park?
Speaking of sojourns, are any plans firming up for the First Annual Bastard Convention?
I can't keep track of the shifting stadium names in SF (Pac-Bell, SBC, AT&T) but it's the best baseball stadium I've ever been to, even without the Dodger dogs!
