Returning from their extended vacation, the Giants start the second half on Friday the 13th. Has there ever been a more apt omen of pain and misery than that? Fortunately for the superstitious players, there is no inconvenient winning streak forcing them to wear the same socks until the they lose a game. In fact, Magowan is already complaining about the massive sock budget. These dudes have to change socks almost every day.
After consulting the Shaman we keep on retainer here, we are seeing signs that the Giants will indeed play more games. That appears to be almost certain. The Shaman is waffling on the winning part. While he is supremely confident the world will end on February 8, 2047 and that Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump will secretly marry next month, he just won't commit to any Giants win. I am not at all sure why I keep this clown on the payroll. The Giants will win a game sometime in the second half. I sense it. I sense that I will soon be partying in the Rio with Salma Hayek too. One of these visions has to be true doesn't it?
Here's to rubbing that lucky rabbit's foot.*
In other news, Bochy just announced that he will be resting the vets tonight because the grueling 4 day break has just wiped these guys out. Can you imagine the strain these players endure from just lugging their wallet around? When you couple that with slow room service and particularly energetic strippers it's a wonder sometimes these athletes can perform at all.
* Of course, luck is relative. Next time you see a three legged rabbit ask him how his luck has been lately.

If the Phillies lose to STL tonight, they will be the first team to lose 10K games, fittingly, on Friday the 13th.
