Game Thread: 4.25 Longman @ Beers

They talked about Gonzo after his HR on the broadcast. After he and his family moved to Arizona, and he played baseball, everyone kept asking him if he were Luis Gonzalez’ kid. He said no for longest time, but the story became old and tired. His actual father’s name is Luis, so he just started answering the question with “yes, he is”. He wasn’t lying.

When the Giants first picked up Luis Gonzalez, I wondered if the former big leaguer had another son, this one named after him, but quickly found out that Luis and Jacob are not related (at least, not that closely).

Speaking of Jacob, he is off to a hot start in the Pirates' org. He's hitting .447/.507/.830 in 13 games with their low A affiliate. I don't know if he ever got close to anything like that at any stretch with the Giants' low A affiliate. Of course, he is also 24 years old.

Can we calm down with the heavy religious stuff that has arisen this season?

Not a requirement. Tell me to fuck off if you like. But it is getting a bit heavy and very awkward, imho.

Do I sense a bit of conviction?

Full acquittal.

Just having some fun. Not trying to proselytize or condemn anyone. Sharing what we have in common, not drawing any battle lines.

But I have always appreciated your normally balanced approach. L'chaim.

My request was casual. It has just gotten a bit heavy, but I am not overly bothered by it.

You're fine. But if anyone else complains, tell them to fuck off.

Not sure, but I've read rumors that they were heckling him with the K word.

If so, they can eat a bag of dicks.

I think they should sew a gold star on his uniform to...acknowledge his outstanding contributions
