Don't get me wrong: I've always admired J.T. Snow as a Giant and a person. But he is quickly proving to be the Yogi Berra of his era. (Berra era?)

From Monday's Giants' radio broadcast: "Most all major league batters aren't looking for a first-pitch curveball, and if they do they're in the minority."

Editor's Note: Rube's recent comments in response to our blog entry about Prince Fielder's home run celebration were totally worthy. In case you didn't see 'em, here they are:

"Yeah. The entire Giants Nation seems obsessed about the celebration on Monday. I wish they'd be obsessed instead about their collective failure to move runners, to drive in runs, or to allow Rowand to swing the bat in a tie game in the 6th inning with runners on first and third and no outs. History has proven that Rowand, when the going gets tough, is only capable of grounding out meekly. But instead of sending him out to bunt the two runners over, they allow him to ground into the most predictable triple play I've ever witnessed. But the Giants are obsessed with Fielder's home run celebration. Idiots!

"Oh, and I thought the celebration was great.

"I'm not finished yet!

"What I'd LOVE to see from the Giants is their own amazingly choreographed demonstration after a Giant manages to successfully move a runner from first to second. Or maybe at the conclusion of a successful 'Giant Rally,' which in their case is comprised of a run-scoring double play."

We previously asked if you could figure out Aaron’s Law, posited by Strokes owner Aaron Pankoke, from the following picture:

We had one guess posted in the comments. It was from Commissioner Rube Furrow, who predictably said he thought he saw the face of Jesus in the banana. That’s Rube for you, always seeing things in his fruits and vegetables. Heck, last week he claimed he saw all seven dwarves in his half-eaten taco salad and tried to sell it on eBay.

Anyway, Aaron’s Law can be stated thusly: If you bring home a bunch of bananas, the last banana will almost always remain uneaten. Since hearing Aaron describe the law more than a year ago, I’ve purposely tried to break it as often as possible but have only succeeded an average of once in every ten attempts. Damn law.

Recent comments (see “Got Something to Say?” below each blog entry) out of Indiana indicate that Fat Bastard (Jim Hicks), owner of the Summer Sausages, may be a dragon. The evidence?

Fat Bastard, The Dragon?

Or maybe past-champ Old Mackey (Ian Hicks), owner of Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, found a fun photo manipulation app for his iPhone. There’s just no way to tell.

Incidentally, the last time we saw flames coming out of Bastard’s orifices was shortly after a particularly heady round eating two dozen nuclear chicken wings.
