Three games on the Bay plus the America's Cup made for a busy Sunday afternoon in the Bay Area. It took the Giants eleven innings but they pulled it out. After the game the Giants media crew were discussing how surprised they were that Pagan did not bunt in the 11th inning with two on and none out. Fleming mentioned that almost every other major league manager would have bunted in that situation. I would like to tell Fleming that the reason is they all have taken the same course Baseball 101 offered in Florida every winter. Bochy has learned to get a runner to third with less then two out does not guarantee a run. Instead they allow Pagan to swing the bat and get the hit to win the game.
The 49ers got a great victory over the Packers because Green Bay has been planning six months for this game. Happen to see a few moments of the Atlanta - New Orleans game. Payton the Saints coach who was suspended one year for paying players to hurt opposing quarterbacks was back The Atlanta QB goes into a slide and whack get hit right in his ribs which was called a 15 yard penalty. The Saints #23 must has been disappointed when Ryan remained in the game otherwise he might have gotten a little bonus in his pay check.
Tokoyo was awarded to host the 2020 Olympic Games. Don't plan on saving to go because the games will never be played.
USC football is in trouble because they play old fashion football with slow footed quarterbacks who can't pass. Very poor recruiting.
