We're not discussing yesterday's game.
We're not discussing Tuesday's game, either.
What we are discussing today are walk-on songs -- the songs that play when a pitcher takes the mound, when a batter comes up to the plate, etc. We know that Timmy's walk-on song is the rocking "Electric Feel" by MGMT, and Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" belongs to Robb Nen.
So of course the topic is -- what would you pick for your walk-on? Let's hear it in the comments.

Off Day Open Thread: 6/1/09
Happy June! We just finished our May over .500, we're heading out to play the Natinals, the Marlins, and the D-backs, then we head on home to host the A's and the Angels.
Found some good posts on the MLB Blackout policy, which tripped up me and Garrett back in the Oregon days. Turns out the majority of Oregon is claimed by both Seattle and the Bay Area teams, if you look at the blackout map, but as anyone in Oregon can tell you, you can't watch the Giants or A's unless they're playing the Mariners, since they're CSN Northwest (and thus, Mariners-only). Technically you're "in the Giants market" and so you can't watch Giants games on MLB TV, even though San Francisco is ten hours away. Bogus. The Dugout covers the stupidity of these blackouts as well.
For all of my groaning about AtBat killing my iPhone's battery, I'm relieved that they allow me to listen to my local team on the radio without blacking me out. (Not wanting to bring in an actual AM radio to the office, I have to listen to KNBR's non-game programming online and the game broadcasts on the iPhone, since KNBR can't rebroadcast MLB games on the internet.)
Anyway, I'd like to hear from out-of-market or in-market or wherever Giants fans today, and how you make it work for you.

Off Day Open Thread: 5/28/09
It's an off day today -- after today, the boys get three more days off before the All-Star Break (June 1st, June 18th, June 25th).
So, since we're gearing up for the Cards' arrival into town, here's an open thread, so I say we should take the opportunity to introduce ourselves -- names, locations, how and why we love the Giants.
I'll go first: I'm Jeanne, I'm 25 (!), Bay Area native, living in SF, working for a dotcom. I've mentioned my Giants history before; I really threw myself into the Giants in, oh, 2005 -- I remember Matt Cain wasn't even 21 yet.
Your turn! Leave a comment! Or, alternately, you can ask a question and I'll answer it. Woo! Open thread, have at it!
