In the spirit of this place and positivity, I am going to start a post that includes some random Petco Park scoreboard fun facts from over the years.
Not everyone will like them, but even if just one person gets a laugh out of it or brightens their mood, well, that’s sort of the point. Enjoy.

I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.
The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.
He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

Famous athletes not being able to open the balls or pronounce the countries correctly is a nice added touch.
This FIFA World Cup Draw show is as if the embarrassing new White House decor came to life and started screaming at you in slow motion. Enough with the acts and the fake peace awards for diaper daddy.
Just get to the draw already!

Can confirm that not only does Annie make the best treats, but Mama's Kitchen is a fantastic organization worth supporting.

Interesting stuff via @andrewbaggarly.bsky.social -- it was always tough to see the Giants getting too involved in a big bidding war for Imai (especially with Boras attached) www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Analytics have their place but forgoing a go-ahead field goal against a meh team with under 2 minutes left is “tariffs are great”-level stupidity

Okay, I did manage to get this blog post out before the (4pm PT!) livestream! 👀 There will be a considerable flood threat this weekend in some parts of SoCal as near-record moist airmass combines with other factors. Strong t-storms also possible. #CAwx
Southern California weekend storm looking increasingly powerful, with growing flood threat for LA Basin & beyond - Weather West
Quite some whiplash: from record heat to record wet (and yet one more damaging wildfire before that happens) Well, the weather this year sure is doing its best to keep us on our toes! The last 2-3 weeks featured record (or near-record) warmth across most of California and Nevada, as well as a good portion

The Broncos just snapped it with 9 seconds left on the play clock and with a running game clock 🙃
The Cardinals snapping the ball with 15 seconds left on a running play clock is peak #coaching

Hearing that former Padres manager and Twins bench coach Jayce Tingler has agreed to join Tony Vitello's staff in San Francisco. Tingler and Vitello were college teammates at Missouri and have remained close friends, so this is a very predictable outcome.

Future HOF manager Bruce Bochy tells me he's content with taking the uniform off and rejoining the Giants in an advisory role. It took just 90 minutes at a Nashville restaurant with Tony Vitello to convince Bochy that Buster Posey made a smart hire to manage. www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...
