There's not much going on in San Fran baseball because the team lacks any excitement at all.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for excessive fan shots, watch the BCS on FOX. Those can get tedious. They're cool from time to time, but every time I run back through the Boise/OU game on my DVR, I get about 20 different fans per minute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-56741234754020186132008-07-08T16:02:00.000-04:002008-07-08T16:02:00.000-04:00Who really cares?Who really cares?GMoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629846751680840539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-18198139759516683042008-07-08T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-08T15:49:00.000-04:00I live in the Bay Area, so I've been watching 'The...I live in the Bay Area, so I've been watching 'The Kruk and Kuip Show' for years.
