Playing a shell game with money is NOT "justice" for banging a garbage can.

It's a compound fracture of the system.

It was incredible to see the Giants' run of three World Series wins, every game, IIRC, the underdog.

You'll never see that again.

Whether it's Farhan's "money ball" in signing players from the DL, or the Dodgers' "How Much Money do you want?" ball, it has lost all charm. And with the latest reminder of Greg "MAGA" Johnson's use of the fans' money to subjugate them to Christ-Fascist overlords .... OUCH.

And you know that the day before Shohei collects that monster 20-year deferred paycheck, he'll leave the state and pay no taxes on it.
