All the games are thur. Most of these preseason games are thur and fri. It is on when it is on.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/banana-tossing-giants-fan-says-gesture-wasn-t-001648859.html "Oh, my god,'' Poulides said. "I threw a banana on my way out." Poulides, 42, said he grabbed a banana off a catering cart and hurled it toward the field in disgust at the Giants near the end of a 10-2 loss at AT&T Park on Sunday. The banana apparently sailed toward Jones, who tweeted about the incident after the game ... Above all, Poulides stressed repeatedly that the incident was not a racially motivated, as some had speculated. He was upset at the Giants, not Jones. "I'm embarrassed and shocked by the outcome,'' the Northern California resident said. "In hindsight, I wish I didn't do it and I apologize. I'm very sorry." The Giants also issued an apology saying the team had a "a zero tolerance policy against this type of behavior." It had not, at the time, identified the fan in question. The whole story sounds like something of the Larry David universe: Guy gets upset at favorite baseball team. Guy tosses nearest fruit onto the field as he storms out of the stadium. Guy learns the next day he's been pegged as a racist. Can't you just see an exasperated George Costanza explaining the story of how he became an accidental racist? (We're not talking about you, Brad Paisley) Though, if you're thinking this whole thing sounds too much like fiction, then you're not alone. Friend of the blog and Giants scribe Dave Tobener (aka @gggiants on Twitter) wasn't exactly convinced the story is on the up-and-up: Question: where are there catering carts with bananas in CF? — DT (@gggiants) August 12, 2013 How far can you really throw a banana? If he "grabbed it off a cart" then he wasn't in the stands, he was at least on the walkway. — DT (@gggiants) August 12, 2013 Part of me wants to go outside and see how far I can actually throw a banana for reference. — DT (@gggiants) August 12, 2013 There's no possible way that dude flung a banana that far. An apple, maybe. Even a plum. But a banana? No. — DT (@gggiants) August 12, 2013 All interesting thoughts. Unless, of course, our banana-throwing fan was recently Rowengartner'd, in which case, he might be able to replace Barry Zito in the Giants rotation. Here's another question: Is anybody going to ask Poulides to pay for the banana?

Now the guy says this was not in any way racist. A banana just happened to be the closest thing around. Ah. I see bananas laying around standiums all the time.

In the past Ozzie would reach to hold onto guys like Q. With Rays retirement I think everything has changed.

Forget sideline to sideline. That is a rarity. He was having trouble being tackle to tackle.

They didn't have the heart to cut ties with Ray. He hasn't been that guy for at least 4 yrs. The youth movement will do so much for the D.

ha Oh so rolling nodding off.

Now that Ray is gone there is no need to play to stars. I am reading Summer of 49. I think George Weise was briliant.

Boo Hoo. Ozzie seems to be following my ideas. Ed is gone. They are getting younger. They are fixing the D like I have siad they should. Also hey Cam is gone.

This is pointless. Way to old.

Not when they are in high school.

Don't you mean boys.

OK. Then you are supposed to get better. You adapt to make yourself as good as you can. Billick is a dolt. So being a dolt + 1 you are set?

Or they could have changed out Cam after yr 2 and they could have done more. I seem to notice guys doing so much better once Cam leaves them. Now we ha get to see the 3rd one.

Yeah and had he been replaced earlier they might well have been to a SB earlier. The talent got them to the PO's all those times. They needed a littel push to get the rest of the way.

So you are just hearing about the blackout policy? It is not new that Jax has issues selling seats. There is a reason they have tarped thousands of them.

You chose to be down there. Dems the breaks.

Exactly. Cam wanted things done his way no matter if it was right or not.
