Giants Open in LA

The Giants will play the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Thursday the 23rd of July. The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 7:00 p.m Pacific. The Nationals will host the Yankees that same afternoon to kick off the season. The rest of baseball starts on the 24th. The Giants-Dodgers game on Saturday the 25th will be on Fox.

I watched the "special presentation" on MLB network with Matt Vasgersian, Harold Reynolds, and Tom Verducci. Matt was very stylish in his colorful sport coat-and-slacks ensemble while Harold and Tom opted for natty blue windowpane suits. From the knees up they looked great. All of them, unfortunately, wore hideous sneakers which Nike must have foisted on them. Matt and Harold flashed leg flesh between their cuffs and shoe tops while Tom had the good sense to wear tall enough socks. (Why a man would go to all the trouble of wearing fancy trousers only to display his hairy legs is beyond me.) Please guys, get rid of those ugly goddamn tennis shoes and find something else to put on your feet. You're adults! (You'd think their wives would have told them how ridiculous they looked in $1500-plus suits with footwear designed for kids.)

I'm focused on sartorial issues only because the show was almost useless. They failed to cover every team! They picked out the teams they wanted to talk about and skipped the rest! The Giants did not make the cut as you can imagine. I planned to take a snap of the schedule when it was displayed on the screen and then post it here on the blog. So, fuck those MLB assholes. We got the Dodgers, the Rockies, the Padres, and the Diamondbacks, but not the Giants. Like I said, fuck those MLB assholes.

I suppose the Giants will post the schedule later on their website. So much for my scoop!

The schedule is posted. The Giants play NL West teams and they play AL West teams. No other NL teams.

Yeah, I knew the basic idea, but I wanted to see the layout like they did for everyone else.

Thank you, Maria Guardado:

2020 Schedule.

Here's the monthly calendar on the website.

I knew I was not crazy!

Alex Pavlovic watched the same dumb show I did and had this to say:

MLB Network decided to do a schedule release show on Monday, which was a good idea. Unless you happen to be a Giants fan.

The show dedicated segments to divisions, and when it came time to show the schedules for the NL West, they went Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Padres, Rockies -- and that's it. The Giants were left out, inexplicably, as the show moved on to one of about six different conversations about how dangerous the Padres are. (Fun fact: The Giants finished seven games ahead of the Padres last season.)
