Before I get into this post, I need to state my opinion (or is it now fact) that Matt Holliday did not touch home plate last night. If I were a Padres fan, I would be so angry, like this guy. And, I’m calling ‘roids on Matt Holliday’s forearms. Are you kidding me? They are as big as Barry Bonds’ human-growth-hormone-enlarged head!

Now the real story here, is that the game ended at 12:30 a.m. I keep finding myself awake well after midnight watching sporting events here — Monday Night Football, West Coast baseball. If you want to catch the beginning of Monday Night Football on the West Coast after work, you better leave early and hustle home. Here? You can leave late, have a nice dinner, take a little nap, feed the cat and then flip on the TV in time to catch Tony Kornheiser say his first annoying comment.

Everyone talks about the winter, the intense people and the traffic here, but to be honest, this whole latenight sports thing is gonna be the toughest one to get used to (unless I was a Yankees fan, which I’m not).

Wednesday and Thursday are the first Cubs games at 10 pm ET… So if you need to get in touch either day, please believe I’ll be up till at least 1 am!
