Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

Soooo... where are the Giants staying?

Hey I can get stoned and stay up all night playing an instrument too.

i've got a djembe, a vuvuzela, some maracas... pretty sure my friend can let me borrow his snare if I needed to. 

Anybody feel like meeting up in front of a Dallas hotel tonight and jamming out?  I don't suppose any of you have a fiddle.  Or a didgeridoo? 

Better yet.... anybody know just WHERE the Giants are bunking up for the weekend?  W?  Stoneleigh? 

Anybody know when their bus leaves the Ballpark today after practice?

I met the owner of Lefty O'Doules last night

He was very proud of the publicity. Said thousands of Rangers fans were calling the bar all day to tie up his phones. Something that The Ticket encouraged people to do? He said the police couldn’t stop the noise until 2:00 AM because the bar has an entertainment permit allowing them to be noisy until 2:00. oc, do you have a permit?

wow.
Actually, this is the question I had for Washington:

“[Texas reliever Derek] Holland throws eight straight balls … and has to throw a ninth ball before you got somebody up in the bullpen. How come?”

This was Washington:

“Because I thought he would correct himself. I felt like he could finally get back in the groove. I certainly brought him out there to get [Nate] Schierholtz out of there, and he didn’t. I didn’t expect 12 balls in 13 pitches …”

has this guy even known the rangers existed before the WS?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I KNEW WASH WAS GOING TO SAY WHEN I READ THE QUESTION.

he believes in his guys (to a fault)…

Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Well,

I don’t think anyone thinks a major league player is going to throw 12 balls in 13 pitches. That’s a minor league performance.
