"healthy"

So says the team on what Madison Bumgarner's bobblehead would say if he could speak. The comment is in response to the Madison's favorite question "How are the cows doing?"

I am really impressed by how much this bobblehead resembles the young lefty. The detail on the scruff is fantastic, as is the signature pose for the star pitcher. Bobbleheads have come a long way!

But before I unwrapped the figure at home, my friends and I sweated in our seats as the Giants attempted a sweep against the Astros. All eyes were on perfect-game-Matt Cain as he led the Giants through two-thirds of the game. His pitching was good, but it could've been better.


The offense warmed up, even without everyone's favorite milkman Melky Cabrera. The team scored two runs in just the first inning and Buster hit 3 for 4 at-bats. Panda also stepped up to the plate and kept the crowd roaring with a double.

The game turned into a nail-biter in the 9th as Santiago Casillas allowed a runner on base. But we finally shut down the Astros and achieved a feat that impels grown men to wave brooms.

SWEEP!

Now if only it was just as easy to get rid of this minor sunburn... my foremarms and half of my forehead are a scandalous shade of red!
