Fres-Know: Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks ...
- More than 14,000 jolly Fresnans flocked to The Chuk last night to see the Fresno Grizzlies play the San Francisco Giants, proving once again that Fresno loves anything deemed "big city" -- regardless of quality. [The Bee]
- Giants pitcher Barry Zito got the loss against a bunch of minor leaguers, proving once again that he's an overpaid, overrated hippy who will not be on my fantasy team again. No link -- just the venting of a vexed fantasy owner.
- Fresno-razzi: The Fresnan has footage of Kopi running around at the game with his video camera and yelling "Dance, monkeys! Dance!" OK, maybe I embellished that last part. [The Fresnan]
- Fresnocentric has a promo video for Theatre Ventoux's production of "Lear." [Fresnocentric]
- Madness indeed over at B95's Music Madness Tournament. They're in the Sweet 16 and insanity of radio listeners includes Pitbull beating Jay-Z and Akon over R. Kelly. [B95]
- Readers at Fresno Famous are still going on about Heidi Watney and KMPH is still not saying why she doesn't work there anymore. [Famous / The Bee]

thanks for the Fresnocentric plug :-)

I'll be the first to admit my Giants will be awful this year but for the sake of fairness it should be noted that Mike Oz is a bitter A's fan.

Good job, Erik. I was going to call Mike Oz out on that one, too.

Who's bitter?
The A's got the milk for cheap while the Giants paid way too much for the cow.

Best use of the milk/cow metaphor ever!

and how about that emily carlson? from your bee story,
"The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Carlson and WCID anchor Kent Ninomiya were accused of getting 19-year-old station operations employee Erin Davis drunk with the intention of a sexual encounter."
stay classy fresno.

LOL!!! Trust me, as an avid A's fan, we are not bitter over Barry Zito playing for the Giants. If anything, i'm annoyed how Barry is now a God amongst Giant fans. I guess it must be the name.
Go A's!!

WHAT!! Man, I've been so busy at work lately that I don't even turn on the news at night anymore. But I usually watch KMPH 10 o clock news at night and I swore I just say those two not to long ago. Derrol Nail was doing his thing with the AMerican Idol contestants. And Heidi Watney was doing the sports and pumping up women's or men's FSU basketball.
I wonder what happened? Maybe Derrol and Heidi got caught bumpin and grindin on Kobe's desk??

@ ed:
I saw that too. I was planning to look into it a little bit, but I haven't had the chance yet ... She sounds like fun, though.
@ mdub:
Go read that Famous thread that I linked. Lots of interesting stuff in there.

A's fans are only bitter because Giants fans talk down to them even though it's the G-men who are perennial losers!
Being a Giants fan and talking down to A's fans is like driving a Bentley but being homeless.
Maybe in the next 50 years they'll win a world series!

It's CrackerJack (singular, no S), not cracker jacks. Always has been.
