The Giants’ sellout streak at AT&T Park is over, and the riffs are flying. “Sellout streak? The only thing sold out was Larry Baer’s imaginary world!”

Any rumors of the Warriors demise have been greatly exaggerated. Or, did not exist at all. These are the salad days. The Warriors are champs, are in their prime, and are ready for more.

Matt Cain eyed me in the tunnel leading to the dugout before Wednesday’s Giants-Rockies game. He sized up my ill-fitting pants, my out-of-place jersey and my bearing that projected zero confidence. After all, I was about to be a Ball Dude for the very first time.

Two bits of intrigue remain in the Giants season, which essentially died in this, the month of June. The club totes a 6-18 record this month into Tuesday night’s game vs. Colorado.

After a middling 3-4 road trip in St. Louis and Chicago, San Francisco fans are frustrated and showing their discontent. With a tough six-game homestand awaiting the Giants, those emotions may not dissipate any time soon.

The Warriors just went 12-0 in the playoffs. Why aren’t they celebrating?

The Giants made a little news this week by announcing that Barry Bonds will have a plaque unveiled in his honor on the team’s “Wall of Fame” outside of AT&T Park before the July 8 game against Miami.
