This is probably more for the benefit of music fans who like the eclectic brand of indie music coming out of San Fran than for a Giants fans. Still, it’s cool and for a good cause.

To keep commemorating the World Series, a group of San Fran-based bands and record label True Panther have put together a victory mix called Finally Champions. It features mostly unreleased tracks with , such as Giants Defiance by Vinnie Rat, Finally Champions by Dominant Legs, and Book It by Ezeetiger & The Sound Guys – a group I could see Brian Wilson subscribing to for his pregame relaxation mix.

Heed that ‘Donate $1′ button, and donate a buck to the SF Coalition On Homelessness.

Brief update on the gutting situation at the old Giants stadium – not in reference to Rotund Rex per say – as the Jets and Giants get set to move into an enormous new building next year.

FOUND ON EBAY: The X-Ray System from the old Giants stadium

According to the ad, the unit is in excellent shape and was used by both teams during games for injuries, physical exams for Giant players, World Cup Soccer, College football games and all other events which required diagnostic imaging services.

Not sure how old it is, but it looks old.

So if you know any lucrative radiologists – they want 4 Gs for this bad sally – who are looking to wow their patients with fun facts like, this is where Dave Meggett got screened after Bill Romanowski tried to rip his finger off, pass it along.

In related news, the aforementioned Rex Ryan would like all New York fans to know that the Jets are now the biggest show in town. And in other New Jersey news, Xanadu (this fully-erect, but not yet fully built building next to Meadowlands) might be the biggest real estate blunder in history.

The San Francisco Giants and AT&T Park earned the dubious distinction of being labeled the merchants of the priciest brew in the league – $8.75 for a 20 oz. The numbers are according to Team Marketing Report’s Fan Cost Index research, who released their April report this week.

Before we give the Giants too much guff, I think we owe them a little deeper analysis on this. For one thing, Anchor Steam (a San Fran local sold at the park) is legit. And also, I don’t really buy this report.

First off, the beer figures have a footnote attached to them that reads: Team restructured seating categories or made retroactive changes to 2008 prices. Some of the 2008 numbers used do not match up with previously reported figures.

Anyone?

What I can tell you is that the Mets’ price figure that says you pay $5.00 for a 12 oz. is, well, a sick joke (because i’d love to get my hands on a $5 beer at a Mets game). I’ve been to Citi Field five times during the 2009 campaign, and I’ve purchased beer in every possible manner, minus the ritzy V.I.P. bar, which looks like a suite at The Palms resort and casino – I doubt this is where they are hiding the $5 special. I’d wager that Yankee stadium attendees would take similar offense to the assertion that they’re paying $6 for a 12 oz.

I’d say the average Mets beer at Citi floats you about $7. This includes the 16 oz. pounders of Bud and Bud Light, and the wide array of microbrews sold in 12 oz. cans. The 12 oz. domestics you can get up in the stands run $6. If that mumbo jumbo from above is supposed to translate to mean we’re looking at 2008 prices, then it bares noting that actually the prices at Citi Field are on average lower this year than at Shea in 2008 ($7.50 for those 12 oz. Buds). So don’t feel too bad for yourselves, Giants fans, because something is absent here with the numbers.

The Diamondbacks came in with the low number at $4.00 for their beer served in metric 14 oz. cups.

Check out the research, and weigh on your team’s prices. H/T to Joe “10 Cent Beer Night” Kukura at NBCbayarea.com for the report.

Thank you. And thank you.

It was only a matter of time before this sort of thing surfaced. To be honest, I thought it would be way sooner. Make no mistake, Pats fans may be brazenly arrogant (says you), but Giants fans are still from New Jersey and still ski in their jeans, and are still capable of the wildly unfortunate…

I like to think that one of these kid’s dad saw this video, reflected back on how he celebrated the Giants’ 1986-87 Super Bowl victory – the night his kid was conceived – and took care of business.

Check out the YouTube link too. The comments are worth the price of admission.

Picture #14 also made me feel a little bit better.
