Local Baseball Fan Confused About Score In Home Game




San Francisco, CA – Baseball enthusiast, and political scientist by night, Kyle Sirell was a little more than dumbfounded when he looked up to discover that the Rockies had tied the Giants in the top of the 5th inning Monday night.

"I asked this guy what the score was on my way back from the bathroom, and he said '1-0 Giants'," Sirell recapped for reporters via smart phone on his morning walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. "Then when I got back to the suite we were tied up. I was flabbergasted."

As Sirell attempts to catch up with the game, technology extraordinaire Matthew Martin steals a sip of Sirell's beer.


In an effort to clear things up, Dr. Brian Jacobson, Ph.D began to explain the intricacies of the portion of the 5th inning which Sirell had missed.

"I started by recapping the 3rd base runner's trip to home plate," Dr. Jacobson pontificated over tea in his back yard. "I wasn't getting through to him at first."

By the 9th inning Sirell had some idea of what was going on with the score, though by that time the Giants had scored 5 more runs and won the game.

Sirell, also a gypsy trader, was down on pier 27 Monday morning trying to sell some flowers he had picked from Ring Mountain.

"I had no idea that Kyle had a side business," Martin said. "I was really bummed when they told me."

Sirell has been on hiatus from working in the Costa Rican jungle for oil giant Chevron. He is said to be working three jobs to support his family.
