I had a dream a few nights ago that I was clipping articles for Around the Mission.  The article I was reading was about the Padres and DePodesta parting ways.  If that happens then you'll know that I can see the future and will pay a little closer attention next time I write a dream diary.  I woke up and realized I was blogging during my sleep.  That's why I didn't post on Gaslamp Ball yesterday, it creeped me out.

I want to try an experiment because I don't think anybody actually reads what I write for Game Threads.  If you've read this far then clandestinely mention "Cracker Jacks" in a comment.  Those that didn't read this will wonder why everybody is talking about Cracker Jacks today.
