Giant Gwynn jesery to scale downtown building. Citizens flee in terror.

This is an artists rendition by Y3K Grafix:

If you're downtown today, drop by and get an actual photo of the commemerative gigantic jersey that's going up on the county admin building. How are they getting that thing up there? I'm guessing one of three options.

Have King Kong wear the jersey, scale the building, and staple it to the side of the building using a giant stapler from Skull Island
Have Godzilla wear the jersey, scale the building, and staple it to the side of the building using a giant mutant stapler that was created during a nuclear testing accident.
Have Optimus Prime wear the jersey, scale the building, and staple it to the side of the building using a giant stapler that transforms into a robot from Planet Cybertron.

However they do it, please get photos, because that's gotta be a spectacle.

Off work today

I'll be down there and I'll try to get some great pictures. I for one am hoping for the third option, Optimus Prime was one of my childhood heroes. Before he got those stupid flames, of course.

Padres for life

I work right next to that building.

No camera today (except a cellphone camera) but I will get everybody some pics ASAP. I'll bring my good camera tomorrow for some real photos.

Update:

I am borrowing the camera we have at our studio and heading over at 1:30 to check out the ceremony. Will share the goods afterwards.

Sorry

Got called into a meeting and missed the ceremony. I am going to go later this afternoon. The lighting should be better then anyway.

i was listenin to scott and br

and they had kevin towers on and he said that they are calling up hensley in a reliever role and optioning sledge down and they were planning on this before cy got hurt which means that they are still looking for a spot starter for cy's next start if he can't go. lastly, he said that he has made several calls to houston and they haven't returned his calls. he said that in regards to a mark loretta question.
