Have you ever tried to use a computer with a mouse that has a broken left button? Frustrating.

Also, the Giants stink.

Have you ever tried rooting for a baseball team that is old, slow and listless--that, despite being as old as Methuselah, plays excrebly bad fundamental baseball?

Yeah, I guess you have. Sucks to be us.

Re: Defensively there is a match
PECOTA, which is generally pretty conservative, has him pegged at around a 690 OPS for next year.

A 690 OPS with great speed and super-human defense at age 28 is worth $2-3 million a year.  PECOTA even values him at $5-6 million a year for the next few years.

The key is simply to not overpay for the guy.

When they said that Zito was historically a slow starter, I had no idea that they meant he started slow EVERY GAME.

Bad seats didn't exist , the setting was cozy and informal , and Shea Hillenbrand  and Jeff DaVanon (Must be a PLTBNL , as he had none on his uni...) suffered many indignities.
  In - between entertainment included a tire rolling contest and little guys hitting off tees. Loaves of Sara Lee honey oat were handed out on the way out. We plan on making $1 beer night on the 29th. If you're here losing money anyway , you could do worse!

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/12
I watched from the third inning on.

I hate this team.

Steve Kline: He's pretty okay!

I'll see your hate

and raise you two loathes of free Sara Lee bread.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/12
Goofus Jr. did great! Not too bored, not too screamy. Right on.

The rest of the team, not so much. It looked at the beginning like Zito was going to be the goat, but then it was actually the offense that failed to drive in runs. Ridiculous.

Ooh, I'm sorry I missed the highlights! Hopefully Goofus can post some video of the 3rd inning in a diary).

As for me, I was relaxing all weekend up in Anderson Valley, in a place with no TV or radio. In other words, as far away from this god-awful team as I could get.

He just might be talking 'bout...
Philo, Navarro, Boonville, Yorkville.

Enough grapes and pretty little towns to make a man forget the rush of the city, and the crush of his baseball team.
