Around SBN: Padres Trade Khalil Greene To Cardinals Bar-right-arrows

Eric Brynes Available

Media by confusitron on

Should the Giants and Brian Sabean consider this move?  Brynes would be an awesome presence here in SF, he grew up here and everyone loves him.  Although the injury bug has bitten him this season we will wait and see on how he will recover.

On a side note consider this as a trade option

Zero

Black players aren’t allowed to be gritty.

Whites are gritty.
Blacks are showboat-y.
Latinos are fiery.
Asians are calculating.

This was all explained in the “Xenophobia and Baseball Analysis” handbook.

This reminds me of maybe the dumbest of all the dumb Joe Morgan quotes:

[During the WBC game between Japan and Cuba]

“I think the one thing that fans should notice is the contrast in styles of these two ball clubs. I mean, the Cubans are real emotional, they play with a lot of fire, there’s a lot going on. When you watch, you know, Japan play, they’re calculating, they’re more scientific, everything is calculated to make it work. And that’s why you see so many players trying to bunt, you know, and taking pitches, and doing so many other little things. They do all the little things, it’s kind of a science-like, to them. And, I think, the Cuban players show a little more fire, play with a little more emotion”.

Dude, you know you’re on TV, right?

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

by Cookyman on Oct 1, 2008 10:53 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s pretty much exactly where I got the idea from.

They actually said that? I was at the games so I missed that unfortunate piece of idiocy.

This was hilarious, only part of the WBC I remember

Forgot it was JM, though. I kept hoping he would refer to the Japanese as “industrious”.

Joe never uses that word.

His term is the much more precise “industrious-like.”

by Moggeee on Oct 2, 2008 12:15 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, other than Joe Morgan who said that

would have been fired the next day.

It’s why the FJM “quest” is so hilariously hopeless. Even open, flagrant racism isn’t enough to dislodge him.

Ten years ago...

… some of the greatest bigotry smack was ever uttered.

In review:

Blacks are gifted in worship and celebration.
Whites are good at organization.
Hispanics were gifted in family structure, and can put 20-30 people in a home.
Asians are inventive and can turn a TV into a watch.
Indians are gifted in spirituality.

And don’t forget about homosexuality being a sin.

RIP, Reggie White. It’s not the sacks or the gridiron domination I’ll remember, it’s the fact I can turn a TV into a watch that I’ll never forget.

by Moggeee on Oct 2, 2008 12:21 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Hmm.

I might consider that trade if Fielder would consider pitching every five days to make up for the loss of Cain.

As for Byrnes: NEGATIVES: he plays a position the Giants have a lot of talent that is around the same level as Byrnes. Byrnes costs too much for what he gives to his team. Byrnes has horrible, goofy hair. Byrnes is annoying in most other ways as well.

POSITIVES: He falls down when he throws to the infield.

It appears that the negatives outweigh the positives, in this case.
