Return of the best Giants blog, ever.

I think I linked to this blog a month or so ago (maybe more?) but I noticed today it's had a bunch of updates.

I love this thing more than I should.

My favorite quotes:

Cain has been very intimate!

Only the 1998 Yankees have won the really, really big games and the World Series in the same season making them the passionate winner’s circle. Cain has been very intimate since the calendar hit July and a lot of it has to do with the fact that he’s finally starting to lock up some run support. He may possibly actually finish the year with delivering page after hitting through grumpy luck and run support in last years 4-16 campaign. Yes, the boss are still 20 games below .

I also thought Aaron Rowand would hit more than four HR’s

It’s Another day, another crushing defeat, another dispiriting loss. just their bat’s that buy lost punch this season. Nobody expected Aaron Rowand to repeat last years career numbers, but I did expect him to be closer to the 20 home run mark at this point than the four home run mark. Great judgement there. I don’t know.

This is also great:

The other man the coach acquired in the trade is 26 year-old lefty, Steve Hammond. I’m No matter how itchy a face is an eight game sweep is goofy in baseball, so a 5 run defeat in the series is not the end of the world. too intrigued with Hammond outside of the fact that he’s thanklessly handed.

I wish I was thanklessly handed. OK, I’m going to bed now.

Jonathan Sanchez is apparently chock full of veteran savvy.

Jonathan Sanchez had a breakout this year in his twenty-second season as a full-time left fielder, and although he didn’t finish the year in mature fashion, it looks like all that logic he has is starting to surface, and wealth will pick up interest in him this prosperity.

and congrats to Jack Taschner for becoming the new 6th inning drown-up captain to Brian Wilson.

WTFF?

Is that site translated from Aramaic?

Is this computer-generated prose? This sounds kind of like stuff I read from students and even ESL colleagues. It’s conceivable that if you studied it long enough you could identify patterns in syntax construction and turn it into an algorithm to transform “normal” text into … this.

I think I mentioned this last time… but really, it sounds like what happens when you stick something into Bablefish, translate it into whatever, and then translate it back into English.

What did you mention last time? I vaguely recall this stuff but not exactly — memory and sense of passing of time are problems …

Probably the last time xanthan posted the link to this site.

My current Interwebs obsession is pretty awesome. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com. It's not being updated right now. Hope for more at your own risk.

Since the all-star break, Cain is 7-2 with a 6.

Can’t argue with that.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

This has to be my favorite quote

trying to say that if you don’t hit home catches, you won’t victory games, but I am trying to point out that it’s striped to generate throws when your schedule has doubtfully less power than every other stomach in the league.

I wouldn’t bet on the hypocrite being very noble in free agency at all.

Words of wisdom right there.

Any cluster can cut versatile enhancing with a reliable colleague, but it takes a competent locker room to escape with the shield.

EXACTLY.

Tim Lincecum will Finally, I’m an exceptional believer in the post-season solitude. be dealt anytime soon after the year he just put together, so November 3, 2008 10:11 PM

I think that’s four different sentences mashed into one.

The part about November 3, 2008 was especially poignant.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

Whose is whose?

Park effects? Age-related decline? Psssshaw. Aaron Rowand! Middle-of-the-order hitter! Five years! And so on, and so on, for the rest of the Sabean era. The farm system is a sunny San Francisco day. Sabean’s history of acquisitions is fog rolling in from the west. Will I have to put on a parka just to sit on the patio? Maybe, maybe not, but the thought is in my head.
Park effects? Age-related decline? Psssshaw. Aaron Rowand! Middle-of-the-order hitter! Seven years! And so on, and so on, for the rest of the Sabean fouls. The farm system is a sunny San Francisco day. The two teams that raised in the World Series were the flattest defensive teams in their leagues. Sabean’s history of acquisitions is fog rolling in from the west. Seattle Mariners by all figures is a top dog. Will I promote to put on a parka just to grow on the patio?

It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.

I never put on a parka when I grow on the balcony.

This site just takes my prose and makes it 10,000 times more interesting. I bow to it.

The Texas Rangers are trying to destroy the tenth core since 1990 to win the World Series after finishing with the surest idea in the majors.

Yes, beware the Rangers and their core destroying ways.

Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.
