Giants might get Randy Johnson

Tiny by TakeAGiantStepNGo on Comment 310 comments

 John Shea talking on KNBR today from Vegas said Johnson wants to stay in the NL and on the West Coast. He said Johnson is looking for about 8 mill this year. 8 mill seems like about 2.5 mill too much. The Giants might be interested in Johnson especially if they can promote a 300 future game winner and a Hall of Famer. Seems like something the Giants would do. So much for going young.

of course old man johnson says s.f. has a lot of appeal. look at sabeans’ track record – he loves to sign players that are too old and for too much money. sabean’s a fool…

“The phrase "What it do” is colloquial speech for the English expressions “How are you doing today” or “Hello, what is going on?” It is also used as a rhetorical question, often clarifying, or re-emphasizing what was just acknowledged. This practice of language is often used by African Americans, or Hispanics. "

I must have sunk 100 hours in to that game. My team is fairly studly (3 90 pitchers, everyone else 70+), but I’ve kind of hit a wall because the American Dreams are total pushovers at this point so there’s nothing left to do but grind toward more 90 players.

Railroads , railroads , railroads.

Develop monopolies early but not too deep…make ’em pay for themselves.

Remember your card properties – the props that Chance/Community Chest guide folks to – railroads , St. Charles , Illinois , New York (“GO BACK 3 SPACES”) , an’ the good ol’ Deep Blue Duo.
  Mortgage your ass for the must – haves (Railroads , and majority holdings on the Pacific row). Buy one of EVERYTHING , if just to block. Keep an eye on player money , don’t make deals when instant opponent development can happen.

Vic Jr. and I once played on a train from Flagstaff to L.A.

At two A.M.

He was five.

In college my roommate and I had epic battles on RBI (the original). The rules were you had to throw strikes. If you threw a ball outside the strike zone and the batter took it then the next pitch had to be a meatball down the middle. I would play with the Giants and he would play with Angels. I would have Mike Aldrete hit lead off and play SS obviously defense was not a factor. He always subbed Ruppert Jones for Bob Boone.

Also, Metroid was kickass.

I’ve not looked heavily into it yet, but I’ve been unable to get my Wii to connect properly to my home network. I fired up the wireless connection and downloaded a system update, and since then I’ve not been able to connect. I even got a wired connection in place now, and it doesn’t seem to connect. Why? Because it wants to piss me off. But like I said, I haven’t spent much time working on the problem.

I ate at Amber for lunch today with my boss. That’s some weak Indian food.

Have any recommendations in the ’Loin?

Shalimar. It’s in a pretty tough neighborhood, and the place looks like hell, but it’s legit Indian food and really good.

I’ve eaten there a bunch of times, never gotten sick, never seen a mouse. Making sure bums don’t steal your food is a real problem though.

Maybe all my time in third world countries has made me weird, but . . . I I’d rather eat at a place with dirty tables and good food than a place with clean tables that serves bland-ass crap. Clean tables are for wusses.

I’m confused, where do you put the toilet paper then?

In some countries, it’s common to have toilets that can’t handle toilet paper, people usually keep a little waste basket in the bathroom.

What a original idea!

It’s not like this has not been discussed non stop for a while now. Can a Moderator ban someone from making fanposts?

They turn out to be a zillion(seriously, add them up) posts about what food is good, or if Pomegranate Juice tastes good, or (in this case Nintendo, or what is the worst movie you have ever seen. I know I can skip all that stuff….but……sigh

we do talk a lot about baseball. It’s good to mix it up.

No, oldjacket, I want to post the 1,000th rosterbated lineup and talk about who we could get in a Matt Cain trade!

Yeah, this is a site where a sizable number of us know the names of middle relievers in the minor league systems of OTHER TEAMS, it doesn’t lack for baseball talk.

A TAGSNG is a guy who creates a FanPost about something that’s already being discussed at length elsewhere on the site and then watches helplessly (or doesn’t read the comments because he has a job) as it is hijacked into a post about NES games.
