Sabean says Sandoval is the third baseman

All of you with Cantu and Atkins wishes for Chirstmas better write more letters to Santa Sabean. In a article in the SF Chronicle he has come out and said Sandoval will be at 3rd next season. The action now shifts to first base where the Giants have Ishikowa penciled in for now.
Is Sabean pulling everyones chain or is he serious? Only time will tell but here are some options the Giants might explore.
Giambi - Will Sabean bring him back to the Bay?
Burrell - Switch him to first base. Another Bay Area product.
Saltalamockia - Interesting trade possibility with the Rangers.
Santa Sabean please tell us you have some more presents in your bag for Giants fans this year. Or will he just be full of hot air yelling HO HO HO into a 75 win year.

Salty Mocha could be a good fit...
An interesting possibility…solid hitter, above average 1B defense, and yet another back-up catcher (never too many?)…

You can’t judge how bad a movie is until you see Torgo walk around a tree for five minutes with no sound. Spoiler Ale…nobody cares. Him being rubbed to death was pretty funny.

Yea..
It was made with a camera that had like 30 second film rolls with no sound. That means no shots are longer than 30 seconds and all the sound was re-dubbed by about 3 people.

it does have some great unintentional comedy in it. Who pitched the idea “ok, we’re going to take the kid from ‘Third Rock from the Sun’ and make him a rich kid wigger obsessed with hip hop culture.” Part of me wants to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s all tongue in cheek, but they really seemed like they thought they were making a dramatic masterpiece.

May I just balance out all of the Napolean Dynomite hate?
By calling you guys “idiots!”
I find that there isn’t really any middle ground on Napolean Dynomite. One typically either hates it (doesn’t get it) or loves it (gets it). And by “doesn’t get it” I mean the humor doesn’t appeal to them. Not, you know, the jokes are over their head or anything.
And it’s funny, because I like Napolean Dynomite much more than Seinfeld.

I keep going back to his movies even though I know they’re going to be both spectacularly dumb and spectacularly pretentious. There’s something fascinating about his stubborn belief that he’s some kind of Stanley Kubrick of cheesy pulp throwaways.
I think The Village is by far his best, though.

“this was someone’s stolen grad school final with soderbergh’s name attached. so boring i got up and started doing the dishes halfway through. let me repeat, this movie drove me to do dishes. DISHES.”
welcome to the jungle
“this movie… is terrible.”
the astronaut farmer
“where the hell where they going with this movie? let me tell you how it ends: retardedly.”
miami vice
“i really, really didn’t care what happened to any character in this movie. you know what, let the bad guys win. or don’t. i’m getting a beer.”
dreamgirls
“this movie leaves the heartfelt reminder that if you remain a diva bitch in the end you get to be a star. great lesson for today’s youth.”
mission: impossible
“let me spoil it for you. at the end, when given the chance to kill the hero at point blank range, the villain decides to shoot his own wife instead. terrible.”
cache
“this movie is why people hate the french”
firewall
“if harrison ford has a home video of him rapping Rza tunes while dressed like a duck it would be less silly than this piece of crap. i’ve never rooted for the hero’s dog to be killed so much.”
date movie

Why don’t you simply join existing discussions that are already taking place on the topics you bring up? The impression that you give by starting your own thread (as opposed to reading others and commenting on others) and then leaving is that you want everyone to read your opinion, but don’t care to read what anyone else says.
As far as people being movie buffs instead of baseball fan, since you obviously don’t “get it”, the stray from topic (like movies) is what happens when someone posts a topic that’s already been posted to death. It’s a subtle way (perhaps too subtle for you) that this thread wasn’t necessary.

That has a lot to do with it, yes. Althought it’s more of an artistic complaint for me than anything resembling the-movie-made-me-feel-like-crap-and-I-have-that-crap-feeling-association-with-it. I am fundamentally artistically opposed to the “everything is shit” approach. I guess in that sense, you could say that I feel about it the same way I feel about Bamboozled.

Fair enough. I like it for that reason, mostly because I hate movies where everything works out in the end. But, obviously, there is a huge area between those two extremes.

I think it was my thehavenot movie. There was a lot of stuff that just plain didn’t make sense to me. Two kids infiltrate a military patrolled border? The wife is alone in a room with a bunch of “zombies” who would rip anybody else into 80 pieces, and she not only survives, but isnt even maimed. Part of the reason given that the virus can’t get past the walls is because it’s not transmittable by animals… but how did it start, Grant??? How did it start!? That’s right, with MONKEYS!

I don’t want to get into a big thing here but: what I got form it was how one could destroy their lives by getting lost in their own delusions.

I thought HBP and GOF were the two best books. Worst, I thought, were the first and last ones. The last one was not only badly plotted, it was unfair to the loyal readers. As TV writer J. Michael Straczynski once said “Remember the rule: before you use the gun, you show it on the mantle. You play fair. And create the context in which the payoff later works.” Rowling failed miserably on that account in her last book.

OK
I’m stepping into deep nerd territory here, but what the hell:
Throughout the entire sixth book, we keep on learning about how important it is to be able to cast spells nonverbally. Harry tries to learn, but fails, which is why he fails at attacking Snape in the end of the book. Then, in the seventh book, nobody does it! Not the Order members, not the Death Eaters, not even Voldemort when he tries to kill Harry near the end of the book. The all say the names of the spells when they cast them. Why constantly mention it throughout an entire book if you’re simply going to ignore it in the next one? There are a million things like that in the seventh book, which is one of the reasons it’s so aggravating.

In my opinion, the secret ending to that movie is that everybody actually died and they showed up at his mom’s house (or wherever they were) in heaven.
Because, really, none of them survived that crap! And the destruction conveniently stopped the street before where they were trying to go, or something? Yeah right. They all died.

That row of brownstones having survived was maddening too. I assume one of the deleted scenes in the movie is the ex-wife and her family sitting around, sipping brandy watching the destruction that conveniently stops immediately across the street. “Looks like the Johnsons won’t have the best Christmas decorations in the neighborhood THIS year!”
I left angry.
I’d also like to point out the crappiness of Austin Powers 3. Too many cameos, it basically became a movie full of, “Hey, look how we cleverly put this actor in the movie! Aren’t we great, funny, and relevant?” Totally off topic, but I hated it.
