Re: What is a Gamer?

Can someone provide a reasonable argument for how the other Giants marketing slogan, "All Out. All Season." is NOT an indirect insult at the effort put forth by the team last season? Why not just put signs on the backs of buses that say "2008: This Year, We're Running Out Ground Balls and Not Hacking at Sliders in the Dirt"?

Great Moments in Naming History

My ex-wife was a middle school teacher, and here are some of the great names of all time-- and I did see the class roster for verification. (Note to self: it was 14 years ago, but maybe the need for verification contributed to the demise of that relationship?)

3rd Prize: Family surname of Lear, so of course, the parents name their daughter Crystal Shanda Lear.

2nd Prize: A summer school student's first name was LaTrine. Yes, pronounced just like that. I assumed she was named in honor of where she was conceived.

Grand prize: Family surname of Cox. The mom's name -- mind you, she married into the name, so it's just sort of coincidence -- was Candy. Yep. Mom's name is Candy Cox. So, of course, they have a daughter, and name her....

.... Pleasure. That's right. Pleasure Cox.

And before anyone criticizes any of the naming choices any of these parents made, let me just defend them by saying that stripping is a perfectly honorable profession.

Re: What is a Gamer?

A gamer doesn't hoarde his talent in a better effort to make it through a 162 game season.

A gamer vainly attempts to run down a homer 10 rows deep in the bleachers.

A gamer knows that once out of every 200 at bats, that routine grounder to second is going to get misplayed, and he might just beat out the throw to first.

A gamer won't take the lazy man's approach by knocking 40+ homers a season. A gamer prefers to be speedy.

Barry Bonds is NOT a gamer. And we officially hate him now. Mark it down.*

* Note that I don't hate Barry Bonds, that last line is said from the perspective of the Giants

Gamers don't throw heat, they prefer to throw 85-88MPH fastballs.

Lefties are better gamers than righties.

A gamer knows the true value of a strikeout (not applicable to pitchers).

A gamer knows that working a pitch count means he's spending less time getting dirty in the field.

Gamer is a term used to try to convince you to like a player that really isn't all that good. You are supposed to like gamers for the way they play the game, rather than how well they play the game.

Personally, I could care less if a player personally gives me the middle finger every time they come to the plate, so long as they perform well on the field.

You know, back when I first got into baseball a few years ago and it was just Kruk randomly saying "Gamer" sometimes, I didn't mind it so much.

But all of a sudden it seems like everything is GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER GAMER and it's just become so irritating.
