Great Quote from Chris Haft

Print"In an attempt to bolster the Giants' offense, Bochy said he'll likely start second baseman Ray Durham on Tuesday."
Classic.
Also, I just watched There Will Be Blood and thought to myself, what would life be like if Magowan resemebled Daniel Plainview in any way, shape, or form. And would a conversation between Magowan and Sabean go like this:
Magowan: Are you an angry man, Brian?
Sabean: About what?
Magowan: Are you envious? Do you get envious?
Sabean: I don't think so. No.
Magowan: I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Sabean: That part of me is gone... working and not succeeding- all my failures has left me... I just don't... care.
Magowan: Well, you're fired.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE
I love that movie.
Good dialogue! Ray Durham and his 78 OPS+ are ready to boost some offenses!
Speaking of 2B, no way Ray turns that DP that Velez did last night. That ball would have shot past him by 5 feet.

six of one...
I’m no Durham apologist, but Velez’s OPS+ is currently 65. I expect that the kid could use a day here or there to re-assess his approach at the plate. If Durham wasn’t so terrible in the field, I’d actually like to see him in there more on the off chance that he could impress some other GM with his bat. Again, it seems to be a moot point; he looks horrendous in the field.
Difference between Velez and Durham
Upside vs. Nursing home. Neither may work out over the long haul, but one is garunteed not to.
Eugeniooooooo!!!!

Velez is certainly struggling at the plate
But, he looks like he is learning every time he gets out there. I can promise he will be more careful trying to stretch a 2b into 3b from now on. Durham should keep playing while he is hot, and then be sat @ his first Ofer.

Use False Swipe and Yawn and throw Ultra Balls at him. One has to stick.

Kinda looks more like Ho-Oh, though…

Oh man, now that you say that, that probably was originally a picture of Ho-Oh. I didn’t even recognize it. I just googled “Phoenix” :(
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
It’s all good cos Ho-Oh is the Phoenix in Pokemans. Which means I never got why Moltres was there. Is he just a fire bird then with no cool mythical powers? And 4x weak to rock? Lame.

Moltres was definitely the worst of the original three Legendary Birds.
Articuno was a pretty permanent fixture in my original Pokemon Blue team.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Articuno is just awesome. He’s my favorite Pokeman ever. Even though I just complained about being 4x weak to rock. To hell with it! ARTICUNO 4 LYFE

Articuno was just awesome. He totally pwned Lance in the Elite 4.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Hella! I really like ice types anyway, so Articuno was like my guy.

These Pokemon threads always make me want to post the pic of Bengie with his mitt on his head.

Post away! That picture always makes me LOL.

Articuno FTW
Easily the best of the original three birds. I tend to gravitate toward Pokemon with unfortunate weaknesses but are absolute beasts. It’s me, my Tyranitar and Garchomp versus the world!
I claim OU!
Though I do love Tyranitar …

Go Articuno!
My original Blue team lived and died by Articuno.
by withclubsauce on Apr 22, 2008 2:38 PM PDT up reply actions
My brother had Articuno on his Red team
And even though my Blue team was more balanced and levelled higher, I always had trouble with him because of it.

someone make me stop making horrible quasi-photoshops
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Wow Ray comes with 10% MORE RAMEN guys! Rich Aurilia can’t do that.

I was going to try to make it say 10% MORE DURHAM or something like that, but I couldn’t figure out how to make the text be at an angle so I gave up. Lazy.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
That would have contained 10% more lulz.

select the layer with the text you want to rotate
and then go to Edit, Transform, Rotate. After you rotate it click the check mark to Apply the Transformation.
2002? I'm over it. But I'll never be over Rich Aurilia.
Unfortunately, I don’t actually have Photoshop. The only free Photoshop-esque program there is for Macs is Graphic Converter, which sucks epically.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
GIMP rocks
All my cheesily edited graphics are done with the GIMP. My own lack of time and skillz are to blame for the cheesiness, however.

Improved!
Seriously, thanks for pointing that out to me. It’s awesome and way better than GC.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Best.

It fits well
Because Ramen (high sodium and such), like Ray, is bad for my heart.

Also from Haft...
...comes the headline: “Giants make just enough miscues”.
Nice to know they’re using their miscues efficiently; wouldn’t want to squander them all too early in the season.
