PrintYou are the manager for the San Francisco Giants. Your team is trying to avoid a sweep at the hands of the rival Dodgers, and Tim Lincecum is scheduled to pitch. However, there is a good potential for a lengthy rain delay.
What do you do?
Let Lincecum start, and hope the rain stays away. (turn to pg. 42)
Oh, sweet mercy, no. Can you imagine what it would do to a young pitcher to have him warm up to come into a game, then stop for a delay, then put him back in? Man, that’d be stupid. You have an off day coming up; use the bullpen to start, and if you’re sure the rain won’t be a factor, bring in the young pitcher for the final five innings. (turn to pg. 46)

I don't even know 'er!
Love the Choose Your Own Adventure threads, Grant, but you gotta pace yourself. It's gonna be a lonnnnnnnnng season.

Love the twist at the end if you refuse to put Lincecum back in. Very poignant.

Brilliant, as usual
But I think Bochy used this to manage last night:
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
Every day should be Caturday.
If you like things that are funny, perhaps you'll like ChatterBalks Dot Com?
My god
I couldn't stop watching that Clip at the end.
He is Vengeance. He is the Knight. He is Dave Righetti. PRAY TO HIM!
It all makes sense:
Last night, Tim Lincecum was Beaker to Bruce Bochy's Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
It is fairly amazing. A fitting end to such a stellar post.

NOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't understand the graph...
...does it have something to do with whether or not Zito sucks?
2008: My previous assessment may have been overly optimistic.
Replace "Rick Astley" with "Barry Zito" and "never" with "always"

grant trying to live up to the appreciation thread. well done. funniest thing i've seen/read/adventured/clicked all day. week. month. the most disturbing thus far was this, political ad/rock video/acid trip:

I'd just like to point out
That I always stuck up for Felipe Alou, however much grief he took around here. Alou would always leave the starters in too long but he never did anything as stupid as Bochy did with Lincecum.
So this is what we're reduced to...
"Yeah, Alou always liked to stick forks in electrical sockets too, but at least he didn't stand in a bucket of water while he did it."
2008: My previous assessment may have been overly optimistic.
a line I will steal....
Ladies and gentlemen....your 2008 Giants!
I got one word for you: "youneverknow"
strong work, grant.
sorry for getting pansy all over your gamer...

I can't believe you got me.
And, apparently, I've never clicked on any of the choices in the choose-your-own-adventure posts... I guess I didn't know... that it would... lead anywhere...

I love these
Simple as that. Thanks for making my Friday start off with a good laugh.

I don't know what a Burmese accent sounds like
Is it anything like a Myanmarian, er, a Myanmarese, um...like an accent on someone from Myanmar?
Only 969 games until the end of Zito's contract.
Still way better than me
I said it with a fake burmese accent.

Great stuff...
I missed the excitement last night. But, this is good. The graph and made me snort out loud during a meeting. I cough or two cover my bad.
Rick Astley wasn't he a Spice Girl? I think Hairy Spice.
Exhibit A
Why Grant is a funny genius! Thank you for entertaining us all year and on the off days and the off season and everything. Just Great!
Brilliance
Grant, please add my thanks to those above. It put a long night into proper perspective --- thankfully I have a home office, so I could laugh out loud. We're not worthy . . .
by the way
to get those stubborn pansy stains out just use a little elbow grease and moxy

What you didn't see...
Before Lincecum went back in, Rowand took him in the clubhouse to rub some dirt on his killing arm. All gamer's know two things:
1. rubbing dirt on an injury (or possible injury) will act as a Warrior's Shield, preventing any future pain.
2. Eating anything hot will put hairs on your chest and balls. Fact.
Matt Cain's right hand beats a Royal Flush.
Grant has done it again
That was side-splittingly hilarious. I'm with Andy on the "OM NOM" monster - pure gold!
