Jonathan Sanchez needs a nickname. "Dirty" fits perfectly...but I don't want to explain it to my mom. So try and get one settled before today's game, people.
I'm partial to The Reasonably Proportioned Unit, but that's because I amuse myself.

Jet Star?
One of my favorite Guild guitar and bass designs of all time was the Jet Star, aka the JS or JS II.
Gorgeous in a “so ugly it’s awesome” kinda way.
OK, maybe not.

Something Very Interesting is Happening
Pablito is playing 3b today in the San Jose vs High Desert game.
STOP SCREWING WITH PABLO!
Play him at C, or 1B, or 3B, but don’t bounce him back and forth!

Sure..
But we don’t want him turning into Velez who can’t play a position well.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
And C and 1B.
But heard C is still his best position, and the years he played C he hit the best because he was more comfortable.

Sorry Grant – it’s Dirty Sanchez. You will just have to come up with a PG rated reason why.
Like it’s the name of someone he looks like in “Three Amigos”. Or he used to live on Sanchez street, and never moved his car for street cleaning.
As long as she doesn’t google it… Actually, I just googled it with maximum safe search on! It’s a movie! And a TV show. Apparently some kind of “Euro” version of Jackass…

she didn’t look that good in person last night.. 4 rows away from her
my buddy yelled “amy g you know nothing about baseball”
amy g
i just got an email from a high school friend telling me that amy g is actually someone i went to high school with. i just saw her (down here in SD watching on the MLB package) on the comcast broadcast. not only is it her, but i am permanently disturbed by the fact that i know a female field reporter. shame shame shame.
Was she annoying then as well?

Sanchez is at 45 pitches through three innings, which is great by this team’s standards. Just once, though, I’d like to see the opposing pitcher have to throw more than the Giants’ one does.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.

All the walks that Sanchez didn't throw last outing have appeared in this one
Only 945 games until the end of Zito's contract
He still gets in big trouble when he has to throw from the stretch.

this is freaking me out. I’m not usually particularly superstitious but he totally lost it the second I showed up.

I do think it is funny how our perception has changed

they have any intention of throwing him out there until Friday at the earliest, based on their comments earlier this week.
