The search function for this site has been improved. Details from the wrench-turners:
- Improved UI: clean, open search page designed for ease of scanning results and to quickly find what you're looking for.
- Comments are searchable again.
- With one search you can view the number of results for all content: front-page stories, FanPost, FanShots and comments. One click to view those results.
- Relevant excerpts with highlighted keyword matches are displayed with every result
- You can sort by date or by relevancy
- Pages for matching players, events and teams, including quick links to stats, rosters, news and schedule are displayed in results.
- Power search allows you to fine tune your query, show more results per page and filter your search by user or date.
- Easily increase the scope of your search by including results from the league or the entire SB Nation network with the tabs at the top.
- If you're looking for something posted by a particular user, just click their name anywhere on the network and use the search box on their profile to automatically filter results by their name.
- The search results will also retrieve a LOLcat or motivational poster relevant to the search term you enter.
So rejoice. Now when someone claims they never called Tom O'Malley a first-round pick, you can search the archives to shame them.
Note: these powers are not to be used to make me look bad.
Other note: I might have made that last bullet point up.

It was translated into Japanese and then back again. It should have read:

Tom O'Malley!
Thanks, Grant, for making my constant references to the likes of Mark Portugal, William VanLandingham, and Brad Wellman sound current, hip, and with it.
Search again?
To celebrate I will show proof that Grant did, in fact, bring up the Sarlacc Pit at a Giants game. And not just any Giants game. But Barry’s record-breaker game. And then they talked about the asteroid monster in Empire Strikes Back. Though, I, personally, feel that monster is the wrong word for that creature. Different does not = monster. For shame.
Oh, and look at what some of these guys look like. They’re real people and everything.

People often go “omg why do you hate Mother’s Day?” and then I have to explain. Even this year sucks since I usually fete my grandmother because her kids are failures, but she’s spent the last eight months or so systematically alienating everyone in the family and has turned that energy on me. And all because I want to go to university on my own next year. My god. I sure suck, don’t I?
Now I know that everyone has families who are a big cup of crazy, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder if mine isn’t the worst of the bunch.

I assume you mean me.
The answer is no. But only because the Giants don’t play everyday. I try to after every game. Sometimes I post before I remember to so the count is wrong. In fact, I don’t remember if I changed it after yesterday’s game. So I need to go and calculate the correct total to see if it is currently correct.

I’m going to SF in this summer just like last year. But before that, I’d stop over LA and SD as well.
Can I go to the Dodger Stadium by public traffic ?

Believe there is no direct bus route that drops you off right at Dodger Stadium. Where will you be staying in LA area? Will you be renting a car or close enough to taxi over?

I don’t make a decision for place to stay. But if there’s no direct bus… hmm…. ARG !

Believe there is a bus that drops you off at the bottom of hill to stadium then you must either walk up about 1/2 mile.

Something tells me
Feliz was swinging at a fast ball there and got lucky that he got the slider
Only 935 games until the end of Zito's contract
Dear Giants,
Please throw Feliz slop in the dirt. Trust me. He’ll swing.
That is all.

Well, that was the worst plate appearance of the year.

This is old Jonathan
Old Jonathan, please bring New Jonathan back.

so we might have gotten excited about Jonathan Sanchez a bit prematurely
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Call me irrational if you want
But I think this was just a hiccup, just a relapse to Old Jonathan. He’ll return to New Jonathan soon.

Pretty good players on that list
All on Philly though, however.
Running down the wing
Hear United sing
Viva Ronaldo
Ortiz wasn't a bad pitcher.
And Sanchez is better than Ortiz.

Victorino
That was positively Bernardian.

My Theory
3 types of Sanchez
1. When he only pitches 5 innings or less because he walks like 6 guys, but only lets up or no runs, mostly due to luck.
2. When he’s got nothing and gives up 7 runs, tons of BB’s and pitches 4 innings.
3. When he pitches 7-8 innings, has double digit strikeouts, and gives up only 2 hits, no runs.
15-22..meh.
well, yeah
Bonds got jobbed out of at least two. So?
I was just about to say that Bowker is the perfect person to have up right now

Nice to have today’s game televised. Yesterday I couldn’t watch because CSNBA was showing college softball. I really wanted to see Vizquel’s return. Yay for hit #2600 though, and TImmy’s 200th career strikeout.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.
Adopted Giant: Henry Sosa
yesterday no one could watch unless they were there.

Uncanny
Castillo never fails to deliver.
Proud member of the Adopt-a-Giant program (Aaron Rowand)
Well, we got a run
But, geez, that’s 3 GIDP’s so far.

Hey, did you hear about the time Castillo called his shot?
He pointed his bat right at Chase Utley.

This is a little late
I’ve always wondered what would happen if the pitching coach just ignored the umpire for like a whole minute or two.

“Giants looked like they had a shot at the big inning, they get just the one run.”
how often have I heard that?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
well during the Cain starts
they don’t get any runs at all

Feliz/Castillo Comparison
Feliz: .240 .292 .421 .714 5 HR, 7 2B .825 Zone Rating (7th) 4 E 3 Million (+ we got a Comp pick)
Castillo: 252 .307 .425 .732 2 HR, 12 2B .778 Zone Rating (13th) 6 E 0.6 million
small sample size
..try the last three years.
Feliz sucks.
And Castillo is worse.
Ugh.
that said, I can think of half a dozen third basemen who were freely available last offseason who I’d rather have than Castillo
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Okay you win
Having Peety for three more years would be like having Roberts through 2009.
Utterly painful
Let's bring the...
I enjoy this out-making version of Shane Victorino
