Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Open Gameday Thread, 5/27

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 27, 2008 6:40 PM PDT


What annoys me most about Arizona is that they were fluky good last year. We knew they had young talent at every position, but it wasn't fair that a lot of those players had down years, the team was outscored, and they still reached the NLCS.

I feel like there's someone I should write a letter to about this travesty. That instinct is what guarantees that I'll make an awesome 80-year-old.

I put on the Cubs radio games..

Every once in a while while I’m at work with a co-worker and there’s no Giants game on. It’s mostly the other guy (Michaels?) and he’s pretty good. But then if there’s a good Cubs play all you hear is Santo yelling “YES!” or if there’s a bad Cubs play he yells “NO!”

Exactly, just more proof that being a veteran has nothing to do with making the right decisions on the field. I hate the cliche of rookie mistake, like these guys haven’t been playing baseball for close to 20 years already.
