Even though I have an unexplainable revulsion for all things Blank it was fun to watch him deal when he was at the top of his game.

As hot as our offense is, I don’t have much faith that they can come back in this game. It still is the Giants offense, after all.
NOW it is.

Agree'd
it was fun while it lasted, but that offensive outburst will be hurting us for the next month. like 49 runs in 7 games- that’s a 2 month quota.

When you repeatedly bring in a guy sporting a 6.00+ ERA to pitch the eighth inning of close games, either your bullpen is horrific or you are the world’s stupidest manager.

Totally off topic, but
Is Singapore a duty-free trade zone? I have to ship some stuff to KL, but I think the recipient can avoid paying duties by shipping to Singapore first?
Sorry for sending this business crap during such a joyous time.
Derin McMains had five fingers, but he only used three.
Not sure
They check everything that comes through here, and if they think it’s “dutiable” they’ll usually hold it until they check with you what it’s for. Alcohol and cigarettes are taxed heavily, so it’s not really duty-free per se.
From personal experience if your goods are electronic they’ll probably hold the box. (I had a digital photo frame shipped to me.) But I didn’t end up paying any tax and it just meant a week of delays.

It is indeed electronics (220k worth of rackmount servers) and I have heard varying opinions on what it will take to get it through customs. Last time it took 8 days for customs in KL to clear, so we are going to try an importer in Singapore (Kampong Serangoon?).

But I prefer the pitching and hitting of: Timcecum.
In three series with the Dbacks
I believe they have faced Lincecum only once and have yet to face Cain
I highly doubt 3ER in a 6 innings justifies anything. I can’t stand the dude. As this article states, the Zito signing was “a feeling of nostalgia for signing a player named “Barry” to a record contract.”
