San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies, Jun 12, 2008 12:05 PM PDT


 

It's like a Zorro thing, but much more offensive. Go, go Jonathan Sanchez.

And, for some reason, the Jamey Carroll one (third from top-left) makes me giggle. Helton's needed to be forceful and inexact in order to make it noticeable.

Your finest work, Grant. And hopefully, today will be among Jonathan’s finest work. Not of the poop-wang drawing milieu, however.

Pre-game OT

How did I miss the latest brilliantly translated quote from Ichiro?

Playing on this team and seeing what is happening around me, I feel that something is beginning to fall apart. But, if I was not in this situation, and I was objectively watching what just happened this week, I would probably be drinking a lot of beers and booing.

Awesomest

The Understated Ichiro is an awesome book. It’s just quotes culled from media sources, all the wacky, witty, deep, wise, and funny things he has said.

Favorite Ichiro quote of all time:

“I hope he arouses the fire that’s dormant in the innermost recesses of my soul. I plan to face him with the zeal of a challenger.”

- Ichiro, last year, upon facing Daisuke Matsuzaka for the first time in the US.

This is mine

On returning to Cleveland to play a makeup game:

"To tell the truth, I’m not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to," Ichiro said through an interpreter. "If I ever saw myself saying I’m excited going to Cleveland, I’d punch myself in the face, because I’m lying."

Ichiro also said that he wants to be a pitcher once he turns 40, but he has to learn a knuckleball first. The awesomeness knows no limits.

You'd think that the yearly sun would make the sub-humans crawl under their rocks.

But you’d be wrong. It just makes the sub-humans in Pacifica take off their shirts.

The difference between Tony Gwynn and Neifi Perez is about 10 hits for every 100 at-bats. The difference between Pacifica and a normal city is about 10 freaks for every 100 people. It doesn’t sound like much, but you sure notice the difference.

Being good in college means nothing though. And he hasn’t been that good in the minors, or thus far in the majors. His stuff isn’t that great, and likely won’t play well in Coors. The pick made no sense then, makes no sense now.

If you so much as mention the Mariners not drafting Lincecum on USS Mariner, you risk being banned.

But everyone is aware of the Marlins problems defensively. He also has an awful WHIP, and with his mechanics he’ll likely have trouble with command his entire career. And with his stuff you would assume he’d be able to keep the hits down, he doesn’t. I predict either arm injuries or ineffectiveness or both. Which is a shame since he has a special arm.

Taking a page from the Matt Cain book. Except he missed the part where you’re supposed to pitch as well.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Contract year doesn’t mean much if he’s serious about retiring.

He made some comments recently about strongly considering retiring at the end of the year.

He mentioned it, but he doesn't mean it

especially if he has a rebound year, which he is having

True, but at least he’s hitting.
