PrintChicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, Jun 30, 2008 7:15 PM PDT
If the Giants had signed Ted Lilly to the contract given to him by the Cubs, I would have complained for a month. Lucky for us, we signed Zito, so we didn't need to sign Lilly to some long contract for too much money.
I wonder what ol' Sparky would have written about Zito, now that I think about it....

wow
denker, burris, lewis… if only zito wasnt pitching this would be my favorite lineup

Bengie’s legs are going to fall off, he’s on pace for like 152 games.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
by the end of the year his home to first time will be measured in minutes not seconds..

That Lou Pinella/Ozzie Guillen rap video has become a part of my household. I walk into a room and shout, “North Side!” and my wife shouts, “South Side!” back. Good times, good times.
Now we know why Denker is starting
According to Bochy, he has a contusion of the right knee and is day-to-day.
Two Denker appearances on consecutive days? Bochy’s lost his mind.

This says everything about Zito
My business partner just offered me a ticket to see the game tonight, literally five minutes ago. I am still thinking about going, and probably will. Any other of our pitchers and I would already be on my way.
My friend says John Bowker sort of looks like Ray Liotta. Y/N?

So, there’s this ad on KNBR which says that the question, “When was baseball invented?” will start a fight in any sports bar.
Now, I don’t frequent sports bars, or, indeed, bars of any type, but this strikes me as slightly improbable. Why the hell would that start a fight? Do not get.
I guess it’s because no one can agree on it, but I feel like the average sports fan doesn’t know/care enough about that for it to really start any arguments

We have 3 guys in the top 20 in the league in that category

He’s a level too high, but he can hit. His problem is the mediocre glove. Mark Ellis he ain’t.

I know we rightfully hate Zito, but he hasn’t gotten a lot of help from either the ump or his defense in this start. He sure can’t locate pitches well, but if Castilol makes the play, his PC is like 25 less and 1 less run has scored.

thanks for the link. Yeah, I’m a newbie. I’ve ridden a number of times, but I’ve never had one of my own.

I started on a Kawisaki ex500. But the F2 and F3 are both good starter bikes…a little bit heavy though.

My brother destroyed all of our systems this year
The 360’s disc tray won’t open/close right, the Gamecube is missing its memory cards and the Wii is gone, I have no idea where.
So, I’m playing the PS2 (which takes about a year to load any games at all, seeing as it’s 8 years old, but it does load them eventually!) And I’m playing a PS1 game on it in Legend of Dragoon which kind of sucks but the battle system is okay.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
YES!
PS2 FTW! I had a 360 and my roomy had a PS3..we both sold them. Call me crazy but I still prefer the old one to the new ones.
I will always love the PS2 most, I just wish mine didn’t fail so hard. :(

He’s pretty good, but he’s not 12m/year good. His hitting has been OK, but his fielding is pretty much shit. He tracks down balls pretty nicely, but cannot throw to save his life.

Hill at least sported a solid slugging percentage for a couple of his years with the Giants, which is more than Felder or Dunston can say. And Benard is an automatic pick as far as I’m concerned. Maybe Hill’d be on the bench, though.
Bench would be acceptable. I accept on his behalf.

While looking at baseball-reference for awful Giants, I completely forgot that Bottenfield pitched in 1 whole game for the Giants in 1994, after getting cut by the Rockies but before the strike.
His line: 1 2/3 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 6.15 ERA. All of the suckitude of a Giants pitcher condensed into one game.
