this from junior in a response to a woody paige article that ruminates on the "impending" trade of matt holliday and how the giants might fit in

The Giants? Holliday would be The New Left Fielder, and perhaps the Rockies could pry Tim Lincecum, and others, away from them.

And just like that, Woodhouse changes his bargaining strategy from "I'll give you Holliday for half a Southern Chicken Sandwich" to "I demand a foursome with the owner's wife and twin daughters." Timmy Lincecum strikes out 68 batters per inning and is controlled for five and a half more years.

In Wood-dar's universe, this translates to: "We'll give you 200-odd games of Holliday for him, but you'll have to throw in 'and others.'"

I guess maybe this would work if Holliday were 38 and you could sell Sabean on his veteran experience.

I've said it before,

But any package for Timmy would have to be pretty damn special. I’m talking Bruce + decent pitcher(s) special.

You’d trade Lincecum for Springsteen?

Love the

“and others” line. Smoking crack, they are.

So full of win

FJM is the best thing on the internets (after McC C).

As much as I love McC, I have to say I’ve found more interesting things on the net…

BTW, Does anyone else think Grant is Natto?

or that Natto is Grant?
Has anyone seen them is the same place at the same time?

That’s a really good point. I’ve hung out with Natto at a game, and met Grant briefly. Maybe we’re dealing with a shapeshifter, here.
