Open Gameday Thread, 7/23
Washington @ San Francisco
There are statistically even match-ups, and then there are statistically even match-ups. Small sample sizes be damned, this is as close as they get.

Do well Kevin!
I’m predicting he goes 6 innings, 2 earned runs, 7 H’s, 6 K’s, 3 BB’s.
Just call me Xiefrank.

I blame Bochy for not implementing this strategy earlier.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

bochy said yesterday that Omar would be a bench player the rest of the season. Funny how he’s started both games since he’s said that.

That’s what drives me crazy, they said about a month ago that he would see less playing time.

It was actually that he would be a bench player after next week (i.e., after the non-waiver trade deadline).
So check back Aug 1 to see who’s starting.

but HOW will Omar EVER break out of this career-worst slump if we just bench him?!

Seriously
Why are we waiting til next week to reduce Omar’s playing time? It’s not like he is going to increase his trade value in a week.

Hey, as long as Ed Wade has Extra Innings, there’s always a chance…

Sabean: “Omar will sit more.”
I think he meant next season…

Maybe he meant he’ll be able to sit down on the bus now that he’s got that senior citizen discount bus card?

That kinda reminds me, I was walking around DC yesterday and I saw these people go by on Segways and one guy was drinking from a water bottle pretty heavily, like he was really exhausted.
I was like wtf.
This sounded more interesting to me in my head.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE A DEAL
THAT WILL SNEAK THROUGH WAIVERS!!! I SWEAR ITS IMMINENT!!!

The idea that the trade deadline is relevant to Vizquel amuses me greatly. Who the hell would claim him on waivers after the deadline if we wanted to trade him then!? And if they did claim him, we could just let them have him anyway, which isn’t a bad thing.

I could see the idiotic policy of we’ll save $XXX from his salary if he gets picked up. . .we need to do our due dilligence. . . ugh

Fred is awesome. Lot’s of great tunes. I listen to 43 (XMU) on occasion and the 70’s Channel a good bit. The MLB coverage is pretty decent. The Show with Rob Dibble and Kevin Kennedy kinda sucks but it’s nice to be able to hear games no matter where you are.

Yeah, the baseball stuff was the deciding factor for me...
But the music was a nice bonus. I also listen to Fungus on 53. They play a bunch of punk stuff that I haven’t heard in decades.

Anyone notice there 26 players on the active roster including 3 catchers?

Take a guess who is the emergency catcher for the Giants? Bochy said it is Burriss? Strap it on!

Can somebody tell me why in the hell this game is not being broadcast in HD? Godammit.

Probably because the only people who watch HD are elitists who hate America.

Seriously – ALL games should be in HD. They have the cameras for pity’s sake. Why not use ‘em? There’s a channel set aside on all systems, not doing anything tonight. Morons.
