Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, Jul 3, 2008 4:05 PM PDT
Tim Lincecum days make me feel like the Beggin' Strips dog in front of a plate full of actual bacon. Shawn Estes in 1997 was the Beggin' Strips; Lincecum is the bacon. You don't think there's much of a difference until you get the real thing.
It's Lincecum!

Sorry, I goofed and copied the wrong Simulator odds. I know you expect better from me, and I apologize. I hope my loyal fan base here isn’t too disappointed. :) Without further adoo, here they are.
My Simulator: SF / 56.14% / 7.8 runs
That’s more in line with the others. See ya fri-sat-sun. Nomar and Jones are off the DL, bet you’re real worried.

Look, it's simple
Either Vizquel will come out of his slump or he’ll retire. He hasn’t retired yet; therefore, he will come out of his slump.

I calculated and he has to go like 0-40 to get his average down in the .100 range.
This is kind of ridiculous to think about.

Doing some math
The thing that’s especially remarkable about how low Vizquel’s stats have fallen is that he got off to a really good start. Looking through box scores from mid-May, in his first five games, he was 8/18 – a .444 average. He also had three walks in one game. Since then? 34 games, 110 at bats, 11 hits. That’s a .100 BA. One extra base hit in that whole period.
It’s getting to the point where I feel sorry for him when Bochy insists on playing him. As brilliant as his career has been, it’s got to be embarrassing for him to go out there every day and fail so badly.
by jcb9 on Jul 3, 2008 3:28 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I completely agree. I was hoping Vizquel could go out with some dignity, but with him batting at a buck fifty, I think that possibility is gone.

That’s the correct usage.
But it also means (living) flesh.
In Chinese, if you tell the butcher that his meat is too expensive, he might get mad at you and tell you that your mother’s flesh is too cheap, using the same word.

Lewis love from the Talented Mr. Roto
Player A (53 percent): .282 AVG, 51 R, 6 HR, 23 RBI, 13 SB
Player B (100 percent): .301 AVG, 44 R, 9 HR, 28 RBI, 6 SBI feel these guys are close because three home runs and 20 batting average points is about the same as seven runs and seven steals (considering steals are so valuable in Roto play). Player B is slightly better overall—fine, because that’s Detroit’s Curtis Granderson. But how many times must I tell you about Player A, the Giants’ Fred Lewis?

Lewis and Granderson are similarly weak against lefties, and Lewis is protected more against them. That being said, Lewis probably has the better eye, so maybe it equals out.

And then again I guess Lewis isn’t a gold-glove center fielder….

That was a fun game.
Aurilia’s homer pretty much shut the Cubs fans up. One of them started going, “Look at the standings! Look at the standings!” And we were just like, “Uh, dude? We’re rebuilding and we were expecting to have the worst record in baseball. Third place is fantastic.” And then we started chanting “Nineteen-Oh-Eight” and they shut up for pretty much the rest of the game.

I was in the CF bleachers with a friend and this one Cubs fan was telling me to sit down because “I don’t want to look at Lincecum all day.” Me wearing my Tim shirt. I told him that Tim was going all nine so he’d better get used to it. He told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and that he knew more than I did. I told him that I’m a sportswriter so I knew more than He did, and suddenly he got friendly. I think he was trying to flirt with me, actually. I just wanted him to STFU.
Before I went to the game I made my radio debut: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/FantasyBaseballMafia/2008/07/03/Tony-Cincotta-brings-you-Fantasy-Baseball-Live- I’m dead-assed tired but I have to think that making a radio appearance and then smacking down Cubs fans and watching Tim pitch his butt off is a pretty gamer day.

I’m going to have to listen to that tomorrow, I’m a bit out of it at the moment though.
What section were you in? My $4 omg tickets were in 141, I think. There was a guy near me who was screaming at Jim Edmonds the whole game, which I appreciated, but after the twentieth time he screamed “YOU’RE A BUM, JIM EDMONDS!” I was wishing he had some other material.

We were in 143, fourth row. Like the last row before the really close seats in the CF bleachers. There was a guy sitting right next to me also yelling at Jim Edmonds. And a Dodger fan almost got thrown out in our section and he wasn’t even being a dick. Well, side from baeing a Dodgers fan.
One of my friends said I sound like Pam Beesley, in the tone of my voice and speaking manner.

there were a few talking about Omar. the usually …. weight vs avg etc. Then Omar started getting on base. It was funny, talk about the quiet zone developing behind me. Or they root on the their guys on.. “Come on Soto”....and we would add “strike out” All in all it was a friendly banter in the stands.
