I'm guessing
Iron Man Castillo will also make an appearance, possibly in a double switch.

Bochy will throw him in as a pinch runner, late in the game, lefty on the mound.
by rightcenterfielder on Jul 8, 2008 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions
So
Since Omar indicated a willingness to sit on the bench while Burriss got some starts, Big Head has started Vizquel pretty much every game.
Following this cause-and-effect, this means that if I were to tell Bruce Bochy I’d be willing to do the team’s laundry after every game, theyd probably give me the majority ownership share.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.

Has any non-subscriber been able to get their mitts on a copy of SI? Apparently every Borders and Barnes&Noble in Northern California sold out within an hour or so…
Exactly where have you looked.
I found a bunch when I was in the East Bay yesterday at Barnes & Noble, specifically Alameda.
Only because Sharksrog started along the coast and hasn’t made it to other side of the bay yet.

I tried it. I guess I’m more a traditionalist. Although I miss Steve Rushin.

(The Steve Rushin thing was kinda a non-seq. But I think SI was a better mag with him instead of Dan Patrick.

OT: Hey Pablito hit another HR today. 2-3 2b HR.
I realize he has only been in Conn. for a few weeks but is a call up to AAA in order if he tears the AA a new ass like he did the Cal?
I am Cameron Wood and this is my son and business partner CW Culberson.
These are the 2008 Giants. Guys who’ve been in AA for a couple hours get called up to San Francisco later that day.

Have we done this to any real prospects yet?
Cause relievers and long shot shortstops aren’t those.
you can't block the Bocock
If he does it over 60+ games like in SJ, maybe.
Today’s performance brings him up to a .793 OPS in 14 AA games. That’s good but not overwhelming.
The All-Father is now a Giant!
OT
A’s just traded Harden and Gaudin for Gallagher, Murton, Patterson, and catching prospect Josh Donaldson.

If the Cubs had traded all of that for Harden alone, this might be dumb, but to get Gaudin as well——I don’t hate this trade for either team.
The AN folks don’t seem to like it, they feel (immediate reaction) that Billy Beane got fleeced.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
I kinda agree
Gallagher will fit in with the A’s collection of 3rd starters.
Matt Murton = healthier Travis Buck.
Patterson I don’t like at all. The catching prospect, I don’t know anything about. If he’s a stud, then maybe this is the best you can’t get for a volatile commodity like Harden.
you can't block the Bocock
The catching prospect isn't hitting in A-ball
Though he mashed in the NWL last year.

he’s probably going to have like a 2.00 ERA now that he’s on the A’s

Decent talent if they were just trading for 1.5 years of Harden, but league average to above average insurance in Gaudin totally tips the scales of that trade

Veterans just need playing time to shake off the rust so they can be consistent in the field.

my mom said she liked those commercials and I was just like, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
Then again, she doesn’t watch as much baseball as I do and thus, doesn’t see them 18 times a day.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I liked the commercials the first time I saw them. Then they decided to show them twice during each break.
