San Francisco Giants @ Houston Astros


Football season is around the corner, and Niners Nation is going strong. Some of the regulars here moonlight as regulars there. If you can't get enough HowTheyScored, here's your chance. If you absolutely can get enough HowTheyScored...he, uh, doesn't post there.

The analysis is great, and so is the community. Go and register as a Niners Nation user today!

Also, if one or both of your parents did not love you, it's possible that you are a Raiders fan. In that case, please note that there is a support group at Silver and Black Pride.

Encouraging defectors

Grant appears intent on thinning the McCovey herd….

Well

If you’re looking to “defect”, the Niners are your team.

No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.

Defect is the defining word of the York organization

I’d rather he be traded before next season – less time for him to get hurt or otherwise crash and burn his trade value, such as it is.

YES

I honestly cannot stand him anymore. He can’t hit, he can’t get on base, he grounds in to a ton of double plays and CAN HE PLEASE LEARN TO BLOCK A DAMN BALL? He should be thanking the official scorer for all those “wild pitches” they score.

I dont understand everyone’s excitement over Rohlinger. He hit .235 last year in low A. He hit good this year but I’d rather see him sustain this hitting in Triple A. Shoot me, but I kinda wanna see McClain. I know he’s old but I always feel bad for that guy.

by MetalFaceDoom on Aug 13, 2008 4:31 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

also, excitement is Rohlinger is not Jose Castillo.

The big thing is

his name isn’t Jose Castillo and, unlike McClain, he is young and might have a future in the league.

Stand at plate with bat on shoulder, no matter what.

That would be a change from mad, hacking, flailing monkeys preceding him at 3B.

Plus, Roos Davis is one of the monkeys.

Ways for Rohlinger to improve:
- not have a mustache

Would think MLB would not have him ump any game his brother is associated with. Possibly a move to AL would be good.

But with interleague games, umpires all doing both leagues….nah. Sorry, but family members of MLB players should be automatically disqualified.
