PrintLong as I can remember, I've wanted a Cy Young from a Giant.... or... my ultimate dream.. a Giants pitcher to throw a no-no.
I've been SO pissed at the Red Sox... because a) they've WON while BECOMING the evil empire (and somehow their fans still think they're the underdogs... LAUGHABLE) while effing Clay can't pitch anymore Buchholz pitched one, AND Jon yay for me overcoming cancer Lester got one too... UGH.....
I'm not as much of an ass as I seem like... honestly good for them but why can't Timmy the franchise throw one, or Matt Cain... GIVE SF A BREAK!!! NO HITTER OR SERIES WIN NOW!!!! 2009!!!!! or any reasonable years from then.
Not expecting spirited discussion on this... just the most +1's EVER. Do it folks.

But seriously... Webb has a solid candidacy at the moment.
I looked 2 days ago at ESPN’s stats page for pitchers, and Webb is ahead of Lincecum in all kinds of things: BAA, OPS against, etc. Lincecum leads in ERA (important) and K’s (not very important…. what?? if a batter GETTING K’s isn’t that bad statistically, then a pitcher THROWING K’s can’t be the highest value attribute either, can it?). Both are having great seasons, and I think we all know that Cy Young voters pretty much only look at wins, and Webb will have more than 20— the ultimate odometer award: once the first digit clicks over to 2, you can clear the space on the mantel.
I would love to be talked out of the above. Takers?

K’s (not very important…. what?? if a batter GETTING K’s isn’t that bad statistically, then a pitcher THROWING K’s can’t be the highest value attribute either, can it?)
It can, but I don’ t think we really wanna go into this.
..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
webb will
win, but Lince has had the better “offense independent” year, by almost every advanced value stat (i.e. VORP, win shares, PRC) – the exception being support-neutral wins (I suspect because Tim has been so consistent).
FIRE BRIAN SABEAN
Look at quality of competition.
Lincecum has had eight starts against the elite offenses of the NL (Mets, Cubs, Phils, Cards, Brewers). Webb has had five.
Lincecum has had six starts against the offensive doormats (Nats, Pads, Giants). Webb has had seven.
Each has had three starts against the Rockies. Lincecum has had two in Coors, one at home; Webb has had two at home and one in Coors.
Also, look at unearned runs. Timmy has allowed five, Webb nine.
The only argument Webb has on his side is that it’s much harder to pitch in Arizona than in SF. I don’t think that’s quite enough to make up for all the other stuff.
Voters also like name-recognition
Tim’s getting some notoriety, but I think Brandon Webb’s history of excellence is going to be a major factor in his favor.

K's are one of the most important pitching stats
Every K is a near zero percent chance of a batter reaching base. Every ball hit in fair play can create a baserunner, even if it becomes an out. When you lower the balls actually getting into play you lower the number of baserunners.
One pitcher could have a higher BABIP while still giving up fewer hits because of a strikeout discrepancy (and luck.)

The way I see it
They peaked somewhere between the middle of the second season and the beginning of the forth. The fifth was still pretty funny, but less good. The sixth and seventh were meh, and that’s when the characters started turning into complete caricatures (especially Monica and Joey). Then the eighth was a bit better with the Rachel pregnancy thing. The 9th and 10th were awful.

There were some really good episodes with emotional depth in the early seasons of Friends. The episode where Carol and Susan get married is a great one for that, as is the episode where Monica considers artifical insemination.

Oh yeah that was awesome. But I think I’ll stick with The One Where Eddie Won’t Go:
Chandler: Eddie, do you remember yesterday?
Eddie: Uh yes, I think I vaguely recall it.
Chandler: Do you remember talking to me yesterday?
Eddie: Uh, yes.
Chandler: So what happened?
Eddie: We took a road trip to Las Vegas man.
Chandler: Oh sweet Moses.
..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
Oh no doubt that episode is one of the funniest and best of the series. I’m partial to Chandler’s “that guy is…standing in the window holding a human head. HE IS STANDING IN THE WINDOW HOLDING A HUMAN HEAD.” Eddie was hilariously crazy with the goldfish thing, plus the ex girlfriend thinking the capital of Cambodia is Sean Penn, lulz.

I don’t recall it being on at the same time as MNF, unless you caught it in syndication.
So are you angry about not getting to watch football or at the actual series itself because you saw it, made an accurate critical judgement and then decided you didn’t like it? Either one is acceptable.

The OC was fantastic
I always laugh at people who make fun of it, yet never saw any of the first season. Brilliant writing. Unfortunately it got pretty stupid in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, too soapish. That and they got away from some of the themes that made the first season so compelling.
Thank you
I think season 2 is still good in places. The Summer/Seth/Zach thing was stupid, the comic book was stupid, Marissa really began to annoy me in that season, Julie’s scandalous past stuff and her jerkoff Lance guy was stupid. But the Trey arc (aside from the OC Confidential when they busted the drug guy on the beach, ugh) was really fantastic and explored a lot of good stuff plus opened up the stuff for the season finale which was mind-blowingly good.
Season 4 redeemed the series, at least the first nine or so episodes of the season. Then again they sort of got away from all the good stuff they built up and got stupid, but the finale was great again.

Liked the 4th season
It indeed redeemed itself. They should have just killed off Marissa in TJ in the first season. It would have saved us from Oliver. And then Ryan could have gone into major depression and angst faze. That would have been a lot better.
I totally agree about Marissa. There was real potential for growth with her after her parents split up and that, but they pissed it away. After that I just stopped caring about her character. She was SO STUPID about Oliver, Johnny, et al that I wanted to put my fist through the television listening to her stupid shit.

I was disappointed
Summer should have got more airtime. Same with Dr. Roberts. Michael Nouri is a good actor and he probably could have used the work.
Also maybe we could have met the stepmonster. Although I can see why maybe it was better to keep the myth about her and never have her actually shown.
Summer really was the breakout star of the series. She should have had top billing all along, but OMFG MARISSA’s latest drama with her bad hair day and her cocaine and drinking and I can’t choose a boyfriend shit. God. So glad when she died.
Plus Rachel Bilson is like a hundred million times better looking than Mischa Barton but whatever.

I got into it at the end of season 2 when I was near death with bronchitis, and couldn’t do anything but lie around. I was drifting in and out of sleep one day and the TV was on, and there was an episode of Psych. I laughed—mostly coughed—a lot at the episode. I decided to give the series a shot after I was no longer a captive audience and I was hooked.
I liked Dule Hill in The West Wing and had no idea he could bring the comedy like he does as Gus. And James Roday is just aces plus both are pretty nice to look at.

I think last season (or the 1st half of season 12) was very strong.
Tonsil Trouble – Philadelphia/Cartman/Aids was very very demented and classic cartman that we hadn’t had in a couple seasons.
Britney’s New Look – I thought had a strong point to make about our feeding frenzy for celebrity gossip and how we may be contributing to Britney’s emotional troubles.
Major Boobage – Heavy Metal awesomeness.
Canada on Strike – I see people quoting this episode in the GDTs. A nice smack at the Hollywood writers.
Eek, a Penis – I don’t remember the subplot but whatever. Probably the weak link of the season. Garrison decides to become a man again.
Over Logging – Grapes of Wrath meets internet porn. Amazing ep.
Super Fun Time – This was another hit and miss type episode I think. I liked it because I have been to Ren Faire and have some idea what they were making fun of. Plus I love Butters.

Is that the one where they threw the ninja star in Butters’ eye and then dressed him as a dog to take him to the vet?
Zooperstars, they quack me up!
yup

Just Shoot Me, the Donnie episode
This show was usually pretty mediocre, but the episode with David Cross as Donnie is one of the funniest episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.
Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie!
I rarely think about favorite episodes
But I’ll try and make a list anyway:
ST:DS9 – Oh crap, this is why I don’t think about favorite episodes. Okay here they are: “Far Beyond the Stars” “Emissary” “Duet” “Past Tense 1 and 2” “Trials and Tribbleations” “In Purgatory’s Shadow/By Inferno’s Light” “Children of Time” “A Call to Arms” “The Sacrifice of Angels” “In the Pale Moonlight” “Take Me Out to the Holosuite”
Buffy – “Once More with Feeling” Non-musical division: The one where Buffy asks for advice from Spike and he tells her about how he killed the two slayers. Also, the Season 3 Finale.
Simpsons – There’s no way I narrow it down to even the size of the list I have for DS9.
Only 849 games until the end of Zito's contract
Oh crap
I forgot perhaps the best DS9 episode: “The Visitor”
Only 849 games until the end of Zito's contract
It's something They Might Be someday

I don’t think I actually know the names of any episodes of anything I’ve ever watched except Spongebob.
I don’t watch hardly any TV except cartoons with my kids occasionally.
Fairley odd parent to Wendell
Except I don’t like the cartoons that are on these days so my kids watch all the cartoons that I got to when I was growing up. We’ve been watching Gummi Bears, Tailspin and Duck Tales lately, they love Transformers and He-Man (the most powerful man in the universe!). We’ll probably get into Voltron, Thundercats, Batman and Gargoyles at some point.

it saddens me
that my kids don’t know who Bugs Bunny is.
Looney Tunes were absolute magic when I was a kid.
Fairley odd parent to Wendell
i always wanted road runner to get caught and eaten. id be like “this plan has to work, its so much better than usual”. I also wanted tweety and the mouse from tom+jerry to be brutally eaten as well. The only bad guy I didnt root for was pepe lepew, that damn french rapist.

Get the DVDs!
We have a couple of sets, which are in somewhat alarmingly saturated color, but have definitely indoctrinated the next generation into classic Warner Bros cartoons. Sometimes I catch the boys crooning “I like to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a…”
Like Barry Zito, I'm mildly half-OK.

The best episode of Looney Tunes ever.
I’m the little fellar’s mother, and I was sooooooo worried!!
Now THAT'S a big deal
I have witnessed two Giants no-hitters. Not that big a deal. I have seen a Giants pitcher win a Cy Young Award. No biggee.
Winning a World Series? Now THAT would be a big deal!
I too was at a Giants’ game with a no-hitter….grumble grumble stupid mumble Florida fing Marlins grumble….which if I remember right was also the year that they won a world series.

Although I just went and counted, the Giants have been no-hit seven times since they last threw a no hitter, that has to be close to the current leaders in this category, although I didn’t have time to go and count every team. If anyone has the time…..

I had an asshole roommate named Kevin one time. So I agree with this “No Kevin” (we’re not even allowed to have one) policy.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
I totally agree. For instance, I also seem to avoid movies with Kevin Costner

i don’t understand the costner backlash. how many killer movies does a guy have to be in to get some respect?
JFK[FC]
Bull Durham (suck it, haters)
No Way Out (Starring Gene Hackman!)
Field of Dreams
Untouchables
Perfect world (actually a great movie)
American Flyers (horrible but fun if you ride)

and you forgot never cry wolf.
I think it may be because of Waterworld or something. I dunno.

You haven’t listed any killer movies here yet. Field of Dreams gets a bye since it is a baseball movie.
by paboperfecto on Aug 27, 2008 12:50 PM PDT up reply actions
neither have i listed any movies that warrant the backlash.
i believe the larger point stands.
costner backlash = unwarranted

Bull Durham
::sigh::
That aside, I have always been a Costern fan. I have seen a lot of movies worse than Waterworld, for all the crap it gets.

Bull Durham is a great movie. Just for the monologues, alone.
by positiveuphemism on Aug 27, 2008 12:52 PM PDT up reply actions
monologues...okay true
But as I’ve said way too many times around here, any movie cannot be taken seriously or considered a “great” movie, when the object of sexual desire is Susan Sarandon.

Am I the only one who liked Open Range?
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
absolutely not
I thought it was pretty good.

you wound me sir
I am deeply wounded. Woah to know the pain that I know feel. Of a friendship, so merry and sunny in its youth now dark and tortured with the bitter taint of betrayal. Truly, I know understand how Laocoan felt when he uttered his dire last words to his fellow Trojans only to be consumed by a dread sea monster due to the hatred of a god.

A BJ for Angelina?
I knew she was an odd bird but I didn’t think she had both parts there.
I kid. I’d also like sexual favors from someone like Christian Bale, but yeah. Let’s keep on wishing for stuff.

I posted this just as a sort of "hey it's my dream but it won't happen" thing
I’m sure someone already said this, but shit…. I didn’t even REALIZE what a good case Lincecum actually DOES have for the CY.
Leads League in ERA
Leads League in K -—- by a LOT actually.
Would just about lead league in W if he had a team that scored runs.
(that’s a triple crown folks)
I’m gonna say that in the last 5 starts he has, if he can get within a victory or two of Webb, that he really should be the Cy.
Like, say… Webb flounders a bit, gets to a final record of 21-7 and sees the ERA climb a tiny bit, while Lincecum is lights out and goes 4-0 in the final 5 starts while the ERA just drops.
That’d leave us with a 21-7, ~3.00 ERA, ~180K Webb, vs. a 19-3, ~2.35 ERA, ~245 K Lincecum. Lincecum’d have my vote for sure.
Allow me to present Bartolo Colon
AKA Win 20 Games and the Cy Young is yours.
I rest my case.

once you hit that 20-mark it's pretty much yours
unless the other guy hits 20+ as well. they’ll also look at if your team made the playoffs, because of course, you cannot be a valuable player if your team sucks. I would say those are the two biggest determinates of the Cy Young. ERA plays in there too, but I think wins will trump it.
