That's a palindrome too.  Trust me.  DON'T LOOK AT IT CLOSELY.  But trust me.

I guess this won't really jinx anything if I post this now.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

NOTE:

Today isn’t short rest. It’s normal rest. The rotation was just fuggled with, switching Sanchez and Tim but since there was an off day he had his normal 4 day rest.

Hmmm I thought today was his scheduled day to pitch and then he was going to pitch on short rest for the last one

They skipped Sanchez.

Where’s your proof that there’s a correlation between throwing way too many pitches in your rookie year and your arm falling off next year?

by paboperfecto on Sep 23, 2008 9:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Okay, technically not rookie year, first full year.

When you see his arm flopping around on the mound next spring training like a dead fish, I hope you’ll be ready to eat crow.

Probably not. I was trying to subtly mock the “there’s no PROOF that pitch counts lead to injury” crowd. I’m actually in full agreement with you.

Even if there’s a 10% chance that too many stressful pitches too early will ruin Timmy’s career that’s too high a percentage for such catastrophic results. That being said I truly, truly hop that Timmy is the same or better next year.

Well, the image of the arm flopping around like a dead fish wasn’t entirely serious either. :)

I Misched most of the game. Had to run my brother back home to Sacramento. The radio reception on the car stereo wasn’t the best on the way back. Kinda glad I Misched the BS. :/

It’s not like it’s the WHOLE season, only 6 or so hours a day include pre/post game, newspaper articles and blogs. That leaves you 18 hours each day not Giants related not even counting off days!

by paboperfecto on Sep 23, 2008 9:15 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

we go through such extreme mood swings with this team. One day it’s, “This is the best bad team ever!” and then the next it’s “OH GOD WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER.”
