Posey to go to San Jose for playoffs

Printfrom Schulman's notes on sfgate:
"Briefly: Talk about fast-tracking a guy. First-round draft pick Buster Posey will be promoted to Class A San Jose for the California League playoffs this weekend. It will be his third team in a week. He hit .385 in 26 at-bats in the Arizona Rookie League, then went 3-for-11 with two RBIs after his promotion to Salem-Keizer, Ore., in the rookie-level Northwest League. Fans can see Posey and San Jose play at 6 p.m. Saturday at Municipal Stadium."
This should be interesting.

It's just the playoffs. Not too surprising really.
Is Alderson starting that game? If so I need to buy tickets…
Posey/Alderson
Alderson is starting – is this a good idea to work with a new catcher or do you think he will DH?
He's not in the lineup for S-K tonight, so this makes sense

You can get through it!
Sit back, relax, and with patience, you’ll be able to get through the movie. Oh, and good luck with the whole baby thing.
You better hope that your new baby is as cute as your old baby, because I’m ready to judge.

I think it all depends on your taste in horror films. It wasn’t outstanding by any means, but I still really enjoyed it.
Proud adoptive parent of Tim Alderson.
I watched it last night, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It gets a little silly in places and the dialogue is hit and miss, but for the most part it’s really good.

GREAT film

Just saw that last night
It alternated between crappy, weird, and awesome. Luckily, there was a decent amount of awesome, and a comparably small amount of crappy.

I can't figure out more than 10 seconds of that movie

It’s kind of a horrible DVD though. Stop trying to convince me you’re showing me “concert footage” when he switches between wearing a suit and wearing a t-shirt every other shot!
My roommate and I are thinking of watching Wonder Boys tomorrow.

Tentatively adopting Dan Ortmeier. And Boom Goes the Dynamite.
Agreed.
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen about writing/writers.

Some Alvin and the Chipmunks t.v. movie
It has them traveling around the world against the Chippettes. I don’t know what it’s called.
My kids really like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
It's in my 360 right now
I’ve logged an embarrassing amount of time playing this game.

It’s either a yoga dvd or a frasier one – we just found season 8 at Dimple [used media joint here in town].
Speaking of watching tv there’s a new Simon’s Cat – always good for a laugh around here anyways.
I loves me the Dimple!
I live next to the one on Arden.
Travis Denker can hit a little. That's why I drive his bus.
Whoa! Say, do we live in a pretty crappy neighborhood or what?
Travis Denker can hit a little. That's why I drive his bus.
I’ve lived around this area [first off of Northrup, then off of Hurley, now off Fulton] since ‘95, and I’ll tell ya, the neighborhood isn’t getting any better!
We should start planning our World Series potluck event; then again… by 2012 we hope to be back in the bay area!
Unless of course the world comes to a screeching halt as per the Mayan calendar.
Don’t tell anyone, but I actually like Sacramento better than the bay area.
Unless a job makes me, I’m never moving back there.
We should grab a pint at Sacramento brewing company and watch a game sometime.

We may very well live in the same apartment complex. I’m off of fulton as well.

Just got done with Shine a Light
(Skip it — is it possible for Marty to make a concert or musician film that isn’t all about Marty? The guy doesn’t know thing one about music, get the hell out of the film!). Next Netflix I think is Persepolis.
But in between Netflix selections, there’s usually always something from the Buffy Slayer Collection in there.

Roger, are you a Firefly fan as well?

If Joss did it
I’m probably a fan. Nashing my teeth waiting for Dollhouse to come on in January. In the meantime, I have bide my time by enjoying Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along — a must!
Get the hell out the way Bengie, Pablito's hit the show!
Joss did it!
I, too, have high hopes for Dollhouse. Strangely, I couldn’t get into Buffy. But Firefly was a well-cast masterpiece. Nathan Fillion absolutely WAS his character, and his dialogue was underplayed genius. You absolutely must run to the store and get the DVD’s. I’d send you mine, but they’re not allowed to leave the house. : )

Oh, I was just being rhetorical
I have the Firefly DVD box set, too. Nathan’s a great actor. You want to see something interesting, watch the episodes from the final Buffy season with Nathan playing the demented, violently misogynistic Preacher, The character’s completely the inverse of his Firefly character, and yet his line readings and general swagger are quite similar — just a slightly different spin that makes them chilling and revolting rather than fun and heroic. He’s an old friend of Joss, so I guess he just understands how to sling that lingo. He’s also a featured player in Dr. Horrible which is only available from ITunes and is well worth the four bucks.
Get the hell out the way Bengie, Pablito's hit the show!
None other than
Arrested Development, Season 2. While Season 3 was over the top with all of the random cameos, it’s always been my opinion that Season 2 had the best stories. What a twisted show.

Return of the Jedi
Soon to watch it with my kids for the first time.
Like Barry Zito, I'm mildly half-OK.
DVD Player = Laptop
So in there right now was the last CD I ripped, The Beatles anthology 3.
Last movie…I think I watched Seinfeld.

However, I just got Disc 3 of Band of Brothers from Netflix. I’m digging that show a whole bunch.

i love that series
and disk 3 is the best. some fairly heavy shit.
the same production crew is releasing a similar series entitled “the Pacific” for next year.
imo, band of brother is as good as TV gets.

Not on DVD, but on DVR waiting to be watched
“Edward Scissorhands” Mrs Goofus ever saw and I love anything by Tim Burton (especially with Danny Elfman’s score)
“Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” (Johnny Depp version) – We started watching it the other day and both fell asleep on the coach. A little too much “camera effects simulating drug trip” for my taste.
Zooperstars, they quack me up!
drug drip
not so simulated afterall?

falling asleep on the coach
I’m hoping it was Tim Flannery, and not Carney Lansford. No way it was Bochy – his head would be too uncomfortable.

Fear and Loathing = much more than just simulated drug trip
At least, I think so. It’s one of my favorite movies. Scene with Flea in the bathroom = INCREDIBLE.
¿Julio is tourist in San Francisco? Harper's Bizarre!
Posey looked overmatched early...
but did get a hit in the 8th with 2 on/nobody out as part of the SJG’s 4-run rally.
Wasn’t exactly a frozen rope—he swung late and sent one the other way; if the Stockton 1B hadn’t been playing toward the line it’s an out and maybe a DP.
We sat near the family of one of the “regular” catchers who got deactivated for the playoffs when Posey got called up. Felt kind of bad for them and him, but that’s the breaks.
