Posey to go to San Jose for playoffs

Tiny by joe t on

from 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?

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
