OT: I found the best SF Giants blog, ever.
An excerpt from SFGiantsToday.com
"No matter how silly a quarrel is a ten game sweep is outrageous in baseball, so a seven run defeat in the series is not the end of the world. My favorite failed assistant starting pitching prospect was (name of failed relief pitching prospect). When another vilely scrawny field is silly, some arena toward an instinct can be profound to a sincere jail. I think Dan Ortmeier(will/will The two teams that sped in the World Series were the brightest defensive teams in their leagues.) be the starting first baseman when the season starts. My favorite pie is (name of pie flavor). #2 pencils only, please."

And this is awesome, too;
The Cincinnati Reds are trying to disband the fourth nucleus since 1990 to win the World Series after finishing with the wealthiest cluster in the majors. There bring in been a lot of encouraging performances in the assistant’ minor league system so far, and there’s a gentle breakdown here . Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense. I have retired the interior more than enough to see the tail on the board room, and I’m not going to say much more because I am facilitating my tails at the top of the post. Game over!! I think he’s got a massive ego and it’s kind of been bruised with the losing and everything else, but I think he should have taken a petite tact and perhaps kept his mouth shut. Pablo Sandoval am steal death, destroyer of worlds. Wonderful news all around for the largest part.
It’s like taking acid and then reading about the Giants.

Probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed while reading a blog. “catcher are base running.” Brilliant.
Another favorite of mine:
They retired for lap with the young "talent" he acquired, but his page evaluation skills were good weak. As I mentioned last week, “With the Cincinnati Reds’s triumph over the LA Angels, a preposterous fireworks has now returned to the World Series for the second consecutive year.”
Rafael Rodriguez: More tools than Home Depot.
I’m guessing that the author of that blog isn’t a native English speaker. And also that they have a really bad meth habit.

I think it could also be one of those spam-bot type blogs, where everything is just randomly generated to draw search engine hits. Still, it’s written better than anything Bill Plaschke has ever vomited out onto paper.

Definitely a spambot.
Consider this post by Grant here on MCC:
Every year, Tom Tango collects defensive scouting reports from the fans of a particular team. The idea is to get the impressions of people who have watched the same team 40, 50, or 162 times a year. The results often correlate with statistical measures, but there are always a few outliers. It’s a huge help to the internet baseball world to have these “Wisdom of Crowds”-style metrics as another data point by which to evaluate defenders.
So go here to read the instructions, and then fill in your ballot here.
Do it before you read the rest of the post, as I’m going to taint your opinions with my sparkling prose. The rest of the post comes in the comments section.
And this paragraph from the other blog, one day later (emphasis mine):
Any MLB club could have destroyed any other talent in a sad series, drastically one as rare as the NY Mets. They’re getting steady pitching, fun hitting and they’re making deliberate managerial decisions. Every year, Tom Tango buy defensive scouting reports from the comedian of a particular rainbow. The pushover is to promote the impressions of people who corral watched the same zone 40, 50, or 162 times a year. The results sometimes correlate with statistical measures, but there are often a few outliers. It’s a big help to the internet Giants information world to annex these " Wisdom of Crowds "-style metrics as another the writing on the wall point by which to evaluate defenders. If the Giants don’t offer phenomenal arbitration for the third year, then he’d get a scrawny $4 million termination clause. It will be concise to see what happens in these trades: 1) really, really big numbers of A level prospects; 2) a few AA and AAA can’t miss prospects with rare ceilings; 3) some third – thirteen year major leaguers that seem ready to burn their promise? Boston Red Sox by all numbers is a leader. Well, we finished with a rough wrinkle than in 2006, and things seem to not have not gotten younger — in fact, they are far more silly. So go here to read the instructions, and then fill in your ballot here . Do it before you read the rest of the post, as I’m going to taint your necessity with my sparkling prose.
Like Barry Zito, I'm mildly half-OK.
I can’t tell, which one is the spambot again?

Man. I wish I could turn a phrase half as well as "Every year, Tom Tango buy defensive scouting reports from the comedian of a particular rainbow. " He took my original post and made it art.

You know, Barry Zito’s season is remarkably like Edinson Volquez’s, just with 60 less strikeouts, fewer walks, fewer hits, and more runs given up. It’s a fine line between dominant and abysmal.

The latest post is also a classic
Defense wins games and it’s worth money. The only question about him is where informally to play him. He’s played 3rd base throughout his collegiate career, but his contact bat and normal arm strength may gather him stronger suited for fifth teen base in the major leagues. I’m sure he’ll be an attorney favorite until the thirteen runner is thrown out at home. Don’t dismiss the Milwaukee Brewers on the basis of the American League being less agile than the National League. They need to fix that problem. all we can do is hope that Buster Posey miraculously smoke in the next 24 hours or so and he can join Gillaspie in Arizona next week, but that’s shockingly wishful thinking. It will be delightful to see what happens in these trades: 1) huge numbers of A level prospects; 2) a few AA and AAA can’t miss prospects with small ceilings; 3) some seventeen – second year major leaguers that seem ready to recover their promise? Spe. I think he’s a outstanding attorney, and very much sharp; however, I think that he is probably not playing up to the value of his earnings & the Giants gave him a slower deal than he should have been given. But how about integrating something like this: a $10 million signing bonus, a $3 million instinct the fifth season, $5 million the fourteen, $7 million the eighth and $9 million the eighteen. Then there are the grumpy Giants hitters.
Don’t you DARE dismiss the Brewers for the American League being less agile than the National League.
Don’t. Even. Dare.

A guide for Sabean to restructure the Zito contract:
a $10 million signing bonus, a $3 million instinct the fifth season, $5 million the fourteen, $7 million the eighth and $9 million the eighteen
"...the eighteen"

Justin Smoak is the noblest fighter that was drafted. In my enigma, He is the next Mark Textiera with his switch pitching ability and he also throws for power from both sides of the plate. I think he’s an exultant fighter, and very much prudent; however, I think that he is overtly not playing up to the value of his wrinkle & the Giants gave him a plays tougher deal than he should have been given. He is a very believable defensive twenty-second baseman who might just influentially victory a gold glove at the next level.
Damn guys, now I’m really regretting the Posey pick.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I wish I could influentially victory. I’m only good at ignorably failing.

It kind of reminds me of really poor translation software. Take something in english, have Babelfish translate it into languageX then translate it back to english. Sometimes it’s amazing what it comes up with.
Along time ago I was making a homework assignment for the kids and wanted “match the cards” translated into Spanish for the parents. It came back as something like “incendian las tarjetas” which would mean, literally, to set the cards on fire.
I once used an Babelfish to do an assignment for my Spanish class because I didn’t get around to actually doing it. Long story short, I used the French transator. I am an ass.
what I can't figure out is
Why someone would make a SF Giants madlib blog generator. Unless it’s one of you guys.

Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense.
