CC and the Fodgers

PrintCC is coming to the west coast and wants to play here. Would it be worth it to sign him just to keep him from any other team in the West? Trading Sanchy or Cainer(he sucks) could get a nice bat in return, so would it be logical to block especially the Fodgers or Slippery Snakes from getting him? Cainer could get somebody like Fielder back(tho I like El Toro switching between 1B and 3B and Catching. Sanchez could get someone like Hardy back which would fill a hole as well. Whaddya think?

I have this cranberry mustard that is really freaking good. The tart flavors of the berries and the mustard work so well together. I use it to make a mustard pan sauce for chicken that’s om nom nom.

I’m addicted to Tabasco, too. My dad put it on everything when I was a kid and I learned to love it. It’s best on scrambled eggs or pizza.

so many posts have been hi-jacked lately they’re running out of good hi-jacks! Is it alarming to anyone else with an incredibly amazing sense of humor that the jokes and running gags get re-used and abused so much they need to enter a 12 step program? just saying….a little originality would be nice guys

First of all, Cain doesn’t suck.
Second of all, the Giants have plenty of good young up and coming pitchers who cost next to nothing (in MLB terms) in their minors.
And lastly, these CC talks are annoying.

So I'm curious
Was this joke too subtle or just too unfunny/not interesting enough to care about? Or both?

Okay
Because I was not sure whether I should have elaborated more or not. I am still trying to learn this thing you humans call…humor.

The real trick is this:
1) Figure out your hit to miss rate on jokes. For example, mine is somewhere around 20%.
2) Figure out how many jokes a day you want to be hits. For example, I try to go for 10-15 in a given day.
3) Based on those figures, figure out how many jokes you have to tell to reach your quota. For example, I generally have to make 50-75 jokes in a given day to get 10-15 decent ones.
Follow these three patented steps, and you’re sure to be recognized as a comic genius in no time.

The angels have been rumoured to be interested, and there has been some
limited talk on HH about him. But the Tex trade really changed the perspective. Tex+CC+Frankie+Lackey extension would clearly be a financial imposibillity. Thats a possible 35 Million or so extra dollars on the salary right there. Arte Moreno has said that the angels would not increase payroll to yankee-redsox levels. Although i think the angels will negotiate, CC will most likely nor wind up on the angels this offseason
Exceeding expectations is less a matter of luck than possession of certain assets.
If I'm CC
which I ain’t
(Which is why I’d be a Giant like that , man!)
I’m playing for a pro team. A contendah. In the sun.

Imagine a rotation of CC, Webb, Haren, Owings, & Johnson/Petit. Yikes.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.
by UnleashTheGore on Sep 9, 2008 8:16 AM PDT up reply actions
Maybe I haven’t kept up with the trade because, well, it’s the D-Backs and I don’t care…but wasn’t Owings rumored to be one of the PTBNL in the Dunn deal? Has the trade been consummated yet and he wasn’t involved?
And Johnson has to retire at some point. He turns 45 tomorrow.
CC/Webb/Haren would be pretty legit, though.
Yup,
Owens is the PTBNL in the Dunn deal. But we’d still be dealing with a strong top-of-the-rotation if the Snakes got CC.
It’s a minority opinion around here, but the Giants should at least dip their toes in the water on this one for any number of reasons.
Meet my three little friends: Timmy, Dirty, and Cain
Bah
That’s what I get for not being informed. As far as Johnson goes, that’s what I thought too but he’s been pitching very well the last 1/2 of this season. He’d be a GREAT #4 or 5 pitcher. Even Timmy/Cain/Sanch/Zito pales in comparison to that rotation.

Pitching very well?
You should have seen his Labor(ious) Day outing against the Cards; Vic Jr and I did.
What would YOU do to a constant 92 mph fastball up in the zone?
Exactly. He was out by the fifth , down 5 – 1. Lucky not to get the loss , though – the Blanks rallied , also a rarity lately. Heh heh.

that most of US would flail away a second too late on a 92 mile per hour fastball up in the zone.

Also greatest condiment
My vote goes to vinegar. Malt vinegar for fish n chips, balsamic for bread, it’s all good.

Balsamic is also really versatile. I saw a dude make a sweet caramel sauce with balsamic on Food Network last week and it intrigued me.

I make a panacotta with a basamic/strawberry syrup that’s awesome. Basically you let a bunch of strawberrys drown in balasmic for a couple of days, then pour over just about anyting.
Damn that sounds so good.
