it’s freezing here in New York today, but at least it’s not raining. Good thing they made it a night game though, so it will be even colder and the rain will finally get here.

So I’m continuing my fascination with how the other SBN blogs view us. The results:
- True Blue LA & Purple Row hate us, of course, although some PR people think we’re funny
- Every now and then someone on AZSnakepit has something bad to say, but Dbacksskins defends us.
- Mixed opinions on Athletics Nation, though I saw more appreciators than detractors.
- Gaslamp Ball doesn’t seem to have mentioned us since 2007.
- Most of the NL blogs outside the NL West that I checked seem to hardly know we exist. Which is fine because I hardly know they exist.
- Lookout Landing doesn’t mention us nearly as often as we mention them, but they seem to like us, aside from a really weird comment from July about how we want to lynch Juan Uribe. Wait, maybe it was after the no hitter?
A couple of the anti-MCC comments were pretty funny in a WTF sort of way. There was one where someone had said a pitcher was good because of wins and ERA. Someone responded, “If you’re going to go with that winning percentage crap, you might as well post on McCovey Chronicles.” Uh….
Also, Poseidan’s Fist, one of the mods from Purple Row, was repeatedly trashing us on True Blue LA. I was a bit surprised by that, because I remember him posting here and having reasonable interactions with him (as opposed to a lot of the PR trolls). I looked him up, and at least in the most recent comments, we were totally nice to him! Whatever.
At thus concludes jcb9’s rundown of the state of McCovey Chronicles foreign relations.

From the NY Times
of course, they neglect to mention that it’s EST…
As of 2:45 P.M., Major League Baseball said it was still hopeful of starting tonight’s Yankees-Angels game on time. Although rain is in the forecast for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, Pat Courtney, a spokesman for baseball, said the latest forecasts showed that the rain would be light. Of course, that forecast could change.

After living in Manhattan, I totally understand the propensity of some New Yorkers to think that the world ends with the Bronx. It really does feel like everything in the world is at your fingertips there.
New Yorkers are generally quite friendly, though. Just brusque because there’s so little personal space anywhere, so you have to find your own private headspace within a crowd.

The difference, though, is that in Manhattan, you can go weeks or months without leaving your neighborhood, let alone the island of Manhattan, let alone NYC, without feeling like you’re missing out on anything, because you can probably find anything you can think of within a five-block radius (except for decent Mexican food and hills – actually, Manhattan used to have hills, but that’s another story). That’s not true in a place like Tennessee – it’s not even true in other big American cities like Chicago or LA.

Nah
You are making an assumption that people all want the same things. I am sure people go months without leaving Nashville and never feel like they are missing anything.

You are both right.
New York City, especially Manhattan, has a far greater variety of just about anything under the sun than just about anywhere else in the world (with the aforementioned exception of decent Mexican food). It also has an everloving shit-ton of people, and a resulting dearth of peace, quiet, and natural beauty. Central Park is wonderful but ultimately not that large.

Well, yes, I’m probably making assumptions. But the sheer density of Manhattan is something that’s unmatched anywhere else in the country, really. And there is a certain type of parochialism among some New Yorkers that I haven’t really seen anywhere else in the country. I don’t think these two things are unrelated.

Buck and McCarver’s analysis is moronic but Jeter has been better in about every respect this season
STATS PROVE THAT JETER IS THE GREATEST EVER
SUCK IT, NERDS
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

He can be both really good and overrated.
You really disagree that Jeter is overrated? I mean, yeah, he’s stepped it up this year (I heard something about physical therapy on his hip improving his range), and yeah, he’s really good…
but he’s REEEEEEEEEEEALLY highly rated.

Just another day at the office
I attended the Legends of Vintage Base Ball Showdown today, an event put on by the California Vintage Base Ball Federation to raise money for the Jr. Giants and a few other charities. The Santa Clara County Stogies, a team in the CVBBF, opposed a team of Legends from MLB in a turn-back-the-clock game to 1886; rules, uniforms, and equipment of the day. It was the most fun ever.
I also interviewed Gaylord Perry, Vince Coleman, and Rollie Fingers. There will be a story up on SF Dugout.

i don’t get it. They changed the balk rule after that season to make it harder for the pitchers, and the stolen base counts were never the same. Maybe its just a coincidence that the HR became way more important and managers didn’t want their speed guys getting thrown out with a power guy at the plate.
No one here gets out alive.
