Ignorant East Coaster with a question
Do a lot of people swim in the Pacific?
My only time to the west coast I had to rescue my girlfriend at the time from drowning in Seaside, OR. She went down to “the beach” and the next thing she knew a wave came up to her shoulders and down she went….
I have swam in ME, NH, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, NC, SC and FL….
My one experience with swimming on the West coast was a lot different from my east coast experiences…It seemed like the Pacific was a lot rougher and colder….Was this an isolated incident of just the way it is?

I never have. That shit is cold.

Well, large ocean is large.
I’ve swum in Thailand, Mexico, Australia and Hawaii. But I assume you’re asking about the West Coast. I’ve never gone in for a dip anywhere north of Santa Barbara. Yeah it’s cold, plus there are riptides and rocks and whales and shit.
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
Also: sharks. Around the Bay Area, there’s this “red triangle” where there’s an unusually high concentration of sharks.

Wasn’t there a controversy with the Yankees in previous years where there was a “rain out” and there wasn’t any rain at all?

more than once the Yankees have used the prediction of rain to call a game early when the weather wasn’t bad enough to call a game. They’ve done it in the past to rest their bullpen or avoid an unfavorable pitching matchup. I think playoff games are in the hands of the commissioner though.

Jesus. When will people understand that if you put anyone into the cleanup spot that he’ll get a ton of RBI chances and therefor drive in a bunch of guys?!?

with the Giants its more like a half or quarter ton of rbi chances, but the point still stands.

ok upon further review, this writer is horrible. I only read one paragraph and decided all credibility is gone based on the number of errors he made:
Though San Francisco has already showed it won’t stand pat in regards to its offense by deciding not to bring back Carney Lansford. It’s hard to blame Lansford though. What hitting couch wouldn’t have trouble with the Giants’ lineup? As Lansford stated, a team can get by with one or two free swingers, but not a team full of them. And that’s exactly what the Giants had.

But don't hate, commemorate!
On this night, seven years ago, we were one game away…

San Francisco took a 16–4 blowout win in a game in which the Angels never led. The most well-known moment in this game occurred when Giants first baseman J.T. Snow scored off a Kenny Lofton triple. Three-year-old batboy Darren Baker, son of Giants manager Dusty Baker, ran to home plate to collect Lofton’s bat before the play was completed and was quickly lifted by the jacket by Snow as he crossed the plate, with David Bell close on his heels. Had Snow not acted quickly, Darren could have been seriously injured.

That was a very cool moment.

MLB should take the attitude that we’ve got the best fuckin’ sport, especially post-season, and we’re going to play and show our games in a way that shows off the game the best way possible, and in a way that serves our fans the best.
That would mean starting the post season on Oct. 1st, day’s off for travel only, a mix of day and night games, and always schedule games on Fri, Sat, and Sunday.
well, it was really gary thomasson--the great, giant, fan
Language of the McCoven--TWSS!, Meh!, STFD!, Bork!, Fail!, STFD! STFD! STFD!
based on ratings, football is the “best fuckin’ sport.” It will be interesting to see the NY ratings with the Yankees’ game tonight up against the Giants-Cardinals in the Meadowlands. If the baseball game was a regular season game the football game would blow it away. An important playoff game will be interesting though.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
their ratings are not my concern, and any marketing plan that places the product in a secondary position will never achieve market leadership; why is MLB settling for that?

Huh
Looking at True Blue LA, apparently Bill James has Randy Wolf projected as having a 2.87 ERA next year. Considering he’s never had an ERA better than 3.20, and he’s turning 34 next season, that seems slightly unrealistic.

And speaking of other SBN sites
Looking at Lookout Landing, apparently Mark McGwire may be the new hitting coach for the Cardinals.

McGwire can show Pujols how to inject…………..

The speculation is that McGwire will make it more likely that Holliday will re-sign. I guess BIg Mac worked with Holliday when he was in Oakland.
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
The club remains extremely sensitive to reaction about McGwire’s return. After setting the single-season home run record by hitting 70 in 1998, McGwire became the face of an ongoing controversy surrounding the prevalance of performance-enhancing drugs in the game. The club offered him a spot as a guest hitting instructor during 2007 spring training, an invite McGwire briefly entertained before rejecting due to a family issue.
McGwire has operated a de facto off-season hitting camp in Orange County for a number of major-league hitters in recent years. Current Cardinal outfielders Skip Schumaker and Matt Holliday along with recently-traded outfielder Chris Duncan are among the campers. Daric Barton, Bobby Crosby and Garrett Atkins also have attended.

I like this idea from John Shea
With Mariners catcher Kenji Johjima returning to Japan and no other catcher with significant experience on the 40-man roster, Bengie Molina suddenly is a candidate to return to the AL West.

hmmm, listen to Joe Buck and watch the ALCS???? Orrrr watch SNF and hope the Cardinals get sacked in NY
good point, and or just flip flop, and start some random convos here to throw people off from watching the game
OT Fun Fact
With his 5 receptions in the game vs. the Texans, Michael Crabtree has caught more passes than Darrius Heyward-Bey, who has 4 after catching two vs. the Jets.

Wagner Mateo came all the way from the Dominican Republic to Florida this past week to show major league scouts he’s not damaged goods and that he was worth the $3.1 million bonus he almost got from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Mission accomplished.
Mateo, 16, won the first Bo Jackson 5-Tool Championship Saturday night at Roger Dean Stadium with an impressive display of hitting, fielding, throwing, running and hitting with power against some of the top amateur talent in the world.
Mateo, who does not speak English, was all smiles as he posed with Jackson after the event and received his handsome award.

Dude, thing is, it’s week 7, there’s 9 weeks left in the season, i’m still excited to see what’s gonna happen. With Smith you have a QB that’s mobile, can make throws on the run, a stronger arm, and now with a bunch of confidence. Even if they lose next week, it still might be good enough to make a run at the division
What makes you think Smith is any different than what he used to be? Because he took advantage of a soft defense that was just trying to protect a 21-point lead?
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
Bob Howry's #1 (and only) fan!!!
The Merkin Valdez of McCovey Chronicles!!!!!!
Fact is dude, is he any worse than what Hill has been for the past year or so? All Hill is is a game manager, and possession QB who hardly turns the ball over. What you get with Smith is someone who throws the ball downfield and has at least a respectable arm compared to what Hill had. I’m not knocking Hill at all, i’m just saying Smith has better tools than Hill
Of course he’s not worse than Hill. But how does that mean he’s good or can lead a team to the playoffs? He’s not good. He’s just not as bad as Shaun Hill.

ALl i’m saying is that, let’s see what he can do for the rest of the season. Neither of us know he can lead a team to the playoffs, anything can happen in the NFL.
I’m just perplexed by the eternal pessimism when it comes to the Giants and the eternal optimism when it comes to the Niners.

Well you didn’t say this 49er team… in fact you said “eternal optimism” so i assumed this was a long standing gripe. Either way, it’s easier for a team with clear flaws to make the playoffs in the NFL than it is in the MLB.
Rafael Rodriguez: #8 on our list, tearing up Scottsdale, and has been alive long enough to see the Warriors make the playoffs once.
I figure…it’s a wait and see. Maybe Smith has learned a thing or two since last season. I don’t know.
Other teams have 6 weeks worth of Shaun Hill game film to analyze and plan off of, they weren’t expecting Smith. We’ll see what happens when teams get a handle on what Smith can do and comeup with a game plan for him.
With Hill, you get what you get – there’s no other trick he can pull out of his hat, once you scheme for him you’re done.
Yep, it is a wait and see, you’re right, the only thing i have a problem with however is that shouldn’t they have already had a tape on Smith regardless? He might have changed since 2007 but at the same time they should have tape on him nonetheless.
But here’s what gets me, whenever we talk about the giants or the niners or somebody doing well, we always come back with the “oh once they get tape on him”, why don’t we say that about other QBs in the league, or other pitchers in the league. For example, let’s just say last year with Joe Flacco or Matt Ryan, teams had tape on them and they still went out and performed. What i’m saying is that you can say that about any player in baseball for pitching or for a QB or anybody. I may be just ranting about something that makes no sense, but i think what you’re saying is right, let’s see what happens, and the good QBs fight through it, and Hill did aight with it.
The 49ers are playing the Colts next week. Manning will go for 320 yards and 3 TDs.

Always the freaking case, and i just want to see the defense with Randolph and Biedrins, Curry’s not terrible, but ellis is lacking somewhat, and Jack is aight
So they don't have defense.
But they’ve got more offense than anything the 49ers have had shown since this.

If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.

I think the opposite, actually. Both NLCS and ALCS ratings were better in Philly than LA.

Huh. Sorry, I read Natto’s post wrong. You’re right, FOX would have loved Dodgers-Yankees.

Still, Phillies-Yankees > Phillies-Rays.

Yeah
They made a big deal about it during the NBA Playoffs since the studio is right next to the Staples Center.

Funny thing is, ESPN.com has three local sites: Boston, Dallas and Chicago. No New York or Los Angeles.
