Dodger (and Trade Deadline) Hate

Back at the trade deadline, I wrote the following:
Forget Freddy Sanchez. I don't have a problem with average-dependent players, per se, but this one is hurt. We'll give up a top prospect, but we'll only get 107 at-bats of nothingness.Forget Ryan Garko. He'll slump, and then he'll be buried by a manager who manages like he's the lead in Memento. If Garko doesn't make Bochy tattoo his name within 100 at-bats, forget it.
- Tattoo #1: Start Randy Winn. He hit home runs in 2005.
- Polaroid #1: Buster Posey. (other side) Don't believe his lies.
Forget Matt Holliday. He'll go absolutely nuts for the team that acquires him, hitting like a latter-day Frank Robinson, but then he'll try to catch a ball with his crotch in the playoffs. That will cost his team the game and, most likely, the series.
No, the answer is Ronnie Belliard. Forget that he's only hitting .246/.296/.374 for Washington. He's going to get crazy-hot. And then he'll get clutch hits in the playoffs. And he's cheap. Seeing as we're going to give up Tim Alderson no matter what, I suggest we give him up for Belliard and Nick Johnson, who will stay healthy for the last two months and put up a .477 on-base percentage.
And everyone here freaked out. You all screamed up and down that we couldn't give up Alderson for Belliard and Johnson. Well, well, well. Now who looks like a genius? ME. So cram it, jerks.
I'd provide a link to that post, but I'm late on my copy-and-paste bill, so that's not working, and I've got this other thing going on, and work, so yeah.
One silver lining is that maybe the Giants will only offer a $125M contract to Matt Holliday instead of a $126M contract now. So we have that going for us. Which is nice.
I think that one reason teams like the Indians and Blue Jays are entertaining offers for players like Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay a year before free agency is that teams are terrified of trading for a rental who flops in the two months after the deadline. If Lee got lit up in a lot of his starts, the Phillies could say, well, at least there's next year. Sanchez was a total dud, but it sounds like the Giants are committed to him next season, even if that means exercising his frabjillion-dollar option.
I also think that this season will completely break me of deadline rosterbation. The answer was Ronnie Belliard. The Dodgers traded for Ronnie Belliard, and that's why they won the division. That's why they get to host the Cardinals. That's why the Dodgers are a win away from the NLCS. Ronnie Belliard.
Dammit. Just, dammit.
Get it together, Cardinals.

That’s the problem with trade trade deadline trades, they’ll ultimately be judged on ridiculously small sample sizes and so you can make the best trade possible and it can be a waste of time or make the most stupid trade possible and it have a huge impact. I’m sure that’s one of the reasons that Sabean traded for Garko/Sanchez because both are under contract for next year and beyond. It’s also why judging it’s ultimately pointless to judge a trade at this stage, as it’s much more useful to judge it at the time it was made or after the fact.

Speaking of gay, I thought Brandon Routh was really funny in Zack and Miri Make a Porno (I saw it last night, so it’s fresh).
I actually enjoyed that movie more than I thought I would. It had some problems, and it’s easy to get really sick of :: significant look signifying that Zack and Miri love each other :: but overall, it was funny.

I think Zack and Miri was the best I’ve ever seen her act. I’m not a big fan because (hot though she is), she’s felt very one-note to me in almost everything she’s done. She was still close to that note in Z&M, but had the occasional very nice moment both comedic and acting that I don’t generally expect from her.
In fact, that entire cast is made up of people who I find to be pretty one-note in their careers. And many of them did rather well to play at least slightly off that note from time to time.
Not Randall, though. But that’s okay, because I like Randall the way he is.

This happens to me a lot on the playoffs:
- Giants don’t make the playoffs. I choose a couple of teams to kinda root for.
- Those teams get knocked out in the first round. I choose some remaining teams to kinda not root against.
- Those teams get knocked out too. World series ends up between a team I hate and a team I could care less about. I stop paying attention.

Reminds me a little of Winn coming to the Giants...
Sabean happened to stumble into a nice little trade when he picked up Winn from the Mariners for the last two months of 2005, and watched Winn go on a massive hot streak. Naturally, Sabean failed to see Winn’s 2-month performance as the fluke that it was and overpaid to keep him on for three more years, none of which have been much more than just OK.
So, the problem, Grant, with your trade-deadline proposal of bringing Belliard to the Giants, is that had Belliard (and not Sanchez) actually come to the Giants instead of the Dodgers, and had he actually put up the kind of numbers he did for us instead of LA, Brian Sabean would’ve signed him to a 5-year $75 million deal. THAT’S why I argued against it in my response to your post back then.

Sabean gets hard ons for players
and goes after them even years later.
There were constant rumors of picking up Winn back when he was with the Rays. Even though he was older, to Sabes mind, I’m sure he thought that he was getting the same guy from several years before.

And I’ll chime in with Posnanski and well, I guess everybody, and complain about the broadcasting. Hearing Dick Stockton call a game shoots me back to the 1980s when I followed the NBA. He’s one of those general purpose sportscasters who’s been around forever but he says enough slightly off-kilter things (e.g., “grand slam homerun”) to remind that baseball isn’t his usual gig. I actually prefer Chip Caray, and even typing that hurts my soul.

Some of it is actually not far from the truth
Many of the Mccoven thought it likely that the Freddie trade could very possibly work out like that. And, while I doubt anyone could foresee Bochy benching Garko, I know many here didn’t really expect him to bring anything more than what the Giants already had in Ishikawa.
On the other hand: there probably are organizational factors that that help players succeed when they go to the Dodgers (Torre for one) and fail when they go to the Giants (entire management ).

I was listening to ESPN driving home and they said the ball hit him in the stomach.

To quote Vin Scully
“It hit him right in the groin! I hope he was wearing his cup, it landed right in front of him. Talk about a painful error.”

Obviously shopped
Unless the scoreboard operator can see far enough into the future to post the result of a play as it is taking place.

So when is the final announcement about the extensions for the the dynamic dumbasses coming? I want to stop clinging to the hope that Bowtie has changed his mind and fired them.

I was catching up on the Tonight Show on Hulu, and Jason Bateman had to leave after his interview so he could watch the Dodger game.

I remember back in the early 1990’s I saw Danny Glover just walking around Candlestick like he was just a regular person. He walked right by me and sat in his seat (which actually was worse than mine). He spent the entire time before the game signing autographs for anyone who wanted one.

I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings

I don’t think Grant said any of that stuff at the trade deadline. Though if I recall correctly he dropped “Cain for Francoeur” at least three different times.

A co-worker wore a Dodger jersey to work today. Apparently he went to the game yesterday after work. His stupid Dodger jersey said DOGG POUND on the back. I’ll try to take a picture of it next time he wears it. I will post it and we can all laugh at him together. Sound good? Good.

I don't understand why you folks
torture yourself by watching the playoffs. I mean, wasn’t the season enough suffering for you? Now you have to watch a post season that can only culminate in a Yankees / Dodgers world series?
