What This Giants Fan is Thankful For

On vacation. Don't bother me. Should the Giants trade Matt Cain for Evan Longoria, I'll tweet something super witty.
In the interim, enjoy this Thanksgiving-themed FanPost, which eliminated the need for me to write one. That's a good thing, as I was going back to the Lincecum-to-Rios well for a second straight year, and that would have brought out the Sabean-was-just-playing-around!/That-was-never-a-serious-offer crowd, who are almost as offensive as 9/11 Truthers.
Happy Thanksgiving, all. -- Grant
That the Giants are not going to be tempted to sign Johnny "his age has nothing to do with his future performance because he is so spectacular! my Scott Boras binder says so!" Damon to any contract longer than 1 hour

That I got to watch this
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I still get teary eyed thinking about that game. Whenever I see the pic of Jonathan and his dad hugging, I lose it.

I didn’t get to see all of that game live, so I bought a download of it from iTunes. It’s awesome but for one thing: it cuts off before that hug.

I was at the game and bolted right after the last out so I don’t know if they showed the hug on the scoreboard.

Awesome. I wasn’t there for the Sanchez game (I did turn down tickets from my roommates because I had plans to go to Speakeasy… FML) but I was in the portholes when we clinched in 2002. Only time I’ve hugged a random stranger when not purposefully trying to be creepy.

I was cheated a little bit out of enjoying this moment
I am a diehard Giants fan who works for the Padres… and of course the company line is you don’t want your employer getting no-hit by anyone. However, the bigger dulling effect was that I kept thinking how atrocious the Padres’ lineup was that night (they had just completed a huge stinker of a run of games and hadn’t found their stride yet, when the same crappy hitters suddenly started performing). I kept thinking that I wish this had occurred against a major league lineup. Don’t get me wrong: a no-hitter is a no-hitter is a no-hitter, and nearly impossible to accomplish. But those were my honest feelings, with additional bias because I was subjected to watching every single game the Padres played with their then-crappy-or-under-performing lineup. Two weeks later, those awful hitters suddenly found their groove in Cincinnati and carried it thru the rest of the season.
But on that night, while stoked for Johnny, the elation was tempered. Even the SD broadcasters were seemingly suggesting “well of course a guy with this electric stuff is going to no-hit us, we’ve got nothing.”

after hearing him get mentioned in every 5th sentence by timmy i just HAD to put a face to the name
"My friend once told me a story about San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. He said his cousin went out to a bar in San Francisco and saw Lincecum there. He went up to him to give him a handshake.
Lincecum refused. He didn’t want to give him a handshake. He wanted to give him a chest bump."

Yes.
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone
(Subdivisions)
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth
Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night
Well some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights…
Sorry, I just think that’s slightly more than your usual pop.

Pumpkin Pie

Every year someone says “yeah, make a pumpkin pie”, and then mysteriously by the time dinner’s over they’ve forgotten to eat any. Doesn’t matter what the other choice is: chocolate, apple, coconut, etc. Every time there’s half or more of the pumpkin left. Finally this year I’m just bagging it, because one of the pumpkin pie frauds expressed interest in pecan.

I am not thankful for morans like Joe Posnaski!
Lincecum is not eligible for my list because he has not yet won 50 games… I do think Lincecum is an awfully good bet for the Hall of Fame. Better than Greinke? I don’t think so. I know many people prefer Lincecum’s greatness, but I think a lot of that is because Lincecum pitches in the National League*. And, as good and as well-publicized a year as Greinke had, I think many people STILL don’t quite get how good he is.
*Just as a starting point: Opposing pitchers have had 173 plate appearances against Lincecum in his career — they are hitting .095/.142/.116 against him with 68 Ks against eight walks — add a little of that to Greinke’s totals and see what you get.

To which he would say:
The DH is an all offense position. So that would allow BETTER hitters to play. If Grienke had to only face the best 8 position players on the team plus a pitcher his stats would be comparable!

Thats what I was trying to do.
I like when they through in a few numbers, to prove their point but make the limits so hard to meet that its ridiculous. i.e. He has the best ERA in league history for anyone under the age of 25 while pitching the 8th inning and having face only 3 over the minimum batters with two base runners on and one out and 2 strikes.
I always find trying to decipher what that means. I usually end up thinking that the writer/poster is trying to prove clutchyness

Be fair, Greinke has been, at the least, comparable to Lincecum
Posnaski is actually one of the better writers out there. He’s actually uses stuff other than WINZ, RBIZ, and DINGERZ to evaluate player. Moreover, its not inconceivable to prefer Greinke over Lincecum. He was probably better than Lincecum last year, and in the end, choosing one over the other is a bit of a crapshoot. It’s not exactly like he was claiming that Greinke was clearly far superior to Lincecum and that Lincecum has no chance at the hall.

Well, I have it DVR’ed and watch the homerun from time to time. I watched it on the classic replay a few months ago.

That game was on about a month ago.

He got surprisingly arrogant towards the end of Waters. I’m still not that excited about the emo looking 11th Doctor. His future companion was on Robin Hood recently.

I think we’ve seen some of that arrogance from this doctor before, but Rose tempered it somewhat. That’s one reason he usually has a companion – it keeps him somewhat more grounded.
The new guy seems less emo once he puts on his Doctor threads. Have you seen them? Old school bow tie, tweed jacket. I’m looking forward to his interpretation.

"My friend once told me a story about San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. He said his cousin went out to a bar in San Francisco and saw Lincecum there. He went up to him to give him a handshake.
Lincecum refused. He didn’t want to give him a handshake. He wanted to give him a chest bump."

Happy Thanksgiving
I am thankful that I was actually able to find a can of cranberry sauce in Venezuela even though I could buy six in the states for the same price.
I am thankful for Matt Williams who at my first Giants game ever was driven around the track at Candlestick and the reaction of the crowd taught me what it means to be a Giants fan…an extra inning game if I remember correctly
I am thankful for the awesome moves that Sabes is about to make…as long as they don’t start with R’s or Z’s no more enteria owand or ito.

But I’ve heard that Scott Zowand is the player the Giants have been looking for in left field!

Mostly, I’m thankful that baseball introduced me to a totally new brand of ogling guys. But in a statistical way. Okay, it means staring at their asses. But the stats play a role, too.
