Open Gameday Thread, 3/24

PrintA win puts the team over .500 for the spring, and the Giants send proven non-winner Matt Cain to the hill for this must-win game. Just great.* Fun fact of the day: the Giants lead the majors in spring runs allowed.**
* If you are new to this site, please note that the "proven non-winner" jab was sarcasm. Matt Cain is fantastic.
** Note: Fun facts are not guaranteed to be fun.

I think a lot of the reason they didn’t go after CC full-heartedly is that they have a solid pitching staff already, not just for financial reasons. If the rotation was Lincecum, Johnson, Zito, Sanchez, & [insert AAAA pitcher from Fresno], I think the team would have considered it much more, because the rotation goes from possibly best in the NL West to “meh” without Cain or CC.

That post is horribly depressing
In last night’s game, Fred Lewis hit a home run in the 7th inning. That’s usually a minor footnote but that home run snapped a 12 game team homerless streak that stretched from July 23rd to August 4th.
~ Since 2000, it’s the second longest homerless streak of any major league team. In 2007, a light hitting Angels team went 14 games without a home run.
~ Over those 12 games in which the Giants didn’t hit any home runs, the numbers work out to: 392 AB7, 31 R, 98 H, 14 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 29 RBI, 76 SO, 15 BB, 12 SB, 6 CS. That translates to a batting line of: (.250/.285/.291)
The Giants team leaders in HR are as follows:
1. John Bowker 9
2. Aaron Rowand 9
3. Rich Aurilia 8
4. Fred Lewis 8
5. Bengie Molina 8

Question
OK, I will be the pointman for MCC Nite at San Jose Yard. Have a couple of questions for those that will be attending?
1. Do you prefer a Madison Bumgarner start or day of the week?
2. Weekday or weekend?
3. Is the weekend of Thursday April 9 – Sunday April 12 good?
Any suggestions appreciated.
If I can go, the weekend would be the only time. And even then it’s iffy.

True tales of how MCC messes up my work day
I had turned on caps lock for MOCK OUTRAGE. Then I lost my VPN connection to work. I forgot capslock was on, so it kept rejecting my password until I got locked out of the system. Now, I can’t work until they get it reset.
Actually, maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Random tale
At the time I was in college, the Actors Studio was affiliated with the New School, where I was a student. Once, I saw James Lipton printing something out in the computer lab. You would have thought he’d have an office and computer of his own in which to do that, what with having his own tv show and all.

Wilson can't pitch unless he has a chance to lose.
