If Ramon Ortiz comes anywhere near this game with the score closer than 10 runs, I will be very pissed. Get lost Ortiz!

My wife bought the DVD of The Secret of NIMH for our son this week. The novel it was based on was called Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, but they changed the character’s name in the movie to Mrs. Brisby due to trademark concerns. So now, watching the movie, I can’t help but think of poor young Grant as a mouse laid up in a cinder block with pneumonia, living in fear of being crushed beneath the wily and evil tractor.

Pedro Gomez is a fool
talking on the WBC about how Sidney Ponson blew a five run lead for the Giants in Game 2 of the 2003 playoffs. It was a three run lead, and when Joe Nathan came into the game, the Giants were ahead 5-4. Go back to stalking Barry Bonds, Pedro.

Gameday Audio is the best $15 I ever spent when I was out of the listening area.

I think,
though a lot more expensive, that it’s worth it to go with full blown mlb.tv, especially since they let you choose your feed now so you don’t have to listen to the shitty Rockies announcers.

3 WBC games on TV and the giants on the radio
Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It's an unfair game. -Rod Kanehl
Okay let me see if I can do this. I have the USA/Canada game on TV, the Giants on the radio, and two tabs with the WBC and the Giants gameday threads open. I’m going to comment on both games as much as I can.

Aurilia is perfect for this team
With the young infield and Aurilia’s experience and versatility he is perfect for this Giants team.
i’ll take that every time. look, we all love aurillia. great giant and all, but if he plays a lot, we’ll have another bad baseball team.
every team needs a solid bench plus Aurilia does bring a lot to a team. Hope Ishikawa and Brooks perform well and are healthy however it is good to know SF has a player who can fill in on off days, DL etc
No, he doesn't really bring "a lot'
he brings “a guy who’s OK hitting lefties and at one point in his career could play a number of positions pretty well but now is sorta old and not anywhere near what he used to be” to a team.
Also, when Bochey is the manager, we can never be sure that Aurillia won’t be an every-day guy.
Raquel
that’s a lot.

It’ll turn out he’s had some injury this spring or he’ll make a “mechanical adjustment” and then he’ll have like 4 good outings in Fresno, someone in The City (for you wilriv) will get hurt, Sadler will be called up and be horrible, and everyone will be at a loss to explain it.

Spring Baseball
I went for a beer, bought a program, and the next thing you know, the game was called because of the 10-run rule….
Split squad games tomorrow. Already thin spring pitching gets halved again.
Randy Johnson will have some backup against the A’s. I don’t know what sort of tossed salad the Giants will throw at Anaheim…
I have returned to The Cove...
…and have moved back to the Bay Area! WOOT! I don’t have to pretend to like the Dodgers anymore!
…okay, I still like the Dodgers, but only in that “Love to hate them” way.
And of course, my reintroductory post happens during a Matt Cain game in which the Giants are down by five runs.
Nothing’s changed, really.
Aurilia sounds like a planet out of StarFox.
Scrappy hitter McClain gets on
Now here comes our power in Velez
Noise to make it 9-7
Rohlinger powers one toward the Grand Canyon
It's almost over, Wil
Giants, nine wins in 2008 Cactus, know what it’s like to be drubbed throughout spring training.
Today they charitably hand Colorado it’s second win in ST 2009.
Ryan Rohlinger is pissed off that everyone has written him off.
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
Judy has enough material now
to keep her blog warm for two months
Darn Buster made the last out, Wil
Notgardo>Posey?
He can't hit, so
Make him drive the bus to San Jose and then maybe Norwich
Take a vacation to AZ, people
Miller and Kuiper being yayed and booed by audible fans near the booth…
