Please score lots of runs so that Lincecum can come out
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
You’re confusing Tim Lincecum with Morrissey again.

You forgot that Sean Marshall was a war hero and a volunteer fire fighter on his off days.
On the run from Johnny Law, aint no trip to Cleveland, or San Francisco.
So, I desperately want the Giants to come out this inning and yell “SURPRISE! we’ve been playing like crap as a joke!” Then score 5 runs.
7 innnings and leaves with the lead
not his best stuff but good enough to give his team a good chance to win. Unfortunately we will likely see a bunch of their best hitters come off the bench.

this was the question that knocked me out of '...Millionaire'
I left with $32K, but a higher question was: Which prez didn’t get his party’s nom for a 2nd term? I picked G. Cleveland (our only non-consecutive prez, #22 and 24). It was, as you know, Pierce. Ah well.

Cleveland actually not only got the renomination, he beat Benjamin Harrison in the popular vote.
I believe he’s the only President other than FDR to win the popular vote more than twice.

If you’re referring to why we call Rowand “Scott”, it’s because Bonds called him that one time. At first we thought he was mistaking Rowand for Scott Rolen. Then we realized that Bonds never makes mistakes and that Rowand’s name actually must be Scott.

“Valdez looks like a guy who could eat up a workload”
Yes. The chronically injured pitcher.
Now, now. In fairness, Kruk's point was that Merkin's body LOOKS like that type.
Not that he, particularly, IS that type.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
I agree that Valdez needs more work. If only to get Bochy out of the Affeldt/Howry rut.

THROW STRIKES, GIANTS PITCHER

Valdez throws kinda hard.

That’s practically Zito-esque.

yup. add up 2 or 3 of Zito’s pitches and that’s about what they come to.
