The Chase bank commercial reminds me of Matt Vasgersian’s Donovan McNabb joke.
Judgment Day is coming

Did you know that Chase has been doing business long enough to know what business owners want?
They also have mad jokes!
Right now Jon Miller is somewhere wearing a flamboyant tie and thinking about me.
WHAT I THOUGHT CHASE WAS A BRAND NEW BANK I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT B4.

dianagramr (NYC): Given your love of fat players, how would you describe Pablo Sandoval? “Pandaesque” comes to mind.
Kevin Goldstein: I really need to compile like a short book of best scout quotes I’ve ever heard. On Sandoval: “Man, that fat [expletive]-er can hit.”

you do realize they (and all his sponsors) have tried to distance themselves from him since the rape case? Lebron is the proverbial “golden boy”. I’m not going to argue that Kobe gets pretty much all the calls he wants, but he’s far from the Derek Jeter of basketball.

he came in in 07 with the worst goddamned offense in NFL history and at least made them look like they belonged on the field.

FUN?
It was fun to watch him hike the ball, start stutter-stepping and freaking out, and take off running?
It was so flipping irritating to see him unable to calmly sit in the pocket and look for his receivers. I understand that part of his game is his running ability, but every…flipping…time he looked like he was unable to handle himself in the pocket.

I've never been happier to have Crabs
look...
it’s like any sport…it’s fun to watch when the team is doing well, and it’s painful when they lose.
Garcia was tolerable as long as the team was going somewhere. Once they fell off the table and they couldn’t win, he was unbearable to watch and it was definitely time to cut loose.
It’s possible that I don’t give him enough credit, but he’s certainly not the star QB that you seem to think he is. Maybe a happy middle of “he was ok for the job”?

No, I didn’t. You said he “was not a good QB and was very, very painful to watch”, and that is incorrect, no matter how you try to spin it. He was good, very good for a couple years, and was pretty fun to watch when he was very good. Then the entire team went downhill.
When he went to Philly, he took them to the playoffs. He’s a lot better than you’re giving him credit for.

Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, hacker extraordinaire

I've never been happier to have Crabs
I was just trying to show
that the success of a team does not lie in it’s QB’s hands. It takes a number of good players around him for the team to succeed.
There’s also the argument that a QB is only as good as his line allows him to be. With the kind of time that Brady was being given in their Super Bowl runs, I would definitely argue that 50% of the QBs in the league could have had the success he had.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.
by UnleashTheGore on May 7, 2009 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions
That's fine
but what you were saying was that Garcia wasn’t just “average”, but that he was actively bad, which he wasn’t. The niners wouldn’t have had the success they had with Ken Dorsey at QB for those seasons. Or Cody Pickett or any of the other shitcans they chose over Garcia in the following years.
Also, I’d argue that a team with an actively bad QB cannot win, unless their defense is historically great.
Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, hacker extraordinaire
Thanks to roger

To be fair...
I never said he was “bad”. I may have implied it, but I just said he wasn’t “good”. I guess average will do, but my gut tells me that that’s pushing it even.

I’m gonna listen to the numbers, the Pro Bowls, and what I actually saw. Dude was above average at the very least. If they had 2001 Jeff Garcia this year, they’d be pretty much unstoppable.
That’s what I’m hoping to see from Shaun
Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, hacker extraordinaire
Thanks to roger
I've never been happier to have Crabs
Well 2001 Garcia
was much different than 2003 Garcia when they let him go. We can cottonpick the good years of many QBs, that doesn’t mean we can call them “above average” if we look at only 2 years out of a career.

"Ok" in the sense of not making a difference to the outcome of this game, yes.
It is still shitty technique, so it is most definitely not “ok” in any broader sense of that term.
And 7 runs is a tough gap to close in 3 innings, but not unheard of in Pinball Machine Park.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
VELEZ SCORED
suck it, haters.

It's not like he got himself on base or anything.
He scored, but all he had to do was run.

I was wondering yesterday, how long until Boston fans/media turn on him…
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Not really. not in the same way it happened to Manny, Clemens, Nomar, etc.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

That's true
but Manny and Clemens sort of betrayed their team. Papi is just sucking.

What happens is that when players outlive their usefulness to the team, for various reasons, all of a sudden the Boston media turns on them and turns on them hard, so that when they’re finally run out of town, none of the fans complain about it. Sometimes it’s maybe deserved, sometimes not. I would be surprised if it doesn’’t have happen to Ortiz at some point if he doesn’t start hitting (especially as he’s made statements about how he doesn’t have protection in the order or something… uh Jason Bay is hitting like .320/.480/.620, how is that not protection??)

It would be sad if they turned on Ortiz. I always liked him despite his Boston affiliation.

I would think you’d be in favor of turning him on, then.

You’re right, I would like it. I’d have more reason to call Boston fans reactionary asshats.

Me too
IDC if they were cheating, that 04 series against the Yanks was the best non-giants related baseball thing I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ll always love Ortiz for that HR in game 4

75 should be a C, not a B.

it’s not like it isn’t coming back.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
Well, if you’re gonna come in and give up a solo homer, this is the game to do it in.
