Post-Game Discussion: Giants Take Another From the A's

Nate Schierholtz unwittingly becomes the Jerry West of the IPBL (International Paddle Ball League).

Nate Schierholtz unwittingly becomes the Jerry West of the IPBL (International Paddle Ball League).

Randy Johnson should have been this good all along. I'm not saying that just from a statistical standpoint. His FIP was more reasonable than his ERA, but the disconnect was easy to spot with the nekkid eye. The bushels of runs Johnson was giving up didn't match up with what we saw when he pitched. Hitters didn't always look comfortable, and there were a ton of swings and misses. Yet Johnson came into tonight's game with an ERA right at 5.00.

Star-divide

Johnson looked great tonight, even if it was just the A's. And I write that knowing that the Giants offense is just as bad, if not worse. It's hard to just unload a dumptruck of superlatives on a pitcher who beats the A's. But Johnson deserves at least the back of a '69 El Camino filled with superlatives. Great game.

Also of note: Bengie Molina walked tonight! Adding any sort of clarification to that point makes you a lawyer. And not the good kind who protect you from evil corporations, either.

Also, also of note: Nate Schierholtz can hit lefties. Rich Aurilia cannot hit righties. Write it on a 3x5 card if you need to, Bruce.

Also, also, also of note: If I'm so sure that the A's/Giants rivalry is so one-sided, why do I have the urge to scream, "SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK IT, A'S!" from my rooftop?

The compound-modifier hyphen is another one that has to do with clarity. You basically use it when there could be confusion about which in a three-word sequence the second word is connected to.

A good bad example: Real Estate Services.

Are those services that have to do with real estate, or are they estate services that exist in real life? Without clarifying the compound modifier there’s no way to know!

Of course, it’s a bad example because nobody would ever need clarification for that particular phrase. We all know that Real Estate is a pair, so you don’t need the hyphen to clarify it.

But it does do a good job of illustrating the point. It’s not that baby mama necessarily gets a hyphen when it’s an adjective. It’s that it necessarily gets a hyphen when it’s an adjective AND there could be confusion. Sure, you could use the hyphen anyway as long as it’s an adjective, but beyond clarity it’s just a matter of preference.

It's a nice presumption

But in the specific case of common compounds, like “baby mama,” where people are so familiar with the compound itself that it’s highly unlikely to be read the wrong way, the hyphen shouldn’t be a very big deal. I mean, you can use it in that case, but there’s no reason to feel like you must.

At least in my opinion.

This

Since it’s a shortened version of the proper “baby’s mama” the hyphen isn’t really necessary, but it works fine.

No, I mean the link to the postgame threads show up on Twitter before they do in the gameday threads. Not that it matters, just find it odd.

Probably because there’s an option to autopost them on Twitter when Grant posts the postgame threads, whereas he has to manually add the link on the gamethread.

The Giants are 39-32, seven games over .500.

I feel shocked.

I still kind of feel like we’re actually 7 games under .500 and only contending because the NL West sucks again.

And yet.

remember how good you feel now when it collapses. if it doesn’t then… get drunk?

Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!

Don't look now

The NL West has the top 2 teams (by record) in the NL, and the #1 and #4 teams in all of MLB – not to mention the hottest team (by far) in the past 3 weeks.

I’m more than likely heading down there tomorrow. I won’t get a chance to speak with him before the game, but I’d just like to see him get in a game.

he's gotta pitch, right?

Not much sense in a rehab appearance with no rehabbing, although the BRATZS11!!! may have better ideas. Enjoy the tater salad!

He’ll be starting tomorrow. Romo was down there for a rehab start but went one inning. I’ll bet they give Joe at least three.

And yay tater salad.

Hope he’s back with the big club soon. It’d blow if there was no place at the inn for him just because he got clobbered by a line drive.

Post Game Wrap

Kuip’s guy is Nate – solid statement against lefties.

Jon’s guy is the Big Unit – he settled in after a slow start. Didn’t allow another run after the first. He can pitch.

Kruk’s guy is Brian Wilson – he doesn’t get many easy saves. 1-2-3 see-ya. Less drama recently from Wilson.

Flem’s guy is Aaron Rowand – he had his best at bats early in the game. he helped key the scoring.

Bonds stands alone.

I’m praying that the Giants get good enough to convince Sabean NOT to rent any hitters and using Tanner or some other kid who could be great as the security deposit.
