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

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.

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.

The confusion stems from two sources:

1. Department/Course Titles: All of the english course I have taken literature or writting/grammar focused have been called English XXXX

2. Over zealous professors: When you have a literature professor who, when grading, is more concerned about your style than your anaylsis you tend to think the class is also about grammar. This is the reason I tend to stay away from Liberal Arts courses, the professors always steer the course in a direction of personal prefence (i.e. style and the “message”) and don’t allow for personal expression or indivual thought. Additionally, I cannot spell worth a lick and grammer comes to me as easily as vision to a blind man.

I’ve taught 4&5 year olds for over…. ummmm well for a long long time… and I’ve found that, at that age anyway, how you react is how they will react.

 Many times a child will wipe out on the playground and then look to an adult before saying/doing anything. I’ve learned that a “Oh you’re alright, pick yourself, brush yourself off…” gets a much better reaction from the child than “Oooooh you pooooor widdle thing!! You got a boo-boo!”

Well, it's hard to perform an impression in writing, but, um...

I think he is a very, very funny comedian— clearly a kind of a genius. His performance with Dustin Hoffman as angels in a ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ episode was the funniest thing I have seen him do. But I have limits to what I find funny when you’re basically just using people’s own good faith in interacting with you as the bludgeon by which you’ll make them look foolish. I laughed so hard during ‘Borat’ that I had real tears… but haven’t watched it again because I just don’t think it would hold up to a 2nd viewing, because the comedy was cheap (while hilarious).

That's interesting, thank you

I haven’t quite seen enough of his comedy to form a truly educated opinion on him, but he’s never appealed to me very much based on the little I have seen. Most of the reason is similar to what you say at the end, that the comedy often seems cheap. It’s part of why I’ve stayed away from Borat (I also have a distaste for comedy the potency of which hinges on the value of shock, which is pretty much the rest of the reason I’ve stayed away). I’m sure that my not having seen a whole hell of a lot of him means that I’m missing quite a bit, but it’s tough to break through my current disinterest.
