PrintAs Randy sits at the bar and waits to see if destiny turns up, we the fans are left to contemplate deep mysteries. For instance, if a space ship traveling at the speed of light were to pass through the center of the Giants offense, would it go backwards in time?

When I first met my wife, she ate ribs with a fork and knife. She only stopped because I made fun of her so much.

For my job we had to go through etiquette training involving how to eat fancy multi course meals. At my table learning with me was a man from West Virginia. He was floored when we were taught to eat salad with both a fork and knife. And even more upset by the fact he had to cut the salad with the knife.
His remark was along the lines that if he ever did this around the people where he came from, they would lock him up for being crazy.
….Did he eat it with his hands before?

you have watched them play? I did when Bocock was at Adv A San Jose a couple of seasons ago and NEVER thought he would ever see a day in ML
Yes I’ve watched them play. Bocock is a great fielding SS, like Omar. Omar’s offense was pretty atrocious in his first 3 years or so. Essentially he was last year for 3 years.

Your! 2009 Giants Drinking game.
Get an alcoholic beverage. Define a “drink” and a “chug”. A chug should equal 1 12 oz. beer, 1 shot of hard liquor, or 1 4 oz. glass of wine. There are approximately 10 drinks to a chug. Feel free to alter to your taste/liver/probability of getting up in the morning.
- Take a drink whenever: *
- Any Giants player swings at the first pitch
- Any Giants player hits into a double play
- Any Giants pitcher walks a batter
- Rich Aurillia fakes a bunt
- Sandoval hits a ball no where near the strike zone
- Brian Wilson puts the lead of man on.
- Fred Lewis looks at strike 3
- Chug a drink whenever *
- Bochy Double switches
- Velez gets picked off (sadly no longer on roster)
- Molina or Sandoval draws a walk
- Aaron Rowand runs into something
- Burriss gets an extra base hit
- Giants get a runner to third with no outs and fail to score
- Molina or Sandoval hit a triple (or inside the parker!)
There, I must have left some for you mooks!

WARNING: Rant ahead
How is it that every time a KNBR host opens the phones for Giants talk, I ALWAYS hear someone talk about trading for Prince Fielder. In what universe hasn’t that been talked to death? Jebus, it’s so freaking annoying. I’m pretty sure NO ONE has a new take on acquiring Prince Fielder from the Brewers, ok? It’s not an original thought, it’s not an original question, why are the call screeners still letting those callers on the air? I just turn the dial every time I hear that name. Seriously, are these prank calls or something?

Adopted Giant: Daryl "Dealio" Maday - 2nd bad start in a row. 5 ER, 7 H and 3 BB in only 4 1/3 IP. Overall ERA has risen to 3.99. Time to shape up, son. A thought: Maday has given up either 0, 1, 2, or 3 ER in every start except his last two, both of which have been against Portland. We'll blame it on those Sea Dogs!

“The Giants and Nationals were committed to play Wednesday night’s game, but the front that was supposed to cease by 10:15 EDT has stalled over the Washington DC area. The game has been called not because of the rain, but because the field is not playable, Nats president Stan Kasten said.”
