Also, sometime soon, the Giants will trade an OFer to the Braves for an IFer. It has to happen, right?

back in my day we wanted to be like magic larry now these days all you guys talk about is try to be like mike or becoming the next lebanon james
It does suck that the game wasn't on tv
But at least it’s better than the old days, when they hardly aired any home games,

Last time I made a disparaging comment relating to a vagina several psycho, menopausal women went fucking ballistic here.

Maybe I’m thinking of a different occasion, but as I recall, the “psycho, menopausal women” jumping on your back ended up turning into a pretty long, interesting and civil discussion about the use of gendered insults. We had that discussion once, I don’t think it needs to happen again.

Dude, stop trying to piss of the reasonable and respected regulars around here (I am not claiming to be one of them). There’s a reason there isn’t much name-calling and shouting on this blog; it’s because people tend to take the time to think about what they’re saying and they decide not to willfully antagonize others.

That and the fact that people on this blog actually know each other. In real life. There’s a little bit more to this place than just names on a screen.
You may not be an olde tyme regular, but you’re still a regular, I’ve always been more of an irregular.
That’s why I love this place and keep coming back. The people here treat each other like, I don’t know, people. It’s great; it’s civil; it’s enjoyable. It’s like an old neighborhood with people just shooting the breeze on their front-porches.

This is the fourth time recently I’m mentioned said island. Nobody else here has ever mentioned it and it’s pretty obscure. I guess it’s my new Kim Batiste – who, until now, I hadn’t mentioned in a comment since April.

Isn’t Picairn Island from Mutiny on the Bounty… or what’s the other one? HMS Bounty? Totally different books but I always get them confused.
The same
It’s still populated today, largely by the descendants of the mutineers and some Tahitian women they kidnapped as “wives.” Its current population is about 50.
It’s always held a romantic allure for the history and for being so ridiculously remote (it takes a week to get there from Australia – there’s no airstrip, it’s too far off shore for helicopters, and there isn’t even a port). A lot of that romance was destroyed around 2002, however, when it came out that most of the adult men on the island had been molesting young girls for decades. A controversial trial ensued.
It’s a subject I’ve long been obsessed with, and I’m reading a book about the trials right now, hence my recent mentions of the place.

Awesome! I know it’s bad to anecdotally try to analyze, but I really think it’s clear how much his discipline has improved.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at second.
Fangraphs is awesome
He’s chased 45% of the pitches outside the strike zone this year. That would lead the league if it weren’t for Molina and his 49.2% ( which basically means Molina is one bad week away from having swung at more balls than he’s taken). Except for those two, no other player has even reached 40%. He’s definitely improved since last year, but the increase in walks is also because pitchers just stopped throwing him strikes. His Zone% is 38.1% – the lowest in the majors by a 5% margin (Pujols is second).

Somebody asked about Timmy’s scoreless streak. Giambi hit a home run in the 2nd inning three starts ago. He went 9 that game, 9 his last start, and 7 today. So I guess that is 7+9+7 = 23.
by Uribe nee Gonzalez on Jul 4, 2009 3:56 PM PDT reply actions
Giambi led off the 2nd with the HR, and Lincecum then got three consecutive outs. That should count as an inning!

Maybe or maybe not, but the NEWS DOESN"T CHANGE in that period.
This is a horrible and dumbing fact about all coverage of surprise events— media just repeating the same stuff all day because there is no new thing to add. After “guy is dead by gunshot” and the couple other known facts, that’s all there is. It is — always, everywhere, and in all stories — useless to repeat the same two sentences over and over for 3 hours. There is a world of events and news to cover. Come back on the mcnair story when there is something new to know.

Just got back from the game
just wanted to say: WOOHOO!
Going forward
I feel like the Giants SHOULD win every game until the All Star Break
potentially
they can be 16 games over .500….I would settle for over 10
considering who the Giants are playing until the break – Astros (1), Florida (3) and San Diego (4) – they should.

Chances Pablo plays tomorrow?
They list him as day to day and as much as I’d love him in the lineup, it’s probably best he rests.
Start for Aurilia! Sign me up!!!

Aurelia plays third? Who’s our utility infielder? Medders? Lewis? ‘Cause i’d pay good money to see Lewis at short

Unless there’s a deal in the works. That’s what I’m wondering, maybe Merkin’s part of a trade. Say to Pittsburgh, with Pucetas and a lower minor leaguer for Sanchez. Or maybe Sanchez for Sanchez. But there’s no way a 13 man staff and no backup in the infield makes a lick of sense
by Giantsfan4life on Jul 4, 2009 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions
If Pablo sits tomorrow, they’re going to have to make a roster move. M-boy (Miller, Medders, Merkin) down, Frandsen up. They already don’t have a back-up middle infielder – farkin’ Aurilia – and they can’t play a game without a single back-up infielder (sorry, Nate and Randy don’t count).
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Oh, and I’m aware that all of the M-boys would have to clear waivers.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
So basically...
Aurillia at 3rd- the rest of the defensive alignment remains the same, Pablo comes off the bench to pinch hit in the 8th ‘cuz the Giants haven’t scored yet.
And they’re losing 8-0 as the left side of the infield commits four errors.

Panda Info from Baggs
Pablo Sandoval slid across the plate like he was trying to pick up a 7-10 split. Instead, all he did was tear most of the skin off his right knee. He was tagged out trying to score in the fifth inning and was taken out in the sixth.
Yummy.
One of those things that will last all season and will keep breaking open every time he slides.

I hate Flannery
He had NO chance at all of scoring, so why send him. And our 2nd run (I can’t recall whom— Winn?) was totally out, but the umpire kindly called him safe. One of the bonus factors when Bochy leaves is that Flannery goes, too. Dumb ass.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
Didn’t Winn score on an error? It would be his judgement wether to go home or not (plus there were two outs)
/I missed the play, So I don’t know exactly know what happened on Pablo’s SB to allow Winn to score from 3rd. Maybe you can describe it

As Superk1ng described, except that Winn never touched the plate, and the umpire gave us a gift.
He was totally blocked from the plate. The replays were 100% conclusive. Before I saw the replays, it didn’t look to me like he ever touched the plate. But either way, waaaaaay to close to be sending Winn on the PB.

Now I watched the replay, and you’re right, he never touched the plate.

After all those years of Wendall Kim and Sonny Jackson, I actually like hit him. (It helps that I grew up in San Diego and loved him as a player. He hung as a big leaguer for 10 seasons with a lack of any appreciable tools beyond a sure glove and good command of the strike zone. Gamer.)
My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman
Agree re Wendell and Sonny. Oy.
And I respect that you appreciated how hung Flannery was as a big leaguer. But that dude is a terrible analyst of his own players’ speeds, the abilities of the opposing defense, the location of the ball, and what is likely to happen 3-7 seconds later. Either that or he is a really bad gambler.

TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH.
Seriously though… way to go Giants. Can we hit like this every day, PLEASE!?!?!?!
From a game recap of Dodgers-Padres:
Ramirez also hit two ground balls that led to close plays.
Gee, even when he grounds out he’s glorified.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
I’m sure it’s already been discussed elsewhere, though I haven’t seen it: what kind of magic pixie dust does Manny have? If this was BLB he’d be pilloried.
Like Sammy Sosa, he's happy to dance on command...*
Plays the fool with the big grin and the simple mind. People adore it.
Yea, it really is strange. Everyone welcomes him back with open arms.
Also, all the Dodgers fans with the posters welcoming Manny back and cheering for him: hypocrite much?
We may try to get tickets for the Dodger series in late September, plenty of time to think up something good.
A Ramirez jersey with hypodermic needles sticking out all over and the female reproductive system outlined on the lower half might be a big seller.

gamer he may be, but
is he as good as Alex Rios? should’ve traded for him when we had the chance.
Has anyone else heard the rumors that the Blue Jays are offering to just give away Rios? As disappointing as he’s been this year, he’s still been worth about 1 WAR (well, 0.8) this year and is way below his usual BABIP so far.
I’d take him in a second.

Does BAPIP really matter when evaluating somebody for something like this? In the end, it does come down to the actual numbers.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
It doesn’t matter when evaluating how well someone’s done this season, but if you’ve got two pitchers with similar numbers and one has a crazy low BABIP like that, it’ll bump me over into choosing the other dude.

7.53 K/BB, and a slightly lower ERA in a much, much tougher park. Haren deserves it.

I really don’t see the case for him. Haren has gotten better results (lower ERA in a hitters’ park), and he’s got better peripherals too, .231 BABIP or not.
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry.

let him start
I’d rather Lincecum be rested for the second half of the season. Haren will decline in the second half like he always does anyway.
That was a ridiculously fun game to be at
Even if everyone in Section 139 heard me scream at Bengie not to take a pitch…
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
err, to take a pitch.

I’ve noticed that in some corners of the Giants blogosphere, there is a longstanding love affair for Tampa Bay infielder Ben Zobrist, and with good reason. He could make the All-Star team. A gold star for those who saw it coming.

Went to game-- Stubhub Upgrade for the Mayor and the Heir!`
My son and I were picked for the Stubhub upgrade, moving us from Box 311 into the cushy recliners in the Club Level. I love my seats in 311, but it was nice to have the luxury seats for one game.
Great game and a great day. We had two runners totally thrown out at home (except that one was called safe for reasons I don’t understand). Rich should still retire or be retired. And Tim Lincecum is just a phenomenon and it is a pure joy to get to watch him play for the Giants.

Completely randomly; a very nice ambush
We walked through our tunnel and standing near our section were 3 lovely young women in those orange jerseys— the cheer squad that tosses out t-shirts and pizzas and stuff during the game. They saw the Heir and me, we said a hi, and they asked if we would like an upgrade of our seats. That was literally it. It was that random and out of the blue.

Krazy Krab despised in the 20th century and beloved in the 21st century. Hey it only took over 20 years, so don't give up hope.
