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.

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   0 recs

Giambi led off the 2nd with the HR, and Lincecum then got three consecutive outs. That should count as an inning!

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.

Well I have a ticket but I don’t know. I went today and forgot my hat, the nose has pink tinge. I most definitely will need shade tomorrow.

Your 2009 San Francisco Giants

Best home record in the Majors and 2nd best run differential in the NL.

So, the Giants outscored someone 22-0 in two games?

Woah…

Which means it’s likely they get shut out tomorrow…
…maybe I won’t go.

Which means we’ll own him.

Were you able to see the game? Or did Fox drape a big black blanket over the playing field?

Nice.

I think we were all saying the Giants would get shut out today and tomorrow after last night’s game.

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.

Bonds stands alone.

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!!!

by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 4, 2009 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

So, ummm....

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

Damn that 13 man pitching staff.

by baybruin415 on Jul 4, 2009 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

screw that, if Panda’s not playing … and neither Timmy nor Cainer is pitching….pffffffft….

by Merope on Jul 4, 2009 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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).

Oh, and I’m aware that all of the M-boys would have to clear waivers.

by Natto on Jul 4, 2009 5:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Merope on Jul 4, 2009 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And they’re losing 8-0 as the left side of the infield commits four errors.
