Update: (7/9 @ 2:37pm) The results are in and Pablo didn't win. Dang!

Update: (7/8 @ 9:46 a.m.) A little birdie told me that Pablo is down by a significant amount of votes. More than a thousand, less than a million. VOTE MORE. Redouble thy efforts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5XMFJt1YZg

Because Cristian Guzman is on the ballot despite not being very good, I wondered if even the Nationals SBN site could justify voting for him. It currently gets a small mention in the midst of an insanely long post. When it lists Sandoval, it does so as:

Pablo “Falls Alot” Sandoval (3B SF)

but come the fuck on

Timmy: 121 IP 2.23 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 141 K, 193 ERA+, 4.7 K/BB

Tim cleans his clock in Ks, but it’s not insane to think that Haren’s been better. Tim does have one more win, but everyone knows wins are stupid. I guess my statement made it seem like I thought Haren was head and shoulders above everyone else, which I don’t. HOWEVUH, if the season ended today he’d get my Cy vote.

Haren has been bad in the second half for like 3 straight years, so I don’t expect it to continue, but the guy’s been fucking incredible this year.

I've always wondered this...

Doesn’t a low BABIP just indicate that batters aren’t hitting the ball well because the hitter’s pitching well? Rather than just getting unlucky? Same for hitters. Some hitters just suck and have low BABIPs which you can’t expect to even out. A higher BABIP is more likely to come down than a low BABIP go up.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

by giants9107 on Jul 9, 2009 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think research has shown that while it can be highly variable for hitters, most pitcher BABIP is normally somewhere in the .270-.300 range. Haren’s got similar numbers to his previous years in terms of line drives, ground balls, fly balls, etc but while his career BABIP is .290, this year it’s only ~.230. Not that he’s not having a great year, but dude has been somewhat lucky so far.

If that were true, then good pitchers would consistently have low BABIPs, and bad ones would consistently have high ones. That is nowhere close to being the case. In general, unhittable pitchers are unhittable because the make sure batters don’t put many balls in play, not because they control the balls that were put in play.

Pablo >>> Reynolds, great power numbers but he seems destined to strike out in this ballot too…next

Pablo >> Kemp, very similar to the Panda’s stats except he steals bases while Panda hits better. However, he is likely to be on the AS team anyway with Ibanez/Beltran’s injury so let the Pandamonium begin in the LOU!!

Hold On!

Unfortunately, CafePress.com has pulled the design.

I’m not sure why, but it probably has to do with the small SF logo on the Pablo’s sleeve. Or just the image of Pablo entirely, I’m not sure. Probably not the “Vote for Pablo” text. There are a hundred different “Vote for Pedro” spoofs up on CafePress.com, so that’s not it. I really like this one a lot, but I have a hopefully less “infringing” version in the works that will go up when I know the exact problem, which should be sometime tomorrow morning. Yes, despite doing a couple hours of work on the image – working in my own color and composition into the work – I modeled the image of Pablo after a couple different images I found online, and that’s legal gray area to say the least. I understand that CafePress.com is covering its a$$ and I get that, so we’ll see.

Thanks!

But , of all bay area media personalities, should appreciate the level of "buzz" this little voting scheme has drummed up for an exhibition game. Granted it is a long stories exhibition game but it is still just an exhibition and now it is getting very cheap publicity. Heck! P.T. Baranum is smiling somewhere over this.

Well I can’t argue with Gary that the final vote and online voting in general is kind of an imperfect system. It allows people such as ourselves to stuff the ballot box. And often it lets the team hosting the AS game to get way too many of their players into the game.

Although this year I’m actually partaking because of Charlie Manuel’s idiotic voting methods. The stupid thing is that either Kemp or Victorino or both are going to make the team anyway because of injuries to Ibanez and Beltran. So just let Pablo have a spot you fuckers!

I just got back from Europe, where the only Giants news I got were occasional scores (no box score, not even line scores) and some league leader stuff. Pablo must have been ON FIRE the last few weeks. Since getting back last night I’ve put in about a dozen votes for pablo, I really hope he makes it. And congrats to cain on his first all star appearance.

Time to rant

What sort of douchebag campaigns for himself to get into the all-star game? Victorino’s out filming commercials and going door to door, while our humble panda says that even if he doesn’t get in, he’s just glad to get so much support from the fans. Seriously, it’s no secret that Victorino is a dirty player (anyone else see him grab Alex Cora’s ankle while sliding into second base), and Philly fans are a joke, but this is just stupid. He doesn’t deserve to be in the conversation, to be honest. Reynolds, Pablo and Kemp (yes, a Dodger) are the only three who deserve to be in the conversation.

I’m going to vote nonstop from now until 1 o’clock today. If Pablo loses to the Cryin’ Hawaiian, I’m seriously going to flip out. In the mean time, I’m a Mets fan for the rest of the year.

Now, I’m going to take some cheap shots at the city of Philadelphia. In all honesty, it’s a disgusting place. I was there two years ago for the Army-Navy game, and let me tell you, there isn’t an ounce of charm to the place. It’s dark, dank, grimy and just plain disgusting. No wonder Philly fans are so miserable all the time.

Thank you for listening to my rant. Come on Giants fans and country of Venezuela, lets get this done

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief.

The issue here is not whether Shane Victorino has a rectum face, or likes to strangle puppies—he does.

But you can’t hold an online All-Star vote that potentially rewards the behavior a sick twisted individual. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the entire All-Star voting system? And if the whole All-Star voting system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of Shane Victorino in general? I put it to you, MLB: isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. McCoven!

Subject: $ 475

This number should be, 666 and tattooed on your forehead, you mark whore for wrestling. I will have this email posted on every message board I can find and encourage you to do the same. You have hurt the ones that I love best and covered up the truth with lies, one day you will be in the ditch, flies buzzin around your eyes. I hope that you die and your death will come soon, as I would love to follow your casket on a pale afternoon, I will watch as you are lowered down to your death bed and stand over your grave to make sure that you are dead. I have been praying to the devil that HE will send demons to pluck out your eyes, cut your tongue in half and sever your ears, spit venom in your face and gut you with a butcher knife and watch as your intestines spill out. You f****** worthless wrestling mark whore. More coming.

does anyone else have a problem with how fundamentally unfair this procress
