Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

I think it’s pathetic that Victorino was actively campaigning for himself. It’s embarrassing. Also, maybe the least deserving statistic wise of the lot.

FUCK

Adopted Giant Darren "Speedy" Ford. Said by Andrew Baggarly to be the fastest minor league player and the best defensive outfielder in the Giants Organization. Now playing for your San Jose Giants.

Can he still get in as the replacement for Beltran’s roster spot?

by xanthan on Jul 9, 2009 2:27 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Or Ibanez if he doesn’t rehab by then?

should we blame Obama?

by wilriv21 on Jul 9, 2009 2:39 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

absolutely! and obviously Biden’s Scranton roots didn’t help either.

Great

Now he can relax and have a few days off before the real baseball begins in the second half. Do not lose all your money at the tables, Sandoval

get sued

i hope they get sued by gran torino for using “torino.”

Screw victorino, i’ve always hated him especially after he hit that HR off Licecum in his debut. Boo the hell out of him.

by kingaro on Jul 9, 2009 2:40 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

isn't that the series

he also ran into vizquel while trying to evade a rundown, and they called interference on vizquel?

nevermind that Shane was so far out of the basepath that he might’ve even run into the pitcher’s mound, but anyways…screw him. i hope manuel plays him and ryan howard the whole game out of favoritism, and now i hope the NL loses despite 2 flawless innings from Cain and Lincecum.

yah that play started my hatred for shane

this hurts, but what kills me is giants brass will sign him to a dave roberts like contract when hes 38 and useless while we are stockpiling centerfielders again

he will say something asinine at the press conference, “I’ve always respected this organization since they drafted Jerome Wiiliams”

look deep into your heart, you know this to be true =(

by Gnomercy on Jul 9, 2009 2:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You may simply be joking

…but I fully expect Brian Sabean to sign Victorino as a free agent, whenver that happens and wherever Brian is employed at that time. He is exactly the kind of guy Sabean covets.

ESPN

All over Victorino this morning on First take letting him campaign. BS.

i’d still rather have Benjie & Schierholtz covering pablo rather than Utley & Howard

He had the support of the entire western-most state behind him.

Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

It Was The East Coast Bias In 4pm ET Ending Of This Vote That Denied The Panda.

They got another full day of voting while we got just a half of a day.

conclusion

People are stupid. Nothing new, unfortunately.

(tbh, I’d kind of rather have kemp win, even though he’s a dodger – at least he’s, you know, good.)

I wanna burn down Philadelphia now. Is that overreacting?

No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball

by Skaldheim on Jul 9, 2009 3:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

That’s underreacting.

by Natto on Jul 9, 2009 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

My first reaction involved something called “Stormbringer,” but not many would get that reference here.

So with Beltran out

Victorino is the only CF on the roster.

Does that mean he’s going to pick Kemp to replace Beltran?

by jctGamer on Jul 9, 2009 3:43 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Most likely. I think Panda’s only hope is if Ibanez hurts himself when coming back over the weekend and decides to sit out

by m34josh on Jul 9, 2009 3:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Pablo’s only hope would be Hanley Ramirez dropping out. Though he played a little on Thursday night.

Should include Detroit. They and Philly conspired the vote.
