FanShots - McCovey Chronicles - In play: Out(s)
I am an intense Giants fan from New York, and can't stand the way Bochy handles this team. First of all, Nate should never miss a start. For a team that can't hit, this guy is the best pure hitting outfielder they have. That only should make it a no-brainer. Enough with Lewis already, he can't field and has 15 rbi's. The outfield should be Velez, Winn/Rowland, and Nate period. The world knows Edgar sucks, but our manager does not!. Start Uribe for most of the games and see what happens. Garko is an everyday player, since when? Since we got him! Platoon the guy and he might pay some dividends. We all know Molina needs to be moved, just for the fact that he clogs the bases, and he is not a number 4 hitter. Pablo batting cleanup is the right place for now. Nate seems like a pretty good choice for third.
With the pitching we have ,we all would have success managing this staff. This idiot finds a way to screw with it. Why does Affeldt get to face only one batter at a time, his numbers are great against both sides. Let him pitch to get his rhythm back. This move I loved, Righetti goes out to talk to Sanchez after the home run by Castillo; how about after the dropped ball by Lewis or after he falls behind Castillo. That is when Sanchez was upset! I know I was.
Look, they might be good enough to win the wild card, but this passive idiot is no help.

It seems like hijacks are occurring a lot this year in Grant’s posts. The content is solid for the first two hundred comments or so, then someone mentions a tv show, food, or book and it all goes down hill. I’d feel bad about it, if I felt like I had anything to do with it. But I always provide quality content.

I really liked it.
I will attempt do do this without spoilers.
The cinematography and CGI was impeccable, definitely par for the course for a Peter Jackson film. I was a bit worried at the beginning, and was concerned that the documentary style would last for the entire movie, but it was a good way to introduce the plot. The acting was just fine, and I found it humorous that the main character really reminded me of the agent on Flight of the Conchords.
Plus, the vaporizing guns were flipping sweet.

If you are new to the site, I understand your frustration. If you have been reading for a while, it’s pretty clear that most of these points have been brought up and discussed extensively. Thanks for your thoughts, but they are something that everyone is already tired of talking about.
Next time just say something like, “Pumpkin pie is gross”, and you will get many relevant responses.

Baseball
Team leaders in on-base percentage:
1. Sandoval .378
2. Lewis .354
3. Velez .339
4. Sanchez .333
5. Rowand .327
The Giants are last in MLB in team OBP at .310. For comparison, I think league-average OBP is around .335 (I’m not sure how to look up this stat). So, Fred Lewis should continue to play for this team. Also, his defense isn’t as bad as it seems… I think you’re overreacting to a few bad (really bad) plays.
Most of the rest of what you posted I agree with.
