Freaking Out About Division Rivals

In 2001, the Giants didn't make the playoffs for a lot of reasons. The starting pitching was inconsistent, there was a revolving black hole at third base, and Barry Bonds was only on base 52% of the time. The team won 90 games, but it was a bitter finish. And I spent the entire season worrying about the Padres.
The Padres didn't even finish above .500, but their organizational depth chart woke me up at night, and gave me emotional wedgies during the day. The '27 Yankees had nothing on what was to be the 2004 Padres:
C - Ben Davis (Power-hitting backstop for the next decade!)
1B - Tagg Bozied (Good gravy, what power!)
2B - Jake Gautreau (Newly drafted middle infield monster!)
SS - D'Angelo Jimenez (Former Yankees top prospect!)
3B - Sean Burroughs (Ten-time batting champion! Maybe!)
LF - Bubba Trammell (They should lock him up long term!)
CF - Mark Kotsay (As long as he stays healthy!)
RF - Xavier Nady (Dude's name starts with an X! An X!
The young pitching was similarly terrifying, with neo-Maddux Brian Lawrence, Wascar Serrano, OBP-master Adam Eaton, and some goof named Jake Peavy. I remember thinking, man, if only 50% of the young players develop, the Padres will be a dynasty. And all that talent would have been capably managed by strategic mastermind Bruce Bochy. The only saving grace was that the Giants weren't in the AL West, where teams would have to deal with a Kotchman/Kendrick/Wood/McPherson infield starting every All-Star Game until 2015.
My point is this: Sometimes prospects don't pan out. Thank you for your time. You can PayPal mccoveychronicles@gmail.com if you feel obligated.
Wait! I had another point. The reason for this trip down early-decade Memory Lane is that I didn't learn. I kept a very detailed Excel spreadsheet of how many eggs other teams had, and I was surprised when the omelet would fit in my shirt pocket.
Years later, the Diamondbacks started amassing talent like there was a shortage coming. Every position had five-tool goofs who were also translating the tools into results. An outfield of Chris Young, Carlos Quentin, and Justin Upton? An infield with Chad Tracy and Conor Jackson at the corners? A couple of offensively capable catchers to rotate in and of the lineup? They had so many good young players, they could afford to send entire minor league affiliates to the A's for Dan Haren. The worst part: They were already good, winning the division in 2007. This decade was going to be ugly.
While I was soiling myself thinking about Justin Upton and Chris Young combining for 1,000 steals and home runs over their careers, the Dodgers were lactating impact players. Even worse, the Rockies were building one of the best offenses in the league exclusively with homegrown talent. Most nights, the Rockies are able to start eight homegrown players. Eight! To find eight Giants worth starting over the past thirty years, you'd probably have to put Jack Clark at shortstop.
The Diamondbacks still have a lot of young talent; it isn't time to relegate them to the Nady/Bozied abyss. But my other, more relevant, point is this: Worry about yer own damned team. Seriously. I'm through getting caught up in prospect lists and under-25 superstars-in-the-making, forecasting doom for ten years in the future. If the Diamondbacks do become an elite team, they'll probably use guys like Stephen Drew and Justin Upton, but they'll have to supplement the roster with guys who weren't even close to the team picture a couple of years ago. The next contending team probably isn't going to have a lot to do with Micah Owings or Chad Tracy. I did a lot of worrying about a specific collection of talent for nothing.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go think about the 2011 infield (Posey/Villalona/Noonan/Crawford/Sandoval) for a while. They should really rip the place up, especially when Madison Bumgarner is yet another perennial Cy Young candidate. Mmm. That's going to be a tasty, tasty omelet.
And, yes, I'm quite aware that this post will be responsible for the three home runs hit by Chad Tracy tonight.

Crawford never hit more than 7 home runs in the minors Villalona had 17 home runs at the age of 17-18.
Not that there aren’t issues with Villalona, but that’s a pretty bizarre comparison in my opinion.

Cilantro is interesting
It has a chemical that most people can’t taste – but for people who can taste it, it’s awful and tastes like soap. So, it’s a very divisive ingredient.
Personally, I can’t taste the soap-stuff and I love it.

Savory Japanese pancakes. The one I had was heavy on the cabbage, and doused with teriyaki and japanese mayo. It sounds utterly bizarre (it took me several visits to this restaurant before I worked up the nerve to try it), but I am now totally obsessed.

Totally. The joint downstairs in my building is one of those snooty (but great) creperies and though they mainly focus on “dinner” type savory crepes, they have a couple of dessert crepes, and the most popular is the Nutella.

IF what was going on constitutes defamation/libel (which it absolutely did not, by the way), that is way outside the authority of a cop. Torts are private matters and would be dealt with through civil litigation, if at all. (Again: NOTHING that was going on constituted anything actionable.)
So I’m guessing that the cop is a friend/spouse/relative of the “reporter,” and was basically trying to use his cop voice and cop authority to influence people into stopping doing something TOTALLY LAWFUL just because it happened to annoy a friend/spouse/relative. I hate that crap. Abuse of his authority.
NOBODY DID ANYTHING IN THE LEAST BIT WRONG. But because she got in a snit and got a cop to badger Grant about it, that’s a whole topic we can’t even bring up? Grrrrr.

No, even to have initiated contact with Grant, point out that he's a cop, conduct an interrogation
is totally reprehensible. I don’t care that the guy’s demeanor was pleasant — he still used his position of authority to influence someone who was doing something totally lawful and peaceful.

Ms. Willie Maize is EXACTLY right.
Walrus, I love you and all, but how on EARTH can this be interpreted as anything other than a cop — who went out of his way to identify himself as a cop and start asking questions — using his cop status to intimidate someone who had bothered his sister/“escort”/informant/dealer/neighbor. Can of Corn is exactly right. If he didn’t MEAN for Grant to know he was a cop and asking a bunch of nosy questions, he would not have SAID he was a cop and start asking a bunch of nosy questions.
Let’s not be coy here: if this were really just a complaint by someone whose feelings were hurt (or whatever her deal was), then SHE could have written Grant an email on her own, or failing that, the cop could have just made the complaint when he first emailed Grant. But he didn’t! He identified himself as a cop in the email and then wanted Grant to get back in touch with him live on the phone. This was more than just lodging a complaint. This was obviously trying to use one’s position as a cop to mete out some intimidation for which he had no authority.

that the whole purpose of identifying himself as a cop was to ensure a response from grant. Abuse of his authority? Sure. But a very minor one.
From my reading of the story, there didn’t seem to be any intimidation going on. He just wanted to make sure he was able to talk to grant.

I look at it this way
If I were to write a letter to the editor of our town’s newspaper about something important (I’ve written in about baseball before), I would probably include the fact that I am a teacher in the community. Why would I do this? For no other reason than to ensure that my words carry a little extra weight. This type of thing happens all the time. Titles are importrant to humans. To me, it’s about on par with Clinton’s haircut. Sure, it’s an abuse of authority and was something he should not have done. But it’s not something to get worked up over.
If it’s binary to you, that’s fine. I just can’t really look at this as something sinister.

A teacher can’t arrest you. Big difference.
There’s a reason that there is a whole area of law dealing with abuses under color of authority (and not, for instance, identifying oneself as a teacher). It’s an issue. I’m not getting worked up over it in this particular instance, but it is kind of ass-hatty to use one’s status as a cop to get someone to stop doing something lawful.

Forgive me, but that's an absurd analogy.
First of all, there is no comparison between floating an idea out there into the marketplace of ideas and letting happen whatever happens, versus getting someone on the phone and forcing a 1-on-1 contact in which the cop does what cops do: ask questions, make judgments, imply that the other person is doing something questionable (right or not), and so on.
Second, the use of “I’m a teacher” implies that you’re learned and studious, and maybe your opinion should carry more weight. (It’s a cheap rhetorical trick, but you’re aware of that.)
“I’m a cop” is NO F"ING WAY intended to imply anything like yours. It is unquestionably intended to imply that what he has power, the other person is now being investigated for possible wrongdoing, that at the very least what the other person was doing is serious and questionable enough to involve a cop.
To deny that cops in one-on-one contacts are inherently coercive when they start throwing their cop identity around is to deny earth-based reality. I mean, for heaven’s sake, look at the results: it got totally lawful expression squelched, and got Grant scared enough that a perfectly legal and valid and hilarious fanpost got deleted this week. I’m perplexed as to what you are not seeing here.

I'm not as invested in this discussion as you are
But I do owe you a response, I suppose.
I can not speak for why Grant and Xanthan stopped using the Steffes meme, but I think highly enough of both of them to feel that they would have stopped had it been a grocery clerk making the call to Grant. I could be wrong, of course. But that’s how I view it.
I disagree however that “I’m a cop” has nothing to do with “I’m a teacher.” Both are important authority figures in the community. Saying “I’m a cop” doesn’t necessarily mean “you better do what I say because I could make trouble for you.” Particularly when that cop is from another part of the country. Saying “I’m a cop” shows that you put your life on the line for the community. It’s similar in that saying “I’m a teacher” shows that you also serve the community. Is it a perfect analogy? No. But neither is it absurd.
I feel that he identified himself as a cop simply to ensure a phone conversation because while a cop could arrest you, are you seriously suggesting that Grant was afraid of being arrested or cited by a cop from Wisconsin? I would think that you would have a higher opinion of Grant than that.

OK, but think that through.
So, he wants to ensure a live conversation with Grant. Why? Why not just an email complaining about whatever he/JS is annoyed by, and let that be that. Understand that there is NOTHING wrongful (neither criminal nor civil) in what was going on.
So, they didn’t want just an email to register a complaint— they wanted to effect change, they wanted free and legal speech squelched, not just complained about.
And what method did they use to try to influence actual change? Playing the cop card, coercing a live conversation, and a conversation that had the obvious tones of interrogation (“You know Xanthan? You sure seem to have a lot of interaction with him in the comments…” etc.)
It’s not nearly as benign as you suggest. I don’t love it when cops park at fire hydrants to go into a store for lunch, but that’s fairly minor considering they probably would hear about any alarm long before a fire engine would need to use that hydrant. But doing personal favors for their friends/relatives/hookers is absolutely beyond the pale. This is a republic, goddammit. No fiefdoms, no castes, rule of law rather than rule of man in a uniform.

I said "tones of interrogation" and on what planet is what the cop did not coercive?
Seriously. What isn’t coercive? The cop’s involvement brought about change, and not only that, but it got an absolutely hilarious (and lawful) fanpost deleted two days ago! How on earth does that not qualify as compelling a choice (the definition of coerce)??? And what the cop was doing was absolutely in the category of interrogation— how is “do you know Xanthan?” not interrogation (I sat through a year of Criminal Procedure in law school and have had lots of subsequent dealings in this area; trust me when I say that what was described meets the legal definition of interrogation. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion of whether it meets the lay definition, which I do think it meets).
