Sez so right here. If you want to know if that's a move that makes sense, you'd probably get a better answer from this stats dork.
It's going to be really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hard to root for Penny. Dude's kind of a putz. But he's almost certainly the best option for the Giants down the stretch.
Think of him like a Sidney Ponson who wouldn't need to start a playoff game or cost prospects.
Update: It's a done deal according to CNNSI. Yay?

Still don’t like the idea of a Dodger in the Giants clubhouse.

I think he hates the Dodgers. That’s got to boost him a little in your eyes.
Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

Penny as my fellow McCoveys say “low risk, nice reward” is what we are really getting and he is also not that old which is good. Also, getting Trevor Hoffman the former rockies player, can help out the giants b willy with his changeup thus making b willy one of the best closers in the nl.

Most any of the California microbrews are gonna be north of 6% alcohol as well.

Huh. Maybe it’s a placebo effect or something, but I definitely notice the alcohol from beer with taste more than beer without taste.
Anyway, if you’re looking for ethanol in the lab, the important thing is to avoid the denatured ethanol. 95% and 100% refer not to the appearance of methanol or other denaturants but the proportion of alcohol:water.

Nothing personal.
No, you are right I was too much of a dick when I called you genius… but yes, I am aware that the % refers to the amount of water. It’s just that to get the ethanol past 95% they have to add organic solvents and trace amounts remain…

no worries
My googling indicates that you can get out the last 5% of the water using a “molecular sieve” whatever that is.
But when I worked in the lab we had denatured ethanol at 95% and undenatured ethanol at 95%, depending on whether whatever you were doing could tolerate the methanol in the denatured alcohol. You can’t rely on the 95% stuff being potable.

well, I agree you go to know your labels!
The big 2 gallon jugs weren’t denatured…. we also had little bottles of 100%, which I guess would be considered denatured… the post docs in the lab told us which ones to swipe…

one time
me and two buddies were camping. We brought a handle of Parrot Bay (same as malibu) and over the course of one evening/night the three of us killed that handle – we were mixing it with pineapple juice and other juice and some sodas. The next day I woke up and I was pretty sure I had developed diabetes. The sugar almost killed me.
But actually I was totally fine but I almost never drink that stuff anymore.

hangover warning
Rum is made from fermented sugar cane, so the malibu and parrot bay stuff is really sugary. Too much sugar in the alcohol = hangover. Thats why I usually opt for normal Cap Mo to mix.

Hangover = dehydration. As long as you have some water along with your drinking you are ok.

I have long studied
hangovers. Much field research. And my conclusion is… nuthin. other than dehydration which is pretty obvious. And champagne gives me a headache… even WHILE I am still drinking it.
So far (and it too me nearly 20 years of drinking and hangovers to learn this) the best approach seems to be: Don’t go to bed drunk. Stop drinking, and switch to water for a few HOURS and sober up. If you have to pee 3 times or so since you stopped drinking alcohol, you are on the right track.
You’d think if sugar was the issue, then drinking stuff like X and Coke or 7-up or frozen margaritas or whatever… but I get plenty o’ hangover from straight booze or beer, or whatever. Mixed, not mixed, no matter.
I get the “stomach” type hangover, so YMMV.

It's on Broadway right now
and the Shark songs were en espanol, which I thought was pretty cool.
But I guess the local audience is played out, because they just switched everything back to English. I’m guessing they’re catering to the dumb tourist crowd.

The song itself, however, is not cheesey. Such an odd piece to have come out of the mid 80s. Too bad he decided on that aweful keyboard patch. A fiddle or harmonica probably would have worked better… Ah, but, that was the 80s.

In another lifetime I coached soccer, our girls travelling team was playing in a tournament with the championship game on a Sunday. One of our best players was from a very religious Mormon family they < cough > < cough > “left the decision up to her.” And then gave her never ending grief/stank eye/guilt because she chose to stay and play.

The infraction of the above is what led to the WS losses in 1989 & 2002. We were doomed to lose those series when the Giants hired Baker as a 1st base coach in 1988.

Am I the only one who thinks this?
Kevin totally looks like Scott Foley. Not the best pic for comparison, but look him up. Long lost brothers?
Insanity is just a state of mind.

Wilson and Frandsen clearly both shop at Douche King

Sabes
(who supposedly doesn’t read this blog) Just buried his face in his hands and shook his head no.
Now offering free hugs from Amy G.
Billy Ripken is still a douche bag.

I would prefer Harden to Penny.
But prefer Penny pitching over other options. It’s just that he is such a douche.

Oh. Never mind about the Harden thing.

I find it bizarre that not one single NL team put a claim on Harden.
Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

I didn’t think of it that way. That IS weird.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

Well we don’t really know who claimed Harden

The Twins did.
And since all NL teams get priority over all AL teams- because the Cubs are NL- we can deduce that no NL teams put in a claim.

Its kinda tricky. How do we know how accurate these sources are, since waiver claims are not made public. We know which ones the correctly call but we don’t know which ones are wrong

They might have thought that he was the only move that Metapod knows and just been like, “that move sucks – I’ll pass!”
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.
