PrintThe quote of the day (or maybe the quote of the year). On Baseball Prospectus today the Jay Jaffe article, discussing off season activities of several teams, including the SF Giants (and possible J Damon landing site)...

"GM Jack Zduriencik is one of the sharper tools in the shed. Elsewhere in that shed, Brian Sabean continues to pound screws into bricks with a garden rake."

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
This would be perfect for the Fanshots section.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Assuming that the discussion in this thread remains relatively light, I have a hijack!
Hijack: Songs that it took you way too long to realize were about sex.
My answer: Van Morrison’s Moondance.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

Why isn't Sabean held accountable for leading the Giants into many years of mediocrity???

In all seriousness, this is a hard question. “Little Black Backpack”? I mean, I did most of my music-listening when I was in high school and college, so it’s not like sex was far from my mind.

Heard an interview with Gene Simmons once wherein he opined that all rock-n-roll is about sex or the pursuit of sex. By that measure, he felt that “I want you to want me” by Cheap Trick is the best Rock-n-Roll song ever because it distills the entire thing down to one simple, clear metaphor free statement.
Your bench player is our #5 hitter!!!
Believe it or not, “Afternoon Delight.” I was about 8 years old, and I’d sing it out loud in the car all the time while my mom presumably bit her lip to keep from laughing. One day I asked her, out of idle curiousity, “Mom, what is ‘afternoon delight’ anyway?” And she must’ve had her answer all prepared ahead of time, because without missing a beat, she told me, “Lunch.” It was maybe 12 years later, in college, that I heard the song again and said to myself, “Hey!”
Classic Buffy scene:
Buffy recounts getting over a school girl crush by crying all day and listening to “I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls. “Of course, I didn’t know what it was about then.”
5 minutes later Willow suddenly blurts out: “that’s what that song’s about?”

listen to She Wants Revenge. A lot of their songs talk about sex and the music is pretty good.

Pandora played “These Things”. I liked that, then got their first album. The subsequent stuff I’ve heard hasn’t been great IMO. And actually, they’re one of the few bands who I like on first listen then progressively grow to dislike. Just not enough substance there.
Yeah I heard All Wound Up on Sirius
then I listened to some of their other stuff (like Animal Attraction) IMO they’re a decent band but I wouldn’t go out of my way to see them in concert or anything

“too drunk to fuck” sounds like it would be about a lack of sex, so I’m going to have to disqualify your song,

but I just found out that Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins is about Abortion

Meh, I’d rather just get a hershey’s bar & a jar of peanut butter.
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Best thing ever
Peanut butter sandwich with half a bar of Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate inside. It’s like some sort of godly peanut butter cup sandwich. And I’m not sure, but I think it was meant to be; half a bar of chocolate fits on a piece of white bread waaay too perfectly.
My wife's invention
Graham cracker sandwish with peanut butter and Hershey bar as the filler.
In essence, it’s a S’more with PB instead of marshmellows and you don’t need a campfire.
They’re really good.

“You always need your best fielder in right field, and the only guy who really has a chance to do that against the standard of Randy Winn is Schierholtz. Schierholtz can really play right field. There’s no doubt about that.”
