There’s a tradition on some Net forums – I think 4Chan is supposed to be the originator – of making posts that start out with some plausible or interesting-seeming hook, but transition mid-paragraph to quoting those lines from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It’s sort of a textual equivalent of the Rick-Roll. Thus, “the Reverse Bel Air” here.

Eh

I felt like I was stretched pretty thin for fantasy leagues (that was my third). When I’m commish I like to try to keep all the owners active & felt I failed the MCC league. I’m sure once March rolls around I’ll feel different about it.

In defense on the move Bruce as been at KNBR how many years now? And he still can’t be bothered to learn the team’s history or chain his love of the 70’s era Cubs. That is more than a bit insulting. So rather than run him out on a rail they just relocated him to a different corner of the sand box. Sounds like a pretty fair and just arrangement to me.

enough to be disinterested in Damon’s glop. I don’t listen to him unless I’m stuck (painting and unable to change the station, etc.).

There was discussion here that he had offended someone’s wife over something, and that therefore the players wouldn’t talk to him any more. I’ve not heard players on his show, but maybe something happened. Have you heard him actually talking to players?

Why?

I don’t have to agree with someone that makes up dumb arguments or statements to get fools to call in to argue with him.

Anyway, that’s not what he’s doing. He has more dumb ideas than others there with dumb ideas.

And if the guy hosting the postgame show can’t talk to the players, I’m not sure how he’s going to know anything more about the team than the posters here, almost none of whom talk to players either. I guarantee he doesn’t get information from Krukow or Kuiper.

I don’t like Micyhaeweal Organ much either, but at least he knows Zito and some of these other characters; it might make him biased to talk about them positively, but at least he knows something. Hopefully he’ll move on from dumb statements to something offensive that will get him fired.

A player is a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has:

—more than 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues, or
—more than 45 days on a Major League active roster during the 25-man limit period (April-August), excluding time on the disabled list.

by PiKAgiant on Jan 6, 2010 10:25 PM PST up reply actions  

that’s what I’m saying—the big surprise was that he could play 3rd or 1st, aside from catching.

Right, i mean, the giants probably aren’t going to sign a catcher at this point… they could… but it wouldn’t be too farfetched that they put pablo at catcher, Uribe at 3rd… Derosa at 3rd, or outfield, and have Ishi have another shot at 1st, i’m very comfortable with him at 1st defensively

My roomie has one

it’s pretty awesome, especially if you have a mac computer too. It still works with a PC, but there are apps you can get that work with your mac that are just amazing.

No 3G, but if you’re anywhere that has wifi it’s basically exactly the same as an iphone. It’s really cool, I just prefer the older ipod i have since it’s bigger and works better for how I use it. The itouches are awesome, though.

I’d suggest waiting until after apple’s announcement later this month before you buy one.

It's possible

you never know with them. It’s only 3 weeks away. That may seem like an eternity, but if they improve the ipod 3 weeks after you buy one that would kinda suck.

Also, after they release the new ones the old ones are way cheaper.

I knew it

My office was shaking a little bit here in the East Bay earlier.

Win the inning.

I felt it, but just barely in downtown SF. I wasn’t even sure if it was an earthquake.

I was scared for a moment there

That Bengie Molina’s plane has touched down at SF International Airport, causing the ground to shake, because he’s back to sign a 2 year deal with the Giants.

Win the inning.

WHY ISN’T BOCOCK?

Meet my new son: Sundrendy Windster, on the Curacao-SF express (via Arizona).

I like thinking of Bocock like BO Cock. And according to M-W, BO can stand for any number of things:

1 back order
2 best offer
3 body odor
4 box office
5 branch office
6 buyer’s option

I don't know about that, to the groin.

I think we’ve all seriously underestimated the humor value in watching Cust run circles underneath routine flies. If he could somehow find his way into right field, I’d probably die laughing. A boon for all concerned.
