But is there something that we know about Roy Halladay that no one else does?

Dude does not know how to throw outside of the strike zone.
Or maybe it some kind of curse, he is granted this awesome pitching talent, but he always cannot beat a single random team. The Giants are that team.

I think it's simple
He pounds the strike zone. The Giants swing at everything. Ergo, we’re more likely to get lucky and run into one against him than most. It’s like that one situation where being an idiot actually leads you to do the right thing for the wrong reasons. Roy loves to throw first pitch strikes, and as has been pointed out here on numerous occasions, the Giants love to swing on the first pitch… and every other pitch after that.

This is a great summation
The Phillies should make the Giants chase everything out of the zone, because the Giants will. Throwing in the zone means that a mistake pitch will come back to haunt them, since the Giants do more with four runs than most teams do with seven.

Amateur research indicates
Here’s CBP according to a google image search:
Here’s AT&T:
That ball looked like it was hit right around where CBP is 350-360 feet. That would be about the same distance in AT&T, except for the fact that AT&T has a big ol’ wall.
I don’t think it gets out. Reasonable minds may disagree.
Fair enough. I think CBP has some height to it too, but I’ll concede that I don’t remember a lot of balls like Ruiz’s going out.

No idea, but Ross is the second person to hit two homers off of Halladay in a game this season. The other is Corey Hart. Also he joins Jeff Kent, Rich Aurilia, Will Clark and, uh, Benny Kauff as the only Giants to hit two homers in a playoff game.
And the first-ever 8-spot hitter to homer twice off Halladay! Isn’t that an amazing stat?!? Aren’t you amazed?!?

OT: The Padres' season in a nutshell:
It’s Really Over
by Friar Fever on Oct 16, 2010 11:23 AM PDT
On Friday, October 15th, 2010, I was finally confronted with the reality that it was really over. I headed out to Petco Park to purchase a few copies of the Padres 2010 Photobook (which for 5 bucks is an AWESOME deal). I got off the trolley at 12th & Imperial and headed towards the gates of the Park at The Park. At about 9:53am, as I was walking through the Park at the Park, I heard a noise. Not a very loud noise, but it was mechanical. As I continued my walk, I saw the most heartbreaking sight.
There was a bulldozer in the sandbox taking down the “BELIEVE” sand sculpture. I stood there watching this machine take out pieces and flatten out the dreams and aspirations of an entire season. All that remained at that point was the Friar and the word “BELI”. The clouds began to release a light sprinkling. As if the Baseball Gods were crying through the clouds. Even they didn’t want to see what was happening. I felt helpless. I got the urge to run down those stairs and jump in front of the dozer like a man protecting an aging tree. This was our treasure, our beloved symbol of hope. I was too late. I walked away shamed that I could do nothing to save it. I went to the team store, bought my Photobooks and walked outside knowing I’d have to go back the way I came. When I returned to the sandbox, it was gone. All that was there was sand. No Friar, no bulldozer. No sign of life. It was in that moment that I’d come to the realization that the 2010 Padres season was officially over.

Momentum comes in second only to postseason experience on the list of lazy bullshit cliches that every sportswriter pretends are incredibly important.
Momentum is overrated. But experience does play a role albeit a small one. The Giants are over that hump now.

That reaction shot of Bochy in the dugout when Wilson fell behind 2-0 or 3-0.

I like the way he dresses. I see a lot of ballplayers that wear those Ed Hardy shirts and I’m sorry but I think they are the most obnoxious articles of clothing. He wears normal shirts and just dresses well. I don’t know why I notice this I just do and I like it.

Oh
I don’t know who I’d put up there, but, much as I love my son, I think it’s time to demote him out of the leadoff slot. He needs to move down in the order. Maybe put Ross or Fontenot in there?

If anything, I’d move everybody up and stick him in at 9th.
But I personally wouldn’t make a move.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
Yeah I'm not sure what the fix is either
But man, if you were an opposing pitcher, would you throw him anything but breaking stuff below the zone?

I just want him to stop chasing the breaking ball off the plate or bouncing.
He is still the best option for leadoff, I dunno who you would replace him with.
We could really use one of his 4-5 or 3-4 games.

Burrell LF
Torres CF
Sanchez 2B
Uribe SS
Against RHP, that is. Fontenot had a good game, stole a base too.

OT
I’m trying to transfer to SFSU for Fall 2011. I would have to live on campus because I really don’t want to try to find an apartment and pay utilities and such. My parents really can’t afford to pay the $15,000+ a year for me to go to school up there. I can’t really qualify for any cal grants and usually don’t get offered those kinds of grants for people who can’t afford it as my parents make too much money. I’m looking into scholarships but realistically I’m going to have to take out a student loan. I still want to be claimed as a dependant but I’m confused with how the student loan process works. I’d be ready to graduate around Spring 2013 and want to defer payment till after I graduate but my mom was saying something about me having to not be a dependant or something. I don’t know can someone explain this to me?

Screw you Flannery.
Well, if you claim yourself as Independent
You might be able to get more back after your taxes (if you’re working) and you aren’t required to report your parents’ income in your financial aid application which in essence should raise your chances of funding. But when I went to SDSU, FAFSA wouldn’t let me claim as an independent unless I was over 25 years old or was emancipated from my parents even though I claimed independent on my taxes, was working, and paid for everything on my own.
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
I don’t want to be independent because I want to keep my health insurance. I’m still under my parent’s and I’d prefer not to be uninsured.

Ah I see
I’m sure your best bet is consulting with a financial counselor at SFSU. It would be difficult to get a cal grant but I’m sure a loan is highly doable as many of my friends were in the same situation and were able to get loan offers. And I’m not sure what kind of student health SFSU offers but SDSU had some pretty decent student health care while I was there. Perhaps you can try to see if SFSU offers anything if push comes to shove. Sorry I can’t be of much help then.
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
not exactly sure what you are asking...(none of this is legal advice)
Are your parents reluctant to sign for a PLUS loan? Or are you reluctant to get one? Or does someone have credit/bankruptcy problems?
Sorry our state has cut back on all that stuff… is that $15k for living costs b/c you won’t live at home?
Finally, make sure your health insurance will cover treatment around here. I’d imagine it’s not a problem, but if that’s your prime motivation for sticking on their policy you should check.

I live inthe Los Angeles area so living up there is a given and I think it would be easier to live on campus. We just don’t know about student loans because we’ve been fortunate enough to not need them. I go to a local csu campus and we pay under $5k a year for tuition. I live at home and have my PPO medical insurance under my parents. It’s about 15K or so with tuition and room and Board not including any books or other things. I’m pretty sure my health insurance would cover me up there. It’s Anthem Blue Cross PPO so I can see pretty much whoever I want as long as they accept my insurance which most places do. It was mostly my mom saying that I might get more money if I wasn’t claimed as a dependant. I’m sure they’d cosign for me, they have excellent credit.

yeah your insurance s/b fine
I think you’re stuck on the financial aid (i.e. grants), but if they will take out the loans for you I think PLUS loans are unlimited.
I haven’t dealt with this stuff for a long time, but as long as you and your parents will sign papers there are no end of banks that want to loan you money. Just remember: student loans aren’t mortgages, they aren’t discharged in bankruptcy, generally. And defaults on them (not saying you will of course) follow you for a long time.
Good luck! Sorry for not remembering where you were, I now remember you asking for advice when coming up for a game.

Anyone else feel iffy about Ross hitting 8th again tomorrow? normally, I’d be fine with it, but with Torres going the way he is, who’s gonna hit him in? the pitcher? Sanchez, if Ross is lucky enough for a leadoff hit?
I’d vote to swap Uribe and Ross, but sadly, this isn’t a democracy with Bork
If it ain't broke...
With the way the team is playing, I think mixing up anything would be a mistake. Then again, I’m the guy that ate an entire box of Honey Nut Cheerios because Dirty had the No-No going last year and I didn’t want to jinx it by stopping eating…

Jayson Stark column:
“Once the trading deadline went past [and he was still in Florida], I didn’t think I was going anywhere,” Ross said. "Then I heard the rumor the Giants claimed me. So I looked at their roster and I was like, ‘They don’t need me. I’m sure they’re probably just making a strategic move. No way the Marlins won’t pull me back.’ "
Instead, though, the Marlins just stepped out of the way and let the Giants take him.
“They gave up nothing,” Ross quipped. “And they got nothing.”

It’s probably going to come down to one of two or three semi-big contracts having to go to stay within the ~$95-100M budget. Having to choose between Huff, Burrell and Ross… Ross is gone unless one of the other two very quickly signs elsewhere.
The Giants are already going to be on the hook for ~$82M for the 5 starters, Wilson and Affeldt, Rowand, Sanchez and DeRosa.

it would be a shit scenario where we would lose either Huff, Burrell or Ross, because if we can’t keep them, then a big FA is totally out of the question.
Fuckin’ Zito and Rowand’s contracts are killing the team. Literally. They amount to 1/3 of the payroll in straight up sunk cost (well, Zito is worth maybe $5mil/yr, Rowand is worth nothing AND takes up a roster spot).
With all the Big 4 starting pitchers still under team control (or in arb), this should be the time we have money to burn to buy big name FAs and make runs year after year.
But Aaron Rowand. And Barry Zito. I don’t know which is worse.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. True leadoff hitter, Torres bats 2nd. speaking of which, with Torres poor showing on breaking stuff, there’s an outside chance he may turn into Pablo next year if he can’t fix it or lay off. Sadly, truly, but that has to get fixed.
without torres hitting like he did this year, we’re sunk.

they only way to guarantee this team makes the right decisions in the offseason, is to keep winning and hauling in money, and hopefully the FO spends it rather than keeping it.
we can’t go through this window of historically good, practically free (in baseball money) pitching without getting a WS championship. We’ve already wasted 2 years of it, and didnt even make the playoffs until this year.

ideally,
we’d get to the point where FA’s would take slightly less money to come to SF. But in a Boras controlled world, i doubt it.
players can’t swap agents anymore so boras can get them more money and more years, though im sure that won’t stop them from finding ways around it.
i fucking hate Boras, because of him, our team is taking a huge hit financially. he is fucking responsible for Zito and Rowand. i wont nag on sabes b/c he has made alot of good deals too.
but boras is a fucking piece of shit shark that fucks franchises out of their money for crap players

that’s what I’m saying. even with Rowand and Zito and dragging the whole team/franchise/city in the mud with their contracts, unable to go over budget, they should be dropping $120 mil a year right now. the window of young pitching is only open so long (though with Timmy, Cain, Sanchy, Willy, etc these guys could haul in wins like crazy and may only get better until they’re 34- its just the injury risk will be greater)

Yah, with money for bats that foursome would be predictably good for 75 starter wins per year. A 10-10 fifth starter and 10-15 for the bullpen would mean a hell of a lot of postseason play.

This was the 322nd start of Roy Halladay’s big-league career. And it was only the third in which he allowed two home runs to a right-handed hitter. One of those games was just last month, with Milwaukee’s Corey Hart doing the trotting. But the other came 11 years ago, when the legendary Benny Agbayani did the honors, way back on June 7, 1999.

Goodbye Joe Morgan?
Jon Miller & Joe Morgan: It looks like after 20 years in the booth together, the Sunday Night tandem of Miller & Morgan could be broken up. Bob Raissman of the NY Daily News writes, "Both Miller and Morgan’s contracts expire after the Series. Neither who are both working the ALCS on the radio has yet to sign a new deal. Nor, according to industry sources, have there been any serious negotiations." This is the portion of the post where you rejoice over Morgan’s potential departure.
nice
Neither who are both
Does the money from ESPN factor into Jon’s deal with the Giants? As in, will they have to pay him more to work weekends he otherwise would miss?
I’d be more excited about Morgan if I weren’t afraid of which stellar TBS or Fox genius will replace them, but then again I almost never watch the ESPN game anyway.
