seriously

its not cool to show a dunk because its a dunk. a 2 point play by someone who makes that play 9/10 times and changed the score to 34-28 in the 2nd quarter. how dramatic!

So I noticed earlier that in the divisional era, every Giants World Series has been against the AL West.

They lost to Oakland in ’89 and the Angels in ’02.

If Texas comes back, the Giants would be 0-3 against the AL West in the divisional era.

I don’t know if I can count that one, though. The Rays weren’t around at the start of that 20 year period.

Which, I guess by that standard, puts them in the same boat – having lost to the Yankees and Blue Jays both!

Not a single poorly considered, mistyped asinine remark.
But by the end of the game, as I sat in front of yet another free birthday beer amongst the raucous crowd in the Tempest, the Giants had made it all seem worthwhile. I am satisfied with today. It was a Happy Birthday.

He also did about as good a job as you can do in summing up the Giants in one paragraph:

Two years ago, every single position player in the Giants’ starting lineup was playing for some other team (including Posey, which is kind of cheating and kind of not). Meanwhile, four of their five starting pitchers have been around since 2007, and the other just came out of their own system. Quick, try and figure out what the Giants have struggled to do well in recent years.

thought this was funny
# Tim Wakefield was on hand to receive the Roberto Clemente Award, given to “the player who best combines outstanding skills on the baseball field with devoted work in the community.” They said on the broadcast that 2010 was Wakefield’s eighth time being nominated for the award. 2010 was the 18th year of Wakefield’s career. That seems suspicious. What kind of off-the-field shit was he up to in the other ten years?

I have to admit, I was worried that the World Series with its ridonkulous ticket prices would bring out so many new/casual fans to the Big Phone for Games 1 and 2, and that it wouldn’t have the same rocking vibe as the season-ending game against San Diego, or Timmy’s 14K game in the NLDS, or Matt’s Tuesday afternoon start in the NLCS. But on radio and TV, it sounded ROCKING there tonight. Yeah, scoring 9 runs and winning helps. Glad I was wrong regardless.

Um What
According to major-league sources, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria was intent on making Guillen his next manager. Talks, sources say, progressed to the point that there was discussion of executing a trade that would send Guillen, who has a year left on his contract, to the Marlins for 20-year-old outfielder Mike Stanton, who hit 22 home runs and knocked in 59 runs in just 100 games as a rookie this season.

After Guillen met with chairman Jerry Reinsdorf late in the season and agreed to return to the Sox in 2011 — but not getting a desired extension — the Marlins talks died, sources say.

Is Jeffrey Loria insane?

Just for fun, I plugged the names of some modern players into the player creator.

‘Clayton Kershaw’ generated a #4/#5 type pitcher.

So did ‘Tim Lincecum.’

‘Russell Martin,’ well…‘sucked it’ would be kind.

‘Buster Posey’ generated a high-contact, high-speed, low-power catcher. I laughed.

can someone give me a pointer on new baseball games?

I got an X-box earlier this year, but I don’t know what to do with it.

I will probably get either a football or baseball game for christmas or something…. should I wait for MLB 2k11 to get the 2010 Giants? Or can I download them anyway? Do I need to pay for Xbox live to download teams? Is the current Madden good or should I got back a year or two??

When this .sig was awaiting the Final Sabean Apocalypse, I never once in a million years suspected it would be a "good" Apocalypse. Bengie... Don't let the door hit you IN YOUR GIANT ASS on the way out!

There are ususally roster updates throughout the course of the season. I don’t own MLB2k11 (MLB 10: The Show on PS3 is my drug of choice), but I would imagine they should have a roster update at least through the waiver deadline.

Don’t know about postseason rosters.

Whether you need the subscription depends on how they have it set up. MLB 10: The Show delivers updates when you go online to play, but with free online play, that doesn’t matter much. I haven’t played a baseball game on Xbox 360 in maybe 4 years, so I’m really not sure how Visual Concepts have handled that of late. If you have to connect to the MLB2k10 servers to get the update, then you’re probably boned, sans subscription.

Usually you’re able to get DLC without a subscription. Roster updates might be the exception that proves the rule.

Madden I know nothing about. Sorry.

Before I go to bed

Excerpt from the Jayson Stark column that just went up on ESPN.com:

“You could feel it,” said their center fielder, Andres Torres, almost breathless as he tried to capture the emotions of this night. “It was something different — the energy. It was something that almost pushed you to the next level. Mentally, you’re like, ‘Wow, this is really happening.’ You come here, you hear the fans, and you’re like — you know that feeling in your arms, goosebumps? — you get goosebumps. It gets you going.”

Two years ago, Torres said, he was playing Triple-A baseball in Iowa when floods descended on Des Moines and his team was forced to play games with no humans in the seats.

“Can you imagine playing baseball with no fans?” he said. “You go out there and you don’t feel anything. But this here — this is the opposite. You feel the energy. It’s unbelievable.”

Particles, baby. Particles. Pauly Mac may just be onto something.

I really hope Guillen doesn't spoil this

That guy has been a mess ever since we signed him. For casual fans who don’t know what’s going on, they will assume all San Francisco is doing is feeding their players HGH from a trough. I don’t think it is likely because this team is so likable, but I hope he doesn’t taint it.

Also, I bet the Giants knew of this and kept him off the roster because they had to. Bochy displayed too much faith in Guillen to switch like this in the playoffs… I hope not though.

I don’t think anyone will pick up on this. Guillen managed .2 fWAR with the Giants. He did not contribute in any meaningful way to them reaching the playoffs. Nor is his steroid use the Giants fault.

Guillen is involved with hGH, and people continually use the word “steroids”. And yet, most of those people probably feel like they’re entitled to an opinion on either or both of those substances.

Also is pretty fucking stupid when it comes to certain aspects of baseball. Last night for example he said “I don’t know why people think the giants offense is so bad they have lots of great guys that can put up RBI numbers”.

He also said immediately after that bengie molina is a legit middle of the order threat and has “had many seasons hitting over .300 with 20 home runs and 100 rbi’s”.
