I like new threads
I also would like to propose to Grant and the mods that no McC thread should exceed 1250 comments. Just saying…..
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
Next time I’ll make a new one. I assumed that Grant was going to make a full post though, so I was waiting.
Last time i ever do something like that!

Juan Uribe has made some awesome plays the last two nights. Oh, and Matt Cain hasn’t given up an earned run in 21 innings. But by all means, show us that cool dunk in garbage time of the T-Wolves game!

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!

What kills me is, the Dodgers were going to their first NLCS in 20 years RIGHT AS I WAS MOVING TO WISCONSIN.
They couldn’t have, you know, done it a couple years earlier when I got to actually go to the playoffs against the Cardinals?

I had my hopes up slightly that season because we were smacking the snot out of the Cubs in the NLDS and the Brewers were in the playoffs.

Here's how it is:
Today is my birthday. I had to work, and it was the crappiest day in recent memory – got in early, put my head down and was doing shit until almost seven… to give you an indication of my business, I didn’t have the time to so much as log in to MCC today. 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.
Also, MATT FUCKING CAIN.

So I’m going to San Francisco on January 14 through the 17th. I’m very excited to be going. Any suggestions about what I should do out there? Things I need to see.

Jeff Sullivan has more astute observations about a baseball game in a few paragraphs than Tim McCarver does in 150 innings of yapping.
"I could hear the angry MCC cacophany in my head."--Oldjacket, 7/4/10
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.
"I could hear the angry MCC cacophany in my head."--Oldjacket, 7/4/10
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.

Today was the greatest day of my life. Lunch at Momo’s with BruteSentiment and his father, who invited me to the game. Had the mahi mahi, served with polenta, ratatouille, and heirloom tomato relish. Fucking incredible. Seats were great, game was great. Screamed along to “Lights.” Recorded my section doing the UUUU REEE BAY chant on my phone. Two guys behind me loved that I kept score and asked me to fax them a copy of my scorecard after the epic eight-run inning. I’m gonna redo it in black ink and clean it up because rught now it’s a mess. A lady Kevin/Brute knows gave me an orange rose, which I held all night.
Here’s my scorecard, rose, and orange pencil:
Walking back to the car we had fans screaming and cheering and high fiving us randomly. Entire streets were blocked off for pedestrian traffic. A band set up camp on a corner near Tres Agaves downtown and played tunes while people danced around them.
When I got to the ballpark I couldn’t stop smiling. When I married baseball last year we had a private, small ceremony. We celebrated our union in Scottsdale last March. Today felt like our big Hollywood wedding, pomp and circumstance and loud noises and even good food. I wore orange and panda couture.
I love baseball and today baseball loved me right back.

"I thought he was going to punch me and I was totally accepting of it. I was planning a reason to thank him if he did." Brian Wilson on Buster Posey
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?

"It's too LATE to stop now!" - John Lee Hooker
I want to address something really quickly. Ian Kinsler was not “unlucky” that he did not hit a home run in the fifth inning. He simply did not hit the ball far enough. Sure, an inch further and it bounces over. But an inch shorter it bounces below the top of the wall and right back to Torres, who slowed up to play the carrom anyway and Kinsler would be held to a double. He may have not been short by much, but still, Kinsler did not hit the ball far enough for a home run, plain and simple.
Furthermore, if you want to complain about the ball bouncing back into play, that’s not bad luck. It’s just physics. The ball hit the corner of the wall and had backspin (which is the only reason the ball went that far in the first place). Recreate the conditions and it bounces back into play every time.
Getting 99 out of 100 on a test doesn’t make you unlucky. It just means you didn’t do everything right.

I used to play Triple Play ‘97 on the PC. The key was to change every player’s batting stance to an open stance and then try to hit home runs, except for Barry Bonds, who homered in his regular stance.
And also Shawon Dunston, who had no power in that game at all.

Triple Play '96 had the same thing.
Open stance, push up.
But it only worked for players who had actual power.

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.

My mom talked with Steve Perry in line for food last night. She wanted to take a picture, he politely said that wasn’t something he was comfortable with. So he then said in a non-creepy way, “How about a kiss instead to make up for it?” She said, “Actually, let’s split the difference. Read my son’s blog when you get a chance. Google ‘mccovey chronicles.’” He said, “Deal.”

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.
In end, screw Jose Guillen.

Amazing: absolutely amazing.
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.

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”.
