Right on the money about both Mays and John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil
I'm a Giants Fan, but I'll always be rooting for Matt Downs
Where is Dan Burkhart going to play ?
Doesn’t really have a personality, unfortunately. Also, my understanding is that he’s kind of jerk. Can’t cite anything on that, but I’ve heard the rumor more than once.
Wasn’t he famous for refusing to stay in the same hotel as the rest of the team?

Ripken staying at a different hotel had to do with trying to get fans away from his teammates so they aren’t distracted. He started staying at different hotels toward the end of his streak. He may still be a jerk, though.

I grew up in Baltimore and was an O’s season ticket holder until 1997. There were a lot of stories about Cal being a dick. There were the Kevin Costner rumors and others. There was never true antipathy for Cal, but he was not the local hero most made him out to be. Much of that was due to the fact that the team sucked, but there was also a perception that he was a selfish player, and particularly toward the end of his career, many felt that the streak was about him and not the team. Mainly though, he is just devoid of personality and that explains the bulk of it.
From hearing stories about Billy Ripken in the clubhouse,
it sounds like he got all the personality and Cal got all the ability.

Every time I see him all I can think of is
“F#&K Face”
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I heard about the Costner rumor from a local Bay Area sportscaster (whom I will not name because that person is still working here).
Still the father of two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
And yet for some reason
writers treated him like god.
He was a pretty average hitter with the exception of three or four years. Of course that’s very very good for a shortstop.
I posted a comp of Trammel and Ripken in another thread earlier today. One a first ballot hall of famer the other on the outside looking in. Their graphs look pretty similar.
Here it is again for your convenience:
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
GIS for "Cal Ripken Douchebag"
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Doesn't he kind of play this up in the commercials
Makes himself out to be kind of like that to some fans in a couple.
At least he can laugh at himself.
In his defense, not sure if there was another player out there that more people wanted to talk to and see during the last part of his career. He was credited for saving baseball after the strike by some for goodness sakes and the media hordes were crazy at that time. I’d imagine you would have to be a jerk sometimes for your own sanity.
Roy Halladay just woke up in a cold sweat. He had a dream about this rodeo clown with a stick...
The weird thing about Cal is that for a guy who’s so famous for doing everything the Right Way, I think he might be slightly underrated. Best SS between Wagner and Rodriguez.
Bwah!
That’s can’t be right. Ark Vaughan was awfully good. But, yeah, I guess Cal is right there.

To be fair, Werth is good at baseball. Like Garret Anderson or Randy Winn, he has a broad base of offensive skills and a solid defensive game that makes him capable of playing center in a bind.

Philly's gotta be #2 in the NL
New York is so big even splitting it makes the Mets the biggest, but the Cubs and Dodgers have to split LA and Chicago, while the Phillies get most of Pennsylvania (LOL PIRATES) and a lot of New Jersey.

Giants baseball: We're stupid enough to WIN that (TM)
The Dodgers have to split LA?
That’s like saying that the Mets and Yankees have to split NYC with the Phillies. The distance between the Bronx, and Queens, and Philadelphia is basically the same as the distance between Chavez Ravine and Anaheim Stadium. Having lived in both LA County and Orange County, and still having relatives in OC, I can tell you that hardly any fans drive from LA County for Angels games, but plenty of OC residents are huge Dodger fans. Despite what Moreno has been trying to do with the name change to LAA, most fans haven’t bought into it yet.

A big market team should have the most capital/resources, and so, ceteris paribus, I think it’s logical to conclude that they should dominate.
this, I think, is what he was trying to say
he could been clearer about it though.
Of course, all three of those teams share their market with an AL rival. Philly, Houston, Arizona and Atlanta, meanwhile, don’t have to compete with anyone in their home areas, so by his logic maybe they should have a leg up as well.

Yeah I’ve seen bread recipes and brownie recipes, haven’t tried any of them. 98.9% of the time I drag out the crockpot it’s for chili, I’ve made a fish chowder and some other stew type dishes.

What I want to know is if anybody is brave enough to use it the way it was intended to be used: plug it in in the morning, leave it on all day while you are at work and come home to dinner ready and waiting in the crockpot.

Jason Heyward will set a new single-season record for triples on ground balls to short! Buster Posey has gained 145 pounds water weight and now has a slower time to first than Bengie Molina!

Venusaur because there isnt any other grass pokemon that can touch it in r/b (eggsexutor maybe?)

How dare the Yankees
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Derek Jeter can admit it now: He was definitely getting steamed at the New York Yankees.
While Jeter tried to keep talks quiet as the sides negotiated, the Yankees went public with suggestions his increasing age and decreased numbers should result in a pay cut.
At one point, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the 36-year-old shortstop should explore other options.
“I was pretty angry about it, and I let that be known,” Jeter said Tuesday after finalizing a $51 million, three-year contract that cut his salary. “I was angry about it because I was the one that said I didn’t want to do it. I said I was the one that wasn’t going to do it.”
"I was angry about it because I was the one that said I didn’t want to do it. I said I was the one that wasn’t going to do it."

But the masochism of going to Alex is astounding
Alex Smith makes mistakes because he’s not that good.
Troy Smith might make mistakes because he’s not that good, or he might be making mistakes because he’s inexperienced. The 49ers are not going to the playoffs this year.
This really isn’t a hard decision, Singletary.

I like the pistol because it still lets the running back have a running start while allowing the quarterback see more of the field than under center.

LOL Singletary
The 49ers went to Green Bay having three wins in their past four games with quarterback Troy Smith. McCarthy said he viewed the 49ers as a formidable opponent.
“You really have to point to the quarterback,” McCarthy said of Troy Smith. "I think he’s given them a spark. He has run around and made some plays, and that’s really probably the difference between them winning and losing early in the year.
“There’s a lot of very positive components of this football team. They’ve got a lot of very good players. But I would have to say the difference is probably the quarterback. I think he has sparked them.”
Can’t see what every1 else sees
The offense has actually looked alive when they have allowed him to be turned loose.
His mobility would extend out plays that Alex Smith would have collapsed in the pocket under the pressure.

True
but also Troy Smith isn’t being allowed to use the entire playbook. Singletary before MNF said that they have not opened up the playbook for him.
How do you expect a quarterback to excel when he only has half his plays. Then the defense becomes wise and you are screwed.

in other words
Troy Smith, as of today, does not have more pocket presence than Alex Smith, when it comes to avoiding the rush. In fact, he has significantly less.
If you’re going to say “oh well, Alex just rolls right then throws it out of bounds while sometimes Troy will hang in there and make a play”, 2 things:
1) Alex obviously doesn’t do that all the time, because he completes his passes at a MUCH higher rate than Troy.
2) A 100% chance of an incompletion is better than a 50% chance of a sack, 40% chance of essentially no gain and a 10% chance of a big play.

There's so much fail here I don't even know where to begin..
You do know what modicum means right? It means a little bit..
1) There’s so many other factors that go into a player taking a sack than just pocket presence. Pittsburgh has given up the 9th most sacks in the league. Would you say Roethlisberger has poor pocket presence
2) Alex Smith has played in 50 games. Troy Smith has played in 19.
Alex Smith career completion percentage: 56.8%
Troy Smith career completion percentage: 53%
Wow! What a difference!
3) On 3rd down and 10 Troy Smith may take a sack but I know he’s at least going to try to make a play and get a first down. Alex would get scared and throw a 2 yard check down and trot off the field.

when our youngins reach their FA years….do you think Savvy Sabes can learn the Jedi Mind Trick and tell every one else “these aren’t the players you are looking for”….also works because the Yankees are the evil empire….Cashman just says “these aren’t the players we are looking for, move along, move along.”

A setback has led to an opportunity. Lofgren signed a free agent contract last week with his hometown team, the Giants. He said they told him he will start the season at Triple-A Fresno as a starting pitcher.

I see two
He was good as a 19 y-o in A ball, and then as a 20 y-o in A+. K/9 above 8 in both cases. But then he had two bad years in AA, followed by two bad years in AA.
Interestingly, he was somehow ranked as the #71 best prospect by BA after the 2007 season, in which he had a 4.58 ERA with a 7.7 K/9 and a 4.2 BB/9 in AA. So I guess scouts really liked him.
His 2007 BA scouting report
http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/prospects/rankings/organization-top-10-prospects/2007
Says his fastball ranges from 87 to 93 (which is a very big range, actually – 80% of the league is between 87 and 93), has a good slider, and also throws a curve and changeup.
Basically a Scott Barnes type. Will turn 25 in a month.
I wouldn’t have traded anything for him, but on a flyer — why not? Maybe we turn him into a lefty reliever and flip him at the deadline for a high-risk/high-upside hitting prospect or something.

Yeah, I like it. Especially since currently our top-2 backup starters are both relievers (Runzler and Affeldt).

Let’s further assume that Sandoval’s 2011 is more like his 2010 than his 2009. Finally, let’s assume that Belt won’t be ready by mid-season, and Huff will hit .250/.305/.410, and Tejada will play like a 47-year-old, and Rowand is Rowand.

I’m not American, so I wouldn’t really know anything about whether that’s an issue for US shows, but yes Top Gear here is on the BBC, which has no ads and is publicly funded (not government run). Although, from what I remember, there are also very harsh rules on the sponsorship of shows so it wouldn’t make a big difference were it on say Channel 4.
To many Americans, ‘publicly funded’ is pretty much synonymous with ‘paid for with stolen money and having a government stooge on set and overseeing every aspect of production’ .

In this line.
Pull your kids from school and get them Twitter accounts. Let them learn from the people!
I'd say Rush is more progressive rock than classic rock.
Use of funky time signatures, etc.
Though frequently played on classic rock stations because of when they were most actively playing/touring, Rush is clearly an entirely different category than, say, Led Zeppelin.
Kinda like saying “I love cheeseburgers, but meatballs in my spaghetti sucks.” Both uses of ground beef, but completely different genres.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
I really like some occasional Zeppelin, the Who, The Clash if they can be considered classic rock, Hendrix, Pink Floyd etc

I took a history of rock music class in college
wherein the prof pointed out the hypnotic chord structure of pretty much every Doors song, particularly in the bass line.
Not the only answer, but it justifies the drug trips and, in your case, sleepy audiences. I can’t ever listen to the Doors while driving at night for similar reasons.

Saying the doors, the beatles, and pink floyd are the most overrated bands of all time is like saying Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, and Sandy Koufax are the most overrated baseball players of all time. Collectively they made some of the best music I know. And Pink Floyd doesn’t have to be about drugs, I listen to their albums “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” quite regularly without being high. Both the Doors and The Beatles could have done much more if there careers weren’t cut short.

At first i was like, I dont think ive heard too much of them. He loaned me a couple of their albums (The Wall, DSOTM). I just could not get into it. Turns out that I did know a few of there songs, but I didnt even like those. They just basically put a name to a face of songs i already thought sucked. At our next jam session we listened to it while getting baked… and only then did i find it bearable.

9:30pm: The Rockies have expressed interest in Young as a second baseman, according to Tracy Ringolsby of FOX Sports (on Twitter). Young last played second base in 2003 and the Rockies just acquired Jose Lopez as an option at second. The Rockies have a crowded infield, with Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki, Ian Stewart and, now, Ty Wigginton. Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News confirms (on Twitter) that the Rockies and Rangers are talking and says the Rangers would pursue Beltre if they trade Young.
That would be a pretty good IF
Lopez/Wigginton – Tulo – Young – Helton
Stewart would probably be part of the deal. Yikes.
This is looking more and more like its going to be a two team division. Of course, I’m not stupid enough to count the Padres out.

remains flawed
"I dont always hit home runs, but when I do, I prefer World Series winning home runs"
technically I was right. He was named to the AllStar team this past year, even if it was mistakenly.

Proud Parent of the palm tree outside of AT&T Park. Yeah, that palm tree.
But not that he’ll be too broken up about it. This would have been his seventh straight appearance
So, somehow, while being wrong, I was also right in that he is a 6 time (2004-2009), and current (named to AL team mistakely) AllStar.
But while being right, I was also wrong. And this is a conundrum that will affect this world far after I go to sleep tonight.

COL is the one team that scares me for 2011 in the NL West, but they are so streaky that there’s a 50-50 shot they come up short, again. Still, they cold be good for 90 wins. But after all, they’ve never won the division.
the Bums figure into all this too, but not as heavily. I see them as a 85-87 win team in ’11, less if injuries prevail and Uribe holds up his deal to kill rallies.

if you mean bizarre by th fact they have re-signed De La Rosa and that’s about it, yeah. they were an 82 or w/e win team last year and haven’t upgraded at all, though i think talent-wise they are more like an 85-even 90 win team

WTF are they getting this money?
Young still hast 3 years and $48 million left on the contract.
They just threw $8 million at a statue, making me love Burrell more and then there is the Tulo deal on top of the Helton deal (which should have cautioned them about a Tulo 10-year deal).
Did they find gold in them there hills and not tell anyone?
*not sure what their payroll is and too lazy to look. Young has massive contract though.
Roy Halladay just woke up in a cold sweat. He had a dream about this rodeo clown with a stick...
Payroll last year was 83mil...
No idea what they’re up to now.
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
well, the Tulo deal doesn’t start for 3 years (sound familiar? Ryan Howard, lol), De La Rosa, not sure what he was already paid, they let some guys go but gained $8 mil on the statue (willingham?)
all in all, they are probably around $90mil

Right now they got 11 players under contract for 68 million. Then they 5 arb player that will get at least 7 million, that’s going to place them at 75 million. Then the remaining 9 players at .6 million would make their payroll ~ 81 million

I love that I actually got a response to that…
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
…until he plays every game in Nationals Stadium (or w/e its called) and we see the true Werth. don’t get me wrong, good speed, good fielder, good arm, good gap hitter, but I just don’t think he has as much overall power as CBP makes it look like- his SLG might stay static, but he’ll be hitting more doubles than HRs with Washington.
yes, he hit an oppo field HR at AT&T, but my point stands.
The ultimate curse of the man who eventually invents the time machine is that it will only be able to make one trip, and when he gets back EVERYONE will have a better idea for what to do with that one trip than what he actually did.
Proud Parent of the palm tree outside of AT&T Park. Yeah, that palm tree.
yep, 46 doubles to maybe 30 HRs? i know about the doubles because Torres might have caught up with him had he not had the appendectomy.
but what i meant overall was that we’ll see even more doubles than HRs, and that playing in Wash will diminish his HR power but increase the doubles even more. he would have been a great fit at AT&T with thos doubles #s like Torres is, but waaaay to expensive

This one's for GiantsPain
Among this year’s free agent outfielders, Werth’s skills rate among the best in a number of areas. He’s hit 87 home runs and stolen 53 bases over the last three seasons. The only other player to go 80 and 50 since 2008 — Werth’s soon-to-be former teammate, second baseman Chase Utley.
Werth is one of 10 hitters to average at least 29 home runs and post an OPS+ of 130 or better since 2008. Werth’s OPS, adjusted for playing much of the time in Citizen’s Bank Park, is 132 in that span, meaning he was 32 percent better than a league average player.
http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/13477/many-elements-to-werths-free-agent-value

Imaging if you could lock up a 5 WAR player for 18 mil and you were almost certain the guy was going to be that. Imagine a 5 WAR player in place of Zito
$18M doesn’t grow on trees either. Investing a large portion of your payroll to a player who is going to be around the 40th best player in baseball (estimated based on where WAR ranked him this year) each year isn’t smart. Exceptions might be if you already have a really talented roster and that one player would push you over the edge, or if you’re the Yankees and 18M doesn’t mean anything.

that’s it, the worst player was only worth a -2.1?

Then again, being that WAR is an accumulated stat, you’d have to play far below the league average for an extended period of time to accrue a -2+ WAR.

Maybe, but he sure looked like a potential ace coming out of college.
His first couple of years have that classic “power lefty desperately trying to get pro hitters to swing at his unhittable stuff” look, but by 2010 he had deteriorated to Alex Hinshaw territory. Seems unlikely he’ll ever be able to figure things out, but getting the most out of power pitchers is what the Giants excel at, so why not.
He was seriously rushed to the majors. I don’t know if that’s what messed him up, but I don’t understand what the Tigers and Marlins were thinking.
- The year he was drafted, he inexplicably got 10 IP in the majors and was crushed.
- The next year he pitched pretty well (but not great – 7 K/9, 2.9 BB/9) in half a season between A+ and AA, then for some reason got called up to majors, and again was crushed (5.63 ERA, 5.27 FIP)
- The next year he was traded to Marlins, who, for whatever reason, had him start the year in the majors. His FIP was good (3.9), mainly thanks to a fluky low HR rate, but he was still walking a guy every 2 innings, and his ERA was in the high 5’s. He was sent down to the minors in August, but then immediately called back up in September as a reliever.
In 2009 he got injured, and since then he’s been unspeakably awful (and yet somehow was again called up in 2010, despite posting a near 1:1 K/BB in AAA).
He’s miscast as major-league depth, no question. But I really like adding him on a no-risk/maybe-reward minor-league deal as a development project. If he doesn’t pan out, no harm. If the Tidrow brain trust can do more with Miller than with Willis, then he’s like a free draft pick. Win-win.

Yeah, I just don’t understand what’s wrong with Detroit/Florida. I mean, it’s one thing to try to fastrack someone to the majors, and it’s another to refuse to send him back to the minors even though he keeps getting crushed.
I’d like to know why the Sox came up on him so quickly. Doesn’t Curt Young have a reputation a la Dave Duncan of being great at reclamation projects?

“Look at all these idiots here kissing Sabean love [sic] just because the Giants won the Series! The only good Sabean did this year was fix all the bad he had already done. Yay for him. He still sucks.”
They might be Giants...but they are definitely WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

Wait, what....
The Brewers requested a Braves player in exchange for Matt Cain…? Is there another Cain that plays for the Brewers already that I am unaware of?

Henson says letting Martin go was a gut-wrenching decision for GM Ned Colletti.

Must be a typo. I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to read "gut-stretching decision. ‘Cuz, y’know. Martin eats a lot. He’s fat.
The South shall rise again! And it will have a tender, flaky crust!
He actually just has IBS. He says that about every decision only because it’s technically true.
