Atlanta Braves Sunday, Apr 11, 2010, 1:05 PM PDT Kenshin Kawakami vs Tim Lincecum Mostly cloudy,rain. Animals marching two by two. Okay, put the hippos over there, and the gorillas over in section...hey, what's that giraffe doing to the foul pole? This is an ark, not a dating service! Well, I guess it's kind of a dating service when you think about it, but we're not trying to make freaky giraffoul poles here. Turn the hose on him, Lawrence. Winds blowing in from right field at 15-20 m.p.h. Game time temperature around two. Maybe three.

You guys think there's any chance this game gets played?
The Braves and GIants only have 2 off days that are similar and both have the Braves in the middle of a homestand in Atlanta and 1 of the 2 have San Fran on the road.
If it gets rained out today, I’d bet that the Braves and Giants wouldn’t play it unless it has big implications on October 1st…which it could.
"(Jason Heyward) is like the Grim Reaper -- you know he's going to get you, you just don't know where or when."
I think the Braves play in Colorado sometime in August and then the day after that series both the Giants and Braves have an off day. I think that’s the only other time other than a make-up at the end of the season.
Sometimes, there's a man...well, he's the man for his time and place.
We'll get this game made up after Buster joins the team!
But Chipper will be back too :-(

The knock against that was that he pitched his off day session on Friday. Boch should have left open the possibility at least.

Don't know how hard it is raining
Or how well the field drains, but the map in future on weather.com shows it clearing off around 3:30 Pacific time.

It's not obvious?
the cities are on the map, and the color of the cloud represents how severe the rain is. In this case, the worst is red, yellow is a little less severe, and green is less severe than yellow. The lighter green is more severe than the darker green.
It would be helpful if it wasn’t just a picture though. Usually they show a progression so you know what to expect over the next few hours.

Hi guys
Been lurking for a couple of years, decided to finally sign up because I got excited about having an UNDEFEATED season. I guess I jinxed it.
Been a fan of the Giants since 1989, then I moved to Seattle in 2001 for grad school. Living in Seattle makes it hard to watch Giants games. Actually I became more of an A’s fan since they are on TV more here than in the Bay Area. But this place helps me keep up. I got to go to two games last year, one at Safeco (with ZitLOL and WhitesidesLOL) and one in AT&T (with Timmy!)

The San Francisco Giants are off to a fairly strong start offensively, hitting .292 as a team with a 3.60 on-base percentage through five games, and are 4-1 atop the National League West.
But catcher Bengie Molina hasn’t been a big part of the offense, hitting .273 with no walks and no extra-base hits in his three starts, and the G-men are getting a .472 combined OPS from their catchers.
Top prospect Buster Posey, on the other hand, is 7-for-13 this season in Triple-A Fresno after hitting .315 with five extra-base hits in spring training.
Most see Posey as big-league ready, which begs the question — when will Posey get the call?
The Giants could find time for Posey at first base — he played there a bit this spring and is athletic enough to handle the position — but if his future is behind the plate, Molina is going to have to move over — right?
Waiting a few weeks into the season makes sense, as it sets back the service time clock for players when it comes to free agency, and if the club waits further into the summer, they could also set Posey’s arbitration clock back far enough to gain another year. But we’ll always come back to this: Posey is a catcher, he has to catch when he gets the call, so Molina has to go, or become the backup.
FREE BUSTER POSEY
But on the other hand, can Buster Posey match Bengie Molina's spring training heroics? It's debatable.

Better than 3 1/2 base-runners for every plate appearance? You’d have multiple Giants on every base. They could have parties and stuff!
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
How is this a rumor? It’s just speculation.

Eastern Virginia Medical School. Going to be paying through the nose given that I’m outta state. Planning on breaking the 300K student debt threshold!
My wife tells me it’s not the most exciting place in the worl.. Lots of shopping in Newport News (that’s where she lived; she describes it as, “a strip-mall from top to bottom”). Norfolk, at least when she lived there (mid 90s), was higher crime than elsewhere around there. Lots of touristy stuff in Virginia Beach/Williamsburg.
She says, “If you don’t have a car, you will be stranded and you will die.” So if you don’t already have a car, you probably should get one!

I don’t drive (lived centrally in SF, Chicago, and Dublin, IRE), but have come to the realization that I must learn (at the tender age of 26) in order to survive there.

Where were you? I’m off to interview back in Chicago next week, and going to take a look around Ravenswood (somewhere I didn’t see when I was there) because of proximity to the Metra up to North Chicago. Any insight about there too? (Sorry for mining you for info)
okay, you're safe
Uptown was the neighborhood I was talking about. I also spent some time on the border of Edgewater and East Rogers Park.
Ravenswood is west of Uptown, I think. I never really spent time there.
Uptown is awesome, though! Lots of great Vietnamese places on Argyle, near Sheridan.

I spent quite a bit of time in Rogers Park though because of a couple friends in Loyola. I really dug the area (actually, from the South Side, I really liked anything on the North Side, Gold Coast excluded).
My place was about halfway between the Loyola and Morse L stops. I liked the area, but not as much as Uptown. Argyle Street in Uptown and Andersonville, about a mile to the west, were my favorite parts of Chicago.

That threshold is so easy to break. And you got into an out-of-state public med school? That is an infrequent occurrence. You’re the first I’ve met.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Technically it’s “public-private,” in that they take 30% of their class from out-of-state (mostly CA) and charge them something obscene. I really dig the school though, so I’m fine with it. Still waiting on two CA schools, but I’m guessing long-shot at this point.
Yeah, I’ve got quite a bit of debt already from PH school and college, so it’s going to be fun not being solvent until age 40 or so. I’m just grateful for the low interest loans for those interested in PC in underserved areas.
By the by, where are you at cornball?
The great thing about doing primary care in underserved areas is that there a lot of loan forgiveness programs that you can apply for during residency. Very common for FP and there are some programs available in peds and internal, too. Pretty much everyone pays their loans back, though. Last I heard, the income-base repayment program – which is what everyone does now that poverty deferment is no longer an option – also forgives your remaining debt after 10-15 years of on-time repayment. That does suck that they’re charging out the ass, though. I’m at Creighton, which has the awesome distinction of having the highest (average?) tuition of any medical school in the US (48k this year, going up again next year).
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Yeah, my boss at the SFDPH did a great program like that. I was shocked that “underserved” included areas in desirable cities, not just Eastern Oregon / reservations in Arizona. I’ve been looking into loan programs, and I’m very excited by the opportunities available for people who want to work in public service positions.
I’ve heard great things about Creighton. Just wondering, does the percentage of Californians outweigh Nebraskans? A couple of people I know from CA were considering there. I’m also jealous of your music scene.
The music scene isn’t as good as Conor Oberst lets on. Not nearly as good. We have a class of 120. 15 of us are from California and there are 5 or 6 kids from Nebraska. A lot of Washington and Minnesota kids, too. It’s a good school and I really like the people. Not a big fan of Omaha, though.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
I lived with a kid for a year at Chicago who did nothing but whine about how subpar the Chicago scene was compared to Omaha, so it’s good to hear an objective opinion. Also, one of the best concerts I ever saw was in Ames, IA (Mountain Goats just playing acoustic after a soundsystem problem circa All Hail West Texas), so I just assumed the music scene got better the further west you went…
They really need to open more med schools in CA. It’s freaking obscene how many people go out of state.
Yeah, it’s crazy. UC-Irvine is opening a medical school, but it’s really the paucity of private medical schools that’s crazy. There are what three private medical schools in a state of 35 million? That’s borderline criminal. There are more in New York City (or Chicago) alone.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.

So I'm pretty new to watching Baseball.
In that, I’ve been huge on other sports for a long time but I’m really trying to expand.. How long is a game delayed for until they just push it back a day? Are they just pushed back a day? Explain the delays, basically.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
It depends.
If they know the rain will let up, they’ll just wait until it does. If it doesn’t look like rain is ever going to stop, they’ll try and find another day where both teams have a day off and it’s convenient for them. Sometimes they wait until the season is over.

2) Christopher Eccleston (simple, yet effective in portraying his character)
3) Peter Davison (What can I say, I like the ‘cricketeer’ look)
4) Sylvester McCoy (I’ve heard he’s a bit darker and more twisted, and I feel like the look captures that because he looks pretty creepy)
5) John Pertwee (the hair and the suits make for a good mad scientist look)
6) David Tennant (honestly, overrated, his outfits are dull)
7) Matt Smith (it sounds like his doctor has his own personality, but the outfit looks way too much like Tennant’s)
8) Paul McGann (not a fan of the Aesthete look)
9) William Hartnell (pretty dull)
10) Patrick Troughton (not sure about that quasi bowlcut)
11) Colin Baker (Willy Wonka from Hell)

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
they should call him up now
and sign him to a long term contract to avoid any of this super 2 bullshit
and if they're so obsessed with Bengie playing catcher
play Buster at 1st; he’s a shit ton better than Huff, or move Panda to first and play Buster at third. It really doesn’t matter, they just need to get his bat in to the lineup.
nooooooooooo
his value is much lower anywhere other than C
kick Benjie’s fatass to the curb
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
That's what I'd prefer
but they seem obsessed with fatty for some reason. Poseys probably our second best hitter, and his bat needs to be in the lineup. Catcher is obviously his long term spot, but playing him somewhere else, while catching a few times a week wouldn’t hurt.
Not a bad idea.
I do agree though that his value is highest at C. He would come in and no question be one of the best hitting catchers in the league. Whereas 1st tends to be a pretty prominent hitting spot that we could leave open for a big bat.

I’m generally in agreement but I think a lot of that hinges on Sabe/Bochy sticking to that plan and not just turning Buster into another bench-riding pinch hitter

There might be a game, but no pregame ceremony to fete the 2000 Giants. They’ve all left the building, or most of them. Bonds is gone.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

Retire Aurilia's number?
What the hell? Ritchie is a great guy, but not necessarily a retire-the-number kind of guy. Put him on the Giants’ wall of fame. But don’t retire 35. That’s an awfully low bar.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

What the HELL?
Baer can’t be serious.
Ah yes, the Giants retired numbers…
Mathewson, McGraw, Ott, Terry, Mays, McCovey, Perry, Marichal, Cepeda… Aurilia.
And why is he rushing to retire his number and not, say, Barry’s? That is just utter BS.

They wouldn’t retire his number. Just put him on the Wall of Fame.

"It's very cozy in the sin bin."-Randy Hahn
Team president Larry Baer said he is already making plans to honor Aurilia by retiring his No. 35 jersey and giving him a spot on the Giants’ Wall of Fame outside the ballpark.
"He’s a great Giant and we look forward to not only retiring his number but adding him to the Wall of Fame," Baer said. "Stay tuned for us honoring him for his tremendous years of service in the regular season and playoffs."

It’s just… ridiculous. Why would you retire his number and not, say, Will Clark? Robby Thompson? Matt Wiliams? Every other player ever who was a fan favorite who had one good year? (not implying the three I listed were such, just for the record. implying that aurilia is such.)
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
No
Love Richie and all the great years he had in SF, but no. Barry definitely. Kent maybe. Nenn maybe maybe. No one else from those teams.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
That’s gotta be some sort of misunderstanding. The Giants only retire a number if the player is in the hall of fame (and that’s a necessary, not sufficient, requirement).

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

Is MLB going to black out this game if it starts at 5:00?
The San Francisco Giants must win at least one World Series before I die.
No, if you live in the Bay Area or Atlanta.

I think selecting all cells, then hitting cntrl+f to search for “J7” might achieve what you are looking for.

that does work, though cumbersome for a complex spreadsheet. I was hoping that I could see them all in one view.

ah
well, then you could do a small vba subroutine that looks at the .value of a cell and iterates through the cells and changes their colors. Then you could see them.
Still somewhat clunky and cumbersome.

I’ve never tried to use conditional formatting on formula contents, but you might try that. The menu should walk you through that.

that would work too.
It’s just easier for me to write code…I forget that it isn’t for everyone.

by greatgiantfan on Apr 11, 2010 5:01 PM PDT up reply actions
easy way, but not exactly perfect would be to set up conditional formating. If the cell contains the reference that you are looking for, then change the color.
THen copy that format and paste the format to the entire sheet.
When you want to look for a different cell, you’ll have to change the format, and then copy it again everywhere.
Not perfect., but not sure how often you’re going to use this sort of thing. If not often, then probably just roll with something like this
"Being a McCoven is like being a member of the Green party. It’s powerlessness is part of the appeal." - oldjacket
"Quiet you, I'm starting a meme." - Me
yeah. I know. VBA is not usually what people are looking for when they want Excel advice, though. If they ask me at the office though, sometimes I find it’s easier to write them a program than to figure out how to do it with GUI.

lol…that should work.
I couldn’t think of something specific, so, of course my mind goes to knocking together some vba…it would do essentially that, but have the bonus of being more complicated.
