Post-Game Recap: Giants keep rolling

The Yankees can keep all of those fleeting moments of transient glory they call "championships." Those things don't last. If the Yankees really wanted to make their mark on the game, they'd sprinkle fringe swingmen and fifth starters across both leagues. Brian Burres, Carlos Villanueva, Pat Misch, Clay Hensley, Matt Palmer...and that's not even getting into the fringe bullpen arms, a dozen of whom are in Toronto's bullpen right now.
That's how you make a difference. You can keep your championships, New York. The Giants are going to put their stamp on the league for a lot longer. They're kind of like this guy, but impregnating the league with fringe arms instead.
Ahem.
The Giants won again, but I'm not sure how they did it. Which isn't to say that they eked out a win -- they just scored nine runs quietly, if that's possible. They walked, they hit singles, they hit doubles, there was a home run...it was as if they were an actual major league offense. It was just so danged efficient.
Fun facts: Did you know that this was the first time that Bengie Molina has reached base five times in the same game as a Giant? Hard to believe, but it's true. Good game, Bengie.
Other fun fact: Last year, Juan Uribe didn't get his fourth walk of the year until June 7th. It's just a wee bit early, but there's a chance that Hensley Meulens is, in fact, made of magic. The Giants should ink him to a ten-year deal, just in case.

I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.

True fact: 95% of shows start declining by the 4th season.
The Office is no exception.

House was great the first season, still solid the second and third and then it lost track somewhere after that :( I do feel like most shows really can’t sustain greatness for a long time though, especially if they’re formulaic like House and not quite an outright procedural
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I still think 30 Rock and The Office are good this year. P&R and Community are just killing it though.
If you haven’t started P&R just go to the second season.

But I still find it funnier than either Community or P&R. I only started watching 30 Rock this season but it’s also funnier than either of those two.

Talking about taking a vacation this year. Since my Sister and my Aunt are both currently at Boston and my mom is going there in May for a few months, we kicked around the idea of going to Boston for a couple of days then head up to Niagara Falls / Canada for a few days. Yes I know it’s just gravity bringing pressurized di-hydrogen oxygen to a lower position, creating kinetic energy. But Chics dig that mirite?

It’s a good plan for a rebuilding team; give has-beens and never-weres (boy, that’s a weird conjugation) playing time, and a few of ’em are bound to put up decent numbers that you can turn into a meh prospect from a contending team missing a piece.

the only reason i like Damon Bruce, Ray Ratto etc… is because they’re willing to write or talk about stuff that is off the wall and instead of just a recap of a game or some story about a player
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?

It’s one thing to talk about something different, it’s another to be arrogant and think you must be right and everyone else must be wrong.
As if that’s not bad enough, both are guilty of (and Kawakami is an even worse offender) writing and saying shit they know is wrong, but they just want to create a shitstorm so people will talk about it and get ratings.
Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW
people have different perceptions of arrogance, and we ourselves here are being equally arrogant saying this about his work as well… I honestly would get sick of the chronicle if it were without him, i can’t take all of the same shit about, oh the giants will come through, they’ll be good, i want diversity. And to be honest, i don’t care as much as everyone else here in that sense.
He’s done his job and he’s done it pretty damn well to have people here bitch about him, that’s the point

had a well known quote. “Most people don’t know why they drink. I do, I drink to get bagged”.
If you want someone who is worse than any of these people (Ratto, Urban, Radnich, Rome) listen to Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. He is by far the worst media person except for perhaps Skip Bayless.
The Giants offseason moves - "meh"
Proud father of 2-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, who could do whatever he wants to do.
At first listen I would have agreed with you, however upon repeated listens I have come to rather appreciate his points. His style may be a little hard to tolerate, but I find myself agreeing with him more often than not. He makes a few points which I think are especially poignant:
-Rings don’t mean everything
-Why go to the games when you can watch from the comfort of your home in HD?
etc. He challenges conventional wisdom a lot of the time and cuts through the mindless caveman-speak that often dominates sports talk radio.
Thing C
I agree with this. I dislike Cowherd’s style but, his substance is a little different from standard sportstalk
Mark DeRosa knows that it's hard to sound intelligent with a Jersey accent.
I am used to Cowherd
During my adolescence in the Portland area, Colin Cowherd was the ‘wacky sports guy’/Jim Rome wannabe on the local NBC affiliate. He was such an assclown, I was truly shocked to find he’d gotten a national gig on a network I used to respect- you know, when Dan Patrick worked there.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
+1 about Skip Bayless he is the worst sports analyst ever
Also I can kind of tolerate Cowherd-he is ALOT better on sportsnation (although maybe that’s because he’s just background noise for Michelle Beadle). But on SN he even called himself “C-Man” LOL.

Yeah and the story was awesome. Originally he turned it down, because he did not want to bump back Lopez’s show, especially over circumstances of his split with NBC. It was not until Lopez called him personally to say he had no problem moving back and wanted Conan to take the job, that Conan accepted.

They put up a strong effort, in my eyes, to be deemed band of the ’00s. Unfortunate that my favorite release of theirs, Series of Sneaks, was released in 1998. I still gotta go with Do Make Say Think (yes, over Radiohead) for the most consistently solid band of last decade.

Not going to doubt the merits of Tool, but my definition of a “best band of the decade” requires that the band / person had to have released more than 2 albums within that span.
Hence: LCD Soundsystem, Broken Social Scene, The Arcade Fire, The Avalanches, Sufjan don’t get considered, whereas Tom Waits, M. Ward, Outkast, Spoon, White Stripes, Destroyer, New Pornographers do (these were off the top of my head).

My pick might actually be Animal Collective, even though I didn’t like everything they released in the 00s. But they released a lot and they almost always did something interesting with it, even if it was terrible (Danse Manatee/Campfire Songs). And of course, they released some great stuff too (Spirit They’ve Gone, Sung Tongs, Feels, Strawberry Jam, MPP, Fall Be Kind, Panda’s Person Pitch). Ridiculously prolific and for the most part, fairly high quality.

No, he was right
If you told me the giants would go 6-1, I would assume it was something like:
Lincecum, Giants 2, Astros 0
Zito, Giants 1, Astros 8
Cain, Giants 1, Astros 0
Sanchez, Giants 3, Braves 1
Wellenmeyer, Giants 3, Braves 2
Lincecum, Giants 1, Braves 0
Zito, Giants 4, Pirates 2
how the hell did they win 88 last year?!
well, it was really gary thomasson--the great, giant, fan

My question: Will Freddy Sanchez have more weeks on the DL or home runs this year
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.
Will he see his shadow and spend six more weeks on the DL?
