Giants/Rockies Series Preview

PrintLook at this guy:
Time Magazine was going to do an issue on the "Most Punchable Faces in America", but production was delayed when staffers kept punching their computer screens when this picture came up.
Just...just look at that guy. My god. There are 4,000 chin hairs per square inch. After the apocalypse, keep that fact in mind. That kind of goatee would keep a baby warm during the nuclear winter. Of course, then the baby would smell like Todd Helton. But that would make you less attached to the baby, so it wouldn’t be as hard to use it for sustenance. I mean, I’m talking about a really bad apocalypse. But then you’d be eating something that smelled like Todd Helton. Why can’t the Rockies make anything easy?
The Dodgers rivalry gets most of the press, and rightfully so, but the Rockies are zooming up the hatred charts. The seed of hatred was planted right around here, dutifully watered around here, fertilized right about here, and harvested to yield a nourishing, black fruit of pure hatred here. A black fruit of pure hatred tastes kind of like cilantro, in case you were wondering.
They wear purple. A professional sports team. Purple. Let that sink in for just a second.
And then there’s that way they build their team: through the "draft" and "international free agency", using their "player development system" to "develop homegrown players." What in the hell is that? I don’t know where they get the nerve, but it makes me sick. Would it kill them to sign a mid-30s free agent whom no one else wants and start them? What a bunch of cliquey snobs.
Probably the truest test of a rivalry is how the upcoming makes you feel. Nervous? Anxious? Jittery? A little stabby? Then it’s probably a legit rivalry. Man, I hate when the Giants lose to the Rockies. So it’s probably best if they don’t.
Hitter to watch
Well, not this guy if you can avoid it:
Just look at that guy. And you can’t even see his new, horrific pageboy hairdo in that picture. Helton looks like a guy who would dance at a Collective Soul concert, occasionally leaning over to the guy next to him and saying, "Man, I love grunge!" Simply awful.
No, the hitter to watch is anyone not in the starting lineup. Because while the lineup the Rockies might field if their real starting eight were injured in a freak Twister accident..
2B - Eric Young, Jr.
SS - Jonathan Herrera
1B - Jason Giambi
LF - Seth Smith
CF - Ryan Spilborghs
C - Chris Ianetta
3B - Melvin Mora
RF - Matt Miller
...might not be a better lineup than what the Giants run out there, it’s a little silly that it’s close.
Pitcher to watch
Ubaldo Jimenez. Because he’ll be on the bench, where I hope he stays for every Giants/Rockies game for the rest of his Rockies career. Dude’s good. If there’s a pitcher to watch this series who will actually, you know, get into a game, it’d be Jhoulys Chacin, who combines the arm of Billy Sadler with the control of Billy Sadler. Chacin is a hard thrower who struggles with his command, so teams that wait him out can make him throw a ton of pitches. So obviously, the Giants should just look for that first-pitch fastball. That might be the best pitch they see all at-bat.
Prediction
If the Giants were to take two out of three -- a big, crazy if -- that one loss would make us fill up with rage, and we’d pull hamstrings in a rush to blame and point fingers, totally ignoring the fact that a series win would complete a pretty fantastic homestand. Anything less, and the rage and blame would probably nourish us until the next hot streak, though.

I promise that my adopted Giant, one Zach Wheeler, will not shoot anybody.
Nowadays I get such a weird feeling before Zito starts. Usually I have an expected outcome with whatever pitcher we have on the mound which can make my pregame mood a definite bad or good. Zito somehow manages to mix all my emotions which makes for a weird day up until the start of the game.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

I hate the Rockies more than the others. In fact last year I started hating the Rockies so much that I thought maybe I hated them as much as the Dodgers. But then, to test that theory, I watched a Dodgers-Rockies game. (I know. Ewww.) Turns out it really wasn’t even all that close. That fucking purple dinosaur does generate a lot of hate, but not as much as I thought.

Really, there are the Dodgers, and then there’s everybody else WAY down the list. I actually like the Rockies, and I’m impressed with their “player development system” and their ability to “develop homegrown players.” I know Grant was being sarcastic, but they really do seem to have a handle on the concept of constructing a team.

I guess, to be fair, in the upper minors the last two years, he’s walked 3.7 and 4.6 per 9, which aren’t awful numbers, but aren’t indicative of great control.

It bears mentioning that in 8.1 IP on Wednesday, Lincecum allowed fewer baserunners (4) than Jimenez did during his no-hitter (5). I can only give so much credit to a no-hitter that’s talked up as, “After he walked those five guys, he totally dominated.”

Dear Purple Row
http://cbs4denver.com/investigates/the.denver.club.2.664687.html
The call girl, who spoke exclusively to CBS4, said that on numerous occasions, women from the prostitution agencies were called to attend late-night parties at The Denver Club, a plush squash and social club located on the top two floors of a downtown skyscraper.
She said the women were paid around $2,000 to have sex with numerous men. Asked who the men were, she said they were “business guys, rich businessmen.” She said participants in the parties snorted cocaine and had sex throughout the club.
But the woman said downtown lawyers, money managers and businessmen were just part of the clientele. She said “doctors … general contractors … professional athletes” also patronized the prostitution service, which usually charged about $300 for an hour of sex. “Nuggets basketball players … Arizona Diamondbacks … Rockies baseball players” and some Denver Broncos were customers she said.

I've always had this thought about Youk and Helton being symmetrically opposite versions of the same guy
They are both bushy-goateed 1st basemen, high average/high OBP guys…so similar yet so different:
Youkilis: AL East, Helton: NL West
Youkilis: Right-handed, Helton: Left-handed
Youkilis: Bald, Helton: Boyish head of hair
Youkilis: Jewish, Helton: Christian
Youkilis: funny batting stance, Helton: boring batting stance

Statement game for Zito
This is a huge game for Zito’s effort to establish himself as a true Giant.
Team is coming off a gut-wrenching loss and has had an off-day to dwell on it. So far, the 2010 Giants have been pretty resiliant, but this is a great test for them.
If Zito can put up some zeros against the toughest opponent in the division and the offense doesn’t get all out of sorts like the did during LA/SD, it’ll be a nice statement game.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
Zito is out of this world

Well, basically, fanshots are meant to be “quick” posts, designed to share a link, an image, a video, or a quote. Fanposts are meant to be longer, more in-depth posts and generally contain original writing and/or ideas. Fanposts have to be at least 75 words (I think it’s 75), but fanshots have no minimum.

If there’s one hitter I can’t stand to watch the Giants pitch against in the National League, it’s Todd Helton. Pujols makes me a bit antsy, but Helton makes me want to claw my face off. Because every time he steps into the box, he’s going to foul off about fourteen pitches, and odds are he’ll still beat us somehow.
Even if the offseason, he has to go and sign a team-friendly deal so he can retire with the Rockiess… as if there was any danger otherwise. Just to spite us.
Plus, I’m pretty sure that David Eckstein is some sort fungal growth that escaped from his beard. It’s the only logical explanation!

From Baggs
Eugenio Velez had built up some goodwill with his much improved outfield play this spring. It only takes one bad error to throw it all away, though.
It’s not easy to ask a player about an embarrassing error like Velez’s clank on Shane Victorino’s routine fly ball. Sometimes we beat reporters will soften the question by providing a plausible excuse, thereby allowing the player several options: A) reject it and say there’s no excuse for a terrible play like that, B) offer an alternative reason that wasn’t apparent to us or C) take it and run with it.
Velez’s given excuse was the wind. He didn’t reject it.
"The ball was going away from me," he said. "In that situation, I have to be focused. I was focused. The thing is, it happened."

The Academy Award for Best Motion Picture is considered the most important of the Academy Awards, as it is the final award presented, directing, acting, and writing efforts put forth for a film.
As far as the arguments, they will by definition be subjective.
In general, I don’t care for “simple” films, films that present a black and white worldview, where there is no subtlety or nuance, that are emotionally manipulative, or where you can guess how the film will end 10 minutes in.
Wag the Dog, Cop Land, and The Apostle, to pick three, were smart, insightful films. Now of course Apostle wasn’t gonna win any big awards — hell, Duvall had to finance the entire thing himself just to get it made. But Wag the Dog was some of the best satire of the last 20 years, too smart by half to get a BP or Director nod. Cop Land was too morally uneasy. We have to remember that there are actual people voting for these awards — it’s a popularity contest fueled by HUGE marketing budgets. The biggest picture will almost always win (except this past year).
In the end, Titanic just isn’t my kind of movie, and if I were a voting member of the Academy, it certianly wouldn’t have gotten my vote.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
I think a better definition of best picture is: best production. It is all encompassing. Titanic was an epic achievement in film-making and that is why it won.
It may not have been the best story but it was good enough. After that I don’t think you can fairly argue anything was “better.”

I think you may be misunderstanding the point of 3D.
3D is not a story. It is not acting. It is the natural next step in creating a greater spectacle. At some point you won’t need glasses and the images will all be in 3D. Perhaps you will have to skip this current step because of whatever is going on in your eyeballs.

Considering the big argument for 3D to this point is the movie Avatar, which was absolutely awful in terms of plot, dialogue, character development, pacing and even in having interesting action scenes (and, honestly, the world building wasn’t that great either), I have yet to be convinced.
And you saying it over and over again is not going to convince me.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
My point about Avatar is that it changed how movies will be made.
Your other points are all opinion. The film was made for worldwide viewing by pretty much all ages. As such, the plot couldn’t be too complex. The dialog had to be relatively easily translatable. I don’t think pacing and actions scenes are major problems with the film at all. Those last two are purely subjective. I’ve given you answers for your earlier complaints.

But that is all production is.
We started by making things up. Then we told stories. Then we put them on paper. Then people drew pictures. (well this order is a bit off, but whatever). Then pictures were taken. Then we made films. Then we added sound to the films. Then we added color.
All of these are aspects of production that were used to enhance the ability to tell the story. 3D is the next step. Initially it was used in stupid ways like having something come at you. This was ineffective and boring. Nowadays directors realize that it can be used to much greater effect.

But they still act independently on the screen. It’s not a synergistic relationship, as you seem to be implying, so much as it is a weakest link relationship. The best screenplay won’t make you capable of appreciating shitty production. And the best visuals can’t get you to like a story that is written like crap. The movie is as good as whichever part of it is weaker, and they only feed each other when both are successful.

Also, 3D is a problem for a lot of people with eye problems. If one eye doesn’t get the input in the exact way a healthy eye is supposed to, it can really diminish the effect of what you see. You don’t have to keep dismissing jponry’s eyes like there is some weird, unexplained thing going on there.

the newer technology actually has two separate projectors, each alternating 30fps
so it’s the same amount of film, but the frames are being balanced at a speed that your brain interprets from one source.

Of course it can happen. Should it happen is another question.
But they want to cut costs over at Sony, and they can make a Spider-man movie for $85 million so they are going to do exactly that. They’ll sign the stars to three-picture deals, cast 16-20 year olds and pay them a pittance and make a shitload of money.

"Throwing out the first pitch at AT&T Park tonight...."
The national finalist Stanford women’s basketball team will be recognized in a pregame event at Friday night’s San Francisco Giants baseball game at AT&T Park as part of the team’s “College Night.” Along with the team being recognized pregame, junior forward Kayla Pedersen will have the honor of throwing out the night’s ceremonial first pitch.
The Giants will be taking on the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park, with first pitch scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
The Cardinal finished the 2009-10 season 36-2, breaking the program records for most wins in a season and longest winning streak, as the team put together a 27-game run from Dec. 30 to April 4. Stanford reached the NCAA title game for the second time in three years and made the program’s ninth Final Four appearance in San Antonio, Texas.
Pedersen, a right-hander out of Fountain Hills, Ariz., averaged career highs of 15.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game in 2009-10, and was one of four Cardinal players named to the All-Pac-10 Team. Her top-flight play continued into the postseason, as Pedersen was named to three successive postseason teams, the Pac-10 All-Tournament Team, Sacramento All-Regional Team and the All-Final Four Team.
