PrintSo if you guys want to take a lesson in how to get banned, skip past the jump and read 22gigantes's trolling, spamming post that specializes in trolling and spamming. If you'd prefer to write limericks, go ahead and just Shift-A the crap out of this and copy/paste the following limerick-starting template.

I'm back, McCoven.
I know you all despise me for exposing you as the haters you all are. So I will continue to remind you (and the majority of other casual readers who lurk your blog) that many people were actually in favor of Bengie Molina's return to the Giants.
One of those people just happens to be Tim Lincecum. In this article by Baggs, Lincecum says, "If people don't understand what Bengie means to this team, I don't think I could explain it to them. Bengie is all heart. It's a privilege for me. He makes everything easier to handle."
Go ahead and criticize Big Money all you want. And Huff. And DeRosa. And Velez. And Rowand. And Renteria.........
True Giants fans (which McCovens are not) know that this team can -- and will -- win a lot of games this year, thanks to the moves that Brian Sabean engineered. (God, you haters must just hate to hear that).
Only a small handful (insert overused TWSS joke here) of all MCC readers actually comment more than 50 times a week. They are the same penis-sucking worshippers who hinge on every comment made on every fanpost and fanshot and who wish to fulfill their lifelong dream of becoming the be-all and end-all of every stalker's supreme fantasy: Moderator at McCovey Chronicles.
I invite the MCC lurkers to visit my site (umpteenth shameless plug) and experience what true Giants Fandom is all about. No stupid, inside jokes about eggrolls, Asian women, or Yoshi. No trying to be clever for the sake of being clever. And best of all, no haters. Consider this a public service announcement. I'm only here to help.
Lurkers unite. Come to my fan site that really IS for fans.

Get a Photobucket or some other image storage account. That’s where you will download the pictures, etc. that you want to post.
They will be assigned four formats. You copy the “Direct Link” format for your desired image and go to McC.
In the area for the body of a message click your mouse, then click on the “Picture” icon.
A window will open up…paste your “Direct link” code there, then click “OK”.
You should now see the code posted in the message area.
PREVIEW PREVIEW PREVIEW because sometimes there are glitches – you got the wrong code or something similar.
It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with how to reduce image size.
Paint, which is in the Windows operating system (and also available for free online) can do this for you.

Well, 2K is making a step in the right direction, but their ratings are so fatally flawed.

I play on the 360
I find it to be pretty realistic. If you get the right options and difficulty, you will find a lot of realistic stats (like FG %). A team will focus on getting their star involved, they run a offense, the like. I think it’s pretty realistic and I’m enjoying it 3 years after it was released

Welcome to the home, Ryan Verdugo. Do me proud with your sweet left arm! Also, keep up your undefeated streak. Don't change that 5-0 record!
How is something like running an offense realistic? Are the offenses read and react like in real life (where the cut you make is dependent on the defender guarding you, and then your teammates have to react according to what read you make)? One of the problems has always been passing – both in terms of how quickly the game reacts to you wanting to pass and whether it’s quick enough to hit the guy as soon as he gets open, and in terms of passing to the right player – basketball games I’ve played have always made it difficult to pass to all 4 other options. Glad you’re enjoying it, and I haven’t played a basketball game in a few years, so I have absolutely no point of reference here….but I do know I have really high standards about basketball and I can’t even imagine how it could ever translate well to a handheld controller…..
by Missing Barry on Apr 9, 2010 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Well
in most games (like the few games I’ve tried on the NBA 2K series) they don’t even try to run a offense. In 2k8, they pretty much always run a play and will react. For example, if you try and get out on a guy on the 3 point line and deny a pass, they will sometimes cut to the key for an easy lay-up. It doesn’t always happen, but if you do something like that (denying a main option for a play by stepping in front) they will adjust and pass it to another guy. As for passing, the CPU passes quickly (I don’t know if this your problem) and finds the open guy. For me, their’s always been a few errant passes but I usually find the guy I want quickly enough.
I’m assuming you have a PS3/360, so you can buy this game for $10 bucks at a Gamestop and then if you don’t enjoy it you can return in a week and get all your money back (I believe they still have that going?). But for me, it’s the most realistic basketball game I’ve laid my hands on.

As much as I love Fifa (and I do looove me some Fifa), I have a problem with how easy it is to go nuts on manager mode. By my third year with Man United, I had Ronaldo, Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Chiellini, and a scouted keeper rated at 96, among others.

If you want a real challenge, start with someone other than the big 4. You’ll find that it’s next to impossible to pick up a world-class player without having to sell off half of your team. For extra shits and giggles, pick someone in the lower divisions so you can’t benefit from extra Euro cup $$$ coming in every year.

Being a fan means supporting your team. Constructive criticism is ok and should be welcomed, but bitching non-stop is just a drain.
I do not enjoy it and that’s why I choose not to participate.
Being a fan means “this one thing” and “this one thing” only! If you are not thinking “this one thing”, you are not a fan. I mean, seriously! How can anyone who doesn’t think “this one thing” want the Giants to win?
In conclusion, all you haters who don’t think “this one thing” just want the Giants to lose.

When I first started “lurking” last spring, I kind of felt that there was a lot of Giant bashing going on from pissed of fans. I initially felt that way about the EEEEEEE newsgroup back when too. BUT once I realized that (a) a lot of the same folks are on here daily, (b) how much they truly love the Giants and © how much joy they get out of every win, it’s easy to understand the scrutinous spotlight that every management or player blunder gets.
Like someone else noted, I wasn’t a fan of the Molina signing, but I still root for him fiercely to make it to first with every 350 foot single.

All right, dude, I don’t know how the rest of the mods feel about this, but you are really getting on my last nerve. Again, I am REALLY sorry no one cares about your blog and that, no matter how many posts like this you make on McCovey Chronicles, you’re never going to get even a fraction of the readership that Grant has. I know it must hurt a lot to realize that. And I’m sorry that for someone who seems to hate this site so much, you seem so utterly desperate to get the posters from here as your readers. Honestly, it’s getting pathetic. If you can’t get a readership for your blog without insulting people, maybe you aren’t meant to have one.
It’s been funny but this is just getting into outright trolling at this point and it seems to be increasing in intensity – are we going to get a post a day from you now about how the McCoven are a bunch of haters and you’re the ONE TRUE GIANTS FAN? If so, I don’t know about everyone else, but that’s going to get extremely old really quickly (as if it hasn’t already.)
Now the sad thing, of course, is that I’m sure Grant would have been really happy to add your blog to the list of blogroll on the left hand of the site. If you notice, there are a lot of blogs listed there and not just all “HATER-blogs”. Hell, ObsessiveCompulsiveGiant’s blog is like the second one listed. I hope to God that he doesn’t add yours now after you’ve shown yourself to be a petulant child who cries and whines and insults people when he doesn’t get his way. Gosh, this is, what, your 6th post here? Have you gotten any bump in readership at all yet? Do you sit at night, watching your hit counter and crying when it doesn’t go up, no matter how many times you call the McCoven Haters?
If anyone comes off as a “penis-sucking worshiper” or a “hater” here, it’s you. PLEASE, MCCOVEY CHRONICLES! PLEASE, PAY ATTENTION TO ME! I THINK YOU ALL SUCK AND YOU’RE ALL 35 YEAR OLDS LIVING IN MY MOTHER’S BASEMENT (ISN’T PROJECTING FUN?) BUT I REALLY WANT YOU ALL TO COME READ MY SITE!
Seriously, this is probably the most pathetic extended display I’ve ever seen on this site and we’ve had some pretty pathetic trolls in the past. I would be more than happy to just ban you at this point, because you’ve shown that you have no interest in contributing in any meaningful way outside of promoting your shitty Pollyanna blog, but I’ll wait and see what the other mods think.

I’m definitely in the non-vocal minority (it took me two years of reading this blog to actually sign up for an account), but my vote is against banning the moron. If he wants to make an ass out of himself that’s his prerogative, and I don’t find his ramblings particularly offensive.
Plus, right wrong or indifferent, I think it benefits the community to have a difference of opinion. Even if the opinion is pretty godamn stupid sometimes.
Please tell me we have moved past the dark ages of post hoc ergo propter hoc.
If this were just a ‘difference of opinion’ case, believe me, he wouldn’t be banned. He’s not being banned for disagreeing with the McCoven Grougthink™, he’s being banned for being a douchebag, troll and spammer and not knowing when to give it a rest.

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
This is like the opposite of the post I was considering making. That post would thank Grant and spotlight the fact that the McCoven is the core of the true Giants fan base. This is the lunatic fringe. These are the people who really do care and actually take the time to understand what is happening and why.
As for Bengie…he is on his way out. This is well-known. The pitchers may like him but they also need to learn to work with Posey. On top of this, Posey (at this point) is likely a better OPS player than Molina. So he is more valuable on offense. He is more versatile in the field and the verdict is out what difference he will make behind the plate.
And one final thought: you may have a really awesome website, but you are actually keeping people away from it by promoting it in such a dickish style. Yours is the first user promoted website I have not visited. All the others were at least friendly about attracting users.

22Gigantes says he’s a die-hard fan. He says that he supports the Giants unfailingly. But did you know that 22Gigantes picked the Giants to finish in third place? He even picked the Giants to finish behind the Dodgers.
Grant from McCovey Chronicles wouldn’t consider picking the 2010 Giants to finish behind the Dodgers. Grant built his blog empire from the ground up, writing consistently for over seven years. At no point would he have ever dreamed of giving comfort and aid to the enemies by picking them ahead of the Giants.
Grant from McCovey Chronicles: right for the Giants organization, and right for you.

Lincecum comments
Its too bad the post devolved into a rant fit for a 5 year old. Because Lincecum’s comments on Molina are worthy of some discussion.
I don't think so
I mean, no one has ever said the Giants pitchers don’t like throwing to Molina. They clearly do. But it doesn’t really mean a whole lot – if they hadn’t re-signed Molina and if Buster was catching, we’d be getting quotes from the Giants pitchers about how much they like throwing to Buster so far. The point is that they’re just not going to throw whoever their catcher is under the bus.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
also
perceptions don’t always match reality. Just because they like throwing to him doesn’t mean he in any way statistically affects their performance. They would likely be just as good over the course of a season throwing to Buster or Whiteside, or whomever.
If you don't like Brandon Medders you're not a true fan.
In fact, they’d probably be better throwing to Whiteside.

This
I don’t ever remember a pitcher saying anything bad about throwing to a certain catcher. That said, Zito and Bengie seem to have some compatibility issues at times.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
Zambrano and Barrett, right?
But Zambrano is pretty clearly unstable.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
The only possible argument for Benji over Posey is the passed balls argument. Lincecum throws a lot of pitches in the dirt and Posey had some issues last season with passed balls. I don’t have the statistics, but that might be the only statistical argument that can be currently made, given the state of defensive metrics for catchers. Maybe Lincecum (and all the old school player/manager types) is right and there is a tremendous impact – but it hasn’t been found to be statistically significant to date. Does that mean it doesn’t exist or that stats hasn’t been able to correctly quantify it? Dunno.
Hector Sanchez: Underrated. Fighting body bias since the 2009 off season. I still love you, son, even if you're fat.
Passed balls would be a really easy thing to study, and while I’m too lazy to find a link, I do know people have looked into it….

What, from his newest article.
AT&T Park is turning ten years old this month and the Giants are going all out to celebrate — can you say $6 million? And that doesn’t even include the cake.
That’s what the team is facing in a lawsuit by Chad Mello, an admitted McCovey Chronicles worshipper, who injured his left knee and ankle in 2008 on the famous Coca-Cola bottle slide at the San Francisco Giants’ waterfront ballpark. Mello wants the Giants (in other words, us ticket-buying fans) to cut him a check large enough to buy out Juan Uribe and Aubrey Huff.

I can’t believe no one’s said this in the 300 comments this article has (maybe they have before, in other threads, though), but 22gigantes, being a Giants fan DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO LIKE EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT. The Giants’ current management is awful, and this is not an isolated opinion. If you do a Google search for “baseball gm rankings” you’ll find a number of people who think Sabean is a dolt.
Being a fan is about supporting the team and wanting them to succeed. It’s hard to succeed with a player like Bengie Molina combined with a manager like Bruce Bochy, who favors veteran players over prospects, because Bengie is not a productive player (this is true considering any stat except RBI and possibly HR, and anyone who doesn’t realize that RBI is so situation-dependent is can be tossed out needs to re-examine the stat) but Bochy will play him anyway for the reasons you cite: intangibles, veteran leadership, handling a pitching staff.
This would be a reasonable argument to play one catcher over another if the two catchers were otherwise similar. However, Bengie has shown a startling lack of ability to do anything offensively besides hit the occasional home run, and Buster Posey is a top prospect who has shown the ability to hit for average, get on base, and hit for power, while playing at least an adequate catcher. These are facts that we can verify by pointing to his excellent minor league statistics and various scouting reports, which basically all say he’s a great hitter, a great kid, has a great work ethic, and learns quickly. Randy Johnson thought Posey was a good catcher, and he knows more about pitching than Tim.
But let’s set aside that for a moment, and consider the valuation of “intangibles”. If we assume that Molina’s ability to handle a pitching staff is far superior to Posey’s, exactly how valuable is that? Is it more valuable than Posey’s considerable offensive value? The fact of the matter is, we don’t know, because there’s really no way to evaluate esoteric things like handling a pitching staff, veteran leadership, etc. What we do know is that Bengie Molina is almost certainly a far worse offensive catcher than Buster Posey, so if you think that re-signing Molina is a good move, you believe that the value of these intangibles is worth $6M plus the offensive discrepancy between the two, perhaps up to $15M in total (if Posey is a 2-3 WAR player, which I find reasonable). In short, you are betting $15M on a game you can’t see and don’t understand. To me, and to many on this board, this feels like a stupid bet, and (obviously) I think that’s a reasonable and rational position. If you disagree, I’d like to tell you about a new game called “I Win” where you place bets and I win, mostly because you don’t know what you’re betting on.
As fans, we think that the organization making this $15M bet is stupid, and contrary to the ultimate goal of winning a championship. We express this belief virulently and frequently, in many different forms, some stupid and some less so. We are unconcerned with the job security of Sabean and Bochy, and we don’t care about supporting the organization so much as supporting the team. We want to see the Giants succeed, and when they make a move that is questionable, we question it, because hailing to the chief no matter what is contrary to success when the chief is wrong. I think the willingness to question a decision the organization makes is one of the hallmarks of a true fan, as is cheering any player’s success despite our beliefs about the decision to bring him here (which, as many have said, we do), and your particular brand of “Sabean is infallible” is ultimately more detrimental to the team than our constructive criticism. If I were trying to do something and failing, I’d certainly rather have someone tell me when and why I was wrong than continuously laud my every more in an effort to keep spirits high; I would guess the latter has lead to the collapse of more than one “government”.
Excuse me, I have to go suck some penises now.

I forgot to point out that 50 comments a week is rather a lot (seven a day, every day), and that if you’re getting anyone who comments that much you’re getting a lot of comments and apparently have an active userbase. If you’re going to make large comment counts your threshold for “active user” then saying “You don’t even have anyone making more than 1000 comments a day!” would be more effective.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.
You’re using reason against a guy who says the following:
True Giants fans (which McCovens are not) know that this team can — and will — win a lot of games this year, thanks to the moves that Brian Sabean engineered. (God, you haters must just hate to hear that).
and is also banned. We didn’t say it because it’s a waste of time. :)

Some of us have already been caught up in the Great Gonging of 2010.
Fortunately, Grant’s a stand-up guy, not to mention a kind and considerate Overlord of the McCoven, and released the banned status on EBD – a decision that Grant and the other minions may well regret in the months to come. (I keed, I keed…)
Still, it’s entirely possible that some other n00bs got caught up.

All of the moderators have their e-mail’s posted at the bottom of the website, so you can e-mail us about any problems you have. Really, even legit bans rarely, rarely, rarely happen. And it’s not like we can just ban somebody with a button click. We have to very deliberately navigate to an editorial page, click an option, and confirm.

Believe me, it takes quite a lot to be banned and you’ll likely get a warning first.
Basically: don’t troll. Don’t spam (posts like xanthan’s directing us to an article he’s written = not spam. posts where every single one is hawking your blog or linking to your blog even though it’s already in your sig = spam).

After the Garko/Sanchez trades, he spammed the thread with every single article written about either trade, whether it was interesting or relevant or had new information or not. And made about a dozen posts about how the Giants could have just traded Geno Espinelli for Matt Holliday because the A’s wanted a way to reach the “Asian” fanbase. And really, was just unbearably annoying. But he really worked at it, we usually won’t ban people for being annoying. :)

It’s not like he’s an All-Star any more. Chaotically, not everyone grew makes it. More photos " by Ben Margot – AP NY Mets’ Tim Lincecum balls out one batters while tying his student. Browse more photos " Hey, how about that. The captain conquest another game. Neat!
He wants to still revolt with the uniform and be part of the water, but he’s also facilitating for a captain if the losing continues. The Giants look distinctive on paper, but as of now, we are nowhere near the Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers or Chicago Cubs in terms of base running. 10 guys who hustle been in a gigantic power drought this season are Randy Winn and Bengie Molina. Neither are your prototypical number nine or 5 hitter, but Winn, who’s averaged about 14 three run homer a year over the last two seasons, has only 6 this year. Molina, who had 19 in each of his last two seasons only has 6 so far.

The Giants look cordial on paper, but as of now, we are nowhere near the Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals or NY Mets in terms of fielding. Third-half Zito shows up for the whole season and bats well enough to tempt shame into swallowing the rest of his objection. Such is the life of a pitcher. They won’t, mind you, but they’ll be a tiny tempted. . Basically, it looks like the Giants are successively aware of the problems with the laziness and they’ll attempt to walk the progression, not so much in the free agent market, but through trades.

I couldn’t more strongly suggest you don’t email the prick.
I did that a while back and he google image searched my name and sent me the picture of some other poor, unsuspecting bloke who happens to share the same name and probably lives half a world away. He then provided a homophobic visual analysis of said picture, all the while thinking he’d busted me. Seeing the length that he’d go to was amusing, but it was also rather unfortunate that he went to all this effort and picked out the wrong dude.
The funny thing about it all is that I have a very public internet profile established. social networking sites, office websites, marketing materials, etc….there’s all kinds of stuff he could of found if he had half a brain. The fact that he couldn’t find any of it though, that was a little on the sad side.

Well, the commenting structure on blogspot isn’t nearly as conducive to a post getting a large number of comments or starting discussion, really, as even the old SBnation set-up (as clunky as it was) was. Plus, the ‘blogosphere’ was a much smaller place even back in 2005 and earlier.
In addition, if you’re trying to suggest that in 7 years, 22gigantes.com will have its own domain and have the readership of this, I have to sort of point to the fact that even in the Waiting for Boof years, Grant offered something unique and interesting in his writing (and, above all, was a good writer), whereas 22gigantes seems to mostly paraphrase AP articles at the moment.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Yes, they did. I read ‘em back then (but didn’t comment).
However, Grant probably wasn’t trolling for hits on other, more popular fan sites. So that’s the difference.

That’s basically the same tone I took on the cover letters to my applications for grad school.

And, now that one has gotten into grad school, said person utters the phrase “Sweet Jesus, what the hell have I gotten myself into…” in torment at least three times a week.
Now back to my thesis.
"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."
Fuck your cunty-elitist thesis. Let’s drink!

Grad School Cliffs Notes:
1. Drink to avoid writing thesis.
2. Drink because thesis is unwritten.
3. Write thesis while drunk.

Your comment is brimming, LITERALLY brimming, with appropriateness.

I guess my question is
What was the point?
It’s hard to fathom but 22gigantes seemed to legitimately think that he would be viewed as some sort of hero who would rally the lurkers who were as sick of this place as he was and they would build their True Fan Utopia at his blog.
That couldn’t have been it, could it? Nobody is that stupid, right?

I used to occasionally have “he can’t be that dumb” or “this is surely sarcasm” moments, but I no longer believe that there is a floor on stupidity. It can keep going down until your IQ is negative infinity. The Internet has taught me so.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.
Nobody is that stupid, right?
I too used to believe this. But there are some people out there that just are. And they usually get on TV for it.

Given his immature response that people have detailed earlier in the thread, I’m guessing that, yeah, he probably is that stupid.
It’s almost like he views any sort of criticism against the Giants as thoughtcrime.
And this is coming from someone who lurked for a year.
"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."
Of course
We’d never know if he actually did rally the lurkers since, by definition, they aren’t posters.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
Well, he'd get a jump in the comments section wouldn't he?
Unless they remained lurkers over on his blog…

His blog is pointless anyway
I’m familiar with it, and it’s nothing but recaps of games and stuff we already know. Totally pointless. If I want recaps, I’ll watch ESPN or find it on an actual sports site.

I don’t get it. Why would team mascots have a convention????
Seems like I miss all the good threads...

Would it be wrong to post this guy's name?
Or at least links to public profiles on the web?
A few searches reveal who this guy is. It’s all publicly accessible. Anyhow, if any of the mods feel strongly about this just let me know.
F. the Lewis.
In my opinion, nothing good can possibly come from making it personal like that.
