This Posey kid looks good
I wonder if he is ready for the rigors of AA
We don't have to improve our ability to get people on base to improve our offense. If we sign FAs with decent RBI totals they will bring those RBIs with them. Its science. Or magic. We aren't exactly sure. The IT department hasn't responded to our telegram. --Sabean's offseason master plan
In order of descending difficulty
1. AA pitching
2. AAA pitching
3. Diamondback pitching
Photogenic, too

I’m a fan of both moves, but a huge downside is Nate losing starts and his ba falls and falls until he is no longer seen as a starter.

Reminds me of a Disney joke
Mickey takes Minnie to court for a divorce. When the judge asks for the reason why, he hears Mickey say that Minnie has gone crazy. In order to prove this, the judge puts Minnie through a series of examinations by psychiatrists and other doctors. She checks out ok, so the judge is confused and a little angry at Mickey.
The judge asks Mickey, “Mickey, why did you say that Minnie has gone crazy?”
Mickey, in an annoying tone, replied, “I didn’t say that Minnie is crazy. I said she’s fucking Goofy.”

He’s one of those “elder statesmen” pitchers, you know? Paid his dues, shown consistent excellence over his career, etc. If there’s one pitcher in baseball right now who approaches Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine-type status, it’s Halladay.
Not that he should get preferential treatment, but it’s a decent comparison.

Sonic Adventure 2 had one of the coolest unlockables ever after getting all the stars. Too bad the non-Sonic/Shadow levels sucked.
Yeah, I really really didn’t like the design of SA2 at all. Everything felt too contrived to me, and Shadow and his supporting cast were all pretty terrible.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Yeah, I didn’t really like SA2 as much either. One of my favorite aspects of SA was walking around the lands and being able to explore. You couldn’t do that at all in SA2.
Also, Tails being in the robot suit sucked. Being able to fly was the best part about playing his character. That and how it was basically playing Sonic’s level, but racing and being able to pull a few shortcuts.
Plus, the shoe grinding thing pissed me off. Especially the space level. I could not get through that level without dying at least five times after falling off the rails.

I think it was more that they strung together the best playthroughs from save states, and then stitched the video together.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Also, as I watch this one, there are some flaws in the run, things that cost him several seconds on a couple of easy stars that would have been really, really easy to just reload from a save state and re-do if he were emulating. My hunch is that it’s legit.

No, wait. Some group called Lame Offspring of Papua/New Guinea is using the Green for some kind of memorial thing. High School drill teams, National Guard firing squads, yadda, yadda. Can we make it on Union Street, in front of the shoppes, at around 3, again for my satisfaction? Your second can meet my second in front of Lush, not far from Beetlenut. Barring fatal consequences, we might be able to catch an avaunt rush drink at Perry’s. I’ll have a third secure a table. Have you a third? No? Don’t worry, mine will handle it.

I was watching the game with my girlfriend today and explaining to her why I was so excited about Buster
I said “He’s one of the best prospects in the game, especially because he plays catcher”
She saw him get a putout at 1B and immediately said “Well why is he playing there then?”
I had no good answer for her. It seems that if a woman who has watched probably, 30 baseball games in her life realizes that Posey should be behind the dish, Sabean would. Alas, so it goes. good win, and good Buster.
by the time she's seen 60 games she'll know the answer

Sounds like my adventure with brandy.
Around ‘94 I took my wife out to dinner on her birthday to the Compass Room at the downtown Phoenix Hyatt (That’s the building with the “hat”. The “hat” is a rotating restaurant.) where we had brandy after dinner. My Dad had always had a bottle of Grand Marnier around but I had never had it until the dinner.
But $20 for a snifter?
I shuddered at the imagined cost of a bottle.
So when the liquor store clerk asks me what brandy I wanted I asked what the price range was – and of course walked with some $4.99 turpentine.
Lesson learned, because it’s been nada but Marnier since.

Um . . .
. . . Grand Marnier is considered a liquer, not a brandy (though it does contain cognac).
Both liquers and brandies are, for the better ones, frighteningly expensive. Of the inexpensive brandies, Korbel is commonly thought to be the most acceptable.
It is ironic that Americans fancy French brandy as the distinguished after-dinner drink, while the French fancy American bourbon. (Good bourbons are also frighteningly expensive.)

I could have sworn the label said “Orange and fine old cognac brandy” tho’ I may be mistaken. It’s been known to happen.

Remember Morganna?
An outfielder (I am sorry to say I have forgotten whom) was once interviewed about one of Morganna’s on-field exploits that day. He said something to the effect that he heard a crowd roar and knew it had to be either someone on the field or else beachballs; so he looked around and it was beachballs.

The hits were nice . . .
. . . but what impressed me were some of Posey’s takes on close pitches in counts when you’d expect an anxious rookie to swing away. Hits are hits, but all three were pretty much served up on a T; his takes, though, strongly suggest someone who will mostly confine his swings to balls he might actually hit. Some others could take that for a model.

He was DFA’d by the tigers today, and to be honest I think he’d be a lot less suck than todd wellemeyer. The giants could get him on a MLD deal, and I’m pretty sure he’s way better than any of the randoms we have in the pen.

ESPN's reference to Bochy's big head
The player with the biggest head (size 8) in baseball history was a catcher, Bruce Bochy, who, after hitting a walk-off homer for the Padres, walked on a red carpet to his locker where a six-pack of beer in ice was sitting in his helmet. “You can fit a six-pack in some helmets,” said Bochy’s then-teammate Terry Kennedy, “but only in Boch’s can you fit a six-pack and ice.”

Epic Rant from guy on baggs blog
This team makes no sense. Bengie is a fat ass who hurts this team. God damn Giants fans, media, beat writers, and front office are compiled of IDIOTS. This kid should be starting at catcher EVERY DAY. What is wrong with all of you? If he’s here for a week, what is the point? To let DeRosa’s wrist, which every one on the planet says needs surgery, supposedly heal? So we get to watch Molina, DeRosa, Renteria, Rowand, etc. all suck except for one week?
This franchise, and it’s fans, are ASS backwards. I feel like I’m in a bizarro world where common baseball sense and knowledge are interpreted as fantasy.
If they send Posey down, I will personally kick Sabean in his nut.

If not for cameron maybin dropping a fly ball hit to him in the 3rd, halladay would have gotten a ND for his perfect game LOL.

Giants' manager Bruce Bochy regarding the signing of Pat Burrell:
“The thought of signing him to help us off the bench, give us a right-handed bat, some power, a good threat coming off the bench and help us late in games and maybe play against certain pitchers. Right now he needs some at-bats in the Minor Leagues, and we’ll see where he’s at in the next 10 days or so.”
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Oh good
“Certain Pitchers”
Proud Adoptive Parent of Jesus Guzman, who has been resurrected and has returned to..(reads)...Fresno? And is also an outfielder now.
Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.
Is it OK to root for Burrell to go 0 for 50?

Aww man
Randy Winn. DFA’d. I’m glad he is no longer a Giant, but I still would have liked to see him get a postseason at bat. I boldly predict 3 mediocre weeks with the D-Backs, then DFA’d again.
Hmmm
How many games left this season, 2011 and 2012?

From chris haft
Moreover, with Opening Day left fielder Mark DeRosa (left wrist) sidelined until Friday at the earliest
Why do the giants keep trying to sell that derosa is going to be something and is right around the corner? He needs surgery and to be shut down for the year, but clearly none of us know what we are talking about.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
Dr. James Andrews could say he should shut it down and get surgery and the Giants brazzzzzzz would say he was wrong and doesn’t know what he is talking about. Apparently, Dr Nick Riviera is much smarter.

Dear Brian Sabean,
Time does not heal all wounds. Neither does repeatedly aggravating an injury. Surgery, rest, and rehabilitation just might be what Mark DeRosa needs to get his wrist back to 100%. You never know…
Signed,
A Concerned Fan
P.S. No one’s falling for your bullshit PR spin on this issue, so please cut it out.
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
seriously what the fuck, everytime they try to sell that derosa is fine and no one questions them pisses me off. The giants don’t take any heat for continually lying about mark derosa and acting like his surgery was fine and that he’ll be a “big impact bat” in our line up this year. It’s a complete disaster that most people with more than a single digit IQ are aware of. Knowing sabean they’ll keep randomly sticking him in there and aggravating the injury and effectively end his career and send him off with all 12 million for nothing.

We’ve had our share of chatty rookies here in recent years

Sanchez
Huff
Uribe
Sandoval
Posey

Molina
Rowand
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
serious?

no, would just like to see the offensive contributions recognized
We have a first baseman playing left field, a catcher playing first base, and two offensive craters in the lineup.
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
I would like to see Bengie thrown out at first on an apparent single to right field
seriously, LaVerne

Man I kinda feel bad for strasburg
One loss, and he has to answer all these questions like “WTF? Why did you lose? are you pushed back? is this a setback for you?”
“It’s baseball. You lose. You win some, you lose some,” he said. “I’m not going to chalk it up as getting pushed back or anything. They beat me today, and it happens.”

I watched this game because I'm in the DC market.
He half chalks this up to pitch count. After the HR he was dealing. The bases were loaded with nobody out after a walk and two little bleeder ground balls I think. He wasn’t getting hit that hard. He was at 86 pitches and the manager comes to take him out. You could read what was going on in his head and it wasn’t PG. “You’re not gonna let me strike out one of these rubes or get a ground ball at somebody for a change to get me out of this inning no worse than even at 2-2. I hate losing and this damn pitch count stuff is going to be the reason for my loss. I’m gonna start beaning coaches during my bullpen!!!!”

why the fuck is molina batting 5th
Moar Chance at Rib Eyes. Also, prevents Posey from driving them in to embarrass the man.

here's hoping Posey runs over Molina and leaves tire marks
although the fat will be slippery.

top of the order should be torres wellemey sanchez sandoval

If only Uribe wasn’t getting a much deserved day off, this would be nearly an ideal set of deckchairs.
Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
Also
I like that Posey isn’t catching for Wellemeyer. I want Posey to catch for good pitchers so that it looks like he’s calling a good game, instead of potentially being blamed for a Wellemeyer meltdom.

I dunno that I agree. See my rationale above.

Let me clarify: I want Posey to be starting 3 to 4 out of every 5 games. I’m just saying that, accepting the fact that Bochy will pick and choose Posey’ starts sporadically, I want his starts to happen with good pitchers.
