Post-game thread: Giants return favor, sweep the A's

PrintBrian Sabean didn't want to start 2010 with Travis Ishikawa at first. No one really wanted the Giants to start 2010 with Travis Ishikawa at first. So Sabean went after Nick Johnson. That seemed like a great fit. Nick Johnson went somewhere else.
Fine. So Sabean went after Adam LaRoche. That seemed like a great fit. Adam LaRoche went somewhere else.
Fine. So Sabean went after Aubrey Huff, who was one of the least valuable players in baseball last year according to advanced metrics. Huff was the last player picked for dodgeball, toeing the dirt and trying to avoid eye contact. No one wanted Huff. He was a positionless player who hit like a shortstop in 2009. Sure, there was a small chance he could rebound to his 2008 form, but that wasn't bloody likely.
So, wow. Welcome, Aubrey Huff. Whatever baseball thetans were dragging you down last year, we're all glad that you expunged them. It's a little early to start talking about that six-year extension just yet, but Huff has been the most pleasant surprise this season -- maybe tied with the greatest leadoff hitter in the game, Andres Torres.
And Matt Cain had a down start for him, which just highlights how awesome he has become.
Here, Oakland. I think you dropped this. You can have it back.

“Because Huff is so much better than FLewis this year?”, asks Frandsen.
"Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I just take a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real maturity."

Black Flag is a hardcore band. I believe there is a distinction between punk and hardcore, especially in the minds of hardcore fans.
Well, sure.
The same way that some fans will make a distinction between the Boys and their idea of punk. These are interpretations some know of and some don’t.
I Googled “Punk Bands of the 80s” and got a list of someone’s interpretation of punk/hardcore bands.
If you asked me…(me)…I’d say that a “punk” band (generic) is more “hardcore” (again, my interpretation of a definition) simply because almost all the “punk” music I (me) ever heard (not making assumptions for aaaanyone else’s experiences) was “hard” er than, say, “pop”.
And not being one of those dozens – of – generic classification types (discerning! a word I couldn’t remember five minutes ago) I just throw “punk” and “hardcore” terms/bands together.
But don’t get me going on the word “alternative”.

I once played a full basketball game with a similar injury. People complimented my manliness, but I couldn’t walk right for a couple of months. You made the right call.

Honestly, it’s not good to go right out there and play through an injury. I sprained my ankle BADLY and got right back up and started playing basketball just 5 mins after i fucked it up. Happened 4 months ago, and it’s still a little sore, never went to a doctor. But yea, not very smart
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Yeah… And it’s different in baseball/softball. At least in basketball you can tie on your high tops super tight and stop the swelling from getting too horrendous, move around a bit, prevent it from getting stiff. Sitting through a half inning would debilitate you.
And seriously, it’s not like we’re in the World Series or the NBA Finals, here. It’s rec sports. The worst thing you can do to an injury is put continued stress on it. I’m pretty sure that’s scientifically proven, and it works out logically as well.
If the situation were to arise again, I’d probably do the same thing, but that’s because I tend to go into a red mist during competition and not because I think it’s the right thing to do. That’s where the coach would come in if I were a professional.

For sure with the shoes
like i did just that and sucked it up, but it was STUPID. But when you’re playing baseball you’re not doing anything for a while when sitting there.
Totally, it’s not even worth screwing up your ankle for a longer period of time, i should have just soaked it in hot water and not done anything for a while, and i went to the doctor like 2 months later and she was all “hey if you would have came earlier we could’ve known what was wrong”.
Yea you’d be taken out for your benefit and not play since you don’t want to screw yourself up even more later
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
My ankle is still a little effed up. Didn’t help that the first thing I did after it became ‘healthy’ was play some basketball and get another hideous sprain.

k, since you and i are in the same boat, i just got a brace for my ankle and it helps alot! put a sock on over it and it helps a ton

That’s what I did for the rest of college. Fortunately one of my best friends was a thrower with ankle problems, so he was more than happy to share his ankle brace.
I should have been more clear: 5 years later, my ankle is still a little effed up.

I would never sit out with an injury. I remember one time I dislocated my ankle, heard it pop in and out of place, before the game started…the I played all nine innings. No stupid injury was gonna ruin my fun. I used to twist that ankle and play on it all the time.
Now it is out of alignment and causes a slight strain on my hip. Not a big deal, but annoying sometimes.

A couple weeks ago me and my family were playing kickball on a little league diamond
I led off with a double, then the next, uhh, kicker kicked the ball back to the pitcher. I slid into 3rd, wearing shorts. Scratched up my leg pretty good, but it was fun.

I didn't have that happen to me
but for me it’s now MUCH more easy to sprain my ankle since i already did it once and never did anything about it, so if i just walk on it wrong just a little bit, it’s re-sprained
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
The odd thing is, I haven’t sprained my ankle in 20 years. Admittedly I played all the time in my teens, but I have almost done it many times since, but not once gone all the way to injury. A few times my sprains/disloactions were so bad that I was on crutches. That one I mentioned was one of em.

Wow, that’s weird, good for you though where you weren’t TOOOOO injured all the time.

This part of the cup is kind of like a seeding tournament. The knockout round – or the round of 16 begins June 26th things really get interesting at that time.
I always think of the group stage as “This is the best soccer this region of the world has to offer.” The prelims start ~2 years before the cup, the world is divided into 6 geographic regions. Countries play within those “divisions” for a spot in the finals. The host country [South Africa] and the reigning champions [Italy] get automatic bids.
Let me save you the trouble of watching the soccer game. They’re going to run back and forth for a few hours, and when it’s over it will be a tie, either 1-1 or 0-0. What thrills!

That, is your opinion. Fine, don’t watch. I’ve played refereed and coached soccer at all levels. I enjoy the beauty of the game.
As I said on the deleted thread soccer is not really about scoring 10million goals. It’s the tactics and team work involved in putting something together. Watching soccer is like watching an artist in the midst of painting a masterpiece. An artist may go through 10 canvasses until they get their desired result. Soccer is an event, a process, that almost transcends "scoring" as a measure of the sport. It’s really difficult to explain… if you don’t get it… you don’t get.. I don’t get the hippity hop.

mine was a 6-month old stray when I got him, but I think he was so happy to be inside when I finally let him, that he didn’t want to mess anything up—just found a corner and curled up—pretty much been that way ever since.

Our house is about the same, probably a little less because we have the opening/closing of windows cooling method down to a science. My parent refuse to have A/C here in San Jose since it gets so cool at nights.
It was kind of funny how big of a shock it was going from non-A/C here to a dorm room with air conditioning at college. I was not used to stepping out from 70 degrees to 100 degrees.

That’s what my parents always say when we whine about getting air conditioning those few times when it’s 105 outside and around 95 inside (oh, I hate those days).
Thank goodness that my dad finally relented and bought some fans so those days are a little more bearable.

But seriously, it’s only about 100 degrees a week or two out of the whole year here in Moraga at least, not worth it.
NEED THE FANS!!!! +1 on that
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Exactly. And when it gets really hot, we just turn off everything, close the shutters, and read while drinking some ice water (if our fridge has ice, which is usually doesn’t since the ice maker is broken and we have to steal ice from the tennis club we belong to, lol).
But yeah, I love the fans. Two years ago the only fan we had was my little desk fan I bought for summer camp, and everyone kept stealing it from my room. Now we have a fan from each bedroom, although my fan was commandeered for the Xbox 360 while I was away at school.

Good call
yea you and i are on the same page, that’s pretty much what we do, we kinda just borrow ice from across the street if our ice machine is messed up.
Ha, yea we had ceiling fans and that really didn’t do much of anything, so we eventually got fans that rotate and stand on the ground so that helped. Basically the way we did it, was waiting until the fog came in, just hoping that there would be some sort of wind blowing in early evening

Two fans. Strong ones. As far away from each other as possible.
Both in/very near doors or windows.
One pointed in, the other out.
Do this whenever the outside temps are cooler than the inside.
You folks with the blazing attics – no vents on the ends? Small fans up there to flush that pocket of hot air as well. There are also nonmotorized rotating vents you can install (requires roof surgery) that the trapped heat actually activates.
Yeah, some of this is involved but it’s worth it in comfort.
Or hell, just soak a T-shirt, wring it out and put it on. That’s the cheapest and most directly effective cooling methods (short of whole immersion) I know of.
And the resulting visuals are gravy, baby.

victor is correct
We used your typical cheapo box fans, which could really crank the air.
Those of you with houses might consider “swamp coolers”; they’re better than nothing and because they are basically just a big fan over a puddle of water they’re pretty cheap to run.
Those of you with windows (and not members of the Green Party) might consider window A/Cs, which can be had for $110 or so at Lowe’s. Standard issue in NYC, and work fine to cool a fairly small room.

62 down, 100 to go
And for once we actually seem to have a legitimate offense (other than Molina) and hopefully the pitchers start complaining about all the passed balls (wild pitches, lol) and Bochy does something about that. Rowand seems to be finally riding the pine. If Schierholtz gets a few nice starts and gets hot, we may actually see our best lineup.
Our immediate schedule isn’t too hard, either. Things are looking pretty good at the moment.

I thought the dude as done. Happy I was wrong on this one.
Sadly I was right about Rowand, Molina, Affeldt, Wellemeyer, Renteria..I’ll stop now
Renteria . . .
. . . pulled a hammie. As we know, no one under 30 ever pulls a hammie. Otherwise, his numbers are rather good for a shortstop. But then, we’ve been there, done that, and I at least got the T-shirt.

In a year and a half as a Giant, Renteria has been good this year for almost 100 plate appearances.
You’re not going to be doing a lot of convincing here.

I did it elsewhere.
SSS results are suspect when they seem to contradict what prior large sample sizes have said; they are less so when they are in line with expectations. But I don’t want to rehearse the entire thread anew.
My only concerns right now are: one, did they give it enough time for full, proper recovery; and two, will they give him a sufficient rehab run? I am not a doctor, and don’t even play one on TV, so I can’t say whether the time has been sufficient, running drills or no (the one they showed on TV looked pretty lightweight compared to busting it down the line). But I am especially worried about the second, owing to references overheard to “a very, very brief” rehab.
Well, we will see what we will see.

HAHA SUCKERS!!! I KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME HED BE GOOD
actually no i didn’t, i as well thought that Ishi should have been given a better chance, but Huff is doing very well right now and very much worth the money

I’d still like to see Ishi get a solid run before they totally give up on him—Posey needs to catch for that to happen.

My friend is trying to covince me that we have as good of a bullpen as the padres do
He seems to think that mike adams and luke gregerson suck and mota and affeldt are just as good just “need pratice”.
I understand hating on the other team, but you gotta admit the padres 7 8 9 is the best in the league.

I’ve tried to grow quite a few fruits / veggies in our “backyard” [a 7×10ish combined cement patio/dirt patch] but the only things I have successfully grown are chili peppers and tomatoes. Bell peppers do okay but aren’t great producers. I recently bought a lemon tree for $20 at Costco, we’ll see if it survives.
Same for me, but my chilies came out really small. I have the exact same back yard layout. I have a camqwaut (sp?) tree there too and it has recently left a mess that I have been too lazy to clean up

Seriously
Granted, this was during the Dollar Bill Wirtz era where their home games weren’t even televised, but still. If you like your team, go to the freaking game, especially if it’s so easy to get tickets like it was during most of this decade.
Sharks had horrible teams – one year they set a record for most losses in a season (71, out of 82 total) – and yet still had a consistently full arena. Blackhawks never had that same level of futility, and they had the history and established fan base already in place. That’s why I get so annoyed with people who praise Chicago’s fans – outside of a few thousand who stayed loyal, all of them are bandwagonners.

So yea, that’s a stat i could post on this kids wall who’s all giddy about the stanley cup and telling me that they’ll finally be able to work on their golf game

Another thing you can use to taunt your Blackhawk fan friends is that they are in cap HELL after this season. To put it in perspective, they have 14 players signed to a total of $57.6M. The cap next year is supposed to be anywhere from the current cap of $56.8M to around $58M. A team is supposed to have at minimum 20 players on their roster. So they need 6 more players for what could be negative $800K.
Plus, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane both hit all of their bonuses this season, which combines to around $5M. In the NHL, any bonuses accrued goes against the cap, and since the Blackhawks were already right up against the cap this year, the bonuses are rolled over to next season and count against the cap. So, now is it not only negative $800K to sign at least 6 players, it’s more like NEGATIVE $5 MILLION to sign at least 6 players. They’re going to have to trade away a whole bunch of players for nothing, bury players in the minors, and hope that their prospects are good enough for the NHL.
So, basically, this summer is going to be hell for Blackhawks fans, and next year they won’t be anywhere near as good. I love it.

Well, the past two years they were good. Pretty much any good team will have good attendance (Phoenix Coyotes excepted). And then their 2008-09 attendance was inflated by the Winter Classic, which is pretty much an automatic sell-out for any team involved, and can hold more people than any regular game.

K, serious question, HOW THE FUCK does he get away with some of these trades?
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
For the Joe Thornton trade, both the Sharks and Bruins started out the 05-06 season horribly. There was already a feeling of discontent about Thornton since he was the captain and he “choked” in the playoffs before the lockout (he was playing with broken ribs). Doug Wilson, who had already targeted Thornton, asked about his availability, and the Bruins GM was so desperate to change things up and shed a bit of salary that he accepted Stuart, Sturm, and Primeau for Thornton without checking around the league.
For the Dan Boyle trade, DW already wanted to get Boyle, but Tampa wouldn’t trade him, so he got Campbell instead. When Campbell bolted for Chicago, he tried to go after Boyle again. Tampa was going through some ownership turmoil, and the new owners wanted to shed salary. And since Boyle had a no trade clause, they could only trade him to a team he wanted to go to or waive him. So Wilson offered up Carle, Ty Wishart, a 1st and a 4th, and Boyle agreed to go to a contender rather than being waived and picked up by the Thrashers.
For the Dany Heatley trade, Ottawa had already let it slip that Heatley wanted a trade. So they were trying to trade him all summer, but Heatley had a no movement clause (so he couldn’t be waived) and could choose where he went. When a deal with Edmonton fell through, they were considering just keeping him, but once training camp rolled around they realized they had to trade him. So DW swooped in with the offer of Michalek, Cheechoo, and a 2nd – most of which was a salary dump – and Heatley accepted (it was largely acknowledged that he wanted to go to San Jose all along).
Basically, it was just DW always being in the right place at the right time, and knowing how to take advantage of GMs in desperate situations.

So
ummm Carle ended up with the Flyers!!!! Very thankful they got Boyle. BUT WOW, every one of these trades do sound consistent, every one of these teams’ GM’s were so fucked so they were like fuck it i’ll get rid of the player since we’re trying to change things. Smart GM right there, the only issue is keeping some of these players
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Carle ended up with the Flyers, Stuart ended up with the Wings, Primeau is now with the Maple Leafs, and Cheechoo is being bought out by the Senators. The rest of them are with the teams they were traded to (well, except for the draft picks).
But yeah, DW is the epitome of “right place, right time” with regards to trades. And really, out of all the players that he traded, the only ones that would have been good to keep are Stuart and Carle, but even then those two were the so-called centerpieces of the Thornton and Boyle trades respectively, so DW had to give something up to get Jumbo and Boyle. Plus, the Sharks are stacked with defensemen in the minors.
I mean, Sturm and Michalek are still injury-prone, Cheechoo is barely an AHL player now, Wishart still hasn’t made the NHL as a regular, and the rest of them have been traded away. Aside from the draft picks and the defensemen, the players that DW has traded turned out to be overpaid and injury-prone.

Can i ask,
WHAT THE FUCK happened to Cheechoo
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Double sports hernia surgery and lingering injury issues plus never being a good skater to begin with has made him into a guy who can’t keep up with the play or get into position where he can get his shot off. Plus his confidence has been completely shot.
It took a perfect storm for him to get 56 goals in 05-06 – he was really a 20-30 goal scorer.

I was at a game in 1997
Both pitchers had a no-hitter going into the 7th (but the Giants were down 1-0, the way the Marlins scored that one run was funny). William VanLandingham gave up a ton in the 7th. Kevin Brown only hit Marvin Benard for the Giants only base runner. Marlins won that game, 9-0.

The only thing a park makes a major difference in is HRs. Other than that, a hit is usually going to be a hit anywhere. Some parks might turn a fly ball into an out that woudl be a HR in other parks, but over the course of a season, this isn’t likely to make a drastic change.

If you want to stay cheap, the good stuff is often a better way to go, as explained by the beer guy at Monk’s Kettle. Something like Bud Light is 4.2% but there’s plenty of beer 6-7% and up that are readily available and not that expensive. Especially at happy hour. :)

Some fruity beer are pretty damn good. It’s all about how you make it. I think 21A’s Watermelon Wheat would be fantastic if they just had a better Wheat beer to start with.
Pyramid’s Apricot is a bit sweet but otherwise solid. I had Kona’s Pomegranate Wheat today and I w\as really not digging it.
Then there’s always the pumpkin beers in the fall. Southern Tier’s is fantastic.

The Pyramid’s Apricot is too sweet for me. The pumpkin beers are just a bit too “weird” for me. There was a peach beer I had one time that wasn’t bad. But usually, the fruity beers aren’t at the top of my list. So it was cool to find one that didn’t suck.

Sweet
I heard to recently on a radio station and I was kind of shocked that they were getting radio play. Their music always been very approachable, and I’m glad they’ve made the jump over. Glad to hear that at least they’re playing a decent song from the album as well. I hate it when a band I like makes it, and it’s due to the worst song on the LP.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Oh yeah I hate that
I kinda feel that happened to the Bravery with their latest album-I mean Slow Poison is maybe the 5th or 6th best track on that CD

If the Giants continue to play well
you will find ESPN will pick up a couple games for Sunday night baseball. There is a limit of 5 (I think) for each team and ESPN likes to save Yankees vs. Red Sox so Giants may get a couple shots.

From what I saw today
They’ll probably interrupt it two innings in to report on the size and consistency of Kobe’s latest BM

They can play the Mets again
and Joe Morgan can talk for 10 straight innings about how the Mets don’t have a real leader

K, seriously, i need to get off this fuckin site, i’ve literally been on here for way too long. Although it sucks when there’s nothing really to do when i’m home until tomorrow, plus having random friends talking about how they were getting picked up by 27 year old ladies at the bar

If anybody here relies on public transit in SF, Muni is getting rid of the Fast Pass beginning in November.
