I'm on Twitter now @mccoveychron. I don't just use it as a glorified RSS feed, if that's what you're thinking. I mean, I have in the past, but I'll change. I'm serious about changing this time. I'll tweet with more substance, I promise.

Shouldn't a hitter's history against a pitcher almost always get dismissed as "sss"?

I’ve never understood the “ownage” concept. Maybe hitters/pitchers are aware and leads to more confidence or something, but basing managerial decisions on such things seems silly.

Remember when Alou would win the first two games of a series and then punt the 3rd with a crappy lineup? That was even more frustrating. You’re not wearing cleats anymore Felipe. It’s ok to step on some throats!

This, to an extent. SSS has to do with how you perform but who you face. It is more appropriate to discard 12 AB as SSS when that 12 AB’s over three games include at bats from Cain, Lincecum and Halladay, you just got a rally bad draw.

This line up makes me fucking sick for many reasons

The worst part being bork thinks that this is his “All defensive team” which gives him the “best chance to win” when timmys on the mound. Except for the fact that torres has nearly 3 times the range rowand does in center, and doesn’t air mail throws. Not to mention bengie is a massive defensive liability, and it’s been on display all season. This line up does nothing to benefit timmy, in fact it gives him a much worse chance of winning due to molina and rowands poor defense and the MASSIVE lack of offense with those two free outs in the 6th and 7th hole. This is fucking pathetic, I wish we had a manager that used something besides supersitions and “hunches” to create line ups.

His weight remains a mystery because neither Sandoval nor the Giants will reveal it, but he doesn’t look like he’s any thinner than last year, and he may even weigh more.

Pathetic excuse making cover up orginzation is pathetic.

The giants saying bengie molina is 225 pounds is like the raiders saying jamarcus russel weighed in a 240 pounds. A bold faced blatant lie, only something that someone as retarded sabean and bork would say and think people believe.

Suprised not a single team cracked 6’2 in average height, I figured the rays would be 6’6 with how tall all their pitchers are.

They filmed a series of commercials Monday night that was supposed to last no more than 30 minutes. It took nearly two hours. It began with Marcus, a second baseman, saying it was cool having makeup applied to their faces. (“I haven’t done this since I was 5,” Marcus says, “back when I wanted to be a girl.”) It ended with Brian dropping his pants and jumping on Marcus, with the two giggling uncontrollably until the cameras stopped.
