The idea is that you would replace filler words like “um”, “uh”, “like” with pauses. It takes some getting used to, but it’s definitely doable.

Oh, there are uses
It’s generally good to avoid filler words in business presentations and meetings, and other events of a formal nature.
I do agree that it doesn’t really matter for a lot of people, though.

"I told the family lovingly slide"
Generally, when people get nervous, they talk faster and use more filler words. I find that if you’re more aware of your pace and try to talk slower, the pauses will come more naturally.

Also, short pauses are not nearly as awkward as most people think.

If I remember correctly?
Wasn’t that hat tip directed at the contingent of Giants fans who were cheering him from behind the visitors dugout? I thought that was the true motive behind the hat tip, though the TV presentation would have you believe that he was doing it in response to all of the booing (which was all you could hear on the broadcast anyway)…and also it wasn’t helped by the announcers of said broadcast…wasn’t it a nationally televised game or am I just making stuff up??

True Story
Last minute meeting setup at Boise, Id. Co-worker and I tried to book a room for the next day. Nothing was available. NCAA track meet going on, the closest room they could put me in was in Oregon. Finally, he found a room at a bed and breakfast. I asked him if I could bum with him for one night, I’ll sleep on the Sofa. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Reluctantly, he agreed.
We got to the B&B and a young girl opened the door. Looked at us kinda funny, and gave us the keys. The room is on the top floor she said, and breakfast is available at 6AM the next morning. We walked to the 4th floor and entered the door. Neither one of us was prepared for what we are about to see.
The bed was lined with drapes and flowers. The sheets were satin with extra fluffy pillows. The room had an aroma best described as lavender. The shower /bathroom had 2 faucets, his and hers…..
…….and no doors.
This is a honeymoon suite. And suddenly, the reaction of the little kid made perfect sense.
The next morning we went down for breakfast. There was a eerie silence as we entered the room. It would appear that the news of our presence has spread. It was pancakes and strawberries with coffee and milk. An elder couple from Oklahoma sat across the table. Occasionally glance at us, but minding their business mostly. Finally, the host breaks the silence and ask us where we are from.
“San Francisco.”
If I had a knife, I could cut the air in that room after I uttered those words.

I've been thinking this over
We don’t need shirts. What we really need are BUTTONS.
Hear me out.
If you’re at a Giants game, you probably want two things:
1) Be able to wear your favorite Giants shirt/jersey/whathaveyou
2) Be able to identify fellow McCoven!
Unfortunately, these things are probably mutually exclusive if we buy tshirts. Instead, MCC should sell buttons! That way, you could put them on over your Giants shirt/whatever, but you’d still be able to identify another McCoven in line for Garlic fries. This would be awesome, since we’re all nerds and don’t know what each other look like.

OT: Trade Rosterbation
Posted this in a fanshot somewhere, but…
Jonathan Sanchez, Thomas Neal, and Tommy Joseph (maybe Wheeler if necessary) to the Astros for Roy Oswalt, Lance Berkman, and cash.

Why?
Berkman started slow but is hitting much better and not injured. Oswalt is pitching like he’s Roy Oswalt. They’re both under contract for 2011.
If the Astros sent enough money to make it decent, I don’t see why Sanchez, Neal, and Joseph isn’t a fair trade for that kind of production.

MONEY, OLD, MONEY, OLD, MONEY, OLD . Wheeler is to good to give up know

"old" doesn't matter nearly as much as "good"
which both Oswalt and Berkman are.
Obviously, the money is an issue, which is why we’d need cash considerations. As far as Wheeler, I subscribe to TINSTAAPP, but I agree, he’s a good chip. I don’t think we should trade all 4 of Sanch/ToJo/Neal/Wheeler, but 3 of those 4, with Wheeler being the last one you give up makes sense.

Good this year, maybe. Good in 2011? Probably not. No more short term thinking!

Very well done Grant, i wish at times i was as knowledgeable as you when it comes to Giants baseball, because i am only a fan, and nothing more, all i know are the players and the positions, not really much of an insider

Oh and
I don’t believe anyone has commented on the clutch David Sedaris reference here.
Is Grant a fellow subscriber to the This American Life podcast?

So wait
Germany finished 3rd this year.
In 2006, led by captain Michael Ballack, they finished…also 3rd.

Not sure why Ballack hasn’t said anything to distance himself from Becker.
Somewhere in the minor leagues, Joe Paterson is pitching.

Sensual voice
I don’t think we’ve heard it since about the 3rd week of McCovey Chronicles being hosted on SB Nation when you literally phoned in the blog post. I swore that day that we would get way more of those posts, I guess I just figured you were lazy like me.
You proved me wrong Mr. Frisbee. Now do it again by getting a real job.

How did I miss this earlier today?
I enjoyed listening to that. Well done, Mr. Frisbee.

And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
Wow Grant, you are an adult sounding person.
On the other hand, the guy who interviewed you reminded me of this dude:

Reviving this thread
by noting that RAY RATTO was on TV talking about CSN hiring him to write… something for them, which I couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to because he was so utterly horrible to listen to. Of course, he’s been getting by on his looks for a long time.
Anyway, Mr. Frisbee could have said um 900 more times and still sounded better than Ray Ratty did last night.
