Post-game thread: Giants use the rest of Matt Cain's runs for the year

PrintDear Giants,
Please mix more of these kinds of games in with the torture.
Sincerely,
Giants fans everywhere.
P.S. As a staunch pitch-count agnostic, I was fascinated by the decision to leave Matt Cain in for the eighth inning. He was already well over 100 pitches, and the Giants had a five-run lead. Even with a short bullpen -- Guillermo Mota pulled his it-girl, in case you didn’t hear -- the Giants should still have been able to been able to cover two innings.
Yet Cain was absolutely nasty in the eighth. His fastball was up to 95 mph as he cracked the 120-pitch marker, and he was snapping off some fetid breaking balls. I’m pretty sure I would have pulled Cain for a pinch-hitter in the seventh, but it’s a little tough to use the top of the eighth as a data point in support of that position.
Instead of taking a stand, I just want to see Bruce Jenkins and Rany Jazayerli get in a knife fight. I’ll follow the winner’s ideology.
Also, this lineup sure would look a lot better if Freddy Sanchez and Pablo Sandoval could get hot at the same time. Work on that, Giants.

Sheesh. What's wrong with you folks?
I had a date with my 5-year-old boyfriend when I was 4. He’d introduced himself by announcing that he was going to marry me one day. It was the perfect pick-up line for a girl who always answered the question of “What do you want to be when you’re grown up?” with a succinct: “Married.” About 5 milliseconds after he’d shown interest, I’d decided when I’d let him kiss me, and what color of napkins we’d have at the wedding reception.
What can I say? i figured out the boy-girl thing very early on.
I was a very strange child…
and by the next day
…you were calling him a lazy inattentive lover and asking why he couldn’t make as much money as that kid on the monkey bars

Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
It would help if we were responsible for some of those losses.
I agree with Grant’s earlier post, it’s in our best interest to get the division instead of the wild card. Of all the possible playoff teams, SD is our toughest competitor, hands down. Much better to let someone else eliminate them for us.
Since we’re basically playing the entire division one more time and throwing in a series with the Cubs, SD games are quickly moving into my “must win” category. It would be arrogant to say we’ve got the rest of the season in the bag, but a few timely victories against the Padres will far outweigh any losses we have along the way.

Being intelligent and being reasonable do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Probably my favorite ballplayer
I understand he had a reputation for being something of a dick (not like Milton Bradley, just standoffish), but he had a great life story, stole bases like he was walking his dog, and was one of the most purely competitive players I ever saw. The day the Giants picked him up, I felt like I was eight years old again.
Man, that was a good few months.

Huh?
I’m fairly sure the original was in Middle English. Old English—what I believe Beowulf is in—was already well gone by Chaucer’s time. Let me check Wikipedia; OK:
Old English was extant “between at least the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century.”
Middle English was extant “between the late 11th century and about 1470, when the Chancery Standard, a form of London-based English, began to become widespread.”
And “The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century.”
Perhaps you meant Middle English and Modern English?

I don’t know why people read translations of Chaucer. Middle English takes some getting used to, but it’s really not very hard.

Assuming all things stay the same with both teams rotations....
So as of now:
4 game series at @ SD we have:
Cain v. Richard
Sanchez v. LeBlanc
Bumgarner v. Correia
Lincecum v. Latos
And 3 game series to end the year at home:
Zito v. LeBlanc
Cain v. Correia
Sanchez v. Latos
Hopefully Latos will go on the DL before then, but for the most part I can live with those matchups. If the division and playoff spot is on the line on the last day of the year against Latos, I will be shitting my pants.

We are now . . .
. . . beyond what properly goes in a thread here. But my point was that what is at this moment is not eternal, and what will be at a future moment may be—and likely will be—very different. When we are happy, it is hard to keep in mind that days will come when we are sad, or worse; but when we are sad or worse, it is equally hard to remember—or even believe—that days will come in which we will be happy (or better). But they will.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
obviously, but at this moment right now, personally? i couldn’t care less if i died, i really wouldnt, i’m not even joking, i know others would care, but i swear, i’ve been through hell to get to where i am now, so i would say that i’ve experienced the worst part of my life already, and i’m only 22…. and quite frankly i agree with dr.dc, i live every fucking day like it’s my last, have fun, why be unhappy or depressed?

That's basically the way:
You slog through each day, extracting what it can give you. In time, the slog becomes less tedious, till one day you realize that for a while now it’s been a walk, not a slog any more. Then maybe you can trot, or even run. Cliches become cliche because they are largely true: Time heals all wounds.
I could say “been there, done that”, but so probably can almost anyone past early youth. Some get hit worse than others, and I don’t want to moralize, so I’ll just say “hang in there—it does get better.”

I assume the drinking was to somehow remember the dead, and then reflect in the morning… been there done that… and all i can do is shake my head

Not exactly.
The idea was rooted in something Plato famously said, nowadays usually rendered in Latin: In vino veritas (in wine is truth). Alcohol reduces the threshold of our inhibitions on thought, speech, and action. Thoughts and speech had while under the influence of an intoxicant are thus likely to be more open and honest, if less reasonable.
That, then, was roughly the idea: speak openly and without inhibition, if not wisely and well; then go back the next day and apply reason and wisdom to the truths so discovered.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Correct on the fact that’s what alcohol does, i understood that when i began drinking, but the fact of the matter is, i didn’t keep drinking for that reason….
Of course i’m depressed, i’m depressed everyday of my life, i’m depressed now even… but i’m not gonna drink to hide that… i rarely drink to hide my true emotions, since that’s what i feel is what an alcoholic is

There are probably . . .
. . . as many definitions of “alcoholic” as there are folk trying to define it. For example, there’s this, off a randomly selected web site on the topic:
Alcoholism is a primary illness or disorder characterised by some loss of control over drinking, with habituation or addiction to the drug alcohol, causing interference in any major life function, e.g. health, family, job, spiritual, friends, legal.Probably reasonable, but I’d say a simpler one is just “someone who cannot function without alcohol”.

I am curious about something.
College. Graduation.
I see from various sub-threads on this and many other posts that not a few here seem to be in college, then out come ages that, well, puzzle me.
What is the normal age for graduation from college these days? (Back around the Revoluutionary War or the Civil War or whenever I went to school, it varied from something like 22 at oldest down to 20 or even 19.) Enter school around 6, be graduated from high school 12 years later at 18, and thus from college at 22. Get out younger if your birthday got you in at age 5, or if you had some sort of compression or grade-skipping between.

I was in this line…worked 5 days a week, went to school Tues/Fri or Mon/Wed as classes were offered. Took me an Academic Decade™ to get a BFA.
My wife got two degrees (BFA/MFA) in the time it took me to get one. And she’s still not smart enough to avoid someone like me.
I used to joke that I’d taken so many interesting classes that were not required, that someday someone would stop me in the hallway and award me a degree in Biology or Sociology

I’ll be an old man (27) when I graduate this year. I lost some years to a military enlistment, but I don’t think my graduation age is all that unusual these days. My house has me, a 25 year old 5th year Sr., a 26 year old junior and a 24 year old first year grad student. I feel ancient in my lower division classes, but in classes for my major (Poli Sci) there usually appears to be quite a few people 25 or older.

Thank you all.
Remarkable. Indeed, I was just reading a news article somewhere on the generational differences associated with living at home at ages prior generations would have found shocking (that is, post-college). The writer spoke of five life milestones once achieved quite early that are now much later. I can’t recall them all, but living independently was certainly one. Ah, got it: from The New York Times: “What Is It About 20-Somethings?” From it:
Sociologists traditionally define the "transition to adulthood" as marked by five milestones: completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying, and having a child. In 1960, 77 percent of women and 65 percent of men had, by the time they reached 30, passed all five milestones. Among 30-year-olds in 2000, according to data from the United States Census Bureau, fewer than half of the women and one-third of the men had done so. A Canadian study reported that a typical 30-year-old in 2001 had completed the same number of milestones as a 25-year-old in the early ’70s.No point and no comment, other than to repeat Mr. Spock: “Fascinating.”

I think a lot of people my age and older want to do more stuff before they settle down
i.e. live in different cities, travel abroad, take more college classes than they need to or go to grad school (sometimes unnecessarily)
Or maybe what Alex_Lewis said haha.

That's understandable, and nice, but . . .
. . . consider that it may lead to being able to do less stuff later on.
If I could go back through time and give my younger self just one item of advice, it would be “save now and save lots”. I got lucky and was later able to make up for squandered opportunities, but that is not the usual course of events. (Wisely investing savings is another topic altogether.)

I hope to be done by the time I'm 21
But I’ve always been the youngest at whatever level I’ve been at. Major and school also affects it a lot, but I’d imagine most graduate 21-23.

What helps . . .
. . . is either or both of having gotten in at age 5, owing to some match or mis-match between birthday and school dates, and attending fewer years, either by grade-skipping or by (as was possible at least at one time in New York City) getting special “compressed” schooling—in my case, the three years of junior high presented in two years (the so-called “SP” classes; I believe some form of SP remains to this day, but I suspect the 3-in-2 option is gone).

I actually started at 4
As I didn’t go to pre-school. There are really very few kids that do that (or so it seemed, at least for my time and in my area), as through HS only 2 people in my grade were younger than me (one by a day).
This is kind of straying from the topic, but I can only imagine how different my life would be had I gone to pre-school. In fact, I really can’t imagine it.
"There was hatred. And they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants won. Woo hoo!" - Mike Krukow
Was that first grade or kindergarten?
In New York City back then, kindergarten enrollment started a year earlier than 1st grade (obviously), but was optional. I never had the charming experience (or any other sort of “pre-school”) and started off in 1st grade. The first six years of school were a hellish misery. At grade 7, I was fortunate enough to be streamed into the SP classes, and life got, and statyed, a lot better.
