Uh-oh. Pitchfork’s fapping over the latest Deerhunter. Get an umbrella.

I really like the new Deerhunter :(
I was more shocked by the 7.5 for the new Manic Street Preachers album, I was expecting a sub-5.

It just doesn’t seem like the kind of album they would like. I think it’s solid though. Not nearly as good as Journal for Plague Lovers, but much better than Send Away the Tigers.

I think I can see your point in that the Manics do not play the style of music Pitchfork usually wanks over obsessively. I liked SATT, though it might be telling that I haven’t listened to it in ages.
Saying that, the Manics are a good enough band that although they haven’t had the consistency to put together a really good album, there is not a single album of theirs that doesn’t have at least 4-5 tracks I like.
I have to beg to differ on “haven’t had the consistency to put together a really good album” – The Holy Bible is one of my favorite albums of all time. And Everything Must Go is not too far behind it. I’m a huge Manics fan, for the record.

Look at 6:38, pic of college football coach flipping someone off, except...
looking at the hand closely, you can see that is his ring finger he is pointing, not middle finger. you can see his index, then a line, then his middle (both folded), line, THEN his ring finger.
They were telling us to fuck ourselves, except the guy isn’t actually even using his middle finger. FAIL
you can also tell it is his ring finger by counting the knuckles. the 2nd knuckle would be the one that the finger would be pointing off of if he was using his middle finger, not the 3rd knuckle.
So if you’re gonna flip us off, at least get the right picture in there.

Eh?
It’s a screen capture of Joe Glenn flipping off Kyle Whittingham in 2007 for going for the onside kick up 43-0, because Whittingham was pissed that Glenn guaranteed a victory at a student luncheon in Laramie the week before the game.
The parallels between this incident and the game yesterday are stunning. One of them must have said before the game they were going to win, then we won, so they get to flip us off.
I’m going through the IMDB page of the actor who played Lane’s dad on Mad Men, trying to figure out why he looked so familiar.

Amazingly, all the rookies – Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Dan Runzler, etc. — were up last year in September and paid their dues. The only exception was Ford.
No way, I thought. You can’t make just one guy do it.
Well, they did. After Sunday’s win, Ford found his clothes replaced by leather short shorts, a mesh leather top and a shiny policeman’s cap. Oh, and a cat o’ nine tails.

-Adopted Giant: Dan Runzler
It was solid. A bit over the top, and for all the “look how real this is!!” feeling it was very unrealistic.
Yeah.
It was well made, but had a number of flaws. I didn’t like the parade of star cameos playing characters that quickly disappeared from the arc. Or all the set pieces that seemed to occur for no real reason.
"Career potential: situational lefty." Situation: Ragnarok, bases loaded, Odin at the plate. You know who's getting the call.

And I think it was a questionable decision to have Guy Pierce be the character you bond with first, and have that Guy Pierce in even his brief stay demonstrate more charisma and likability than the one that replaces him.

So what would you guys like to see done with the rotation to finish off the season?
I’m not really confident in Zito right now and I’d like to think we have our best 3 starters going against the Padres if the season depended on it.
I still think I like the FanGraphs suggestion:
Sanchez
Lincecum
Bumgarner
Zito
Cain
Sanchez
Lincecum (1 game playoff, if necessary)
Thing C
What I don’t understand about this though is that the playoff game would only be necessary if we roll over against the padres… which we are way less likely to do with Tim, Matt, and Jon on the mound in that series.
by GrooveGiant on Sep 27, 2010 12:15 AM PDT up reply actions
In order to get Tim in the Padre series you would have to skip him over AZ entirely, and then couldn’t pitch him in a 1 game playoff if necessary. So you would really be minimizing your Lincecum if you did that.
I do not advocate minimizing your Lincecum.
Thing C
So, you’ve tried The Ropes too, eh?

semi-OT: minisoda twins
How are they a 93-win (and counting) team this year? Morneau and his silly .345/.437/.618 numbers have been out since July 7th, but that apparently didn’t stop MIN from ripping up the AL during the second half.
On offense I see Mauer getting on base (but with diminished slugging) and Thome still doing his thing, with a couple of Juan Uribes in Young and Cuddyer hacking their way to ribeyes. Is this better than the Giants’ offense?
Pitching-wise, Liriano has had a good year — gee, I wish the Giants could draft talent like him. Pavano has somehow gotten over Alyssa Milano and had a good year, and some guy named Duensing has a 2.44 ERA despite meh peripherals. Other than that, their rotation looks average.
I am wondering how they would fare in the AL postseason. Are they as good as the Yanks/Rays or are they a product of a weak AL Central?
After much deliberation...

The whining is obnoxious- we’re talking about Paps here, after all- but is whistle-blowing really unseemly? Cuzzi’s lack of sight ability professionalism was unseemly and disrespectful, and I find the idea of a ‘thin blue line’ protecting him anyway repugnant. He fucked the Giants, but that happened months ago, and it happened to a West Coast team. He needed to screw up on national TV and be called out by a team that ESPN cares about, and now it has.
Similarly, I wish someone less douchey than Jose Canseco had blown the lid off steroids, but I’m ultimately glad it happened.

Shifted-A both this thread and the original post-game thread
Satisfied with the series win but oh so close to the sweep…
Getting ahead of myself but I was thinking about playoff rotation…would you pitch
1) Timmy, Zito, Cain and Sanchez;
2) Timmy, Sanchez, Cain, Zito or
3) Timmy, Sanchez, Cain, Bumgarner
I would go with option 1 if the Giants open on the road and option 2 if Giants open at home (NLDS goes 2-2-1 right?)
#3 isprobably best, but some number on Zito and the Phillies
In his four starts before his last (Aug 17th) against the Phillies, Zito was 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA . However in his last start he gave up 8 hits and 4 ER in only 5 innings. I like Bumgarner even though he is a young rookie due to the lack of experience the Philly hitters have against him. Either way it’s a very tough call.

A good read and one of the better assessments I’ve seen about Sandoval because it has the context of the cautionary lesson for players having great seasons this year. We tend to see him through Molina glasses (Warning: objects in front of you may indeed be as large as they look). I wonder whether his eyesight hasn’t take a slight turn for the worse.

Mole out?
Sorry if it’s already been posted…
Freddy Sanchez has arm trouble
Hoping it’s not serious…Freddy has shown how good he can both defensively and offensively…Grantenot is great but not quite Freddy’s level.
At least with Cody improving…the Giants will put him in left and Torres in CF…Torres can then lead off and Cody hit 2
Like the guy in the $1,000 suit needs more television, though. COME ON.
Should…should…should…should…should…
Holy Shit

Hmmm.
You know who could use a baseball in the earhole? David Eckstein.

Things could get interesting for Eck if the Pads make the playoffs
Santa will be irate if Eckstein blows him off to play baseball again…
Next Monday is the day for all employees to report to Santa’s Workshop to get ready for Christmas.
As if this playoff race needed any more drama?

Seriously…
The Pads should put gargoyles on the entrance to Petco with Eckstein’s head on them…

The drunk driver who killed Nick Adenhart and two others has been found guilty. I hope the guy spends the rest of his life in prison.

How do you argue that murder isn’t the correct charge for that guy? I mean I know they’re his lawyers, but man, talk about losing credibility.
Utter frustration and futility.

The conviction gets the headlines . . .
. . . but let’s see what the actual sentence turns out to be. All too often, it is far less than is suggested in the press when the conviction is obtained—sort of like those “ten years and ten thousand dollars” warnings for putting unstamped mail by hand into someone’s mailbox. While it is pleasing to finally see some drunk driving treated as exactly what it is, murder, let’s not celebrate till we see the outcome. Many murderers are walking the streets a mere seven years after their crime.
