Giants/Dodgers series preview

PrintSteam rose from the iron cauldron as the warlock finished the incantations. Soot and smog gathered overhead, blotting the sun out and forcing him to work under a dull orange haze. The warlock looked down at the dingy, brown lump of flesh he was trying to reanimate. The incantation must have failed. He prepared to start anew.Wait, there! Movement! It was coming back to life, this miasma of death and rot. It twisted, looked up, and then coughed. The warlock stepped back. He knew that whatever was in that breath would kill him, whether by science or sorcery. But as quickly as the creation came to life, that life expired in a puff of grey mist.
The room smelled like a dead whale, rotting and dormant. The mass of flesh quivered in a death rattle before expiring. The warlock then put it between a steamed bun and charged $5 for it at various concession stands throughout Dodger Stadium.
Seriously, look at that thing. How can we not be on the side of good in this mortal struggle? The second you start to think, "Hey, it’s just sports, baby. Cool it with the good and evil talk. We’re all on the same spinning rock that we call Earth, man," look at that picture again. How can you not know that the Dodgers are intrinsically evil? They sell those. And how can you tell that Dodger Dogs are evil? Why, by the little handlebar mustache, of course. And if your Dodger Dog doesn’t have a mustache, well, then you must not be eating a Dodger Dog.
Kidding aside: those things will make you sterile.
"That’s all you got, Gnats fan! Making fun of the concessions?" said the Dodgers fan, probably while stuck in traffic.
Ha ha. No. The Dodgers have gone 19-27 in the second half of the season. They traded away for deadline reinforcements, only to watch the team crater. They were swept by a surging Giants team, putting them eight games back in the division just as August started. They gave Manny Ramirez away just to be rid of him.
My word. Just typing that made my fingers tingle. They should charge you to type that sentence in the parking lot of a rave.

Hoo. I need a cigarette.
Of course, that doesn’t mean anything. That’s the beauty of the rivalry. No matter how poorly your team is doing, no matter how out of the race your team is, you can still feel pure baseball-related joy just by winning a series against the other team. Overconfidence is for fools. Even if the Dodgers were a 110-loss team, I’d still have an uneasy feeling going into a Dodgers series. That’s how it should be.
Hitter to watch:
Not Manny Ramirez! No, they just gave him away. "Here, you can have him, Chicago. We’ll just take the acres of Manny wigs and bury them in the desert somewhere, next to the plot with the Atari 2600 E.T. cartridges. Apparently..." and they whispered this part.. "...he’s kind of a pain in the ass. I just didn’t want you to feel like we weren’t being honest here."
No, give me Rafael Furcal, who is probably coming back from an injury tonight. He’s already hitting .477/.558/.795 against the Giants for the season, so you can’t possibly blame me for a "Hitter to Watch" jinx. I suggest that the Giants get him out this series, just for yuks.
Pitcher to watch:
Charlie Haeger. What do you mean he isn’t starting this series? He’s awesome. Fine, then, give me Chad Billingsley, who has a .83 ERA this year against the Giants. Gee, that high? He hasn’t been blowing the Giants away, though, with a K/BB ratio of 11/6 in 21 innings. The Giants are due for a little luck against him, which of course means that they’ll have even less luck. This is known as the "Clayton Richard Principle."
Prediction
At least one -- no, two -- users commenting in a GameThread will use profanity to describe in-game events that favor the Dodgers.

This is so true. As much as I love watching the Giants, watching them play the Dodgers makes me a nervous wreck. It always has. And now that the Giants have something to play for while the Dodgers do not, it just makes it worse.

They’re around somewhere. I live on the ground floor right by Duboce Park, so outside my window it’s a constant stream of giant gay men and their tiny dogs. It’s pretty awesome. I think there are dogs in two different apartments in my building, even if they’re technically not allowed. And when I was a kid, we had dogs for over a decade even though we technically weren’t supposed to.

Me too. I had friends at the west edge of the Castro on 18th and a friend right across from the Mission itself, and when my now-roommates and I were looking for a place I said I wanted to be directly in the middle of those to, and we pretty much did. Duboce, Castro, Lower Haight, something like 20 Muni lines… it’s awesome here. Still can’t believe us young, broke yahoos managed to land the place.

debt
So apparently the Dogdurs are $433 million in debt, and spare cash goes into servicing this debt rather than investing in the baseball operation.
Is this unusual among MLB franchises? I know Tom Hicks of the Rangers was also in some difficulty. If there aren’t already guidelines in place that were just somehow circumvented, I wonder if this will compel MLB to be more nitpicky about how owners run their finances.
i read somewhere that one of the McCourts wanted to cut down the player’s salaries…that would have been hilarious
"For all you first-basemen who played first your whole life, that's where Buster plays on his OFF days" - Kuiper
Apparently McCourt loosely promised when he took over to keep the Dodgers’ payroll competitive (it was more specific than that, but I can’t find the reference at the moment). As it is they’re still 11th in the majors, although a lot of their payroll obligations are to guys like Andruw Jones and our buddy Jason Schmidt who are no longer with the team. (Not that they’re the only team out there paying players who aren’t with the organization anymore.)
There are tons of corporations that wildly leverage themselves into trouble, of course. It’s just sort of weird (for me, anyway) to think about that happening with a baseball franchise.

It’s an overall franchise thing. All these teams have done awful, unspeakable things to ruin my life as a Giants fan and thus I hate them all. But at least the Dodgers have a history, record of winning stuff, team colors that are better than the mediocrity that is everything Rockie and Diamondback.
I understand, but I still firmly believe the Dodgers deserve the most hate, venom, and spite than any other team/entity in MLB. I mean, fuck the Yankees, Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Phillies, Padres, Rockies, etc. but I’d still root for any of these teams over the Dodgers.

Remember, the premise of the movie is that the past cannot be changed. So what she’s insurance for is if Bruce Willis decides to try, because they already know he’ll fail. His job was to go back and get a sample of the virus, which is what she’s there for. That’s the insurance she’s talking about.

Tom Cruise is good actor. People have misconstrued his strange personality and weird belief system with his ability to act. That said, he doesn’t alway pick good films to be in. In this respect, he is like Nicolas Cage, who is also a good actor, but has no fucking clue how to pick a film – also he is a nutjob too.
/auto-defenestrates
by Uribe nee Gonzalez on Sep 3, 2010 5:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed about Cage, less so about Cruise. I chalk up Cruise’s problems in most films to direction; people don’t know how to draw a good performance on him. He’s the star in films where the big picture is emphasized over the individual performances. He’s a blockbuster actor with a bad bullshit meter. Natalie Portman suffers from a similar affliction. If the director doesn’t pay attention, she’s trope ridden and hard to watch at times (looking at you, George Lucas).
Also, I hear Cruise was also good in “Interview With A Vampire.” As I understand it, he’s a prick in that movie, just like he is Magnolia. I’m just sayin’.
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
Tom Cruise could have never done “Adaptation” or “Raising Arizona”, he can’t shed the frat boy mentality, but I think he is good at what he does. He is probably the best actor in the biz when “doing things” on screen. I know this is a fine point, but next time you see him (good example is Collateral), check it out.

by Uribe nee Gonzalez on Sep 3, 2010 5:11 PM PDT up reply actions
I typically don’t think he is the problem with movies he’s in, it’s more likely the story/script. Generally I think he rises to the material. I think this brings up an important point though: acting isn’t just what one does on screen, it’s the choices one makes before getting on screen, and that includes the roles they take. A perfect modern example of this is George Clooney. Movie star through and through, but he almost never picks an uninteresting role, even the Ocean’s movies, which are completely throw-away, are somewhat interesting for the actors involved (if not the audience). Half of Cruise’s movies and 95% of Cage’s movies you could say that they should not have been a part of.

Every year my uncle would bring my aunt back live crawdads from Natchitoches so she could make a crawdad bisque. She’d cook for two days while the 300+ crawdads roamed her back yard in Berkeley.
She’d never eat it afterward, though. She couldn’t stand it after the smell.

I was going to try to tell you what to eat whil down there . . .
But there’s really no point, everything’s good. Just make sure you check poor boys, gumbo, meat pies, jambalaya, and something featuring crawdads off your list. You’re not going to get good gulf oysters – they’re being shipped in right now cause of the oil spill. And if you get the chance to have blackened or chicken-fired gator – TAKE IT.

Ordered Egg Foo Yung off the menu. It was very good. Not much atmosphere, non-the-less it is worth a try. Linda’s Hunan chicken with vegetables was also very good.
I’ve never eaten either of these before.
egg foo young is American Chinese
also delicious

that's great
sounds like all the Larkin places are good. Over here, at any rate, places are trying to cash in on the White Man’s recent discovery of banh mi. Every Vietnamese places around, and even some Chinese places, are now selling banh mi, and they vary wildly in their quality.

Hmm...

FWIW
there are a bunch of Pho places on Clement. They seem to pop up every day. I have not tried yet, but hope to soon….
I always go to Clement street with the intention of trying a new place
And always end up stuffing myself on 5 dollars worth of Dim Sum….
I really gotta try Mama-san….
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
ugh- i am moving toward auto-banning Clement St Dim Sum lest I have to perform an angioplasty on myself. They do serve the Wing-Lee stuff in the nursing cafeteria if you need a fix, but they mark it up about 300%. As for good or new places in the ‘hood (not Clement St per so), Lou’s on Geary between 14th and 15th has phenomenal (!) sandwiches. Aziza out in the avenues (not new) is really yummy.
Thanks for the tip, now I'm completely screwed.
I swear I get nicotine-esque cravings for pork buns.
I’ve been meaning to give Lou’s a shot. It seems like it’s gained a steady clientele, no small feat given its proximity to the HOB.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
i live right there and had never been, but i was home ffriday afternoon and needed lunch and have to say it was really really good- and the added benefit is that the people working there are not ridiculously high like the good folks at HOB (read it does not take 45 minutes to get a sandwich).
Nice! I'll give it a shot.
As a person who worked at a Deli (Guerra Meats) in high school, I have a ridiculously high tolerance for stoned teenagers doing food prep. Now the stoned 30 year olds at Bi-Rite who take 12 minutes to carmelize a banana when there is a line around the block – I have a little less patience for.
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Also good is Pho Huynh Hiep 2 AKA Kevin’s Noodle House on Irving between 19th and 20th. I recommend the curry chicken noodle soup.
Sweet sweet tacos. Is the dog place any good?
Proud of both my adopted son, Baggs, and my ward, Ryan LOLlis.
Very
But pricey since everything is organic. They changed the name of the taco place to The Taco Shop (At Underdogs) presumably because it was confusing having two places with the same name on the same street.

I’m a short, thin white guy. And when I was there in April, I was one of maybe twelve people wearing Giants gear. But no one gave me any problems.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
I get peanuts whipped at me after about the 4th inning, and that’s been the worst of it, wearing-Giants-gear-at-Dodgers-Stadium-wise.
At one point I went up to one of the souvenir shops to get a logo’ed baseball and I heard a disembodied voice say, “Is that a Giants fan over there?” in a semi-angry tone. I proceeded to get the hell on out of there shortly.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
I had some huge Hispanic dudes start yelling “WHAT WAS THAT? YOU SAID YOU GUYS HATE MEXICANS?!” at us from ten rows back (We didn’t.)

OT: MLB.com "expert" Hal bodleys rookie of the year picks
NL Rookie of the Year: 1. Jason Heyward, Atlanta, 2. Jaime Garcia, St. Louis, 3. Gaby Sanchez, Florida
Heyward was projected to win the award before he played his first game. During the middle of the season he slumped and was injured, but has rebounded. He’s hitting over .500 in his past eight games as the Braves refuse to budge from the top spot in the NL East. Seldom has a rookie pitcher had a season to compare to Garcia’s. He’s 12-6 with a 2.33 ERA. The fact Heyward plays every day pushes him to the award for me.
Ironicially the same guy who said the giants trading bengie molina was one of the worst trades in franchise history and they would come to regret it when they collapse and finish with a losing record. What’s a buster posey? Oh that’s right he just benefits from a loaded line up and a band box LOL EXPERTS.

You could make a very good argument for Heyward, because him and Posey have a very similar OPS (Heyward: .872, Posey: .878), and Heyward has played the whole season, plus is a very good defender. Jaime Garcia is also having a great season, but Gaby Sanchez, who plays the least important position, and is OPS .060 points lower than Posey, should not ahead of him.

Long slash is long.
Hal’s mother never missed an opportunity to correct his behavior. In youth, he’d often be admonished for acting out in the school room. Ma Bodley considered it sacrosanct.
“You are there so they can teach ya, not laugh at ya,” she’d say between whippins’.
As his fuzz gave way to whiskers, though, the tone and frequency of his mothers… corrections… became more severe, urgent.
“God put the apple on the tree to tempt you. Don’t be a sinner!” she’d scream between chokins’. He couldn’t help it. His eyes had minds of their own, and they wanted to gaze upon the flesh of another person.
At first it was the forbidden fruit of Sally Plum, the bespectacled gal down the way. Something about the way she road her bike gave Hal fits in his pants. One day, he got so bold as to touch her hair while she bent down to tie her hush puppy. She slapped him.
“No! That’s not right! You’re doing it wrong! Sinner!” She stomped up the way and out of his life.
The next fall at school, on the eve of his fourteenth birthday and his deep awakening, Hal came to befriend the lone colored in his class. Sam was tall, but Hal could only think long. He was stronger than the other boys, too, but Hal could only think firm. To him, these thoughts were natural, uncontrollable, even. Of course, Sam had little hair on his head to touch, so Hal decided to arrange a sleepover for his new friend.
A couple of weekends later, and after a lot of quiet dinners with his folks, who were still uncomfortable with the idea of coloreds sleeping in their home, Sam finally came over to spend the night. That night, Hal’s father, Whitney, told the boys a story from his day working at a construction site. It turns out one of his workers was using his lunch break to receive oral gratification… from another man. The boys were confused. Hal wondered aloud why his father would tell them that story.
Whitney often felt persecuted when asked a question, and this time was no exception: “I’m telling you for your own good! That is unnatural! It is a sin that will get you fired from your job, it will ruin your life! There’s only one way to handle people like that in those situations, stay as far away from them as possible!”
That night, Hal and Sam played cards and then went to bed, Hal in his bed and Sam on the floor. They talked about Baseball and their teachers, but the topic of girls was quickly dismissed by both of them. And yet, this was the last time they ever spoke. Maybe Sam felt the same way towards Hal?
‘****’
As Hal gazed upon Jason Heyward’s team picture, a Rookie of the Year ballot held firmly in his other hand, his mind’s eye drifted back to that night. What could’ve been.
He looked at Jason Heyward and saw what his future should’ve been. He wrote in Heyward’s name on the ballot as the first place vote. Then second place. Third. Created a fourth line and wrote Heyward again. A fifth; again. He repeated this process in a deliberate, pleasurable manner, manipulating the pen and paper as he would his genitals. And when his pen finally ran out of ink, Hal gazed upon the ballot, his brow covered in sin, muscles quivering from the release of desire. The ballot was was a tribute to Hayward. His Sam. His love.
And Hal smiled.

Experts also said that the MLB should not have a salary cap because its unfair to the yankees success.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
when you rake in over $70 million per year on playoff revenue alone, you tend to have $200million+ payrolls.
not to mention YES network is owned by the Yankees, which rakes in $800 million a year.
I can somewhat understand Heyward and Garcia, but Gaby Sanchez??
Posey- 2.9 WAR in 331 PA
Sanchez- 2.7 WAR in 535 PA
Hal bodley logic
Bengie molina is one of the best catchers in the game because he has dingerz and ribeyes and calls the best game in MLB history just look at what he did for lincecum!!
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
Not to mention
Posey single handedly ressurected a team that was one game above .500 after fat ass bengie molina was traded.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
The fact Heyward plays every day pushes him to the award for me.

Why is Guillen?
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
BABIP.
Bochy no doubt thinks Guillen is the second coming of Wee Willie Keeler.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
not to defend Guillen, but it is usually a line drive off his bat, so his BABIP would be higher as a result- less weakly hit balls. So far, I don’t really have a ton of complaints about him, then again, we don’t know how much better Ross would have performed over him because Ross gets no playing time.
the slower and more injured you are, the more you're a gamer
so you get to play more. QED.
And the worst part, those fukin’ douchenozzles over at the MCC get to lord this over us.
His BABIP is over .400, so unless you’re hitting 40% line drives that argument doesn’t do much. Besides, it’s not like he’s hitting the ball extremely hard either.
"There was hatred. And they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants won. Woo hoo!" - Mike Krukow
To be clear:
Guillen’s career BABIP is essentially exactly average: .299. Right now, he has 4 “extra” hits. What’s lacking is some power: he “owes” another double and another home run (by comparison with his career norms).
As a pinch hitter, he may have some value, but with Ross and Schierholtz available, Guillen should not be starting. My feeling, though, is that Bochy sees both Ross and Schierholtz as marginal extra players, which says more about Bochy than about those two.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Bochy must think he's better than Posey
what can I say?
And the worst part, those fukin’ douchenozzles over at the MCC get to lord this over us.
Still hate Guillen. I guess it’s okay that there’s no Renteria.

Only 3 of what is now our regular starting lineup were opening day starters
Of those, one (Uribe) was at a different position and the other two (Sandoval and Huff) had different spots in the batting order (3rd and 4th respectively).
It’s remarkable how different this team is from the one that started the season.

Tonight's opponents
Furcal SS
Theriot 2B
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Blake 3B
Belliard 1B
Johnson LF
Barajas C
Billingsley P
They could be Giants...but not really.
They got rid of Manny, and their OF defense is still laughably bad.

Last time i checked
Kenny fucking Powers is a free agent. The Giants should pick him up. He can throw the ball fast as fuck. Put him in the bullpen. I know he wont like it, but it’s a good idea.

Does anyone know if Furcal’s back for tonight’s game? I heard rumblings that he may be reactivated, but I haven’t seen anything official. That guy’s a major douche.

2B- no power
1B- no power

Apparently the only team that the Cardinals can beat is the Reds
1-0 in the first
The Fishes over the Braves 5-1 top 4
Philly up 1-0 over the Brewers end of 5
It's tiny and I'm not happy with the loop, but
Utter frustration and futility.

I legitimately don’t know what that is.

I am guessing...
that the kid on the left is the costar of that show with that 9-11 denier and tax evader Charlie Sheen, the next three are the most untalented Jonas Brothers, and the thing on the right is RM’s mom. What do I win?
Either is the Jonas brothers' favorite dodger.

you guys read that story about “baseballs barber”? the guy lives with David Ortiz, and players pay him to fly out to wherever they are to do their haircuts/styles? he cuts Lincecums hair too, wears their jerseys when he cuts their hair?
I still find this highly unlikely
seeing as Timmy’s fastball keeps his hair trimmed at the proper length, no barber needed.
