Around the division: The offseason of the Arizona Diamondbacks
by Grant Brisbee on Jan 7, 2011 6:00 AM PST

PrintOnce upon a time, there was a team with a loaded farm system. Absolutely loaded. Every position had a young player just waiting to break through. They had a neo-Griffey in Justin Upton, a shortstop with defense and power, a third baseman who could hit 50 homers one year, and a reigning Cy Young winner. They had a pair of good corner outfielders who were interchangeably annoying1 and promising. They had so many young players that they could afford to trade six prospects for Dan Haren, who would surely put them over the top. They had, like, five catchers who could sneeze out a 100 OPS+ when most teams were just looking for one. They were a total supergroup.
Then the Giants won the World Series with a bunch of waiver claims, minor-league free agents, and busted veterans. Sure, there were four first-round picks who paid off almost immediately, but every team has that happen, I’m sure. The Diamondbacks tried to build the right way, with a team of engineers, reinforced steel, and all the proper permits. The Giants had a pretty sweet house, but they didn’t have a roof -- just some adobe, a couple of palm fronds, and some duct tape they picked up at a flea market. But the Giants won. The Giants. Not the Diamondbacks, they of the frightening collection of youth. The Giants. 2
Now Arizona is in complete rebuilding mode. They somehow turned Brett Anderson and Carlos Gonzalez into Joe Saunders and some low-minors arms. Brandon Webb disappeared into a Noah Lowry vortex. They still have Justin Upton and Stephen Drew, but they’re starting to look like the talented exceptions, not the stampede of talent we were all fearing just a couple of years ago.
Acquired
J.J. Putz
Geoff Blum
Henry Blanco
Zach Duke
Melvin Mora
Xavier Nady
Lost
Mark Reynolds
Brandon Webb
Augie Ojeda
Adam LaRoche
D.J. Carrasco
Oh. Geoff Blum and Melvin Mora. Henry Blanco and Zach Duke. Xavier Nady? Xavier Nady! It’s like the Diamondbacks missed their fantasy draft and forgot to change the Yahoo! auto-rankings from 2008. The bullpen for Arizona was beyond wretched last season, so Putz is a good acquisition, but Blum for two years? Swapping Mora in for Reynolds, sub-Mendoza chicanery notwithstanding? I don’t get it.
Daniel Hudson and Ian Kennedy are pretty impressive. Drew and Upton are still cornerstone-types, with Kelly Johnson and the wee Chris Young not too far behind. And I guess there really wasn’t a whole lot the Diamondbacks could have done to complement those players this offseason. The idea was to get some value -- any value -- for Reynolds, and hold the fort until the minors are bearing fruit. But, man, them’s some ugly acquisitions. When the Diamondbacks were just above .500 in 2008, I thought, just wait. When they were awful in 2009, I said, hey, look at the talent and don’t count them out. Then came 2010 and the case of the flammable bullpen. Forget it. I’m not buying it this time. Geoff Blum for two years? Not that he’s going to be a starter, but, sheesh. He's like Eugenio Velez without the speed. If another team is offering more money, just up the years, man.
Fifth place with a bullet. This isn't even the prediction post, but there it is.
Geoff Blum?
1 They were drafted in the same round of the same draft, their names sound similar, and they each went to one of those Bay Area schools that I was totally going to go to until Southern Oregon made safety schools like those irrelevant. I still don’t know which one got MVP votes with the White Sox and which one had a creepy mystery illness, and I refuse to research it now.
2 And the second the Diamondbacks turn their back, Pat Burrell will get in that stupid pool with three waitresses from Kincaids and some Miller Lite, and he’ll chuck the empties into center field.

That’s a bad team. I think the Padres are bad too, but they do have some ifs on their team that could have bounce back years and make them a contender. The 2011 Dbacks don’t even have the potential to get lucky. If the Giants can shake off the enormous loss of Edgar Renteria and FP Santangelo, I think they’ll have a fairly easy road to the playoffs as division winner or wild card. I used to dread the trips to Arizona because of the power of that lineup, Webb and Haren, but now I look forward to them, unless we run into a Kennedy-Zito matchup.

I think they might get lucky and sniff fourth.

I guess the good news for Arizona is that they didn’t trade Upton, but man.
Every time I realize how much Arizona gave up for Haren, it boggles my mind. Even if Gonzalez and Anderson end up the only “impact” players (though it looks like Carter has a chance), that’s still insane.
The two prospects they got from the Angels are solid, but still. I think I’d say Gonzalez and Anderson are better than solid. Man.

The D'backs also traded away Carlos Quentin
They have had some pretty good players go through their farm system.
I had to look up some of our bad trades
We got Frank Duffy and Vern Geishert for George Foster, who after the trade was only able to manage 330 homers and one MVP. Loser.
A haul of Fred Breining, Al Holland and Ed Whitson isn’t exactly chump change for Bill Madlock, but that trade is pretty wretched as well.
Dave Kingman was sold to the Mets for $150k and zero players in ’74.
Those terrible 1970’s teams had outfielders Garry Matthews, Maddox, Kingman, Foster, Bobby Bonds, and Billy North later on, and were still able to rattle off a series of 90-Loss seasons. How was that possible?

Frank Duffy was part of two of the worst trades in baseball history
We got Frank Duffy and Vern Geishert for George Foster
Six months later Duffy was packaged with Gaylord Perry for Sam McDowell.
Foster went on to hit 244 HRs and win two world titles and an MVP award with the Reds.
Perry’s post-Giant career included two Cy Young awards.

Kingman side notes
Dave Kingman hit what I remember as the longest homer I’ve ever seen in person, in 1984 as a member of the A’s, in Old Comiskey.
And Mike Krukow was talking about Kingman during a Giants pre/ post game some years back, saying that during a batting practice his then Cubbie teammate had three baseballs in the air at the same time. The first had so much hangtime that he had the chance to hit two others before it landed. I wasn’t sure if this was some sort of Cool Papa Bell style baseball tall tale or if this was something that actually happened. If true, it’s pretty impressive.
by biff pocoroba on Jan 7, 2011 10:37 AM PST up reply actions
Plus, he could wave at an outside slider, hit a light switch, and complete the strikeout before the lights went out
Still, Kingman was one of those mediocre players who had one defining talent that everyone was just in awe of. (Like Downtown Ollie Brown’s arm.) Kingman’s dingerz; man, I still remember how scary he was. The Yankees once traded for him for ONE SERIES, a late season Red Sox series: wanted to see what would happen if you matched Kingman with the Green Monster.
He had a reputation as a prick, but I always thought a lot of that was how badly he was mishandled as a rookie.

I for one am not old enough to remember
Do tell.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
Kingman hit a ball so far at a game I was at, that if you divided it in two it would have been the two longest HRs I’d ever seen. It was at Fenway Park and it cleared the clubs across Lansdowne street and landed in the Eastbound lanes of Massachusetts Turnpike, took one enormous bounce over the Westbound lanes of the Pike and on towards Kenmore Sq. They were showing highlights of that thing bouncing along the street for weeks.
MY DAD WAS WRONG!
MY BOY NEEDS TO THROW HARDER!
He also hit a ground-rule double on an infield pop-up at the Metrodome. The reason it was a ground-rule double? The ball flew so high in the air that it got stuck in the roof.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Good thing it was basball season.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Carney Lansford told me that story (Carney says he was in the on-deck circle when it happened). Apparently they had to send a guy onto the roof the next day because the ball was clogging some sort of ventilation duct.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
I remember the day of the Tejada signing...
hearing on the Diamondbacks flagship station from one of their afternoon idiots, that the Melvin Mora acquisistion was an upgrade.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
i am going to miss Mora on the rockies
seemed like he was the 1 guy we could get out sometimes. hitting him 5th last year was madness. cargo, then tulo, and mora. one of those doesn’t fit

Mora did hit that big homerun off of Cain on that Sunday that brought the Rockies back into the game though. He’s the type of crappy player that always seems to hurt us when we least expect it.

"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I'll never forget that time he snuck home to score on an infield fly

Beyond the 63rd decimal place, an error in pi would resolve to less distance than is actually measurable.
Please let that be what you were asking about. I only get to know one answer per day.
Look out. I'm having a thought.
this
in a circle the size of the known universe.
I don’t see how that’s relevant to calculating π. You can still calculate it out to an infinite length even if it doesn’t have much physical relevance.
If the next digit can be one numeral as easily as any other, then calculation is utterly meaningless. You might as well roll a die.
Look out. I'm having a thought.
Just because it doesn’t have any physical relevance doesn’t mean that any digit is correct.
Are you an engineer or something? Just curious.

Not really an engineer, but I do think math should have a greater tie to the actual world it professes to describe.

Not an engineer.
My degree is actually in comparative literature.
And I didn’t say that any digit would be correct;
Obviously if you continue using the same formula, there is a correct outcome/digit.
What I said was that you could use any number as easily as any other because it wouldn’t make any difference.

I don’t get the trade from Tampa’s standpoint. If they’re going to even pretend to contend in 2011 they had to use their SP surplus to upgrade their bullpen and/or get a bat. Instead they chose to put a little more depth in an already fairly deep system. Plus, I guess I just don’t like the upside much on any of those prospects.
MY DAD WAS WRONG!
MY BOY NEEDS TO THROW HARDER!
I don’t think they are really trying to contend that much. They realize they have little revenue relative to their opponents and are trying to stock up on young talent again.

yeah, I think they are going to sorta contend this year, with an eye towards really contending in 2012.
But even with that, they could still win the division, especially if Desmond Jennings pans out.

The more the owner talks the more it sounds to me like he wants to just shut it down and go all David Glass or Jeffrey Loria on the league and just cash his revenue sharing checks for the next 10 years.
MY DAD WAS WRONG!
MY BOY NEEDS TO THROW HARDER!
Seems like a good trade to me. They have solid or better options at every position except DH (I believe in Dan Johnson, and they seem to like Brignac), and there are still decent options at the FA market for that – Damon, Ramirez, Branyan, Gurrero. Presumably they couldn’t afford them before (since Friedman is being forced to cut payroll), but now they can. The difference between one of these guys and whoever would be their DH right now isn’t much smaller than the difference between Garza and their current 5th starter (Davis?), if at all, and Chirinos looks like a good utility infielder. So even purely from a win now standpoint, it’s an OK move.
Looking beyond this year, it’s a choice between Garza for another 2 years and $15M-$20M, or the prospects. For a team with Tampa’s rotation and payroll, I think they’re better off with the prospects.
Their other options would be to trade Garza for a DH, which doesn’t seem like a smart idea when there’s an abundance of jobless DH’s.
If you can trade bulk for 3 years of control of a solid #3 starter
Then do it. Not all top 10 prospects are created equal. The players the Cubs gave up are not star players. They MIGHT be contributors, but they don’t have ceiling.
This is a solid trade for the Cubs in my opinion.

The Cubs are getting set to send Chris Archer, Hak-Ju Lee, Brandon Guyer and Robinson Chirinos to Tampa Bay, according to Miles. There may be additional parts to the deal for each team, Miles reports.

I think the migration of really good pitchers to the NL is interesting. Garza is not at the level of guys like Grienke or Lee, but it would appear that the NL is getting a lot stronger from a run prevention standpoint.
I wonder if league adjusted stats will account for this trend.

Ignoring Tim Mccarver since 2002.
AL vs NL OPS for 2010 by position

1b 786 vs 812
2b 717 vs 718
3b 729 vs 752
ss 666 vs 711
lf 766 vs 770
cf 726 vs 735
rf 790 vs 777
dh 757 vs 649
The only place where the AL hit better this past year is RF and DH. That’s it. But because of the DH, overall the AL outhit the NL 734 vs 723.
Of course, if there were no DH, I’m sure a certain portion of the DH offense would have transferred to first and the outfield corners. But it’s still interesting to see.

Getting to the all star game as a SP is going to be a tough task for NLers.
Basically, barrign injury Garza doesn’t have a chance, let alone guys like Cain, Latos, Sanchez and long list of others. Looking at the AL, it’s Boston, Detroit, Tampa, the A’s and… all the other staffs have huge holes. Even those staffs don’t have near the depth of the top staffs in the NL with maybe the exception of Boston.
Guys who will be fighting for all star spots in no particular order
Grienke
Lee
Halladay
Lincecum
Cain
Oswalt
Ubaldo
Josh Johnson
Latos
Hamels
Gallardo
Wainwright
Garcia
Hudson
Kershaw
Not to mention the closers, Bell, Wilson, Wagner
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I’m pretty sure the closers are just going to end up screwed…
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
If Wilson does what he did last year I can't see Bochy leaving him off.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Bochy managing certainly helps Wilson’s case.
So, correction: Every reliever except for Wilson is screwed. I mean, look at that list. Unless half of them fall of a cliff, the roster is stacked!
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."

I'd rather him push off Kershaw...

"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
Fine.
Wilson pushes Kershaw off the all star team and then pushes Latos off a cliff, does that work?
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
And then he can go all Foghorn Leghorn in his interview explaining why
Personally, I hope there are many Phillies left off the all star team.

this list reminds me of something me and my buddies were talking about the other day
who in the league are the true “aces” the guys you could throw against anybody and not feel that the other team has the advantage.
to me the real ace list is very short:
lincecum
cliff lee
halladay
wainwright
grienke
felix hernadez
josh johnson
cc sabbathia
and i think thats it imo
everyone else is second tier ace material. ie if oswalt or kershaw or cain went up against anyone of these guys you would still think you have a chance to win but the advantage would be the other team

Now we’re a week into January and they’re just now setting up for a game between one team that barely managed a winning record and another that padded its resume playing the likes of Eastern Washington and New Mexico State.

Was thinking the same thing this week.
Dedicating one day to an orgy of college football was fun, even if I did not really follow college football.
This dragging it out for a month thing is just horrible. How can this be any good for CF? New Years = Bowl Games! Who plans a trip to see a college football game on Jan 7th?
How do you get anyone to go to a game mid week in January?
Finally a signature worth having:
Fan of the World Champion San Francisco Giants.
um, a nat’l champ game will sell out FAST.
there’s no need to worry about ticket sales for that. Hey, fierrpawz, has your brother found a fire dept yet?
The ultimate curse of the man who eventually invents the time machine is that it will only be able to make one trip, and when he gets back EVERYONE will have a better idea for what to do with that one trip than what he actually did.
Proud Parent of the palm tree outside of AT&T Park. Yeah, that palm tree.
True
But many of the people who attend may just be locals who want to see the title game. Even a BCS game is difficult for a fan to make after New Year’s. My Iowa Hawkeyes played in the Orange Bowl last year on Jan. 5. If the game were on Jan. 1, I might have been able to swing the trip to Miami. But in the middle of the week? No way.
yeah, the mid-week dates are not going to attract the casual fan- ie the average college student won’t be able to make it.
I’ve been thinking they should be giving home-field but in a nearby NFL stadium to higher-ranked teams in BCS bowl games

They were here last year for the Emerald (Nuts) Bowl, but the sponsor is different this year.
My best guess is that SF has a lot of former Bostonians about, so the sponsors feel it is a team that will draw well for the game.
The Giants won the 2010 World Series. Your argument is invalid.
Et tu, Ribe?
Yeah, this is our third trip to SF in eight seasons. BC is one of the only ACC schools with a significant West Coast alumni base (Duke? UNC? UVA?) and also draws really well on TV. It’s a pretty good fit.

Which only serve to illuminate what ridiculous bullshit the bowl system really is.
The Giants won the 2010 World Series. Your argument is invalid.
Et tu, Ribe?
The best part is how the BCS president and the Big10 commissioner have both admitted that a playoff would make way more money than the bowls. So if you can’t legitimately have a champion, you’re losing money, and fans are furious about the caprice of the system, why do we still have it?
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Because it would encourage a more competitive system under free market principals. Non-AQs like Boise State and TCU go to bowls more often, take a bigger share of the pot, feed more money back into their own conferences instead of back into the Big 10, ACC, Big East, Big 12, and Pac-10 12.

The strength of your urine streams are compared, and translated into milk spraying out of your nose. If your stream is stronger, your milk-stream knocks your opponent out of the ring. If you do particularly well on any of the games, you can download and save your information to a USB stick.

All the Niners need is a competent QB and to not have their head up their asses so much to be a playoff team. Possibly even a good playoff team.
A competent QB you can get in a trade. I’m not talking Joe Montana II, I’m talking Steve DeBerg. The head up their asses part will be helped, immensely, by having a coaching staff that knows what they’re doing and is not trying to run draw plays every single fucking down.
So today is a big-ass step in the right direction.
Pardon for the attempt at analysis, I will now go dance down the streets of San Francisco in joy we got a real coach.
That’s true. John Frickin’ Kitna would be a huge upgrade. But no, the 49ers management decided to use the #1 pick on Alex Smith. That’s worse than Joe Smith. Or Joe Barry Carroll. Roughly Rick Mirer-like.

Should have traded him when he had more value.
Probably could have gotten Love for Monta, then not signed Lee. Love is better than either of those guys anyway.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I think just having Curry inherently undermines Monta's trade value.
Look at what Minnesota got for Jefferson. That was in part because everyone knew they didn’t want both Jefferson and Love.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I don’t think that’s true…Warriors need a C…the fact that they have two AS guards don’t diminish their worth…
How is this different from the Minnesota example?
Just swap strengths and weaknesses and you have the same dynamic.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Well…I think Minnesota was stupid to trade Jefferson…there is no reason to believe that Love and Jefferson couldn’t play together…
Not to mention it’s like Love is untouchable in Minnesota…on the contrary he is mentioned in every trade
Not to mention it’s like Love is untouchable in Minnesota…on the contrary he is mentioned in every trade
Did you mean he is or isn’t mentioned in every trade. I assume you meant to say, “It’s not like…”
Anyway, I can’t see him staying there past this year as he can opt out and will probably get max money in FA. That is the only reason he might get mentioned in trade talks, because his value is just plain silly right now when you consider he’s making less than 4 million and he will probably leave after this season.
Too bad the Warriors traded away talented players and gave Lee a long term big money deal.
I think Love’s upside is extremely high. His shooting percentages mirror Curry’s and he pulls 15 rebounds a game. On top of that he’s as good of a passer as there is for a PF.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
One thing I forgot to add
Love is probably going to get his FG% up closer to 50% and when he does that, he will be a truly unique player. He’s been averaging 21 ppg while shooting far below what he did last year on 2Pt FG.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Yeah…“it’s not like”…don’t have the edit button from the McC premium
I hope the Warriors sign him to play aside Lee…Lee is offensive minded while Love is more defensive minded…Love can play C
I don’t really think Warriors traded away anyone really talented…Randolph has the biggest upside and I don’t know if it will translate to anything.
I wouldn't play Love at C.
I mean I guess he could, but he’s really like 6-8 or 6-9 not the 6-10 he’s listed at.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I think teh T Wolves are better with Love and Beasely
than they were with Love and Jefferson.
They just have a spectacularly bad backcourt.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
Well, then the Warriors really had their hands tied. If you have both, you weaken Monta’s trade value. If you trade Monta with the expectation of getting Curry, then you’re counting on Curry to succeed.
The Giants won the 2010 World Series. Your argument is invalid.
Et tu, Ribe?
Curry is better than Monta, and there isn't much question about IMO
His hooting percentages are all better, much better when it comes to FT and 3Pt
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
If I were GM a guy like Brewer (I promise, not a Minnesota fan) would interest me. He can defend anyone and he really cant be this bad defensively. I think he’s in Rambis’ doghouse for some reason and it is effectign him. I think Curry with a long defense first guy who can get to the rim would be a nice combo—a Trevor Ariza/Eddie Jones in his prime kind of guy.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
OTOH
Udoh’s been a lot of fun to watch on the defensive end so far.
He’s green, but he definitely makes the Warriors a better team.

I didn't realize you were referring to last year.
I guess they didn’t really know what they had in Curry until after the trade deadline. That said they could have traded him (Monta) in the offseason.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
But at that point, you already have the problem you’re describing.
They can’t both be on the same team without weakening both players’ trade value.
Jefferson + Love = Curry + Ellis

but I think the more people see them together the greater problem this appears to be to other GMs.
Splitting hairs, I know. And for the most part you’re right.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I mean, at this point if you want to trade Monta, yes you’re going to be getinn 80 cents on the dollar, but he’s still a VERY valuable player. He’s a top 5 player who last I heard leads the league in steals… If the Warriors play it right, they can get good value for him, though it might take a 3 team trade to do so.

I would never contest that Ellis is one of the 10 best players in the league.
However, you can count on him to score in bunches. On a better team you’d obviously see his scoring go down, but he’d be a great accent to a contending team that needs someone who can cut into the lane and make shots off the key. He’s not too bad at distributing the ball, either.
He’s not a top tier player, but he definitely merits consideration as a 1a.

"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
I don’t know, I feel like Boston is kind of at its saturation point, and wouldn’t gel with Monta’s lackadasical attitude towards defense.
You have your star shooters in Allen and Pierce, presence in the middle with Shaq, Garnett, and Davis, and Rondo who is apparently a cyborg sent from the future to pad his assists total. I don’t know where Ellis fits in other than to come off the bench, and while I won’t speculate as to whether he’d accept that kind of role, it also seriously limits his value.
Dude averages like 40 minutes a game. That’s a skill in itself; you want him to be on a team where you can squeeze 3 quarters out of him a night.

Meh, I’m not invested enough in the M’s to ever be particularly heartbroken over them.
Though this year…dear God…enough to make any baseball fan sad. I went to a White Sox game that ended with a guy in the seat next to me pretending to stab himself in the chest and shouting “OH MY GOD, THIS SEASON!”

Yeah, I said the Royals. I must be a glutton for punishment.

OT: Zodiac Signs
Anyone here believe in this stuff? I’m a Sagittarius, and this morning I made a long list of all the girls I’ve ever dated, and their signs, and realized something- My best relationships all came with Leos, Libras and Aquarius’- the exact signs that match best with my sign. And my marriage was to a Pisces, which according to the sites, is “a match made in hell”. And it sure was.
I’m already a very superstitious person from all my years of baseball, and my Sagittarius profile matches me to a T. I think I’m gonna experiment with this for 2011, and only date signs that match mine.

All of Mission Bay used to be water. However, both the 3rd and 4th street bridges are old for a reason. The ballpark is iirc not on fill or rubble. While it also is not on bedrock, it was built recently enough that I trust it in a quake a thousand times before I trust an old soft-story wood-frame place on harder ground.

The straw was being told Thursday at 4:15PM that Mister Toddler would not be allowed back in school until a doctor checked his itchy eyes. Eczema or allergies, of course, but a bad diagnosis isn’t the issue, it’s the sixteen hours notice for an ‘issue’ they had a week to think about.
The underlying problem is competence versus cost. All the teachers bar one are new to the field and basically provide childcare. As best we can tell, the school has Mister Toddler acting as its special-needs therapist with the autism-spectrum kid in his class. And they charge more than anyone else. So it’s time to move. But that’s stressful, hence the bad Friday.
‘Qualify’?

Must be low-income to qualify. Most daycare / preschool jobs pay crap with little or no benefits so you tend to get younger more inexperienced people and have enormous turnover.

When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the Capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.

I saw the World Series Trophy today!
It wasn’t listed on the official tour schedule. I was at the Auto Show in San Jose, and I saw the Trophy Truck. I was test driving a GMC Terrain at the time and did everything I could not to crash the car before parking and running like a maniac for the truck.
The trophy was inside with a really quick, short line. There was one girl wearing a Pujols jersey towards the end which was acceptable compared to the two guys that posed with a Dodgers jersey at the end.
I’ll probably go again during the official tour stop in the area to get a picture of it in Giants gear.
Chevy Equinox
Meh.
Decent size, good height so that I could see what curb I’m about to run over, but I wouldn’t buy it.
And you imposed no shenanigans upon the Dodger clads?

They worked for Toyota
I know when I was doing the test drive, they mentioned most of the Toyota employees were from SoCal. I definitely booed (along with everyone else that saw the abomination.)

They might be Giants...but they are definitely WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

Given the way they were celebrating it was this to the second power.
Happy for the hawks though. I love underdogs.
“I saw you”, said Aubrey. He removed his undershirt gingerly, as the sticky champagne had formed a adhesive layer between his skin and the cloth.
“Saw me where?” Pat intoned. He shot a furtive glance across the showers at Aubrey, stealing a second to glance at his ass. Pat had always been an ass man.
“You know. On the field. After. With… him”.
“Oh, don’t even get me started, Aubs. It was fleeting thing. You know I don’t have any feelings for Juan.”
Aubrey stopped undressing. He stared down at the floor. He believed Pat, of course he did. He knew Pat had no feelings for Juan. But he wasn’t sure if Pat had feelings for anyone. And wasn’t that the more important question?

And why do I no longer have new comments to look at? With how many comments many of McC’s posts have, they’re impossible to navigate without the “new comments” feature.

So do you think Texas would take Rowand?
For him?
Long shot
Kevin Mitchell has a black belt in keeping it real.
They probably would
But he’s one of the few people that has a worse deal than Rowand
"You think someone that big would be more well endowed" Aubrey Huff's mother on Pat Burrell
I thought he was going to punch me and I was totally accepting of it. I was planning a reason to thank him if he did." Brian Wilson on Buster Posey
Follow me: Twitter.com/gobroks
We'd lose on that
Young is a like a 7 time current All-Star (only because Girardi accidentally named him to the team in ‘10)- you won’t see him get swapped for Rowand straight up. Rangers would have to be real stupid to do that.
NASCAR? why would people pay their hard earned money to sit and watch cars go aroud in circles when you can just take a chair and sit in the freeway for free?

hello my fellow McCovens! i edited this video highlighting the Giants’ amazing run to a championship, and thought i’d share it with you! hope you all enjoy it!
and yes, that is the song from “Rocky” ….. i mean, we WERE underdogs throughout the whole series, so i thought it’d fit well. haha!

Well done! I loved it, especially the last 30 seconds or so. The shot of the old parade, then Matty with the trophy, then Timmy and Wilson.

I think it’s also tough because it seems to me like chubby faces are the last part of a person’s body to thin out. That could just be some kind observational myth that I made up, but I firmly believe it. And when the body is somewhat obscured (by a shirt or a table, for instance), the face is the only real point of reference. But then the face is still chubby.
No matter, anyway. I don’t really think his weight was a problem for a whole lot of anything except his long-term health. I really just think his body was worn down from playing non-stop baseball for basically two straight years. So good for him on a personal level if he’s getting in shape, but on a baseball level I’m just happy he’s not sitting in winter ball this year wearing himself down for the actual season.
