Eric Karros AND AJ Shitzinsky in the PreGame?

Yes.
And sadly (for me) so is the rest of the team this year.

I really think it’s just him. The defense has holes, but it’s serviceable. Allen and Jones are a decent pair of receivers. Sofele has acquitted himself well at the running back spot. The o-line is okay.
It’s Maynard. This isn’t a Rose Bowl team with an actual QB. But top-25 seems right.

Why did we go out of our way to get him, again?
by WhatsAMataHari on Oct 22, 2011 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, the alternative at the time was Brock Mansion, and Maynard is probably better than him. Tedford obviously doesn’t think much of Bridgford anymore.
Also was been helpful in keeping Keenan Allen around.
I’d be happy to see one of the freshmen right now, though.

I have 11 13-gallon plastic bags full of clothes to donate, and another 3 or 4 of clothes and shoes unsuitable for donation that will be recycled or heading for the landfill. They’re cumulative from both kids.

Ivan Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro, Buddy Bell, Toby Harrah, Frank Howard, Juan Gonzalez could all be fairly considered better than Michael Young. PItching wise they’ve had Nolan Ryan, Bert Blyleven, Kenny Rogers, Gaylord Perry, Kevin Brown, and Fergie Jenkins (although a lot of those guys weren’t in Texas for their peaks). I don’t think it is really fair to the Rangers to claim Michael Young is anything like their best.

Fun Trivia
The Texas Rangers at one time employed Nolan Ryan, Charlie Hough, Kevin Brown, Jamie Moyer, and Kenny Rogers all on the same team. Ryan and Hough were both in their 40’s, while Brown, Moyer, and Rogers all pitching until at least 40 in their respective careers.

Who you liking in the WCC? who's your team?
Yea, i’ve been a WCC fan for like 15 years. Huge Saint Mary’s fan, since i lived right there. But i do believe it’s going to help having BYU in the conference now.

One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
My mom went to Santa Clara and it’s the closest university to where I live, so that’s my team. BYU will definitely raise the conference’s profile, but I’m not sure that they’re a good fit. The WCC is a conference of small Catholic schools (plus Pepperdine, which is only differs in its religious affiliation) that are almost all on or near the coast; BYU is pretty far inland, but more importantly it’s a big university with facilities and resources that are on par with some of the most prominent public schools in the country. Because of its religious affiliation, it has access to a nationwide recruiting base that the other schools can’t match; can you imagine Jimmer Fredette committing to any of the other schools in the conference?
It would be great if it worked out, but I’m worried BYU will end up dominating the conference.

They are probably all stuck in traffic.
We went to an international friendly at Stanford about 5? 6? years ago. The traffic was so bad we vowed we’d never go to another event there. At the end of the game they had ONE exit out of the parking lot. ONE. Everything else was chained, barricaded, or police officered off. It took us over 2 hours just to leave Stanford.
I know students are probably within walking distance so maybe it’s midterms or something too.

Brown was 2-5
Panik didn’t play
Couple of pitchers pitched a couple of scoreless innings (Rosin and Fleet)
Crawford is now batting .353/.389/.588. I know. SSS, minor league pitching and he will never hit in the big leagues, etc.
P.S. Can’t get a Belt update. The internet broke in the DR or something.

“He told me that he lied about his age,” Deidre(Pujols) said. “He told me he was 21, but he was only 18.” Lying was not in (Albert)Pujols’ nature. However, he had done it because he did not think Deidre, who was twenty-one, would go on the date if she knew what his true age was.
Wait, there's more:
As it turned out, he was not the only one being less than honest. “I had a confession of my own,”Deidre said. Deidre explained to Pujols that she was a single mother. She had an infant daughter. And there was more. Her daughter, Isabella, suffered from Down syndrome, an incurable disease that often includes a combination of birth defects.

I actually was pulling for Texas at the start of this series, but after last night’s performance, I’m starting to pull for my National League compatriots. Nobody gave us or the Cardinals a chance. There’s a possibility that both the Giants and Cardinals could win the World Series in 5 games.

I understand why they do reviews but it always takes them like five minutes to make a decision. It really takes the fun out of say a last minute drive when the biggest play in that drive is held up by review and after five minutes, everyone’s over cheering. The end of an NFL game is starting to be as painful to watch as the end of an NBA game

The Redzone channel (I think there are two of them — one DirectTV, one Comcast) is different. I have the Comcast one. Their favorite phrase is “Meanwhile…” then — boom — you are off to another game (1 of 7). It is insane. You forget what you were watching…

Micah Richards is a youth product. So was Stephen Ireland, who was a big part of the swap deal for Milner.
Kompany, Kolarov, de Jong, AJ, and Hart are all players brought to the club as youngsters before they were at their full potential; heck, you may even be able to add Balotelli to the list given his age and his potential.
they usually don’t dish out massive amounts of money like City or Chelsea do to bring players who are already superstars to the team… Red Sox or Yankees style…..
See, I can sympathize with a supporter of a club other than Chelsea or United or Liverpool if they give this argument, but to grouse about City’s spending with 28 million on Veron, 27 million on Ferdinand, 27 million on Rooney, 30 million on Berbatov in United’s rear view mirror as well as a gross spending account that’s pretty close to even with City’s over the last decade when inflation is accounted for…
Well, like, Posey, I ain’t havin’ it.
actually, that’s kind of true- Rooney was bought from Everton and then there was the glorious Christian Ronaldo era. They don’t go out and buy full squads like Chelsea and City, though (if I was an Everton fan, I’d be sending out emails to any rich oil billionaire begging them to buy Everton. Speaking of which, maybe one wants to buy the Giants?)

I remember him in the World Cup, before he signed with United, being hyped up beyond belief. It was the World Cup where he was a little “over eager” in tackling Rooney and almost caused an international incident. It’s why it was such a big story when United signed him.
