PrintI received an e-mail from the folks at SmugMug, asking if I’d want to give away five of these:
They’re huge panoramas of Mays Field after Edgar Renteria’s RBI single off Mark Lowe in Game Two of the World Series. They’re really, really big -- described as "couch-sized" -- and the best part about them is that they remind you that the Giants won the World Series.
Don’t know much about SmugMug other than a) they’re a place for photographers to host, proof, archive and sell pictures, and b) my father-in-law swears by them, and that guy has camera equipment that costs more than a full set of artificial limbs. You can learn more here. About SmugMug, not my father-in-law.
Before you start in with the cephlapod and razor jokes, the only thing either I or SB Nation are getting for this are the prints to give away. I’m doing this for the five people who will win a cool print. SO SHUT YOUR YAPPER.
The way to win it is an Edgar Renteria-themed scavenger hunt on Baseball Reference. It’s not quite a trivia contest because you shouldn’t know these off the top of your head. Well, one of them you probably will.
So six questions. The first five folks to answer them all correctly will get a print. E-mail the answer to mccoveychronicles@yahoo.com. Don't put the answer in the thread -- that's more of a place to make fun of me and talk about lunch.
- What was the count when Edgar Renteria hit his RBI single off Lowe in Game Two?
- Name the three pitchers Renteria has homered off in the postseason.
- Before 2010, Renteria’s highest single-series OPS was in an NLDS series against what team?
- What former Giant was the starting pitcher for the Marlins in Renteria’s debut?
- Renteria was the second Giant from Colombia. Who was the first?
- If Renteria is on a southbound train going 58 MPH, and Cliff Lee is on a northbound train going 71 MPH, and they’re 52 miles apart when the trains start, wasn’t Renteria’s homer against Lee awesome?
Good luck! Couch-sized! This should end fairly quickly, so get on it!
Contest is over. The winners have been e-mailed.
The answers were:
1. 3-2
2. Brian Anderson, C.J. Wilson
3. Dodgers
4. Pat Rapp!
5. Yamid Haad!!
6. Yes. Yes, it was.

Also, the staging and action sequences felt super cheesy. This is probably something you just need to get used to — I love Buffy, after all.
I recommend watching ‘The Doctor Dances’. That was a great episode Eccelston was in.
I mean, you really should watch Tennant when he meets Martha Jones. Very good episodes that season. Especially, when the Doctor became John Smith. Great foreshadowing on the return of The Master.

I had a coworker who had, as he called it ‘simple tastes’. He was completely freaked out when I had some pho with a little tendon in it.
And then he happily ate some mcdonalds.
I’m sure there are ‘worse’ things in that burger meat.

I’m worried a whole lot less about the tendon content and whole lot more about one, the condition of the animals and the attendant effect on their meat, two, the processing it undergoes, and three, the execution of those processes. Some tendon or anus thrown in doesn’t bother me at all compared to that.

So...more of the same
The Giants’ 2012 payroll obligation, according to Cot’s, is $72.933MM including Affeldt’s buyout. Arbitration eligible players could put them in the $113MM range, $5MM shy of this year’s $118MM payroll. It’s difficult to see the Giants taking payroll much higher, so barring trades or money-saving extensions GM Brian Sabean will have to go cheap at shortstop and in the outfield.

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I used to be a big Easterbrook fan because he’s mildly entertaining and often writes about things only tangentially connected to the NFL. Then I realized he was a sanctimonious ass whose leaps of “logic” strain credulity. Example: his unabashed hatred of all things related to the NFL draft, especially the drafting of WRs in the 1st round. Instead of calling some GMs stupid, he calls all NFL front-office types stupid. It gets infuriating after a while. So, after a while, I stopped reading his column.

Seriuosly man...
where is my brain. I am thinking things that don’t get translated into my posts threw my fingers and keyboard…
I turned on the Dbacks game on yesterday for a few minutes while driving home.HeTom Candiotti made my ears bleed talking about how pitchers who aren’t as good get psyched up to pitch against the best pitchers, as he implied this was why Ian Kennedy was leading Cliff Lee 3-0 at the time

Relief! I Thank you for your Lefferts.

Yeah, pitchers hardly even notice who is pitching for the other team, until they’re batting. Why, oh, why do they constantly frame it as a battle of wills against opposing pitchers?
And why do pitchers get all the credit/blame for pitch selection? They’re not doing that part. They are only responsible for execution. Kruk does this all the time and he knows better.

And, when do get over this whole, pitcher and wins thing?
I mean both teams have offenses.
And most likely last nights AZ v. PHI outcome was a product of a bad night for Philly hitters and not an abrupt and miraculous improvement by Ian Kennedy. why can’t idiots like Candiotti just embrace the fact that the game is full of chance that can not be controlled?

To me that's the best thing about baseball
the random chance that confounds the “experts.”

It's not random chance...

Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!

Enjoyed this part
Only Southern Californians fully understand what happened to the Dodgers during the McCourt Error. Six decades, Dodger Stadium, Vin Scully, Koufax and Drysdale, Garvey-Cey-Lopes-Russell, Fernandomania, Orel’s streak, Gibson’s homer, Gagne coming out of the bullpen breathing fire, Dodger Blue … the McCourts were crapping on all of it. Desecrating the brand. Maybe it took a sneaky loan and a poor Giants fan getting senselessly beaten into a coma for Selig to finally intervene, but he did. To his credit. When a commissioner keeps siding with owners over fans, he becomes nothing but a puppet with strings trickling out of his back. Selig stuck up for Dodgers fans. He did the right thing.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
That was a good column.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.

Oh Jesus
My former adopted Giant is now with Padres AAA affiliate. Apparently he hasn’t changed; an .870 OPS and 4 errors in 51 chances at 3B.
The thong is, it happened.
holy crap, they are trying that guy at 3B?
lolol

he’s a great one to think about when someone says “anyone can play first”
why isn’t he on an AL team? Seems like he’d be tailor made to play DH
