Giants/A's Series Preview

Print7:05 p.m.
Jon Miller: Welcome to Giants baseball on the radio, everybody! Tonight, the San Francisco Giants take on the Oakland A’s in an interleague match-up between geographical rivals. Both teams feature excellent pitching, so this figures to be a taut, low-scoring series, where every mistake is maximized, and every run is precious.
8:01 p.m.
Dave Flemming: And we move to the bottom of the fourth inning. Trevor Cahill is finishing his warm-up t ... and wait, what’s going on here ... Cody Ross was running from first to second when the catcher threw down to second after Cahill finished his warm-up tosses. Ross was running from first to second, and the A’s put a tag on ... is he out? ... Now Miguel Tejada is leaving the on-deck circle, Ross is heading back to the dugout ... the home-plate umpire is calling them both out. They’re out! It’s a strike-’em-out, throw-’em-out double play! Wow, before the inning started, Bruce Bochy sent Ross on a hit-and-run, betting on contact, and the A’s got the double play. Amazing!
8:11 p.m.
Jon Miller: And Josh Willingham pops out.
8:11 p.m.
Jon Miller: And Kevin Kouzmanoff pops out.
8:11 p.m.
Jon Miller: And Daric Barton walks.
8:11 p.m.
Jon Miller: Halfway between home and first, Daric Barton popped out, so the threat is over.
9:24 p.m.
Duane Kuiper: Vogelsong and Cahill matching up in a classic here. Each pitcher has allowed one hit, both to the opposing pitcher, who were then picked off. There's no score here in the ... seventh. Or eighth. I, uh, drew a picture of a dinosaur in my scorebook instead of keeping score, and I didn’t even realize it. I ... must have lost consciousness for a bit, and that’s the kind of thing, folks, that will make you draw a dinosaur.
11:38 p.m.
Mike Krukow: It’s the 15th inning, and some jackass with a bat is walking up to the plate.
leans out window.
GRAB SOME PINE, MEAT. YOU SIT DOWN, YOU GRAB SOME PINE, AND YOU STOP WASTING OUR TIME. GET BACK TO THE D ... YEAH, YOU. GET BACK THERE. GRAB THE BENCH. SIT ON IT. YOU’RE WASTING OUR TIME.
1:44 a.m. (Saturday morning)
Duane Kuiper: Scoreless into the 23rd. Lee Jones is next door, telling me that there’s no alcohol anywhere in here. That so, Lee? How about outside? You’re telling me that there’s no way you can scare up a beer? There’s no one here with a flask? I’ll settle for a box of wine. Dammit, Lee, get me something. I will cut you.
3:35 a.m.
Duane Kuiper: So after the fruit ferments, you add the moldy bread and sugar cubes. You’ll need about 50 sugar cubes if you have them. Mike ... Mike, can you ...yeah. So Mike just released some of the gases in the bag. If you don’t do that, the bag will pop, and you’ll find yourself knee-deep in prison wine.
5:21 a.m.
Mike Krukow: Scoreless into the 38th. Don’t care. You watching out there? Yeah? Kids are probably sleeping, so I’m just going to draw dirty pictures on the telestrator. Here goes ...wellllll ... what’s that going to be? You’re thinking a submarine, right? Well ... whoa, you were way off! That’s no submarine! Hahahaha! That’s no submarine! Now I’ll eliminate the field. E-limin-ated. Everyone needs to grab some pine. This is a disgrace.
7:49 a.m.
Jon Miller: And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men -- trained pitchers. These men who pitched with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love ... but they had the strength, the strength, to do that. If I had ten rotations of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly.
7:51 a.m.
Jon Miller: I watched Cody Ross crawl along the edge of the foul pole. That’s my dream; that’s my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of the foul pole ... and surviving.
9:30 a.m.
Dave Flemming: I have kids, you know? Kids. Beautiful twins, and ... the other one. The, uh, other one. Oh, no, what’s her name ... I can’t remember. Is it a girl? Do have three girls? Do I even have girls? Do I even have kids? Where am I? Why does the electric sign say that it’s 0-0 in the bottom of the 666th inning? Oh, the gnashing of teeth has begun. Oh, my, the gnashing. This isn’t good, folks.
11:23 a.m.
Anderson Cooper: It looks as though three helicopters will make the first airdrop -- the first wave, if you will. Gov. Jerry Brown has appealed for help, and President Obama is expected to offer Federal help.
1:34 p.m.
Aaron Rowand: Fastball fastball fastball fastball fastball fastball fastball fastball swing! DAMMIT. A sinker? Does Cahill even throw one of those?
3:41 p.m.
Daric Barton: Okay. Act natural. I think Billy’s watching this at-bat. Just don’t swing. Take the pitch. Good, good. Now take the next one, Daric. Good. Good. You’re down 0-2, but Billy’s watching. He’ll notice you one of these days. Yes, yes. He’ll notice you, and then everything will go according to plan.
4:22 p.m.
Dave Flemming: gnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnashgnash
4:38 p.m.
Duane Kuiper: You know what? Screw this.
Duane Kuiper walks down to the field and grabs a bat. He walks up to the plate, takes a pitch, and then sends the next one into McCovey Cove.
Duane Kuiper: AND WE ... ARE ... GOING ... HOME!
A flash of light. Ascension. The end of the world. The righteous are called up. Brandon Belt is also called up, though he will receive sporadic playing time. The wicked stay behind to perish in a river of blood and bile. The Giants maintain a slim division lead over the Rockies.

Wow
I let my anger go from last year’s call against the Mets, but he really should at least be suspended, if not fired.
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
He’s become one of the most laughable umps in the game. If the fans don’t take him seriously, how can the players and coaches? It’s embarrassing.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.

“Well he made a great throw and looked to make a nice tag so he was out”
"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 real quote is worse
Minutes after the game, Cuzzi said that he had not yet seen the replay. “I’ll look at it, but I figured I’d eat first,” he said. “(Blanco) made a decent attempt to put the tag on him. That’s what it looked to me, and that’s why I called him out.”

Compare that with a real umpire:

“I had a great angle, and I missed the call.”

Brandon Crawford: Your SF Giants 2012 Opening Day starting SS?
Jayson Stark put together a coherent article on the scheduling balance of interleague
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&page=rumblings110520
The best part is probably this:
“Right now,” O’Dowd says, “the wild-card team doesn’t really get penalized. The wild card’s chances of winning are virtually the same as everyone else. But if that should change, with an expanded playoff format, the schedule takes on a whole different dimension.”
It’s not that tough to explain what he means. Suppose Texas and Oakland are both playoff teams next year. But suppose the Rangers go 5-1 against the Astros in interleague play while the A’s go 2-4 against the Giants — and then the Rangers win the AL West by two games.
Think about the impact. The A’s would probably get sentenced to a precarious wild-card duel with the AL East runner-up, while the Rangers get to line up their division series rotation. Biggggggg difference.
As is par for the course on ESPN, don’t read the comments.

I've complained about Interleague for three years now about the unbalanced schedule it creates
But after seeing O’Dowd complain about it, I fucking love Interleague!
Nope
Still hate it. Makes little sense to me. I’d honestly rather watch the Giants play the Nats and Pirates a couple extra times than some random AL team.

I’m guessing the reason they do that tho is to reduce rainouts, which makes sense.

Yeah, rescheduling rained-out interleague games must be a giant pain in the ass. Since IL play isn’t going anywhere, I wish they’d just stick to the natural rivalries. Those are still silly, but at least they’re kind of fun.

The CDC has got it covered
Normal natural disasters are floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes and being prepared for disaster means being ready for any type of emergency — including zombies. On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blogged about preparing for disaster and reminded readers that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, basic preparedness will help even if there are flesh-eaters roaming.
The CDC recommends that planning ahead for zombies is really no different than preparing for other types of disaster. The same basic principles apply.
According to the CDC blog, if a zombie apocalypse breaks out, the CDC will investigate the event just like they would any other disease outbreak. CDC investigation and assistance would include “consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine).” Just like any other disease outbreak, the CDC would try to determine where and how the outbreak started and would make every effort to determine how to best deal with an outbreak of zombies.
Learning the source of the infection would include discovering if a virus or toxin caused the outbreak and if there is any treatment or cure.
The CDC encourages citizens to be prepared for any emergency event—whether it is zombies or the more common hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. Emergency planning for zombies will also suffice in the event of such natural disasters but as always the CDC urges everyone to be ready for whatever might a hazard and disruption of our daily lives.

“Plan your evacuation route. When zombies are hungry they won’t stop until they get food (i.e., brains), which means you need to get out of town fast! Plan where you would go and multiple routes you would take ahead of time so that the flesh eaters don’t have a chance! This is also helpful when natural disasters strike and you have to take shelter fast.”

Who are the suitors?
There are no indications the Yankees have given any serious thought to releasing Jorge Posada any time soon. But if they ever did, you can mark this down: He WOULD get another job. Fast. When we asked one scout how long it would take Posada to find a new team if the Yankees cut him loose, we got this answer: “I don’t think it would be 24 hours.”
“What I see,” the scout said, “is a guy who has gone from being involved in every pitch to inertia, and has had trouble adjusting to it. Look, he’s obviously aging, and that’s part of it. But I see a guy who still has the ability to hit a fastball. He’s cheating like hell at times, but most of them do.”

Also this
The Yankees clearly had their reasons for handling Posada-gate and, before that, the Derek Jeter negotiations, the way they did. But from afar, other players are scratching their heads over what they see as rough treatment of two icons. And it’s hard not to wonder if that could cause future free agents to go the Cliff Lee route — and turn down the Yankees’ mega-millions to play someplace less combustible.
What? Yankees were too mean to Jeter and Posada?

It happens right here...
I have locked the door and thrown the key down into the front path.
I don’t want to go out, and I don’t want to have anybody come in, till John comes.
I want to astonish him.
I’ve got a rope up here that even Jennie did not find. If that woman does get out, and tries to get away, I can tie her!
But I forgot I could not reach far without anything to stand on!
This bed will not move!
I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner—but it hurt my teeth.
Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it! All those strangled heads and bulbous eyes and waddling fungus growths just shriek with derision!
I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try.
Besides I wouldn’t do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued.
I don’t like to look out of the windows even— there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast.
I wonder if they all come out of that wall-paper as I did?
But I am securely fastened now by my well-hidden rope—you don’t get me out in the road there !
I suppose I shall have to get back behind the pattern when it comes night, and that is hard!
It is so pleasant to be out in this great room and creep around as I please!

Try Open University
You can enroll in Cal State LA or any of the CSUs by registering for an Open University class. It’s all the regular classes, but for students who aren’t admitted. They might not let you do it if they already have you in the system as a student, but it’s worth a try.

- AT&T Park is stupid

The guy who sits in front of me regularly drinks wine at the game. However, it is from a clear plastic cup so technically it is not a “glass” of wine.

The funniest thing about the "Give's A's san jose" plea's
Is the fact that people think that san jose will give a shit about the A’s when barely anyone in oakland cares about them.
"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."
San Jose will. This is what would happen:
A’s move to SJ stadium
SJ embraces A’s.
Silicon Valley pumps $$ into A’s
A’s maintain success
Now none of that is so bad. The giants will still get ad revenue and stuff.
But…
Families will take their kids to A’s games. The kids will grow up A’s fans. The South Bay will no longer support the Giants to even the same extent that it does currently.
That right there is why the Giants won’t give it up. They will lose the fanbase of the most populous area of the Bay. Bad business.

Part of it is that their stadium right now sucks. A nicer ballpark in a nicer area would certainly bring in more people. But as positiveuphemism points out, those are some huge territorial rights for the Giants to be giving up at this point.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
And Oakland sucks and is no longer a really viable location for a baseball team. They’d be better off trying to move to Dublin or something and hoping to draw from CCC.

At what point does Huff leave the middle of the lineup.
I’m not saying bench him, but when does Bochy move him out of the 3/4/5 spots because he has simply been a vacuum. I know that might not be the wisest decision, but it’s one that might get discussed. But at what point is it discussed? .200? He’s hitting what, .211 right now?

LARS BUSTED IN FED STING
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Authorities in Southern California have detained a woman accused of trying to sell a moon rock for $1.7 million.
The Riverside County sheriff’s department says the woman was detained Thursday during an undercover meeting at a Lake Elsinore restaurant where she showed the rock for an undercover NASA investigator.
Moon rocks are considered national treasures that cannot be sold.
Also, NASA has undercover investigators?

They were given away as gifts to various politicians and world leaders
Some rocks were either forgot about by those people, stolen or sold. It is illegal to sell them even if you somehow become in possesion of them legally.

Mine was at a nearby community center. Grad nights are weird, especially the ones where attendance is mandatory so the kids don’t go out and drink.

It got me to realize that our school administration didn’t want to go out and drink after getting our diploma, and didn’t trust us to make the choice on our own.
Instead of making my own choices as an adult, I got locked in a community center overnight with buffet tables, poker, and DDR.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.

"And what was once torture for an entire city became a magical ride into an Orange October."
I get the impression that the mandatory attendance thing is a more recent development and is by no means universal. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that many public schools, especially the largest ones, forego them altogether.
A lot of the kids I went to high school with were probably more sheltered than you are; that’s why they felt the need to lock us in a community center. Nothing better to do.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I’ve never heard of mandatory attendance before. That would suck.

It was awesome! Particularly because it was only the second time I’d been to Disneyland and because some people on the bus ate special brownies, not knowing their potency, and we got to make fun of half our classmates who were literally too stoned to enjoy themselves. They basically just sat on the park benches all night and drooled.

OT: So I was in chicago over the weekend
I went to saturdays game and inexplicably sat through 6 innings of that game and am still sick as a dog because of it. I can’t believe that game was played let alone the fact that the cubs scored 0 runs felt like that had 1,500 baserunners and every count was 3-2. Still had a great time though I went to the full shilling across the street and got hammered and talked sports with chicagoians while praying the game would not be resumed. Wrigleys a great place and people in chicago are pretty damn nice didn’t have a single obscenity shouted my way.

Enjoy your retirement DeRosa. You got a ring and um…12 million for getting some surgeries.
Maybe you can coach or something.

Expected
Happy his contract comes off the books this years. Between him and Tejada that will free up 13 million dollars for arbitration and free agents.

Yah i was just looking at it
TeHaha: 6.5 mil
Derosa: 6 mil
Affeldt: 4.5 mil
Cody: 6.3 mil
Fontenot: 1 mil
Burrell: 1 mil
All potential guys we could just let go.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Fontenot can be had for cheap as a first time arb-er. Cody will probably be took rich for the Giants’ blood unless he accepts a very team-friendly deal and doesn’t mind getting more than two years. Buty you can certainly count on the top three coming off the books, which is a cool $17 million which will come in handy for extending Matt and/or Timmy.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
I think they keep Fontenot
Probably only get a few million in arb, and he’s a really useful player to have around with our lack of infield depth. Ross is probably superfluous – maybe if Belt absolutely can’t play the outfield and Thomas Neal bottoms out in AAA, but even then there’s Nate. And if Belt can play the outfield (specifically right) then I’d rather see that money go to Pat, who’s a valuable weapon to have and will probably still be an acceptable LF for a year or two.
I’ll miss Affeldt. But not that much.

I remain dubious about how much Pat has left in the tank. But it keeps my expectations low, so Pat’s just that more awesome in the meantime. Ross’ contract probably depends on how well Pat does this year, but Cody could end up in left field in 2012 if the stars align properly.
As for Fontenot, I don’t imagine he’ll make more than $2 million in his first arb year, and he may not make even that much.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Yah if Pat is cool with being a right handed Matt Stairs for one mil again
I’m down for that.
If Ross comes back wouldn’t he be in RF since either Huff or Belt would be in LF?
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I won’t speculate on the Belt situation, just because I don’t know what his odds of playing an outfield corner everyday project to be. I haven’t heard anything about his OF defense except for the fact that he used to play plenty of RF before he went to first base full time. Like I said, it’s more of a “stars aligning” scenario than a likely option.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
yeah, I wouldn't want to pay a lot for Pat
As awesome as he’s been, he’s also a mid-30s clankmitt who’s not far that removed from playing his way out of DHing. That said, I doubt he’d want a huge contract if the Giants brought him back.

Huff, Rowand, and Sanchez come off the books after next year
I hope Sabes retires so we have someone who will actually spend the money properly

Finally, Gs officially miss Josh Johnson in FLA series. Draw Nolasco, Volstad and Sanchez. Not exactly a piece of cake.
I’ll take missing Josh Johnson.

Brian Sabean is the guy who runs into Costco to buy meat for sale on its expiration date, except he ignores funky smells and insists on paying full price and leaving a generous tip. The Giants have $108 million through 2012 committed to Zito, Rowand, Huff, Sanchez, DeRosa and Tejada. (Zito has an additional $27 million through 2013). All are 33 or older. All are in varying stages of decomposition. Sabean is the same GM Felipe Alou accused of forcing him to watch players "die in his hands" in 2006.
