Giants/Twins Series Preview

PrintWhat I was trying to ape was the something like Grantland's oral history of the National, but I think I failed. Well, too late to write something else! This is the oral history of the vicious, epic rivalry between the San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins. The two teams have played two series, with each team winning three and losing three, and no one's life every really being the same. This is certainly not the kind of series that makes you think, "Really, interleague play? This is what you have to offer?" Nope. Not at all.
And now, on to the oral history of baseball's greatest rivalry:
Damian Moss - The time I gave up six earned runs to the Twins reminds me of the multiple times I gave up six earned runs to other teams. Those are the kinds of games that make you want to crawl right into your mother’s pouch and hide.
Joe Mays - It was neat to play the Giants after growing up, hearing my uncle’s stories and feeling like I was a part of the franchise. I looked forward to this game.
Johan Santana - I gave up a single to Neifi Perez when I came in the game as a reliever. I remember the pitch I threw -- a split-fingered temporal anomaly. It just kind of hung in the zone, disrupting space and time. Rick (Anderson, pitching coach) gave me hell for that, and I don’t think I ever threw one again.
Joe Mays - Then I found out that my uncle wasn’t really the Willie Mays, and he never even played baseball. He wasn’t even my uncle -- just some guy who would wander by when we forgot to lock the gate to our backyard.
Damian Moss - And so I said, "That’s not a rosin bag ... this is a rosin bag" with an exaggerated accent. Everyone laughed the first six times.
Joe Mays - I found this all out last year, well after I retired. This explains why there wasn’t some sort of ceremony for me and my uncle when I was there. Later that week, I found out I was white.
Felipe Alou - I remember this game as if it were yesterday. It was the one where I warmed up a bunch of relievers for no reason while I looked like I’d rather be somewhere else.
A.J. Pierzynski - You know how when you look at a map of the world, and Pangea just makes sense? Like, South America just looks like it fits into Africa? That’s kind of how it was when I saw Stan Conte’s crotch. I looked at it, looked at my knee ... and it just fit. I don’t believe in destiny, but I saw something magical that day.
Barry Bonds - Wait, you want me to remember something about the time I won a game in the ninth? Narrow it down, junior.
Jerome Williams - LaTroy Hawkins gave up a double to Richie (Auilia), and I remember thinking, man, this guy suuuuucks. Fastballs, string-straight, right down the middle. I should have just retired after the trade. That was nature’s way of telling me to retire.
Jim Brower - I pitched three innings that game.
Felipe Alou - I hated Jim Brower.
Jim Brower - Not sure why I threw three innings, really.
Felipe Alou - Smug punk.
Jim Brower - I mean, the rest of the bullpen wasn’t tired.
Felipe Alou - Didn’t win a World Series, but I did grind Jim Brower down into a fine powder.
Jim Brower - That was a fun season!
Felipe Alou - He looked just like Jim Duffalo, and that guy never gave back the book I lent him in '63. So screw Duffalo, and screw Brower.
Jesse Foppert - That was one of my last games in the majors.
Brian Sabean - I looked at Dick Tidrow after smoke started coming from Foppert's elbow, and said, "Well, there goes our last hope."
Jesse Foppert - I remember after the surgery, Felipe had me warm up a couple of times, just in case. I don't think that helped.
Brian Sabean - And Tidrow looked at me and said, "No. There is another."
The Gremlin That Lives Inside Noah Lowry's Arm - Groarrrwwwwlwllwwwl!
Scott Munter - Mmph.
The Gremlin That Lives Inside Noah Lowry's Arm - Grrgghwwwwlwllwwwl!
Scott Munter - grunt
The Gremlin That Lives Inside Noah Lowry's Arm - chomping sounds
Scott Munter - mumble
The Gremlin That Lives Inside Noah Lowry's Arm - chomping sounds
Scott Munter - sinker
Adam Shabala - You want to talk about what?
Jeff Fassero - This game reminds me of pudding.
Adam Shabala - Yeah, you have the wrong guy. I never played baseball.
Jeff Fassero - Wednesday is pudding day.
Adam Shabala - Certainly not at the major-league level.
Jeff Fassero - Pudding hurts my teeth.
Adam Shabala - No, wrong guy. Let's see, I was in the Peace Corps in 2003 ... I spent most of 2004 working on the rubber plantation ... but in 2005 I was ... uh ... wait, maybe I did start that game.
Jeff Fassero - Don't you get it? I'M OLD.
Adam Shabala - Well, I'll be.
Jeff Fassero - JACK MCKEON JOKE
Felipe Alou - I REMEMBER JACK MCKEON'S FIRST GAME IN THE BIG LEAGUES, THE LITTLE SCAMP
Jeff Fassero - LOL
Felipe Alou - I WAS TOLD THERE WAS PUDDING?

The New School. Where we have a similar relationship to NYU as is expressed between Berkeley and Stanford elsewhere in this thread, except that neither is a public university.

You see, I studied Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-chemical
And it is a superior education, at less than than 1/4 the price offered at the neighboring Stanford University. On top of that, my girlfriend at the time also chose to attend the University of California, turning down Yale. For the exact same reason.
Paying 2600 per semester for tuition for the 2nd best program in the world is a much better bargain than 26,700 per year at Stanford University (going rate at the time).

I’m a Stanford grad, and I think it’s pretty ridiculous the way they’ve raised their prices. When I started 6 years ago, tuition was a mid 40s. Now it’s nearly 60K per year. It was way out of control a long time ago. I really hope they realize at some point that they’re pricing out most of the country.

Hasn’t this been the M.O. of private secondary educational institutions for a while now? Crank up prices for the fraction of people that can afford it, and cut financial breaks for exemplary students that won’t necessarily be able to pay full price for their education?
by MySpoonlsTooBig on Jun 21, 2011 3:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Stanford waives tuition for those making less than $100,000
and allegedly, they draw blind. Meaning they do not look at parents income when deciding upon applicants. Amazing what multi-billion in endowments can do for a University.

Yeah, but you know what? If your parents make even 150,000/year (well above average, right?) there’s no way they can afford to pay 60K/year for 4 years. Unless they’ve been saving for a long, long time. And if you’ve got 3 kids? Forget about it.

He is currently a coach for the Kane County Cougars, where he curses Felipe Alou every time he asks a player to open a jar of peanut butter for him.

Minnesota’s on a seven game win streak, which can only mean that they’re do for a loss, naturally. We got ’em right where we want ’em!
Also, have there any new rumors about that re-alignment plan that would always have one inter-league series going on?
Wait, We played Minnesota before?

On that note, Carl Mays should be in the Hall of Fame, although of course that’ll never happen.

Even the end of The Killing? Because hearing about that made me really glad I gave the show up with half the season left.
(I really liked Rubicon though.)
GROUGTHINK ALERT
This baseball thing is pretty cool
I grew to enjoy Rubicon but the finale wasn’t very good and I was afraid it would start going into truther territory.
Pease was never an option.
Apparently if the show had been renewed it would have been less about Truxton’s Super Conspiracy (which wasn’t the priority of the guy who ended up running the show) and more about the day-to-day at API, which I think could have been really great.
At the very least, I want a spinoff where Kale Ingram becomes Batman and fights crime.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
This baseball thing is pretty cool
I actually didn’t mind the end of the Killing. I know people got all bent out of shape over it, but I thought it was an interesting way to end.
But that skanky boy cop is still really creepy. Hard to watch, but I think that’s the intention.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (AGAIN) [now with theme song]
I tweet (more often than I blarg) | Your San Francisco Giants: "Together We're Broken!"
Not that many people watch the show and the talent deal(s) they needed to secure before the start of production was pricey. They are paying a pretty penny for a show that is all prestige and no profit.
THE KILLING (awful, dreadful, useless show) and THE WALKING DEAD (hit by even basic cable standards) and, soon, HELL ON WHEELS (awful title) are supposed to pick up the profit slack where MM and BB let them down.
I like The Walking Dead.
It caused me to start reading the graphic novels, which are great! I love ’em!
But The Killing is just completely terrible. It was a bad show (written, directed and, for the most part, acted) that coasted on the AMC brand to earn viewers’ attention. There is no positive takeaway from watching it. Absolutely nothing. I hate it.
It was bad.
I wish they’d kept Rubicon. At least the lead was totally hot.
Get well soon, Buster, Freddy, Frodo and Belt.
The Killing’s lead wasn’t an awful site to behold and could act. She at least looked interesting, even if her character was poorly written.
Rubicon had sub-Terriers numbers.
Rubicon was really slow, but it drew me in, and I felt around halfway through the season it got really good.
Ask me about my blog.
Terriers is fantastic! It sucks that it was canceled, but the numbers just weren’t there. I think that would’ve been my favorite show of this past season had it not been for Game of Thrones.
I wonder why Terriers did so poorly? I enjoyed it, even my wife liked it and I’m sure she wasn’t in the demo for a show like that.
Ask me about my blog.
FX is weird.
That’s the best explanation.
They take a lot of cool risks and it’s weird which ones pay off (Sons of Anarchy).
People blame the marketing and that might have something to do with it, but I think a show like that (a detective show) probably only works best on broadcast because at least you’ll get a big audience. It seems like the niche and the branding of FX hurt Terriers. Nobody knew what it was and they didn’t know what to expect because FX’s brand is sometimes in conflict. It was a light show on a dark network…
I’m rambling because there’s no clear answer. It is definitely a great show, though.
The shield is one of my favorite of all time
Probably goes the wire, sopranos, and maybe a deadwood / the shield tie. I might revise that a bit with some more research but I always really enjoyed that show vick mackie just played with role perfectly and every season seemed to get more and more interesting without much cheesy things that normally happen as a show gets saturated.
"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."
I liked The Walking Dead and I’m looking forward to next season but I didn’t think it was great. I still haven’t watched the finale of The Killing but I’ve enjoyed it so far.
WWRWD?
I'm bullish on WD season two.
It definitely has promise and it seemed to get better as it went along (the pilot excluded, as that was exceptional, captivating, near-perfect TV).
There's new promo stuff up on the BB website.

I’ve never read the books on I’ve only seen the first movie because I was babysitting my little cousins. I actually remember liking the first movie (although I don’t remember much of it) and kinda wanting to see the second one, but then seeing the previews for it where they had giant spiders and saying, “fuck that,”
It looks like the last couple movies have all been shot a twilight in the U.K. because they’re all incredibly darkly lit from the previews.

Everything in HS is easy. I mean, you could always pick a science to major in if you’re unsure, and they’re likely to open up more doors than other majors.
But you could always pick history, communications, english, etc. for a couple years. I just went into business and I’m happy with that, although I was expecting more math which I actually enjoy (weird I know).

Most of her stuff is fine. But she has no filter. When she told people to shut up when they complained about the Giants being swept by the A’s the other day, I was not impressed. When she basically called Baggs a bullshitting hack, then I was even less so. Then slamming bloggers with a broad brush . . . . well. . . . .

I moved the A’s into the NL West so the Giants would have a natural rival for more than interleague play.

Las Vegas to Phoenix is an "easy" drive for a baseball game.
Hey, people, relax. I’m moving the no-shot-in-Tampa-Bay Rays to Las Vegas. You get a dynamite team as a geographical rival. It’s an easy drive and you can legally bet on the games. Just ask Pete Rose for directions to the best sports books.
Umm….how many baseball fans currently drive 6 hours to see their team play in another stadium, and how often?
Curious. San Diego is basically the same 6 hours away and I don’t know any DBags fans who go out there specifically to see the DBags play the pAAAds.
Relief! I Thank you for your Lefferts.
On the East Coast everything is an easy drive!

you mean generating a great wind with his strikeouts, pushing Torres along inexorably, then yes.

I was thinking the same thing while watching ROTJ this weekend. It was at the beginning of the movie during the battle at the Sarlac pit. That huge pig-warlock thing set up some mind of mountable laser cannon on top of Jaba the Hut’s cruiser and started shooting at the cruiser Solo was on when he was trying to pull Lando up. He would fire and hit Solo’s cruiser and Lando would slip even further, but he only fired like once every 30 seconds. If I’m pig-warlock I’m going to make it look like a god damn Pink Floyd concert.

Yeah. I had long believed that when a Jedi is prepared for and has accepted death, the body disappears and the soul is allowed to live on in Jedi Ghost form. According to this theory, the organic parts of Vader’s body disappeared on his death and he moved onto ghost form, but, of course, the man was more machine than anything so his metal body was still there for the pyre.
But then Lucas dropped his pants on that theory.

In Episode III, it is revealed that Qui Gon Jin invented the ghost jedi technique to communicate from beyond the grave. His body did not disappear when he died.
Also, Vader can’t use Force Lightning because he’s not actually very good at The Force.

OT TV story
So the guy replaced my power supply and motherboard today on my TV that was turning off and on by itself. Now, it had stopped doing that, but I had already scheduled the in-warranty repair so I figured, eh, new motherboard, new power supply.
The minute he left it started doing it again.
I’m fairly convinced it’s related to something in my set-up.
Pease was never an option.
Samsung sent out a bunch of TVs with power supply problems. We had a Samsung stop working completely because of it recently.

I’m not sure — the other neighbor has the back apartment, I don’t know what the new downstairs people have. I do have 2 remotes, the TV one and the one that controls everything including the PS3.
Pease was never an option.
Welp, for a while that seemed to do the trick, then it started doing it again. I don’t know why it would start doing it, then stop, then after a complete motherboard and power supply change, start doing it again.
All I did the first time was jiggle the HDMI connector, and the HDMI device wasn’t even ON …
Pease was never an option.

Surprisingly, no one has mentioned Matt Wieters of the Baltimore Orioles or Hanley Ramirez of the Florida Marlins. The one strength the Giants have is there pitching. What about Sergio Romo for Matt Wieters or Jonathan Sanchez and Sergio Romo for Hanley Ramirez?
Heh

I like Romo a lot
BUT trading him seems like a good idea… Bochy never lets him pitch..
We need to clone Buster Posey!
Trading Romo’s a bad idea because they’ll never get anywhere near the value they deserve, precisely because Bochy never uses him. He’s one of the best relievers in the game, but who would know it?
"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!"
Romo has been underused this year to date
But I suspect that changes. He threw a lot last year. bochy still uses him as his 8th inning right handed guy. Its just that he now has Lopez for lefties. Its not a flipping conspiracy and bochy certainly knows how to use a bullpen.
In reality, Romo should be the 8th inning guy and Lopez and Ramirez should share the 7th inning for RHP/LHP

Ramirez has bounced around constantly in 2011. The Rangers designated him for assignment in January and saw the Red Sox claim him. The Cubs claimed him less than a week later only to release him in May. The Astros then signed him, but his stint with Houston was short, as they released him last week.

An even more sad fact
He probably has better range and much more accurate throws than tejada as well even though it’s a position he never played professionally.

With these hitters?
I suppose you could go Torres-Ross-Sandoval-Huff-Burrell and then put all the out sinks at the bottom. But I’m not sure if I start Burrell over Nate against a righty, and it’s going to be pretty ugly regardless.
Burrell has to start over Nate.
I’ll take the defensive hit if it means one more hitter can work the count, take a walk or hit a home run.
No shit
I jokingly said to my friends that tejada would be starting at SS and hitting 2nd and was flamed and ridiculed for being “a bochy hater”. Damn my jokes coming true or more so damn bork for being a predictable ignorant master of lineups.
"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."
Still, Crawford and Buriss are so terrible at the dish that there’s a small part of me that prefers Tejada over either of them.
If Tejada were at least replacement level at SS, I may agree with you, but his offensive offense doesn’t make up for it.

I guess my hangnail likes that he can make contact more consistently than the other options.
But there really is no good answer for the middle infield right now. I mean, I am praying for Mark Ellis and think Hall at 2B and Ellis at SS (or vice versa) is the best case scenario for our sad, pathetic offense.
He's 34 and he's hitting like he's done.
Still, I think he could be had for relatively little (salary relief for Beane).
I think I'd rather a catcher
or a SS. I do like Ellis, but we need offense.
Get well soon, Buster, Freddy, Frodo and Belt.
This is true
But hitting 2nd? Come on it was obvious in april that it wasn’t gonna work the fact that it continues is beyond 2009 edgar renteria. It’s way beyond justifying the contract at this point just give up already.
"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."
Tejada was well below replacement level when he was playing there.
It’s his defense at 3B that makes him NOT the worst player in the majors this year.

I did once. It was the game last year with the 4 hour rain delay when they were supposed to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the park. I had a ticket, but all my friends were in the club level (staying dry) so I bought a club ticket from a scalper for a very reasonable price since it was past the original start time of the game. Worked out fine. He wasn’t really homeless looking, though.

If you build new . . .
. . . or do a truly major remodel, get sprayed-in foam. It not only has astonishing R-values, but also expands and seals with the studs making a very effective air barrier. We live about 150 miles from the Canadian border and our annual “heating bill” is about 1/5 of one cord of wood (no furnace at all, just a masonry heater that looks like an ordinary fireplace). We did finally give in and add central air, because when it gets into the 90s out, it would otherwise be a bit too warm inside (though we did get by for a few years with just a floor fan).
Oh, also: spend on top-quality high-R windows. It’s worth it.

Huzzah: our air conditioner is fixed.
It wasn’t too bad up here today, high 70s, but tomorrow is supposed to be in the low to middle 90s, so we got it done just in time.
It’s always the same thing: the effing relay that controls power to the compressor. This is the 3rd one we’ve had in maybe 7 years, and at the start of every summer, I usually have to go out and play with it to get it to remember what it’s suppposed to be doing. We can put men on the moon, but we can’t make power-control relays that won’t arc so bad they burn out the contacts in no time flat. Ain’t science wonderful?

Yes; yes, indeed.
Eastern Washington is in the “rain shadow” of the Cascades mountains, and so is very dry. In the west, right under the mountains, average rainfall is about 4 inches; over east in the Palouse, it’s a soggy 16". Where we are it’s about 10". The result is a desert-like climate (defined, I believe, as any climate where the daytime and night-time temperatures differ by 50° or more). We get short but often very hot summers, and usually mild but sometimes Arctic winters. One night a winter or two ago it was 30 degress below zero, and we sometimes have peak summer highs over 100°.
But, as noted upthread, we designed our house all solar, and don’t even have a furnace (though we do have a wood-burning masonry heater); we did add central air, but it wasn’t exactly unliveable without it (we waited 3 or 4 years before installing it).

And now for the crying. . .
From Baggs:
Two days ago, Bruce Bochy said it’s getting to be time to make a decision: Vets or kids? Well, Miguel Tejada and Bill Hall are in. Brandon Crawford and Emmanuel Burriss are out. Vets it is.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (AGAIN) [now with theme song]

Meh
I would have taken Crawford over Miggy and Hall over Burriss.

oh yeah, totally. At least with Hall, we haven’t grown to hate him yet, so play him until we do.
Crawford at least will give you flashy defense… how many grounders/plays would Crawford make that Miguel won’t tonight? Over/Under is 3. I choose over.

I’m fine with Hall starting over Burriss. Burriss is terrible.
The other one is pretty irritating, but it’s not like Crawford can hit either.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
This baseball thing is pretty cool
Miggy is actually hitting better but defensively awful.

Crawford can't hit but
Tejada starting at SS and his ungodly slow foot speed and cement glove more than make him the much worse choice.
"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."
Miggy has an OPS of .750 last 7 games so maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel (hello truck!)
Crawford is very good defensively but a .565 OPS is hard to keep in the lineup. Also, I think the book is out on Crawford. (.389 OPS in his last 34 PAs)

True but
For every hit that helps us win a game by tejada (can’t remember the last one) there will be 3-4 plays he fails to make a game that crawford would have made. Maybe it won’t be 3-4 every game but tejadas defense at short is just so horrible it will nullify his scarce game changing hit.

I wonder what the “book” says on Crawford, anyways. He hits breaking stuff, so maybe pitch him away?
A hit saved is a hit earned, and Crawford saves a hit or two a game.

With someone like madbum pitching there’s a good chance that could be as many as 6 or 7 a game.

Burriss should not be on the roster at all. I just don’t like that Bochy seems to have settled in on Tejada.
Crawford may not be able to hit (neither can Tejada), but his defense tends to be better.

All I know about the Twins is that they have terrible record and Joe Mauer, and Mauer’s been injured all season.

“We really feel that AJ brings a veteran presence to the team that’s been sorely lacking,” Bochy said. “There’s nothing that stiffens a clubs resolve like having an experienced glove behind the plate. We’re gonna win a lot of games with him in our lineup.”

is Vogelsong signed through 2012? Someone posted something saying that, and if true, would be great. Could save a good amount of money in the offseason if he at least keeps pitching fairly well.

good to know. I honestly can’t expect him to keep his 1.80 ERA up, but so long as it’s under 3.50 (or even 4) he’s a great addition. Now to find a way to rid ourselves of Zito or Sanchez….

In one of his books he makes a disctinction between pot people and coke people and states that he’s definitely a pot person. Although, his description of the first time he tried coke was pretty hilarious.
