PrintTwo things you should read because I totally wrote them and everything:
- A love-letter to Madison Bumgarner, in which I explain that he's good
- My MLB Power Rankings, which take a million hours to write, so at least skim them. Or, heck, don't even do that, just click the "Facebook like" button to humor me.
The regular post is coming soon. I found an unpublished post on the Zito/Vogelsong? controversy, so I'll probably just pretend I wrote that today.

Jack Buck called that game for CBS Radio
And of course you had Lon calling the game on the 49ers radio network. Just staggering amount of talent in the broadcast booths.

Everything wrong with naming rights, encapsulated with one stadium. Is it clunky to say? Check. Is it a name that seems out of place in every era other than the late-’90s, when the naming-rights craze was at its tech-fueled peak? Check.
There is good news, though. Here are some of the things you can buy at O.co:
Tarps, if you need to cover the occasional 20,000 seats at your house
All sorts of fans that can be delivered right to your doorstep if you’re having trouble finding some on your own
A bunch of different glass pitchers in case the ones you have suddenly break.
A useful place, this O.co. I never would have known, if they didn’t pay off Ben Sheets for the rights to name the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

Jonathan Sanchez: Often maddening to watch, but capable of perfection on a moment's notice---just like his adoptive father.
Didn't seem that way from his departing comments
Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said Monday the decision came somewhat unexpectedly over the weekend, and that it was solely Johjima’s. Zduriencik said the Mariners did not pay any money to buy out their former starting catcher, who said last season he was struggling to accept Seattle benching him in favor of rookie Rob Johnson.
Johjima’s contract gave him the right to end it by Nov. 15 for the purpose of finishing his career in Japan. He gave up salaries of $7.7 million next year and $8.1 million in 2011.
“After lots of very deep thought and deliberation, I have decided to return home to resume my career in Japan,” Johjima said in a statement. "I have had a wonderful experience competing at the major league level. The last four years have been extraordinary, with great teammates and great coaches. I will always be indebted to the Mariners organization for giving me the opportunity to follow my dream.
“This was a very difficult decision, both professionally and personally. I feel now is the time to go home, while I still can perform at a very high level.”
I think he felt bad for being benched and not playing well.

the centerfield bleachers literally were not connected to the rest of the park
so not only could you not try to sneak into better seats even though there would only be 2000 people in a stadium built to sit 800000 but you felt hella isolated from the rest of the stadium

Oh god… classic Grant on a bigger stage. Cue the drum roll!
So how many wins do the Giants end up with?
hankschulman Henry Schulman
Food for thought: 92 wins has been magic number to reach playoffs in NL. Giants need to finish 36-29 to finish 92-70, as they did last year.
They have a lot of home games remaining too.
Hella.
I think the Giants will have a better regular season record than last year
but I don’t think the team will be as strong in the post season as it was last year.

Crazy stats of the day
So I read Dave Cameron’s trade value bit, and instead of MadBum I started wondering why Pablo wasn’t on the list. And then I went to look at his fangraphs page. So this is SSS and should be taken as merely a curiosity, but so far this season DRS has Pablo at +8 and UZR has him at +11. In 434 innings. A third of a season. His UZR/150 is +35! So apparently Pablo will someday be mentioned in the same breath with Brooks Robinson.

Over the last decade and a half Sesame Street’s really been dumbed down. The process started when I was young.
"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!"
I’ve seen bits of 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!"
1971
There is a reason they have youtubed things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ
I remember first seeing that as a kid a couple years later and thinking it was the funniest thing in the whole world. Nearly forty years later, I still think it is one of the funniest things in the whole world.
The seventies were an underappreciated time.
oops, 1974
Last time I will trust Wikipedia about anything.
Looks like I may well have seen that one when it first aired. Man, I’m old.
That was excellent
They still had rotary phones then?

someone can probably pin down when you didn’t have to lease your phones from the phone company. sometime in the 80’s, I think, might have been with the consent decree.

I remember when the transition away from rotary phones was happening. Some folks had them, others did not. This made the automated menus when calling certain companies really interesting. It was something along the lines of: “If you are calling from a rotary phone, please hold and an operator will assist you”.
Of course, since a lot of people still had rotary phones, the wait to speak to a live person was forever. So the more enterprising people tried doing their best “1 tone” when the option presented itself.

Damn, that didn’t work.

Carterfone decision in 1968 opened the doors, but widespread purchase of phones didn’t take off until the early 1980s when declining electronics costs made them dirt cheap.
Consent decree (aka MFJ) was in 1982, became effective 1/1/84. AFAIK, it did nothing directly to further enable ability to purchase your own phone, but may have helped make people more aware that they had choices.

I watch it with my daughter and it’s definitely different but there is a lot more educational stuff there.
They teach about nutrition, environment, weather, and many other things. They still have the letter and numbers of the day. Sesame Street 20 years ago was some live action role playing, some cartoons, and a bunch of old school film clips of children.

Maybe it’s just the Elmo’s World segments that I find so grating. Elmo is clearly geared toward 3-year-olds, whereas the other characters tend to be directed more towards 5-year-olds.
"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!"
Even Elmo’s World is a lot more educational than what used to be on Sesame Street. It’s definitely geared toward a younger audience (3-5) though. Rest of the show is probably geared toward 5-8 year olds

You think that’s weak. The public school I used to work at didn’t let kids bring in “treats” for their birthdays. I wasted a lot of time going rounds with the cafeteria / nutrition people wondering why it was okay for them to serve doughnuts, or french toast or sweetened cereals to the kids for breakfast every week… but having a cupcake once a month for some kids birthday was going to make everybody FAT!
Oh sweet merciful fuck are people stupid.
I am going to facepalm myself to unconsciousness.
Wow. Public schools suck.
Once a month?
Nine kids in the class. You must be teaching in heaven. What happens when you have 28 kids and obnoxious parents who insist on coming in when it’s convenient for them no matter what else is scheduled for that day and giving their birthday kid something special, even when they miscount and there isn’t enough to go around for all the others? Welcome to the real world of what public school teachers deal with.

I had 25 kids, but not all of them want to celebrate birthdays, many of them were December or summer babies… and it’s easy to deal with the parents… you tell them it’s not allowed, but there is a park right next door and the district has no control over what you do with your child at 12:01pm after class is over for the day and your child is signed out.

Tottenham Hotspurs is a good club for many McCoven to support if you’ve no team in the EPL:
- Team name from Henry IV. Shakespeare’s character Harry Hotspur was based on a 14th century ancestor called Sir Henry Percy who owned land in the Tottenham area.
- The Logo is a cockerel (related to Harry Hotspur’s riding spurs). Fighting cocks are still fitted with miniature spurs (Hi Gallo).
- Took slur as nickname—purportedly, rival Arsenal fans began calling them Yids because of the large Jewish population in the area. Spurs fans accepted it as a nickname calling themselves the "Yids" or "Yiddos". (anyone know if this is true—it’s superCool).
- Ex-Hawkwind and current Bevis Frond bassist Ade Shaw is a Spurs supporter. (Frond frontman Nick Saloman supports QPR.)

Or not, as the case may be. We had a rash of banks filing summary judgments on credit card debt where they had NO evidence the person owed anything. I am sure some got through the cracks, and some counties were rubber stamping them.

Credit Cards are completely different since they are unsecuritized loans. They are just rushing to the court house to grab whatever assets the debtor has. Also, most of those have been sold to debt collectors for pennies on the dollar.

The assets of that bank got bought up by someone. Banks don’t collapse in this country, they get taken over by the FDIC.

NSFW video kindly blocked for me at work, but as described above it sounds like theft to me, not a lottery.
It’s not theft. It’s adverse possession…it’s reminder of the wild wild west where a person can claim a property and owned it after a proscribed period of time (in California it’s 5 year). It never works much anymore because you need to have give legal notice of the adverse possession to the proper owners these days.

Ah, didn’t get that. Back in the early ’90s there were housing activists filing papers on abandoned homes in Oakland. They wanted the owners to take responsibility for a forgotten and nearly worthless asset, and usually succeeded. So, what, in Texas you can file with the state and be done with it?
You can do that in just about every Western state. The activists were doing it to make a point.
I can’t speak whether the paper is legit or not (heck I have never seen affidavit spelled as avidavit) or whether it gives notice in Texas. I can tell you that the Bank will now file a lawsuit against the guy just to prevent others from doing the same.

2011 Giants Adoptee: Brian Lawrence

I’m a little puzzled. Adverse possession as I understood it required to property to be ‘abandoned’. If the bank is around and able to respond, how can the property be considered abandoned?
It does not need to be “abandoned”. You can literally go into someone’s house and set up camp there. If you give proper notice that you are adversely possessing the property and no one kicks you out, you win.
Adverse possession is basically legal squatting (of a property…not Aaron Rowand batting stance).

and there is no complicated legal lawsuit to be filed. The bank just has to demonstrate that it owns the property and file an UD action against the guy. Takes like 2 hours.

one more thing: Adverse possession is really the expiration of the statute of limitation for someone to bring suit to recover a piece of property.

aha
Sounds very much like the bankruptcy trustee will have him out in about two minutes.
What are the noticing and other requirements in California? The bank owns a vacant lot down the hill on which it clearly has a fantasy minimum bid, as it’s been going to the courthouse month after month without a nibble. Perhaps if I notice them, I can negotiate a purchase.
Depends on the property.
Generally , you have to file something legally. Banks are generally not required to inspect their property to see if they are being adverse possessed.

I wouldn’t expect them to, no. So probably a filing with the court and service to the officially designated agent for service of process, huh? It would almost be worth the cash. Then again, I’m likelier to hit the jackpot buying deep-out-of-the-money options.
Decisions, decisions..
No.
The chief reason for the creation of the “adverse possession” doctrine was disputed pieces of land on borders. A strip of land might, by original and exact title description, belong to A, but has been considered by B (whose property adjoins) to be a part of his holdings, and B has been so treating it for years—say farming it, or running livestock on it. “Adverse possession” prevents A from suddenly waking up one morning many years later and taking the strip of land in question back from B. That’s why the requirements to be met read the way they do: open and notorious occupation or use; you can’t sneak onto land and then claim adverse possession after camping in the woods for years.

It’s the trying and then failing that bothers me. Never trying is something else. I would assume that I would at least try to be a parent first and then, after five minutes of screaming, would just leave it supine in the middle of the living room and go off and do something more interesting.
I have to give props to Every6thDay for admitting this. Most parents assume they are doing a wonderful job, even, or especially, when they aren’t.

I don’t really know anything about him. Minor league reliever? Okay.

For some reason i thought he was highly coveted
around these parts.
former U of A closer guy right?

Gobroks on Stoffel
18-Jason Stoffel-RHP. Stoffel’s ERA was pretty high, but his K rate on HR rate (especially in the Cal league) was encouraging. I think he has a chance to move quickly, possibly being a September call up in 2011.
‘Of note’ on Sickels list of Giants prospects. In the mid 20s of community prospect list
Crawfish Boxes
is fairly meh on the trade. Apparently they have a stud player coming up. But now realizing that Sosa and Stoffel both suck.

Yeah, if I’m an Astros fan, the thing that excites me most about that trade is Altuve coming up.

Giants fish every team for their backup INF and middle relievers
Get Fontenot
Lopez
Ramirez
Keppinger
all for peanuts, and bowker

Everyone's opinion
i love Keppinger as a utility guy / RH platoon partner for Fontenot and I am ecstatic to see Belt back.

I, for one, really like Keppinger as a utility player in a righthanded platoon with Fontenot. I am pretty happy to see Belt with the Giants.

I like Keppinger as a starter over Fontenot. I hate to see Belt with the Giants.

LOL Keith Law
Sosa/Stoffel. Not a bad return at all. RT @FearThePotato: @keithlaw Any information on the prospects the Astros got for Keppinger?
Buster Posey: Like his team, he's done for the year.

Brandon Belt could be the biggest acquisition they make this year, potentially.
