Two quick links

PrintEvery week I link to my power rankings because, well, they take a long time, and you have nothing better to do.
But the most impressive thing I've ever written in my life is this:
Not because it's any good, mind you, but because it's an article about how I don't care if an adult wearing a glove to a ballgame is uncool. My argument is that I don't like getting hit by foul balls in the face. That night, jponry was hit in the face with a foul ball.
She was the first reader to comment on the article. She disparaged Rush. She did not wear a glove. She got hit in the face. The odds of this happening on the same day are incalculable. That is, if you believe it was chance. If you believe that life is really that random, that it's all a roll of the bones. I'm not certain this is true.
I wrote the article, yet I didn't bring a glove to the game. I wasn't being hypocritical -- I just don't have my mitt right now. Still, it was hubris to taunt the baseball gods like that. And jponry was in the seats that Goofus has for every MCC Night at the yard. She was in the same seat that I usually take.
People, I believe that foul ball was meant for my face. I believe that we've flaunted foul balls' design, and foul balls will seek me out. Now I'm pretty sure I'm done with going to baseball games unless I'm sitting in View Reserved by the left-field foul pole. If you attend a game with me in the future, wear a catcher's mask. It's about to get real.
Either that, or Brandon Belt hates jponry. If you go with Occam's Razor, that might be the most likely explanation, actually. Never mind.

I wasn't even there! We were at the other seats when it happened
That section is good for foul balls, though. I’ve got a couple, but always give ’em to kids in the section.
The thong is, it happened.
Does that mean another fan picked it up and kept it, even after seeing it hit her?
Because if that’s the case, I’ve lost faith in fellow man.

Yes, I was sitting in the row behind her and a few seats over. Someone else picked up the ball and kept it, after it hit her in the face. I unfortunately didn’t see who picked it up. On the plus side, several good samaritans called for medical help immediately.
did it hit her on the fly in the face?

Pujols is better

Look at Helton and Chipper Jones past 35…. those numbers in the back 3-4 years will be paid way too much. Pujols is the type of gamble I hope the Giants never make. Let him remain a Cardnal.

The price doesn’t scare me about Pujols, it’s the years of the contract. If there’s anything we can learn from both Rowand and Zito, long contracts are no bueno.
Considering how many we have to resign
I would cry at either of these.
Considering Pujol’s age, that back half of that contract will be an albatros of Rowand+Zito standards, eventually. I don’t think he is 8-9 mil a year better than Fielder now. So I would say Fielder all day.

Depends on the subject matter
If my book(s) are “G” or “PG”, a movie is probably best. If the subject matter is more adult/mature, I think a cable series is better. I read somewhere that R-rated movies run a higher risk of not making money since going out to the movies is a “family event” for many people.
The thong is, it happened.
Low profit but high boobs to page ratio.
Harry Potter had roughly zero boobs. As such, the series was a generalized failure.

Looks like a block, I would be very surprised if they claimed him because Wilson was getting TJ, seeing as Bell is a FA after the season.

I think the Pads are going to ask way too much for him
Unless they think they wouldn’t want him at his potential arb price (1/$10M or something), they’ll either have him back or two draft picks. The value of two draft picks is pretty high. Ergo, I conclude that by far the most likely scenario is that Bell is pulled back.
But don't the Giants get that back
By offering Bell arb after the season?
The thong is, it happened.
Yes, the Giants would (potentially) get the two draft picks. Which means they’d have to give the Pads value equal to those picks now. So, at least something like Gary Brown, and probably Brown plus, like, I dunno, Kickham or something.
you're way overestimating the value of draft picks

???
Brown was a low first round draft pick last year! How is he not comparable to two low first round draft picks from next year?
because Brown has success at the pro level.
Draft picks are huge unknowns. It’s the same reason Taylor Mays was only worth a 4th/3rd rounder even though he was a 2nd rounder last year. Once a player has a track record at the professional level, their value changes.

though I’m not sure how much leverage the Padres have since Bell said he’d accept arb from them.

The thing that would scare me about trading TJ
is that he’s not 20 yet. I’d rather trade Adrianza, or even Peguero if it came down to that (then again, I don’t think Peguero will ever be a major leaguer unless he seriously adjusts his plate approach)

I might give up Tommy Joseph or Hector Sanchez for Bell, although it will take more
With Posey, I don’t see how we will be able to make use of both of them in the near or even far future, unless we’re anticipating that Posey is going to change positions. Trading a Hector Sanchez or Joseph makes sense: trade from strength to shore up a (current) weakness.
Trading Surkamp would not be so great, as we’ll be in need of a cheap, back of the rotation guy soon, assuming we make Jonathan Sanchez somebody else’s problem, whether by free agency or trade.
Savoring disappointment since 1993.
I'd be way too worried about a Wilson Ramos situation
Though neither Hector or ToJo are as good as Ramos was at the time of that trade.

I'd be okay with the Wilson Ramos situation, even
Assuming Posey sticks at catcher and doesn’t wind up with the sort of problems Mauer has been having with his legs (fingers crossed). I think the most dangerous part of doing something like this is if one (probably Joseph because of age) ends up like Ramos, we’ll be playing against him a lot in our division over the next few years. That would blow.
Savoring disappointment since 1993.
I really want him. But, I’m kind of worried about what it would take to get him. Like the idea of being able to get draft picks, though, which the team won’t get for Beltran.

The strikezone was a bit high all night though. The ump was giving the belt-high strike but not so much the pitch at the knees. From our vantage-point, I’ve no way of knowing if he was giving six inches on the outside the whole game.
vs lefties only
For the red-green impaired: with the usual vertical caveats, high and outside, indeed, with a few flat out miscalls.
So the one to Belt was the furthest outside of any pitch called a strike all night, but not by much. I conclude that Alan Porter is not a great ump.
Not sure
I haven’t looked at a ton of these things, but it seems pretty unusual to have pitches that far outside called strikes. The pitchFX strike zone includes the full width of the ball off the edge of the black, and that right there is a pitch that’s not always called.
At least that strike zone is mostly consistent, apart from a couple of blatantly missed calls.
The zone for a lefty is usually pretty outside
Looking at a somewhat recent baseball prospectus article (here) it’s outside, but within reach of a normal call

Unless it’s broken, don’t throw anything away, especially clothes. I prefer local shelters over Goodwill, but if you do decide for a garage sale, list it on Craigslist; you’ll get more people.
And list the time as 30-60 minutes AFTER you intend to open. Otherwise you’ll get weirdos pounding on your door at 7am trying to get the good stuff early.

Losing Wheeler, Neal and Surkamp (potentially) in a season the Giants don't make the playoffs is disgusting.
And going in to next year, they will literally have nothing to show for those moves, since none of the guys they get in return will be around. Though, if they do re-sign Beltran, I see him being a DeRosaean presence.
You’ll have 2 picks to show for Bell.

According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Giants were awarded the claim on Padres’ closer Heath Bell.
The Giants will now have until 1 p.m. ET on Friday to work out a trade. Olney suspects the status of Brian Wilson (elbow) will be a significant factor in whether the Giants actually pull the trigger on a deal. Bell currently projects as a Type A free agent this winter, so the price could be steep. It appears to be an unlikely scenario right now.

The widely accepted sort of explain-it-away is that the less equipment you have to pay for, the more likely a low-income child is to play the sport. And as many African American families are low-income, those children move into those sports. Basketball and track and field have the added benefit of not needing 20 friends to perform.
And those are valid reasons. They kind of sell the complexity of the problem short, but they do highlight some of the more relevant factors.

I would love a fourth catcher.
My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
He’s a shit-ton better than any catcher not currently on the DL. He’d be a fine backup for Buster next year if the Giants can work that out.

Per discussion with Villiphied above
He thinks not, since Brown has to some extent validated himself with a successful season of pro ball. So more fair would be guys with good potential but still considerable uncertainty about their future. So guys like Tommy Joseph, Mike Kickham, or guys with lower ceiling but of comparable value, like maybe Verdugo or something.
So yeah I just heard about the claim on bell
I called it two days ago simply as a blocking claim from ARI or PHI but would you trade for him if the pads were willing to listen.
As long as it didn’t include Hembree, surkamp, or brown I’d would put together another package of minor leaguers

actually, id go with the opposite
if were only scoring 2 or 3 runs a game, that means its gonna be a 1 or 2 run game most of the time. A stronger bullpen would be more necessary in that case

I expect Posey to never be as good as he was last year and maybe only ever 75% of that at best in 2012 and I don’t think the Giants will get more than 120 games out of Freddy Sanchez next year if he even plays for the organization ever again.

I think it’s too late for a catcher to enter the mix at this point. This staff is, collectively, the most tempermental group of fucking pitchers I’ve ever seen when it comes to catchers. The Giants don’t have time to go through the 3 week trial-period where Hernandez figures out he has to connect to Lincecum by ESP.

I think that’s actually something that gets exaggerated. The FO sort of played up all the catcher/pitcher relationship stuff last year to sell Bengie, and then this year there was a problem between Lincecum and Whiteside because Whiteside actually couldn’t catch his pitches. I don’t know how much further it goes than that, other than pitchers saying nice things to the media.

Stewart mentioned he has never, not once, spoke to Lincecum before the game. I remember in 2004 Brett Tomko blew his load and freaked out because AJ wouldn’t strategize before a game.

A’s and Raiders fans are pissed because they thought they would get their own station for their teams and 95.7 constantly talks Giants and 49ers. It just makes them more bitter.

When Philly got a new FM sports station there was similar period. It went away quickly. Just be prepared for KNBR to go FM in a couple of years as WIP is doing now.

the voicemails were actually pretty funny. the first one was like “grr Huff and Rowand suck so bad, all those defensive lapses and crap hitting”. the 2nd one was like “i love this team they just stormed back in the 8th yeah yeah yeah!” and the 3rd one was like “i hate this stupid team”.

Speaking of Rowand
He got the loudest boos I’ve ever heard a Giant not named Armando Benitez get after his infield pop up last night.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I was expecting even bigger boos after his last at bat where he hit a weak grounder on the first pitch
But then the Padres fucked up even worse than he did.
Glad to have the World Series win, but still waiting on my Kim Batiste bobblehead. GET OFF YOUR HANDS, GIANTS BRASS!!!!

That was hilarious
Rowand got to 1st after the botched play and turned to Roberto Kelly for a knuckle bump. We were laughing about it. Really Aaron, you expect congratulations for that?
The thong is, it happened.
Methinks
the Rowand saturation point has been reached.

if you have mlb.tv
It’s in the bottom of the 6th. 1 hour, 55 minutes into the broadcast. Same inning as the bizarre Jesus Guzman play, so totally worth going back and watching.
It’s not available as a highlight, though, although I definitely consider Rowand getting booed to be one.

You HAVE to see the Jesus Guzman play if nothing else. It was like the 1B defensive version of Ruben Rivera’s baserunning. Not as drawn out, but he did manage to fuck up in at least four distinct ways.

Upgrading stuff for the first time in years, and this looks like something that wouldn’t even fit inside my case…
The first six innings are overrated.
That’s been going on for a while. I put a Scythe Ninja in one of my computers back in 2006 or so; that was a big case and I still had to measure to make sure it would fit. I imagine things are probably actually not as crazy now, with chip companies paying more attention to energy efficiency. A Core i5 is a lot easier to cool than a Pentium 4.
As ridiculous as they are, the big heat sinks actually are a key element if you’re trying to build a quieter machine.
whoa, the Rockies could actually catch us. and they’ve played like shit for 4.5 months.

I loved Sabeans newest quote, which I heard for the first time today.
“we don’t have any speed….playing station-to-station… we don’t take enough walks.”
well, gee, Sabes, ya think? the man who put together this shitty lineup is now complaining because the players he acquired do not have the skills that he says we need. is it just me, or does this make no sense to any of you either?
