Yeah, that's probably right. Don't need to check the link. The best part, other than all those games against the NL West, are all those games against the NL West. At least one of those teams will be in a pennant race! It will be so exciting.
The sixth series against the Padres is here! Can you feel the excitement in the air? No, seriously, reach out and feel it. Give that excitement a good caressing. Because in December, you'll wish you had Padres/Giants series to complain about. You'll be reading some Bleacher Report slideshow about 25 free-agent targets whose name rhymes with Mince Yielder, your brain will go sproing, and you'll curl into a fetal position and day dream about Steve Edlefsen pitching to Kyle Blanks. No, it's true! You forget what it's like in the offseason! It's like Jayson Stark's motto: Winter is coming.
But for now, it's perfectly acceptable to make fun of another Giants/Padres series. It's amazing how easy it is to ignore the Padres when they aren't the team directly in front of you in the standings.
Ten things I know about the Padres
1. They got Cameron Maybin for a couple of relievers, which is unbelievably annoying, but only the 195th most annoying thing the Marlins have ever done.
2. Kyle Blanks is the largest human being on the planet, but he's nice because Everth Cabrea sits on his shoulder and acts as his conscience.
3. They used to have Mike Adams, and now they don't. Unless they received Mike Adams in exchange for Mike Adams, I approve of this trade.
4. Ha ha, just kidding. Do you really want to know what the Padres got for Mike Adams? Do you really? You probably don't. They got a pitcher with insanely low walk rates who will shut the Giants out 74 times in Petco Park over his career.
5. Just kidding again. They actually got two of those guys. You can just picture the Giants hacking at the first pitch already. New left fielder Raul Ibanez will make the last out of the first no-hitter in Padres history.
6. They have a Venable on their team, and I refuse to learn and remember if it's Max or Will.
7. Mat Latos is clearly a jackass, and I love that he's on a rival team. There wouldn't be a Karate Kid if Daniel had to spar against a bunch of kids from his AYSO team. There has to be a Cobra Kai. And if you think I've used this analogy once too often, well, now I have photographic support.
8. Heath Bell seems like a nice, funny guy. I hope he signs with the Mets or something.
9. Ernesto Frieri screws up the whitest Baseball Reference page in history, even accounting for the teams that were around before segregation
Maybe Harang's a little too Eastern European or Turkish or centaur or something to completely maintain the illusion, but Frieri is the obvious outlier. It's amazing.
10. I lied when I indicated that I knew ten things about the Padres.
There it is. After five full series against the Padres, that is literally everything I know about them. Literally! And here they are again.
Hitter to watch
James Darnell isn't the best prospect in the world, but he was tearing up the Texas League this year. He's the kind of player who will have enough value for a team to get a Orlando Cabrera-type player for a couple of months.
Pitcher to watch
Cory Luebke kept showing up on all of these K/BB rookie lists when I was writing about Brandon Beachy last week. His strikeout rate has jumped pretty dramatically in the majors, which is really annoying. I'd like to think that's because the rest of the league isn't familiar with him, but I'm skeptical that he'll regress in the next three games.
Prediction
Padres.

Which losers?
All of them?
There’s gonna be a lot of loserdom out on the field tonight. I consider myself lucky that I’m going to be there to witness it. I’ll snap lots of pictures to save the moment for posterity. We may never see so many losers in one place again.
Why do you hate the Giants?

Heath Bell seems like a nice, funny guy. I hope he signs with the Mets or something.
He’s going to sign with the Padres for less money just to piss us off.
Eh, I don't mind him so much.
Most of the time he does any damage, we’ve already been digging our own grave for 8 innings and he’s just there to smooth the dirt over on top.
I have that highly irrational respect-him-because-he-stays-on-a-shitty-team-and-calls-it-home feeling. You know, like we hope to have for Matt Cain.

Never mind, baseball gods. I don't love you any more. You've gone back to hating the Giants
Welcome to my new adopted Giant, Carlos Beltran. Well, actually, you're more like a foreign exchange student staying at my house for the summer. Regardless, win us a world series! ...ormaybe a game or two.
Well . . .
. . . you don’t ever want to use your best, because then you don’t have it available on the shelf any more. You certainly don’t start, say, a healthy Pat Burrell much, because otherwise you don’t have that big pinch hitter to take one PA in the game. So you keep a Romo in readiness in case the game you’re losing 2 -1 in the 8th ends up going 21 innings, so you can have him pitch that 21st inning. Obvious strategy, isn’t it?

I've actually got a good feeling about the Niners this year.
Maybe Harbaugh really is getting their shit together.
I couldn’t watch yesterday’s game, but I remember the last preseason game when Smith was like 8 of 10 for 45 yards and the announcers were falling all over themselves to talk about how great he looked. It made me wonder if they know what a good performance actually is.
I hope Grant doesn’t ban me for insufficient Alex Smith cheerleading.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
This baseball thing is pretty cool
I can always find a way to criticize Smith, but he didn’t make a mistake yesterday which is good enough for me.

This whole post was dipped in awesome but I found the following paragraph particularly brilliant:
The sixth series against the Padres is here! Can you feel the excitement in the air? No, seriously, reach out and feel it. Give that excitement a good caressing. Because in December, you’ll wish you had Padres/Giants series to complain about. You’ll be reading some Bleacher Report slideshow about 25 free-agent targets whose name rhymes with Mince Yielder, your brain will go sproing, and you’ll curl into a fetal position and day dream about Steve Edlefsen pitching to Kyle Blanks. No, it’s true! You forget what it’s like in the offseason! It’s like Jayson Stark’s motto: Winter is coming.
That's the thing
I’m sick of the Giants right now and wished the season would end, but I’ll definitely start missing them from about the middle of December onward.
This is why it is good to have non-overlapping sports

He was apparently talking to someone, but his coworkers were looking at him, he was talking to NOBODY, and when they went over to see if he was ok, he said he just talked to this woman who told him to dig up her bones.
Turns out he went over to dig at some specific spot, and he found the bones of this lady… just so weird, he was talking to her spirit

More than 50 new alien planets — including one so-called super-Earth that could potentially support life — have been discovered by an exoplanet-hunting telescope from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
The newfound haul of alien planets includes 16 super-Earths, which are potentially rocky worlds that are more massive than our planet. One in particular – called HD 85512 b – has captured astronomers’ attention because it orbits at the edge of its star’s habitable zone, suggesting conditions could be ripe to support life.
