Around SBN: Drug Testing, Alistair Overeem & UFC 146's Potential Legacy

After blogging for 24 straight hours, trying to raise money for Doctors Without Borders, the proprietor of Old Time Family Baseball is sleeping. Throughout Sunday, he'll have guest posts up from writers around the interworld. I'll have one that will go up later, and that jerk Sullivan has something up about Barry Bonds again. If I had known, I would have made mine about Felix Hernandez or something.

Anyways, go, read, and if you can, donate. Doctors Without Borders is the official charity of McCovey Chronicles, so this all worked out nicely.

Lincecum will make $18-20M probably. Pablo and Romo should get healthy raises. Nate and Casilla will probably make $1-2M, Pagan will make $3M-ish, Cabrera might make $7M, and Burriss will make a teensy bit more than the league minimum.

The real question marks are Sandoval and Romo. Cabrera to a lesser extent, but only because he’s on the more expensive side and had a huge year but make only $1.25 in 2011.

The Giants have probably already projected and budgeted for these arbitration meetings, and once the numbers are released on Monday or Wednesday, I forget which, they will work to get one or two year deals done somewhere in the middle. If they can help it, they won’t go to arbitration at all, since the courtroom can get a little ugly, as scout says.

I’ve heard $7M thrown around for Cabrera, but I don’t know what he’s asking for. If there’s one big thing to get done during arb, I think it would be a 4+ year deal for Sandoval. Get that shit done.

And Pablo strikes me as the kind of guy who would take that deal.

I think he does a 4-5 year deal.

The numbers will be released early next week, and then they’ll have a a couple of weeks to get a deal done. I believe the hearings are scheduled for the first few weeks of February.

However, the timing of the deals isn’t a sure thing at all. The Giants got their 2-year deal with Timmy done outside the fucking courtroom back in 2010.

It’s designed to give both sides ample time to get a deal done. Vogelsong would have gone to arbitration as well, but got a deal done in advance of the filing date. Same with Fontenot. Partnered with the non-tender deadline, the whole process is pretty much a funnel down to getting deals done. Every team goes through it.

Some speculated that the price difference between J. Sanchez and Cabrera would be a wash, but they may have been saying that to indicate that it was not a money-saving move by the Giants.

If Cabrera only gets $4-5, I won’t be as down on the deal, but it’s important to remember that Sandoval, Romo, and Nate are going to arb for the first time, and Pagan and Cabrera are going to arb for the last time. So, there’s almost an order of magnitude in price difference. Making $7M in your last arb year pegs you as a 2-win player, roughly. I think that’s about what Cody made in 2011.

You can always buy out arbitration years on a multi-year deal. It just means that after 2015, they are no longer under team control. Before Curt Flood, players got no say about how much they made or who they played for. That’s why Willie Mays made less than $2M dollars over the course of his entire career (about $15 in modern value).

They never really released why he left (or was dismissed) from CSN.

He is pretty regular on 95.7 though. Seems to be healthier.

I kinda like it.

You are on the 1 yard line. It’s highly unlikely that starting position turns to points for the other team. And with the good defense you have in the Ravens (or Niners) you are either gonna get a Safety or good starting position to try again.

Especially if it happens next week. Standing at the top of the aisle behind the Giants dugout in NLCS Game 6- beaming as the Philly fans filed out of my path to the tiny, screaming clutch of orange at the bottom- is among the top five moments I’ve had as a sports fan.

My secondary-level teams are the Packers, Saints, and… uh… if a team where I’m living makes a run, that’s cool. So Giants 08, Saints 10, Packers 11, 49ers (12!) being the last four standing in the NFC is pretty neat.

Yeah

But larger power plants are far, FAR more efficient than individual combustion engines. Power plants range from 33-50% efficiency for fossil fuels depending on the tech involved, while internal combustion engines average 18-20% and top out around 37%. So if you’re buying an electric car and running purely on power generated by fossil fuels, you’re still saving carbon emissions because you’re not burning as much fuel as you would be if you had an internal combustion engine.

It’s pretty clear, too: large, stationary plants can hold the type of machinery necessary to increase efficiency while small, mobile cars need to consider things like weight and heat – weight in particular, because the heavier you make the car in an attempt to make the engine more efficient the more you increase the amount of fuel required to make it move – over efficient energy production.

Face value might be close to market value, but if not, you need to declare the difference as income strictly to comply.

should have spent more time on the set-up

and not spent so much time on the part at the end where Lisbeth was taking down Wennerstrom. for someone who hadn’t read anything, it felt tacked on because I don’t think I cared at all about it and they hadn’t given me any reason to.

The Wennerstrom takedown is a great payoff in the book. Kinda reminds me of the Scouring of the Shire, really, though I wouldn’t regard them as comparable in terms of literary value.

In the movie, though, yeah it feels pretty tacked on. If they’d spent more time on the set-up, and condensed the Wennerstrom takedown, it would have flowed a lot better.

Exactly.

South Park is unrepentant, but it uses its refusal to facilitate PC stuff gives it the ability to make really cutting commentary, like in the crack baby basketball episode (just off the top of my head).

I mean, they made an episode about Tourette Syndrome and it got praised by advocates of people with the disease.

Esiason also took aim at quarterback Mark Sanchez, a player whom Namath recently has supported.

"If you watched Mark Sanchez the last month of the season, he was like a chihuahua standing on Madison Avenue and 36th Street entering the Midtown Tunnel, eyes bigger than you-know-what, and just so shaky," Esiason said.

In the event the P.C. police had an issue with Esiason’s reference to a breed of dog that bears a Mexican name, given that Sanchez is Mexican-American, Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com has cleared things up by contacting Esiason for a clarification.

Seriously.

"I chose a small dog that always looks shaken and has big eyes, and doesn’t like big things — a chihuahua," Esiason said. "It’s a skittish dog and he’s been a skittish player."

wiki
In Game 3, Wilson Alvarez was looked on by the Giants to keep them alive. Opposing him would be Alex Fernandez, hoping to close out the series. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth. Jeff Kent hit a solo home run with one out to make it 1–0 Giants. But the Marlins would put the series away when Devon White hit a stunning grand slam into the left field bleachers in the top of the sixth. Kent would hit another solo home run in the bottom half. But two RBI doubles by Charles Johnson and Craig Counsell put any hopes of a Giants comeback out of reach. Robb Nen got Damon Berryhill to ground out to end the series. In response to their team being swept, Giants fans littered the field with garbage as the Marlins players celebrated.

That Aldon Smith rookie guy really sets the entire defense up. Being able to rush 4 and get pressure non stop really helps the defense.

Niners got the Giants to play their game. If they come out and play strong this week, they have a good chance at doing it again.

True.

But he’d plateaued in the Yankees org. They aren’t willing to play him at catcher, first and third are occupied, and their lineup is too old to carry a full-time DH.

On top of that, it was blatantly obvious they desperately needed starting pitching.

At worst, the Yankees made an even trade. So they got value for an obvious trade chip despite having him on the trading block for years. If my soul were so lacking as to render me a Yankees fan, I’d be just fine with the deal.

Colbert’s Super PAC, which was re-named The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC after Colbert handed the reins to fellow comedian Jon Stewart and announced his exploratory committee, launched an ad in South Carolina this week labeling Mitt Romney a “serial killer.”

The Colbert ad is an obvious spoof of anti-Romney ads being run by the pro-Newt Gingrich super PAC in the Palmetto State. Gingrich has said any untrue statements should be removed from the ad, but, because the PAC does not coordinate with Gingrich, they have refused to re-edit the ads, which some say stretch the truth about Romney’s time at Bain Capital.

Colbert took a similar tone, saying he had “nothing to do” with the “serial killer” ads.

“I am not calling anyone a serial killer,” Colbert said. “That’s not my super PAC.”

But his purported campaign faces several uphill battles, namely that the deadline for getting his name on the ballot has passed and South Carolina’s voting system does not allow for write-in candidates.

The only place where someone could conceivably write in a vote for Colbert is on an absentee ballot, which are still being sent out as requested. However, those ballots would not be counted by the state.

Colbert brushed off such ballot access issues.

“They say I can’t get on the ballot in South Carolina?” he said. “They said you can’t go to the moon. They said you can’t put cheese inside a pizza crust, but NASA did it.”

Question:

if anyone has had or knows about shin splints, what do you do about them? I have a bump or lump on each shin, and i’m assuming that signifies shin splints. I also have had some pain while running. Obviously i might have to take a break from running, but is that really what it is?

by PiKAgiant on Jan 15, 2012 8:05 PM PST reply actions  

Those don’t sound like shin splints to me—where is the pain located? Front of the shin? Did you start running recently after a long break off?

The best way to combat them in my experience has been to ease into my runs (not going full speed for the first mile or so), stretching out the tibialis anterior (you can find stretches online), and strengthening the TA by doing a couple of different exercises, some of which involve a stretch band. Usually after I’ve been running for a month or more, I can start my runs out at full speed without any problems.

Also, good shoes make a huge difference.

Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.

by speckops on Jan 15, 2012 8:10 PM PST up reply actions  

i'd say the front of the shin,

and they were only apparent after running. I have been pretty much running 4 or 5 days a week the past year, with a few breaks here and there. but nothing like this.

By the way, that’s it, i think you nailed it, the recent week i’ve been running hard the first mile instead of just easing into it. I’ll definitely stretch more, and gonna have to think about new shoes eventually because the ones i have are a little old. But i’ve never had a problem, and i’ve been running for about a year straight

How often and how long do you run for? The bump in your shins doesn’t sound like shin splints to me. I had them before during a period of very intense physical activity a few years ago. By the end of it just taking a step felt like getting kicked in the shins. Rest and painkillers are the best cure, but see a doctor could be something more serious like compartment syndrome.
