In the grand tradition of halftime entertainment, the Clippers promotional staff roped one random fan out of the stands to see if he could do the unlikely, sink a shot from half court in one, and only one, try. Oh, and just to make things interesting, a prize would be offered. A nice prize—a new car.
As it happens, that lucky random fan was (Randy) Winn.

This Does not include stolen base. This is first to third on a single or going home from second. One of the best baserunner in baseball.

I like the "best teams" list.
how much during that time did we hear that the team had to get better at “fundamentals” like base running, instead of fundamentals like getting on base and just hitting the damn ball.
I guess it’s the classy Winn effect, but on a team with Molina, and Speedy McFuckup I’m impressed by the Giants placing.

Locals say that means they’re essentially cut out of the action because they can’t even print bumper stickers boasting “Tarzana, Home of Tarzan” without running the risk of getting sued.
“We’d love to use more of Tarzan, especially now, but our hands are tied,” said Sue Broadwater, corporate secretary of the Tarzana Chamber of Commerce. “I guess we’ll just keep selling T-shirts,” she added, referring to the one piece of Tarzan kitsch the chamber can sell, thanks to an agreement struck with Burroughs in the 1930s.

The dumbest thing about this is that
it is really the result of an industry that failed to live in the 21st century. Record companies were screaming about piracy because they want to sell CDs. Itunes changed the marketplace and views completely. Most people will pay a little bit to get what they want.

Failure to adjust to the current era or address it properly is no fault of the consumer.
Piracy is a problem but not as big of a problem as people would have you believe.
The record companies are crying poor, but there’s little evidence to suggest that they’ve seen any downturn in overall revenue. And they’re already screwing the artists anyway.
Studies have suggested that the losses from piracy are almost entirely offset by the exposure resultant from the free spread of information. And that’s even while the big corporate dinosaurs are too stupid to establish a model that actually takes advantage of the modern infrastructure.

My favorite musician (whom I do some work for free for) has experienced a renaissance because of the net
And asks everyone to download his discography
That said
The indie labels really need to evolve beyond iTunes to a platform of their own. Guys who are trying to make it get tragically poor returns from album sales on iTunes, even with the broadened exposure. I try to buy albums in person from them when I can help it, or go through their website.
Coldplay though? Yeah, no qualms about your 30 cents on the dollar.

360 Deals, mainly
Which is harsh, and that’s why many artists now sign distribution deals, own the material and the march themselves, and let the management company, rather than the label take the brunt of it.
Yeah. Last show I went to for my indie artist of choice (Tony Lucca, currently touring under Rock Ridge Music’s TFDI amalgamation), they were running all their transactions over the table, and were taking credit card payments via SquareUp. The technology has really caught up with the darker corners of the industry, but exposure remains the biggest hurdle. Unless you want to degrade yourself on “American Idol.”

One way or another, this darkness got to give.
It's a model issue
Record companies made a lot of money selling albums…resulting in the buyer getting one or two good songs and 10 crappy ones.
People don’t want 12 songs, they just want the one that they like
Also, record companies got cut out because they were too late to innovate. Apple takes a bulk of the profits from itunes.

Not everybody listens to albums where only one or two songs of 12 are good.

I mean "the album" as an idea, not any one in particular.
CB’s implication was that the album only exists to force people to buy 10 bad songs to get two good ones, when there are obviously zillions of examples otherwise.
But you are correct that the albums where that IS the case do not get a lot of spins.

But it is more about choice
if someone puts out a great album (concept or not), people will buy it. The problem is that most albums (especially pop albums) are about having that one or two megahits.

On the other hand
..there is nothing so delicious as a one-hit wonder.
Or someone like the Zombies, with a great career overshadowed by two massive, bookend hits.
Man, the Zombies were good.
So I’ve finally gotten around to Odessey and Oracle and I’m not digging it. At all. What’s the allure?
huh
Er.. um.. er.. it’s a dandy little ’60s orchestral pop record. I could listen to it all day long.
Er.. um.. er.. it’s a dandy little ’60s orchestral pop record. I could listen to it all day long.Is that just not your genre? If the Left banke gives you hives, I could see disliking it.
Never listened to the Left Banke either!
’60s orchestral pop records are definitely not my bag. That said, I like Sgt Pepper and Pet Sounds just fine and I was expecting something on that level.
I recall Grant writing about this recording a few years ago. Not sure if I’m up to being frustrated by SBN’s worth search functionality though…
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle
When I was really, really serious about my pop — when I could bore a first date with Elephant 6 factoids like few other nerds could — this album was an import-only dealie, which usually ran around $30. Since I was a broke college student before the days of Napster, I could never pull the trigger on this CD. It was supposed to be the bestest pop album ever, but it was the same price as three used CDs.
I forgot about it until this year, for some reason. Downloaded it from eMusic, and my mind has been blown ever since. It’s just as complete and well-crafted as Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper’s.
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
Of that era (although not of that style), my favorite "forgotten album " so far is
Love – Forever Changes.
Although The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle is pretty good (and very skilled)
Though it is clearly well-informed, we find his argument unconvincing; however, the possibility that we are too stupid to comprehend it deserves serious consideration. Germane Literature: The Cutting Edge 13:2, 4/2006
I would hardly call Forever Changes ‘forgotten’ — it’s a touchstone. ‘Forgotten’ is hard to do with good ’60s records. Anything decent from that era has become a totem to someone.
Good LP, and not among the big names, that’s true. But jeepers, even the 50 Foot Hose record is considered seminal these days, and that one sold so poorly that nearly every copy I have seen is a promo copy.
Truth.
I tend to like albums that are more of a concept as a whole. But if basically “singles” exist in the form that they do now, why not just abandon the concept of an album altogether if it doesn’t fit your outlook? Include like 3 bonus tracks with your single, and get into a different mindset about what to charge.
iTunes needs to however, get the eff out of the business of charging $0.99 for interstitials and intros.
Word.
I think EPs are kind of under-utilized, tbh. Microtransactions and bundled microtransactions will make bank.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I like this.
Then, maybe put together your 3 EPs that you did in the year as an album at a lower price at the end of the year. Pull out the greatest hits excuse, and include a bonus track for free if you buy the whole thing, or sell that as a single itself.
The problem is people just are risk averse and not creative in the least when it comes to selling things.
Look at what the game industry – the most profitable entertainment industry in the country – is doing with DLC, pre-order bonuses, and cosmetic bonuses and crap like that. They’re making bank, that’s what they’re doing.
Jason Mraz actually did something interesting for his last album, “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” On iTunes in advance of its release, he released three EPs – predictably titled “We Sing,” “We Dance,” and “We Steal Things.” These included alternate studio versions of tracks from the album, and their purchase worked towards reducing the total cost of the album when it came out. All the albums had coordinated cover art as well, so they were effectively parts of a complete set. They also gave advance promotion of the final product that was much more comprehensive than “HERE IS MY FIRST SINGLE, UNWASHED MASSES! BEHOLD MY DOMINATION OF VH1!”
After the album’s release, he also marketed the ever-loving crap out of “I’m Yours,” including a full album of covers available through iTunes. The album itself was almost tertiary to the marketing strategy. It was pretty awesome.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I vaguely remember this.
It’s not unheard of, and certainly smaller acts tend to get more creative with this kinda stuff. Devin Townsend included half of an upcoming album with a preorder of two that were released on the same day (dude needs to slow the eff down) and will have the second half included with the one due this year. Then a physical copy from his store for the nerds like me that need to be completionists.
I used to always buy singles on tape. I distinctly remember picking up Last Dance With Mary Jane and Gin and Juice at the same time.

Cole Hamels now owns the second-largest salary in arbitration history ($15MM), and he’s not stopping there. Agent John Boggs expects his client to be compensated as an “elite pitcher,” and he doesn’t consider Jered Weaver’s team-friendly five-year, $85MM deal a factor. Explained Boggs to Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com:
“I don’t think it’s a parallel. That contract is great for Jered. I understand it. But he took a different path and left a lot of money on the table. He came up through the Angels system and grew up in their backyard. He’s pitching where he grew up. That situation appeals to him. It’s a similar situation to when I had Tony Gwynn. Without getting into specifics of what we’re looking for, the Weaver situation is unique to Weaver.”

I can’t blame some people for being in a “I’ll believe it when I see it” mindset, but yeah, there’s some measure of selection bias going on in the face of insistence by the FO that Huff must be ready to play the OF in 2012.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Bochy was also the guy who unrelentingly played Huff over all other alternatives in 2011. I’m thinking Bochy considers that first base is Huff’s job to lose… to Brett Pill.
Huff played a lot because he was the only viable alternative at 1B for a while.
Belt played a lot after mid-August.

I thought we picked up Bill Hall after Freddy got injured. Which was after Belt broke his wrist.
All the same, I can respect doubts about roster constructions. I just think it’s important to recognize that you have to give something to get something, which was in fact in issue in Belt’s case because he wasn’t on the 25-man roster.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong

Not really my point, but, sure. I’m not arguing that Belt won’t play, I just think it’s a major uphill battle against Bochy for him to log a majority of his time at 1B.

My hunch is that the outfield will wind up being Huff/Belt-Pagan-Nate with the one not playing LF fixed at first base.
But the way people feel about Huff, I feel about Melky.

If Huff is in 2012 form and Belt is hitting, I’d be happy with that outfield, too. The Melky factor really screws with it though – if Bochy decides Belt is “Not aggressive at the plate™”, bye-bye Brandon
It’s not about aggressiveness…it’s about passivity. Yes, there is a difference.

I should clarify
Belt locked up a lot at the plate. He would watch a lot of close pitches and be down in the count.
He also locked up on inside pitches. I think he got a lot better at season’s end.

2011 Giants Adoptee: Orlando Cabrera (because everyone needs to be loved)

I think it’s not being cruel to say that he needed to make adjustments. He was getting a lot of called strike threes, and whiffing over a lot of change-ups. In time he’ll get a bit more benefit of the doubt with umpires, but in the short term I think it would help him to at least protect a bit more with two strikes. He’s a good enough hitter that he shouldn’t need to count on walks to be productive.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Sorry that this is stating the obvious, but:
With less than two strikes he should be watching close pitches. The willingness to let close pitches go early in the count is how you get into advantageous counts.
Passivity only becomes a problem when you are letting drivable pitches go by or have two strikes.

Seriously, though, inflation of salaries is pretty out of control right now.
Like I said last week, in 1998 Barry Bonds was the highest-paid player in the sport at just under $9M a year. I’m all for raising the league minimum, but the numbers pacing the top end are frankly ridiculous.

The moves were described as an “abuse of power” by one of the highest profile supporters of the anti-piracy bills.
“Some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging,” said former Senator Chris Dodd, the chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America.
The hypocrisy is quite delicious.

isn’t that what Rolle was talking about? Asking about Vernon “praying” for the Giants to win?
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
Yep.
When 49ers tight end Vernon Davis was watching the Giants-Packers game on Sunday, he admitted he “prayed” for the Giants to win, so the NFC championship game would be played in San Francisco.
His prayers were obviously answered. Whether or not that’s a good thing for the Niners remains to be seen.
“They better be careful what they ask for,” said safety Antrel Rolle. “Because their wish has been granted.”
Rolle, during his weekly, paid spot on WFAN, said “I can only hope he was saying that because they wanted to get a home game,” and that did appear to be the case. He wasn’t the only one praying over the weekend either. On Monday, Giants receiver Victor Cruz admitted that San Francisco’s win over the New Orleans Saints “definitely works out in our favor a little bit.”

TUESDAY, 9:30pm: The Astros have agreed to sign Jack Cust, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. It’s a one-year deal with a club option for 2013, Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle tweets. TWC Sports represents the corner outfielder/DH.
Cust, 33, averaged 28 homers and 103 walks with the A’s from 2007-09, but his power numbers have since fallen off. If he regains his form in Houston, he could DH for the Astros in 2013, when the team moves to the American League West. Cust, who has a career UZR/150 of -22.4 as an outfielder, figures to pinch hit and play left and right in 2012.

Have we marveled yet at Randy Winn's greatest season as a Giant?
I.e. his first two month stint with the team where he put up 3.9 bWAR in 58 games? .359/.391/.680 with 14 HR, 22 2B, 5 3B. 41 of 83 hits for extra bases. In 247 PA.
He’s my “best case scenario” for any deadline deal. Obviously, if Beltran had just Winn’ed it up after we got him, the Giants would’ve done what it took to keep him. It’s his own fault, really.
I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
yeah, well, look what that 2-month Winn stint did for us (subsequently)

Gave us an awesome two months of baseball, and then helped keep a fun player around for several years? Yeah, that was lame.

Imagine if the team had managed to regularly put out a lineup of Winn, Vizquel, Bonds, Alou, Durham, Snow, Feliz, and Matheny. It wouldn’t have been dominant, but it would have been surprisingly unhorrible.
It’s weird how palatable JT’s .275/.343./.365 line is now. .343 OBP from first base? Heck yeah!

That was his first major league win and complete game. Barry hit two homers in that game, and the second was part of back-to-back-back HRs by Snow, Bonds, and Feliz. I was there!

• Ryan Church says to Brian Schneider, ‘Your knee looks swollen. Go see trainer.’ Schneider to Church: ‘They don’t want to hear it.’
• Mets exec calling Billy Wagner a wimp for complaining of elbow discomfort during sim game in Pittsburgh. Wagner needed Tommy John surgery.
• Still haven’t figured out rocket scientist behind having Jose Reyes bat righty vs. RHP after oblique injury. Injury lingered whole 2nd half.
• Thanks for reminding me about Ryan Church flying from Atlanta to Colorado with concussion. He said he felt like boater bobbing on Bering Sea
• Found oldie: Early in Reyes career, Mets wanted him tougher. They had Art Howe tell him “spit on it” to injury. Had undiagnosed fibula break

I didn’t even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers. I was trying to get people to get into the boats in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60- 70-degree angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats. That’s how I found myself in the lifeboat.
This is pretty funny
The captain did admit grounding the ship while trying to impress residents of an island off the coast of Tuscany with his luxurious $450 million vessel. The Guardian reported that the ship veered off course in order to give "a salute to a retired captain" who lives on the isle. But Schettino maintained that hitting the reef so close to shore saved lives.

In a new interview with Men’s Journal, Wahlberg says that world history would have been different had he not made a fortuitous decision to fly to Toronto a week early and thus avoid boarding one of the planes out of Boston that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11th.
“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” he tells the magazine. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

“I don’t get down with jerking off, dude. Look. I don’t believe in everything that the church says. I try to do the right thing. I lead a clean and pure life. I’m a married guy. I have a beautiful wife. Sex is not the most important thing to me, being horny all the time, spanking the — I mean, it’s not against the law. You can do whatever you want. And it’s not like, ‘I shouldn’t do it because of my faith. I’m just not really that into it that much anyway.”

I would have thrown those bombs out to the friggin’ carrier group. No carrier, no place to land. Planes crash into the sea. You didn’t think of that, did you? That’s because you’re not a movie star. QED.

Also
it’s not just about fighting…it’s about the idea of people flying a plane into a building.
There was an article about how people just did not understand this level of evil. United 93 happened because the people on the plane found out about the earlier attacks.

Exactly, prior to this most hijackings were seeking ransom money or to draw attention to a political cause. Air France Flight 8969 was hijacked and they wanted to fly it into the Eiffel Tower, this never materialized. Wahlberg presuming all this bullshit is hilarious.

I think it’s the part where he mentions his kids that makes me not have an issue with it. I’m not saying I believe he’d be successful necessarily, but some people on one flight were, once they knew what was really going on.
I can see him as the type to fly off the handle immediately if someone put his family in a threatening position.

Exactly. Plus the MO in the majority of hijackings is to keep everybody in their seats or move them to a specific section of a plane. Then kill people who disobey or threaten loved ones. So more than likely he would follow instructions. On top of this assuming some former bruiser movie star from Boston is going to react like a soldier with tons of training and GI joe ninja skills, is ludicrous. You also have to keep in mind that when they forced the plane down in PA, this is one of the few times command of an airplane has been taken away from hijackers by passengers.

I’m not even laughing at it for that reason. I’m laughing at the statement because it is stupid. There is nothing that sets him apart from the average person on those planes. Look at the long list of hijackings in the 70’s and 80’s. Don’t you think that on at least one of those planes was a combat veteran who stood by and did nothing because he didn’t want to get shot or stabbed. The point is if he tried something he would be dead and nothing would have changed.
"They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." ~ Gaylord Perry
Exactly. The other passengers just assumed it was a “standard” hijacking. Flight 93 fought back to avoid causing further death and destruction, not to save themselves.
Dammit. I hate talking about this. A coworker was on that plane. To have Marky Mark delude himself publicly is quite distressing.
