On Sergio Romo ...
by Grant Brisbee on Jan 20, 2012 1:31 PM PST
Email
PrintI'm often asked who my favorite baseball player is, and my response is always the same: "Yes, I have a favorite baseball player, and I'll tell you who it is when I come over to your house to eat Otter Pops and play Metroid because I am 10 years old." It's always been a silly, almost insulting, question. But I might have actually come to terms with something: I'm thinking that Sergio Romo is my favorite baseball player.
This might have put me over the top:
When I saw the picture of the bobblehead, I realized that I would trade my cat for one, even if the person on the other end of the deal was a noted cat-sausage tycoon. I have a large collection of bobbleheads, and I'm not ashamed of it except for all the time. Yet I'm pretty sure that as soon as I get my grubby paws on one of those Romo bobbleheads, it will be my favorite of the bunch.
And when I'm surfing through Giants highlights on MLB.com, I gravitate towards the Romo highlights. Sliderin' is serious business. When Romo finishes one of his dominant innings, I usually rewind the DVR to watch it again during the commercial break.
Just watched that six times. Romo with a 91-m.p.h. fastball that moves over the outside corner reminds me of Happy Gilmore learning how to putt. And when I'm not staring at Barry Bonds's page on Baseball Reference, I'm usually staring at Romo's page.
| Year | G | IP | H | ER | HR | BB | SO | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 1.50 | 65 | 48.0 | 29 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 70 | 0.9 | 13.1 | 14.00 |
When I get sucked into that BB-Ref vortex, it usually leads me to waste time looking up Romo factoids. Did you know that SO/BB ratio is the third-highest in baseball history for anyone who appeared in more than 40 games? Did you know that he has the highest career SO/BB in history for anyone who's appeared in more than 200 games? Did you know he didn't allow an earned run in July or August?
Probably. But like me, you don't care that you've read it before. You'll read it over and over and over. We're spoiled in a lot of ways. Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Pablo Sandoval ... when I was young, it felt like Jack Clark or Brad Wellman were the only options for favorite-player status. Now there are a whole bunch for the 10-year-old in all of us to choose from.
But Romo's my guy. He avoided arbitration today and signed a one-year deal. I probably did a silent-yet-earnest fist-pump when I read the news. As dorky and immature as it is, I think I've become what I've been avoiding for over a decade: a grown man with a favorite player. Bonds help us all.

I wish they'd show the strike out sequence, not just the last pitch
It’s the way he sets up the last pitch that’s ridic. Often times the first slider the hitter swings is the most hilarious one.

Yes. Romo is the most awesomest relief pitcher on the Giants and he had an amazing season last year
But he’s not closer material, apparently.
Never mind, baseball gods. I don't love you any more. You've gone back to hating the Giants
Fare thee well, Carlos. We don't need you apparently.
Continuation from the last thread(a trip down memory lane)
May 17, 2008
On the Giants’ oft-criticized decision not to pursue top free-agent outfielder Vladimir Guerrero after the 2003 season: “The rationale for him at that time was, this will be the replacement for Barry Bonds. As things turned out, Barry Bonds was still playing four years after we had that opportunity. I remember the baseball guys saying we’ve got some reservations about (Guerrero) with his back. The Mets had similar reservations. In retrospect, he’s certainly a guy we wish we’d have been able to get.”
…
On whether he regrets the seven-year, $126 million contract given to pitcher Barry Zito before the 2007 season: “The Barry Zito signing, I think you’d have to say at this point is clearly a failure. That doesn’t mean that I believe at the end of the day, when all this plays out, the full seven-year contract, we’ll say it was a failure.”
…
“And I will say this also, which is often not written this way. It was not my decision. I get a little tired of people saying, whenever any decision goes wrong, ‘Well, that’s Peter Magowan’s decision. Not true. It was a collective decision (among) Larry (Baer), Brian (Sabean), his top baseball people and me.”
…
On how he expects Neukom to manage a team that has 30 partners: “The managing general partner will be the true boss of the operation as I have been. This is a not a democracy. There are not 30 people casting votes on who to trade and who not to trade.”

I think we have been through the “angling for superiority via age and/or seniority” routine with you before. And it was posited to be a pretty juvenile way of going about trying to win an argument.
Ignoring your insistent blockquoting isn’t childish. Rational adults ignore spam all the time. I honestly do my best to keep my toes out of your subthreads these days, since you’ve demonstrated a predictable trend of obfuscation in the face of appeal to reason. I find myself compelled to respond on the off-chance it will actually affect a change in that pattern.

I’m far from the only one who posts block quotes. It’s a feature of the post function for a reason. If you don’t like it, maybe this is the wrong forum for you. I usually try to have meaningful discussions on Giants related subjects. The block quotes to me are the best way of providing objective information.

Okay.
Please be more judicious with your use of blockquotes. Please keep your sig under three lines. If you feel the need to use a long block quote, please consider actually contributing some analysis to what is said, rather than just copy-pasting and over and over again. Please stop using age or seniority as some way of trying to assert seniority in an argument. Please don’t attempt character assassination or ad hominem attacks as a means of winning an argument. Please take some time to reflect on the differences between indisputable facts and things you merely perceive to be true. Please take some time to reflect on the fact that your conduct may, in fact, be as childish as that of the people you accuse of being childish.

There are days where I don’t feel like wearing pants, but I still do when I go outside because it’s good community behavior.
Being respectful of community behavior is part of being considerate and thoughtful. If you think I am the only person who holds these views, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Most of that list? Not that unreasonable. So even if you don’t agree with it, it shouldn’t be that difficult to be compliant. Except the introspection, but I guess that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

Just because something isn’t explicitly forbidden doesn’t make it fair game. Thus the emphasis on community behavior and self-policing.
Just as ignorance of the law does not make one exempt from it, ignorance of social mores does not make one exempt from social consequences. You’re the only one who can protect yourself from them, so as speckops said, some introspection may be warranted.

Nobody posts block quotes with the volume that you do. And I am far from the first person to complain about it. The rest of us use it relatively judiciously. We also don’t post 10 line sigs. One might consider these mores of the community.
There is an pattern of behavior here not consistent with those mores. Given that it’s been discussed before with no evident impact, past a point ridicule is warranted.

He probably *is* past his prime
It’s hard to imagine him having another season as good as he just had. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be very good for a few more years, assuming he stays healthy.
That's not what I'm saying
Just that if a player has one of the greatest seasons in major league history, you probably shouldn’t expect a repeat. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen - witness Bonds’ 2001 2002-2003-2004 seasons — but it’s not the way to bet.

The elbows bit was probably a clue.
I remember one time in tenth grade, we had an in-class essay on one of the Canterbury tales. Which one, exactly, eludes me, but it concerned some seriously over-the-top vitriol about devils crawling out of a priest’s ass and imagery like that. All of us furiously scribbled away about how Chaucer obviously had some serious issues with the Church, etc.
We get our essays back, and our teacher gave the best essay in the class a B. “Did anyone actually think that was real? I mean, did it even occur to any of you that that was satire?”

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
Because it’s the least dense borough of New York that doesn’t belong in New Jersey, it’s kind of far from the center, and there are two airports. On the other hand, I’ve been to Queens (I have some distant relatives who live in Jamaica) and it seemed just as dense as San Francisco.

That the density is a function of the style of the design prevalent at the time, compared to the style when most of San Francisco was built?
Sundrendy!
My knowledge of San Francisco history is disturbingly lacking; I’m not sure of the extent to which the rebuilding of the city after 1906 affected settlement patterns. It’s been a long time since I last read The Power Broker, so I’ve forgotten much of what I knew about New York, but Queens still included large tracts of undeveloped land until after the War, didn’t it?

Marchesa is nice. One of their founders is a judge on Project Runway All Stars.

I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
Sure did. It was fun. I would have picked Rami’s dress. It was butt ugly, but he seemed to be the only one who really got into the spirit of dressing Miss Piggy (I would say Kenley did, but hers just looked like every other dress she makes). I can see why they went for the other dress, though.
I think Mila should have gone home. Her dress was cute but had absolutely zero to do with the challenge.
@legaleagle88
I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
I think Rami’s was a bit too cartoony, tho. I love when Michael wins because he was bullied unnecessarily in his season.
TLO and the AV Club both have no sense of humor about the episode. I love that they treated Miss Piggy like she’s a real person.
2012 is going to be awesome!
I root for Michael for that same reason.
Mila is like, “It’s not my point of view” or whatever. Okay, good luck doing business refusing to make things your customers ask for.
I don’t read those blogs, but the whole episode I kept saying, “I mean, she’s a puppet!”
@legaleagle88
I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
Yeah, but that’s the whole thing about Miss Piggy. I did think they thing they did with that annoying guest judge didn’t work, tho. But Austin’s little exchange about hula hooping was cute.
2012 is going to be awesome!
Also
favorite Mondo moment ever: “and then I realized that I was just being a dick.”

Oh, Mondo. His dress was hideous, though.
The hoola hoop thing was pretty hilarious. I had forgotten about that.

I don’t always like Mondo’s clothes, but they show a definite POV. And I love his personality.
2012 is going to be awesome!
Yeah, that was weird. Did Gretchen win that season? I hated pretty much everything she did.
@legaleagle88
I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
Yes, she did.
I think they’re only doing this All Stars to give Mondo money, just like they did the last one to give money to Danny V.

Oh God yes. There was a huge mass exodus ever since Nico lost his shit. Almost all the long time posters migrated to another site that was set up 3 years ago when Nico purged the first wave of longtime posters. A lot of the more reasonable mods resigned or said they wouldn’t enforce the bullshit new rules, and so he appointed a bunch of random posters who said they were happy to enforce his censorship.

Again it depends on the cancer, but remember that the medical oncology field has a collective boner when a drug prolongs life by 3 months. It is literally enough to get FDA approval. I’m not saying I would not want 3 more months if I had only 12 to live, but I am saying that the extra time does often come with cost in the form of time spent in the hospital, pain, nausea, etc…
Cancer drugs have long term side affects, as well as the obvious fucked up short term ones. You have to decide based on how much chance it has of prolonging you life with quality. Otherwise, why bother?
2012 is going to be awesome!
Of course, it’s an over simplification. Still, they are in the business of selling drugs and their egos are involved in prolonging your life at whatever cost to you.
My sister has breast cancer, and she decided, after a double mastectomy, that the extra few percentage points she would get from radiation/chemo versus Tamoxifen was not worth pursuing. She told the doc, I’m a mathemetician, I understand odds, and the doc couldn’t argue with her.

Strangely enough, I had a good friend who died of breast cancer back in (jeeze) 1994 who decided not to get chemo and died after about 6 months. I was one of the few that supported her decision. And her struggle had the same affect on me, appreciation for life.
2012 is going to be awesome!
People didn’t support her decision? She was the one with the cancer, what the heck?
"I don’t know, just chuck it as hard as you can".-Buster Posey, on how to gun down stolen base attempts
well… same thing happened basically… just a different type of cancer. She didn’t want to continue with treatment, and doctors advised her not to, either. People don’t know how hard it is to go through chemo unless you do. And that’s what i think alot of people take away from something like this, a greater appreciation.

Being supportive of her, make her feel comfortable
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
She was hardly comfortable, but I do think it helped. Plus, I used to take her out and buy her foods she wasn’t supposed to eat, like ice cream. What the hell, right?
2012 is going to be awesome!
Yea… even if they may not be physically comfortable, making them feel comfortable and making them feel good is the only thing we can do. What you did for her was basically make life great until the end, right? Make it awesome. Exactly what i did with mom, when she flew to Cincy and drove back with me all the way to SF

In a tweet dated Jan 15, Keppinger says, “UPDATE: #Tampa Rays are looking better and better each time I talk to them. One month away. Ready wherever it is.”

I’m guessing either another 2 year deal or something like 6/130. I can’t see Timmy going for 4 or 5.
by Lies and Perfidy on Jan 20, 2012 5:45 PM PST up reply actions
if I were timmy i wouldn't go for 4 either
They need to get creative and do like a 6 year deal where Timmy can opt out after 3 with the deal being more backloaded. So if he does walk, Giants get savings on 3 years and if he declines or is hurt, he has the security of playing out his contract. And for that, he gives the Giants 1 free agent year.

I will look around, but on my own schedule — when it is right. I know I will have another dog sometime. They are so cool. And they add so much to my life.

On favorite players...
As someone with an unhealthy obsession with the SF Giants, I often get asked this same question, usually from people less emotionally vested in the outcome of a Giants/Padres game in late August. I also hear people respond to this question with some frequency, and the answers are usually familiar: Lincecum (for obvious reasons), Wilson (cause he’s just so darn cooky!), Sandoval (cause I bought a $20 panda hat)…
My response, has been, and will be for a long time, Matt Cain. He’s been too good for too long to not receive more respect from the masses. I don’t pick him as my favorite because he’s the best on the team or the most popular. But he absolutely deserves to be someone’s favorite, if not everyone’s. And that’s why my only bobble head is an ambiguous white guy holding a world series trophy stoically with the name Matt Cain written on the base. He’s forgettable to the masses and that needs to change.

2 things I been thinking
1. This post got me all Bobbleheady, so I promptly Ebayed it up for a Posey Bobblehead.
(I was going to link, but ebay being stupid)
2. Now that Romo arbitration is done, there are only 2 real contracts left. Tim, and extending Matt. Oddly, these two were priorities 1 and 2 for SFGiants at begining of offseason. I knew Cain would probably not be extended until March, Tim until 10 seconds before the hearing, again. Still… things like Pablos 3 year deal being longest since Rowand\Zito contracts… says something. Beltran trade I feel was acknowledging window for Tim, Matt, Madison window and need for 3-4 spot hitter… and I also feel him getting hurt in the middle of the slide really doomed any chance the giants wanted to double down on risk with him. Brass invested in scouting, obviously (obvious to me remembering like 0 prospects coming up before Cain, and now we have a team full of guys that came out of the draft). Brass keeping their heads low, knowing Crawford has just as good a chance at 2 WAR as any dude they could pay 5 mil a year for. I respect it, hard as it is not to be the Yankees knowing the park sells out, my passion is crazy, lots of people have same passion, and SF is a decent sized market.
And if you read all that, here is a medal.

Furcal and Gonzalez both had 3+ win seasons in 2010. On that virtue alone, I’d call them more likely.
I think Crawford can be a two-win player, but I’m not counting on it this year.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
At this point it’s not reasonable to think that he’d be likely to produce more than 0.5 oWAR, which means that he would have to be a fifteen-run defender to do it. Of course, there are very few true-talent fifteen-run defenders; Crawford’s glove is nice, but I’m not yet convinced it’s quite that nice. Everything would have to go right for him to be worth two wins. I don’t see it.

Thanks for the response
But… really what you can get for 5 mil is not great, at SS, in FA market. Rollins I figure to be 3 to 3.5ish for 11 mil, and that is for 3 years and he is old.
Furcal hit 231/298/348 in 87 games last year, is 34 and is going to snag 6.5 mil next year, on a 2 year deal.
Crawford played 66 games last year, put up .5 fWAR… no reason to think 1-1.5 is not reasonable. At 500k, pretty reasonable.

Sorry about the response. That was rude of me.
I addressed some things about Crawford above; it depends on what WAR you use, but 2.0 seems like a real stretch. It’s hard for me to see how he could possibly be the best option when Mike Fontenot’s already put up a 3-win season (that was probably a fluke, but then he was worth almost one win in just 250 plate appearances last year).

An oppertunity for Fontenot to step up and take the job
2 WAR is a stretch, but for 1/10 the price and Crawford producing at about 1 WAR to 2 WAR… I agree with the price. Putting him in the 8 spot, going to get him some extra walks, which he has shown he can get. The glove, wizard level for sure.
It is an acknowledgement, for guys who are joe average, you can at least draft and develop them, save $ for stars. Giants at crossroads, about to double down on two homegrown stars, Tim and Matt. For all the things to gamble 100 Mil on, they are it, for me.

Not an iPad, but the NYT did a “teardown” of an iPhone 4 in July 2010 — hopefully you can get by the paywall. The bottom line:
- The iPhone 4 retailed for about $600.
- The materials (from companies in at least six different countries) came out to $187.51.
- The assembly in China, possibly at a Foxconn factory, came out to $6.54.
- About $360 of this $600 (60%) was pure profit for Apple.

I’m sure they’re making a hefty profit, but obviously it is warranted based on the demand. I’ve been an Apple user and stockholder for a long, long, time, so I have some bias (warranted, as well), but I’m not evangelical about it. They just make very nice “tools.”

Bold Prediction: Pablo Sandoval finishes 1st or 2nd in 2012 NL MVP voting. I'm Twittering now (well maybe not literally now): @GoofusMcP
no, the "pure" profit obviously doesn't include Apple's own expenses
I’m pretty certain they’re tremendously profitable anyway, even though they presumably pay their own employees in design, marketing, etc. very well. But whatever. Good for them.
I think there are two implicit criticisms — perhaps “lamentations” is a better term if “criticism” seems too harsh — behind these types of teardowns. First is the human rights issue, and in particular how the workers in the Foxconn system are being treated and how little they’re being paid. The focus on Apple’s profitability per unit is meant to accentuate that last point.
The second, U.S.-centric, issue is that the types of assembly work that supported a solid middle class in the mid-20th century in the U.S. are now in China. All the parts that go into iWhatevers come from many different countries which all go to Foxconn for final assembly. So now we have in the U.S. the Apple engineers and marketers who get compensated well, fast food workers on the other side, and few people in-between.

I’m mostly talking about the last shot. In the middle of the game people still have to play a standard defense. On the last shot when he’s ging to run the close to five seconds and then drive, with no chance for a second effort, it’s pretty easy to just dive on him.
Especially when they still had a foul to give. Stupid play.

Could Blake Griffin dunk on Tim Tebow? Blake Griffin leaps with the force of sixteen bengal tigers, but with Tim Tebow setting his feet to take the charge while invoking the name of our lord and savior at a frequency of seven megapietas, they initiate a collision so powerful that they would annihilate all matter around them, prompting a collapse of the very fabric of space and time!

The former.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The United States scored three goals in the first seven minutes Friday night in a record-setting 14-0 rout of the Dominican Republic in the Americans’ opening game of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games in London, a victory tempered by a serious right knee injury to defender Ali Krieger.
Amy Rodriguez tied a U.S. record with five goals in a game — all in the second half — and the 14 goals are the most the Americans have ever scored in a game in their 27-year history.

they are trying to advance to the Olympics. and goal differential can work against them. Say they end up tied with Mexico, but Mexico beats the DR 20-0

Yes and no. Women’s soccer is terrible. The dominican team is obviously a looooot worse than the US team 14-0 is huge win. The largest win ever in a men’s game was Australia 31 -0 American Samoa. A big win between two evenly balanced teams is 5-0 or so.

awww, you’re sweet! I’ve been wondering how the job hunt has been for you too!
I’m an aid for a horrible human being who (rumor has it) teaches 4th grade (I’ve never seen any evidence of it tho)
Had a seasonal job at local Disney Store, but they couldn’t keep any of us post-Xmas. bummer too, I loved that job :(
how curious about the kinder thing, I haven’t noticed anything around these parts because most Catholic schools just follow whatever the local public schools do for cut off dates. But thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep an eye out! :)
hope you are well!

Hang in there!
We’re working on the well thing, one of these days we’ll all be over our colds at the same time!!!
As far as working…lately I’ve just been subbing.
Maybe more parochial schools will be looking to do a T-K. With the cut off date changing a lot of public schools were going to offer a transitional K program; which is a joke… because the main reason they finally raised the age was the temporary $$$ they’d save cuzza less kids in kinder!
Kinder and Pre-k teachers have been wanting this for some time, kindergarten isn’t what it used to be! And 4 year olds weren’t designed to SIT.

yeah, I’m increasingly convinced that education is being run into the ground by check collectors and nepotism. I hate visiting my teaching stuff every time I go to my storage, depressing, when the people who got the jobs you interviewed for have the job because they once worked with the principal…who should have retired 5 yrs ago.
I do like my new school, they have a 2 year preschool program (3 and 4 yr olds) and a full day kinder program, so most of them have the whole school thing down by kinder if they start with us at 3-and gosh are those 3 year olds in their little uniforms a-dorable! :)
sorry the weather got on top of you (I never understood the whole “under the weather” thing when ppl are sick, so why not flip it? LOL) hope you’re feeling better soon! Hopefully this fall we’ll just be looking back at all this with laughter as we prep our new classrooms! :D
