U.S. Immigration Service approves Angel Villalona’s work visa application, Giants expect him to report to spring training on time | Extra Baggs
One last Extra Baggs for the road. Villalona should be back in camp, and his long trudge toward the majors continues anew. I guess that cheering for Barry Bonds for fifteen years was basic preparation for the ambiguous and uncomfortable cheering to follow.

I haven’t had time to read the prospect threads and what not, what’s the grougthink? Does angel have a shot at making the 40…ever? or has his time come and gone? I see Baggs is thinking single A for him to start, that was my first thought as well. He oughta live with those people that Panda lived with!

Obviously missing all that time screws up his development timeline and it could’ve ruined him completely.

Guesses on the other 4 teams?
The Pirates and Yankees have been discussing an A.J. Burnett trade recently, and yesterday we learned that Pittsburgh is reportedly willing to take on $10MM of the $33MM left on his contract. The Yankees are looking for a 50-50 split, however. Garrett Jones is off the table as well. Here’s the latest on the right-hander…
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter) that the Pirates are one of four teams in on Burnett, but the Yankees feel the Buccos make the “most sense” as a trade partner. One of those four teams is on Burnett’s no-trade list, which reportedly includes ten West Coast clubs.

Up there with the worst episodes of the show, maybe the absolute period. Poor Martha got some crappy episodes given to her and one of the show’s most famous episode- “Blink” -she was only in for a few minutes.
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Feb 11, 2012 12:42 PM PST up reply actions
I think every companion during RTD’s run saw wild fluctuations in episode quality. The biggest thing that Moffat did was really just bring the standard up across the board plot- and production-wise. I feel that RTD was actually easily the superior show runner for character development (non-Rory edition).
But good characters in episodes like Daleks in Manhattan is less worth my time than just watching consistently good episodes.

by howtheyscored on Feb 11, 2012 12:46 PM PST up reply actions
Soon after Daleks Take Manhattan, there’s a run of four really good to great episodes- the two-parter with the Family of Blood (the episodes that made me heart Martha), Blink, and 42 (I really enjoyed that one) so you’re right about that. But then comes the Master and the Doctor as a parrot and it’s back to badness.
I do give RTD credit for making the show wildly entertaining and that even the worst episodes are still kind of fun to watch. Moffat does seem to be more plot, plot, plot but the Pond’s/Dr relationship has really become something really special and sweet as evidenced by the final few minutes of the Christmas episode. I’d totally love to hang out with all three even if I’d spend the whole time seriously lusting after Mrs. Pond
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Feb 11, 2012 1:20 PM PST up reply actions
I still think Amy is pretty character-less. Spunky-when-she-needs-to-be and skirt jokes. They had a real chance to do something interesting with the idea of a girl so fixated on a childhood encounter that she holds onto the raggedy doctor character into adulthood. Then they had the chance to do something neat with the lost baby plot. And both times, it just turned out that “Oh, she’s perfectly fine an episode later, and still so spunky!”
Rory is awesome—though they still messed up the lost baby thing with him.
RTD did good things and Moffat does even more good things, but I sometimes do wish there was a teensy bit more of a compromise between the two.

Moffat also ultimately messed up River Song. If not for Alex Kingston being awesome and knocking most of her WTFITS post-series-6-hiatus storylines out of the park, there’s no chance that I would remember that character as fondly as I do.

by howtheyscored on Feb 11, 2012 1:30 PM PST up reply actions
I think you’re right on a lot of that— Amy was completely distrustful of the Dr. for basically two episodes and that was the end of that. They’ve also hinted at both her being messed up because of him and her worshipping him (like in “the God Complex” and “Amy’s Choice”) but it’s not dealt with on a continuous basis (maybe because the timeline got reset at the end of S5?) Then again, I keep on reminding myself that the show is, at heart, a kids show and not to get too caught up in character development. Karen just has amazing chemistry with Matt and the relationship between Rory, Amy, and the Doctor has turned into a really multi-layered relationship that’s become really sweet. I’d be fine watching those three for seasons upon seasons.
As for everything with the baby (and River), I just chalk that up to S6 suckiness. Sorta like I ignore certain things that happened in S6 & 7 of Buffy.
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Feb 11, 2012 2:06 PM PST up reply actions
Pre-hiatus S6 was some seriously great Who, I thought. Then it went off the rails.
I do agree that Gillan and Smith have good chemistry, and all are obviously fun to watch. That Badger didn’t come back at the end of the year was a good indication of how poorly planned the second half of the season was.

Don't give up on the River Song as an infant storyline yet.
There’s a rumor that the Ponds’ leave-taking will involve timey-wimey stuff that creates a new “history” wherein Amy and Rory get to raise their baby themselves. Never underestimate the Moff.

Like most shows with really bad story-arcs, the non story-arc stuff is pretty good (except for the Pirate one). The arc stuff is a mess. I just rewatched “the Impossible Astronaut” in hopes it would be much better in hindsight but it’s still all over the place, messy and still makes no sense.
If the Pond’s leave with some timey-wimey stuff that gets them to raise River, that would be too easy plot-wise but I think I’d be happy with it. I like the fact Amy and Rory are the only two companions in Nu Who who managed to survive pretty well- thanks in part to the Dr. realizing how badly it ended for his other companions. It’s one of those nice touches that I like in the relationship between the Dr. and the Pond’s, that the Dr. likes them so much he tries to save them from himself.

“Possible murderer”. I think there are grades of morality here, and we can’t know everything we need to for judging his character. Similar to Ray Lewis. Watch him play, cheer the Home Runs he hits as a Giant, boo the bad at-bats, but don’t invite him to dinner.

Certainly more possible as a first baseman than just about anywhere else.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
really?
to make it as a first baseman, he’ll have to hit a lot better than at any other position.

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
Yes, but I’d assume that it’s much easier to get a swing back – especially with natural talent and good bat speed – than it would be to have to get your hitting AND fielding AND throwing skills back.
I know there’s some debate on here as to the difficulty of playing first base, but really, as a 1B there’s one thing he’s expected to do well, rather than 3.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
IIRC, he was sort of clankmitt. Moved from 3B ( weight, lack of lateral movement ?) to 1B when he hit San Jose.
I'm a Giants Fan, but I'll always be rooting for Matt Downs
Adopted Son:Dan Burkhart , Future Backup To Buster Posey.
Yeah, he’s been regarded as a bat without a real position. I’d wager that the decay with his glove, relative to where it was before, is not as disastrous as it would be if he was a 2B or 3B.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I’d just be worried that without 2 years of experience with pitch recognition, when it was already a weakness, he’ll never get to an acceptable level.

I just read about Edgar Renteria intended to play this season
And I pondered for a second if it was worth the Giants time to bring him back.
Not a good sign for the SS position
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
The Giants were mentioned in rumors to sign him.
Sadly, he was better last year than either Cabrera or Tejada, though he only played about a half-season.

My guess is that whenever a player who’s near 40 and close to hanging it up becomes a free agent, everybody thinks the Giants might sign them.

Jaroslav Flegr is no kook. And yet, for years, he suspected his mind had been taken over by parasites that had invaded his brain. So the prolific biologist took his science-fiction hunch into the lab. What he’s now discovering will startle you. Could tiny organisms carried by house cats be creeping into our brains, causing everything from car wrecks to schizophrenia? A biologist’s science- fiction hunch is gaining credence and shaping the emerging science of mind- controlling parasites.

You know, people are acting like it’s some huge travesty that the Ws cut Lin, and I get it, because Asian American star playing in the Bay Area would be a huge deal. But from a basketball perspective, is it really that strange that a team with a glut of good PGs cut one who turned out to be pretty good? Not even that embarrassing, IMO.

Ellis is more of a shooting guard
Curry still makes a fair number of mistakes/turnovers for a point guard, so some feel he’s a shooting guard too. But Curry’s defense against any shooting guard in the league would be horrific to watch.

Curry just always seems to make careless passes/turnovers at critical times, i’d rather have the ball in his hands than Monta in crunch time though. Both players’ on-ball defense is lack luster, and Lin excels in that department

Well Ellis isn't a point guard at all
He’s more of a two guard, despite his size.
Curry is trying to play point guard but i don’t know if it suits him. He turns the ball over a lot
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
yea
even if he were on the warriors he would get hardly any playing time at all, especially with Steph and Monta on the roster, he’d get nothing. It’s great he’s found a team/environment where he can thrive, but man, Spike saying it’s his fault is bogus. Especially since Jackson was hardly with the team or had any control over what happened.

granted an impressive four games but four games. Lakers are historically bad against quick PGs and were coming off of a OT game with the Celtics.
Lins’ biggest problem will be on the defensive end.
I still say that Nate Robinson (who is on the Warriors) is a better player than Lin.

How long until you will admit he's for real?
There’s a real “moving the goalposts” feel to this discussion. “Oh, it’s been only two games!” “Oh, he hasn’t been on the road yet!” “Oh, he played against shitty Derek Fisher!” The fact is, the Lakers did defend against him well, cutting off his angles on his drives. He adjusted by hitting jumpshots. That shows me that this isn’t some fluke. He’s constantly improving him game.
If he takes the Knicks to the playoffs, will you finally admit you are wrong about him?

I'll agree with a comparison by Steinmetz saying he's like Flip Murray
I’m not saying he isn’t good, he’s a great defender, drives the basket, has good court vision. But to determine he’s a great player after a few games is a little bogus. Just saying it’s a little early to say anything other than he’s a good player in a good situation.

I have a bunch of little white patio chairs out in the back yard that I brought home with me. I left the tonka trucks and the frisbees (at 50¢ those are easy enough to pick up second hand). But I’ve got child sized basketballs and soccer balls and a ton of those “pop-up” playhut cubes, tunnels, and tents. Luckily those fold up pretty small.

that’s nuts.
they had to give us some money though because we had to plan a cooking activity every week. I think we got dinged by the state for too many classes calling peanut butter crackers a cooking project.

to buy paper, glue, paint, pencils, chalk, dry erase pens, craft supplies for holiday projects, and the required weekly “cooking projects” and then maybe when it was all said and done I’d have enough left over to buy a new puzzle.
So I started going to 2nd hand stores and yard sales, but for the most part what I buy there…. I keep!

We weren’t supposed to ask parents… but I’d make sure they knew what we needed and they usually came through.
I had one momma, single parent, working 2 jobs, who would come in once a month and hand me $20 for classroom supplies. I was always careful to save all the receipts.

Well, at private schools teachers aren’t usually prohibited from asking parents to help out. We were in a low socio-economic neighborhood and asking the parents was considered a no-no. In my experience the parents wanted to be asked.

same here, not one field trip in the 3 years I was in SJ, so not right.
that’s why I’ll never go back to public til things are set right…even in the less affluent catholic schools down here, the parents are still involved and offer help even if it can’t be monetarily.
there’s a huge abuse scandal at an elem. school in LA where they’re replacing the whole staff and suddenly the attendance is up 20% and parents are signing up to help in the classroom…sad that it takes something this horrible to get them on board :(

I went to a private elementary school until 5th grade. I remember they organized the classes so at least one child who had a mom that could sew was in each class so they could make costumes for the plays that we did each year. We had things like school-wide Thanksgiving feasts and trips to Yosemite all organized by parents. Parents were so involved with school, it was weird if you didn’t see someone’s parent every day (helped that a lot of moms taught there as well).
Then I went to a public school for 5th grade, and it was completely the opposite – parents were encouraged not to volunteer anything. Didn’t stop my mom from setting up a uniform exchange, which was her pet project at the private school, although that was pretty much the only parent-run event at the school. I don’t think they’ve had it since my youngest brother graduated 5 years ago and my mom stopped volunteering there.

See as a Pre-k -K teacher I felt it was my job to get those parents involved. I had jobs any parent could do. By the time I left every parent on the PTA/School Site Council was one of my ex-pre-k parents.

IMHO, any school that doesn’t encourage parents to volunteer their FREE time has something to hide
it’s bad enough we have to shell out for supplies with our own salary but to feel alone and unsupported (::cough::administration::cough::) is just too much to bear

see, that’s what I mean, every parent can do something, I had one ask if she could take things home to cut out-because of her I was able to finally put in use the file folder games, her kids helped color the pictures! :)
"All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch."
"Holy shit, you geeks are badass!"
Looking back, I really appreciate my parents being involved with my elementary school. All the parent involvement meant the school could put on more fun events, which meant that learning itself would be more fun, which in turn meant that we learned a lot quicker. Plus, the parents saw first-hand what we were doing and then were more encouraged to lend more support, and eventually it got to the point of every class getting new hand-sewn costumes for the class play every year.

When I was in elementary school (mid to late 70s), my mother volunteered at my school. She ended up with a paying job until her position was eliminated 3 years ago. She’s back to volunteering even at her age (she loves it).

I think when people stop calling him “the Asian Tebow” and the rest of the sports channels/blogs/magazines stop paying attention to him because he’s good all the time, then that’s when you can say he’s good.

To be specific, LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct, I believe, the focal point of incoming light.

It also doesn’t stop aging problems. You will still need to get reading glasses in your 40s.
Plus, eyes gradually change throughout life. I got LASIK about 12 years ago and had 20-20 for 10 years. I’m at about 20-40 for the last 2 years. I use some prescription glasses for watching HD tv, live sporting events, going to the movies, etc but don’t need them for most of the rest of the day.

Notice how the light does not focus at the back of the eye when the guy is pushing it into a bad shape, but rather behind it, and how it does when he is dead and the eye is the correct shape.

Or, wait, I did the light wrong, didn’t I? It doesn’t come to a point at the back of the eye, does it? It couldn’t possibly do that whole upside down image thing if the light all just came to a point like that.

Count me as surprised that ICE granted AnVil the visa so seemingly effortlessly. I thought that they would at least make him twist in the wind well into ST just to prove how tough they are.
I love Baggs, bu I’m going to disagree with him and predict that AnVil will start out the season in Augusta rather than in SJ. They really don’t have another 1B candidate with his upside and his abilities that would be a good fit there. Basically they were looking at Ben Thomas and Mike Murray splitting time at 1B. Augusta is also a lot more low-key and away from the spotlight than SJ would be. The away games in the Cal League would likely bring out a ton of catcalls against AnVil this season. Besides, Ricky Oropesa would have to get hurt or lay a huge egg in ST not to be given the starting 1B spot for SJ to start the season.
If AnVil does well for a few months in Augusta then I could see the Giants promoting him to SJ at some point in the 2nd half of the season.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
Visas are not issued by ICE. They are usually issued by USCIS. The Giants probably applied for a P1 visa as soon as AnVil was cleared of charges, which if I remember correctly was a couple months ago. If the consular officer reviewing his case had any reason to doubt the outcome of his case they probably would not have issued a visa.
Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Cantona! Oooh Aaah Cantona!
Well, they probably applied for a P1 visa as soon as AnVil threatened to sue if they didn’t reinstate him.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Doesn’t matter. Visas usually don’t take that long to review.
Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Cantona! Oooh Aaah Cantona!
1. They do when the applicant appears to have bought their way out of a manslaughter/murder trial.
2. In general, visas from extremely poor countries like the DomRep take longer to review and are notorious for getting lost in limbo when more info is needed to make a decision.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
I work a defense / foreign policy related job for our government, I’ve seen Visas and other documents get reviewed and issued in mere hours in countries far worse than the DR. Granted these were usually fast tracked because I requested them, but the average visa case does not take that long to review, unless a SAO is being run. In AnVil’s case the documentation was obviously good enough to get him a Visa in the past. The consular officer was most likely presented with documents related to the murder, that would have aided him in making an informed decision.

Gary Brown is supposed to start in AAA right?
Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Cantona! Oooh Aaah Cantona!
I don’t think anything has been by announced by the Giants. He finished in San Jose last year and the Giants aren’t all that fast at moving along their prospects. I think AA is just as likely as AAA.
Yeah. Evans seems to want Brown to be in AA, but either one seems possible.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I'd guess AA
Since the consensus of the MLB managers is that AAA pitching is worthless and the best pitchers are down in AA. They would want to see how he does against quality pitching.
Pitching and defense wins championships, but oh those dingerz....
Well, there’s also the fact that the EL is a much tougher league for hitting, while hitting .300 is practically league average in the PCL. The parks he would be playing in are as much of a factor as the quality of competition.

My friend who teaches high school is 5-1 on a good day. But she is, I say with great affection, a huge bitch. She has never had a speck of trouble with a kid, even teaching in second-tier districts. But I do not think she ever had a real psychopath.
I loved English, my favorite hs teachers were from that dept, actually ran into my all time fave teacher at a conference (she’s still teaching!!!) and I felt like a rabid fan telling her how much I still admire her and how her presence in the classroom influenced my “style”, she was as ever adorable and humble and hasn’t aged a bit (darn her!) :)
sorry, primary teacher here…. what’s 5-1? 5 kids to 1 teacher?!
also I’ve never heard of “second-tier districts” (I’ve been away from public school too long lol) I’m assuming it’s based on API?
"All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch."

Five-foot-one. And that was my gentle way of saying, a school where some kids were or wanted to be hoodlums.
Ohhhhhhhhh! lol me, sorry, got it!
well, IMHO she’s a saint for taking that on, and good on her for being firm, probably the first time anyone has given these kids rules and expectations and structure in their lives. Best of luck to her!
"All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch."
"Holy shit, you geeks are badass!"
She was very good at her job, but got tired of her commute, so went to the private school that is a half mile down the road. The local district didn’t want to support what she wanted to do, they did.
awww, I love a happy ending (oh, dammit… tnwis!)
public schools had better start paying attention because all these good dedicated fresh teachers they’re pink slipping are finding better jobs in the private schools where they’re allowed to do, of all things, TEACH!
my first year in private, I got thru most of the curriculum by end of March, I was so shocked, I was lucky if I got 2/3 of it in public, between the disruptions, unruly students and state testing prep :-/

They'd be better off shopping Wilson than Romo, I suspect.

My feeling is that the “closer” tag will always have some measure of value, and there will always be at least a few teams willing to overpay for it.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Like I said. Depending on who else is available at the deadline, the Giants could probably get more for Wilson than he’s really worth. Though I sincerely doubt the Giants would ever try to move him.

Personally I didn’t have Angel in my top 30 but I don’t think anybody should be shocked if he did happen to come back and put himself on the prospect map. He had flaws and he’s missed a tin of time but he also had tools that can help him back to some form of game ability. We’ve seen a dramatic example of this in the last few years in the Josh Hamilton story. That’s an extreme outlier case of course, but the combo of youth and tools always leaves the door cracked open.
For me I neither expect nor deny an Angel comeback. I’m firmly in a Show Me camp, but I’ll be watching with interest to see if he can.
Pretty much my stance. I’m hoping he doesn’t take this 2nd chance for granted.

Me too. I don’t think he is taking it for granted. Suing the Giants takes a lot of effort in itself. I’m firmly in the show me camp, but the first move to get back to playing is a good step. The next question will be physical conditioning – assuming he gets through customs, what type of shape is he going to be in? Its kind of like finding a $100 bill in your rental tux all hungover from the big wedding. Is this thing real? Nice little backpocket chip for the Giants.

It shows you how incredibly psychological a game it is...
If there can’t be clutchiness in baseball at least there is in golf.
Golfers make putts for par more frequently than putts for birdie at the same distance. Reason is suspected to be fear of the bogey.

Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
That makes a lot of sense though it may be strategic. I.e. they may be more willing to take a run at a put if it is to save par, but want to avoid three-putting. I am more interested in comparing a golfer like Tiger’s performance before and after a major life event. With him it is complicated because of age and injury, but recall he won the freaking US Open in 2009 with one knee.

North Highlands was mostly where all the military people lived, a long stretch of liquor stores and nudie places. The military pulled out like what? 10 years ago? and uh, it didn’t help the neighborhood any.

I start paying attention to when it gets close to the start of the season and more of the regular players play instead of the scrubs. It’s just really nice to hear baseball on the radio again even if it doesn’t count.

I dunno… I think jack donaghy is kind of alright and all… I mean I’d pick him over, say Robert California. But nobody holds a candle to Ron Swanson. He was born ready. He’s Ron bleeping Swanson.

ST is awesome and exciting through about the first three games, and then it becomes monotonous and boring. And annoying because people inevitably overreact to ST stats.

Don't get me wrong, spring training games are awesome, it's just pitchers/catchers doesn't do it for me
So yea, i definitely like that there’s baseball, but i agree, it gets boring after a while, and people always make too much of the stats, i mean, wasn’t Huff not bad this last spring training?

I got a call from my uncle today, who lives in LA
He never watches sports. He has vaguely heard of Kobe Bryant, despite living in LA. He doesn’t recognize anybody on the Knicks. Yet, for 3 hours he was glued to the Television and cheering for Jeremy Lin.
He told me he was so excited after the win that he was only able to sleep for 2 hours that night. And even now, he can’t wait until the next time he is on National T.V.
Yes, it has been blown out of proportion because it is new york. Yes. you can laugh at how preposterous this poll is. I am not one to argue that with you. But I just want to let you know that, for some people, this is bigger than the World Series, Superbowl, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs combined.
How do I know? Because he never calls me. And today, he called me for no other reason than just to talk about Jeremy Lin.

Yes
Other than Bruce Lee, what other prominent Asian Americans are there in popular culture? There aren’t very many. Asian males are typically portrayed as small, nerdy emasculated figures. This is especially evident in professional sports. My friends and I are big sports fans, but I don’t think any of us thought we’d see anyone like us playing professionally anytime soon. Basketball in particular is known for having big, physical dudes, something people don’t associate with Asian Americans. Even Jeremy Lin had to break through preconceived notions. Once when he stepped into a tournament in SF, someone there told him “Sorry, sir, there’s no volleyball here tonight. It’s basketball.” Lin’s success shows that, hey, maybe it IS possible. Although Lin is nowhere on the level of Bruce Lee, he’s doing something similar in uniting Asian Americans and showing that they can be a force to be reckoned with. That’s why it’s kind of a big deal.

yeah
There was an article in the Times today that alluded to that. The relevant excerpt:
Some coaches have wondered whether Lin, who is of Taiwanese descent, did not receive a closer look by recruiters because of his ethnicity. Coaches have said recruiters, in the age of who-does-he-remind-you-of evaluations, simply lacked a frame of reference for such an Asian-American talent.
Link: For Lin, Erasing a History of Being Overlooked.
This is distantly similar to an idea from the draft chapter from Moneyball. Prospects are evaluated according to existing reference points that scouts can evoke in their heads. And, well, race/ethnicity is part of that. (This isn’t unique to sports, of course.)

Phil Taylor of SI said this, reported by Bruce Jenkins at sfgate:
— Good stuff this week from Sports Illustrated’s Phil Taylor, who lives just a few miles from Palo Alto High School and first noticed Lin back in 2005. “I remember lots of opposing guards contorting their faces in a mixture of surprise and disgust after he flashed past them to the hoop,” wrote Taylor, “as if they couldn’t decide if they were more shocked or angry that this skinny Asian kid had used them like an orange traffic cone.”
Taylor recalled that as Lin drifted on the fringe of NBA relevance, “I knew that part of the reason Lin was so quickly dismissed was that people had a hard time believing than an Asian-American could play point guard in the NBA. I missed on him, too. I didn’t question the conventional wisdom, even though it didn’t go along with what I saw with my own eyes.”

He was a post defense specialist in the great late 80s Lakers’ team. I gather he was a top scorer in college, but when I saw him he must have had the worst touch around the basket I’d ever seen. He’d grab an offensive rebound, then flip it up and get nothing but backboard. He did this consistently.

Mike Shapiro, former Giants general counsel, is running the team. The manager is ex-Dodgers outfielder Mike Marshall, the pitching coach ex-Giant Mike LaCoss.
I hit a couple of home runs at Alberts Park in high school.

LOL Giants fans being assholes to the Dodgers:

This was back in the dog days of Candlestick, where fans would attempt to take on the Dodgers time after time.
After this event, Mike Marshall was public enemy number one in Candlestick and to this day, to rev up Giant fans about the rivalry, the Giants play this clip on their Jumbotron often when the Dodgers come to town.

i'm kind of interested in going to a game or two
it’s 10 min away from where I work

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
lol Marin
San Rafael is practically 10 minutes from everywhere.

hey my coworker lives in Point Reyes station and it takes her longer than that to get to work!

Okay, well, West Marin excluded. Point Reyes Station is more than 10 minutes from Olema, which is another ten minutes from the middle of fucking nowhere.

Mill Valley to San Rafael near the Civic Center, so yes, you’re pretty much right.

The commute to work southbound from Novato and beyond is lousy, but in normal traffic flow everything in the 101 corridor from Sausalito to Novato is pretty damn accessible.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
i have the ideal commute, probably. i get to watch all the poor suckers on the other side of 101 twice a day as I cruise along at 70 mph.

Hah. I don’t even have to go as far as the freeway right now, so I’m spoiled, but I may start commuting to the Presidio once or twice a week. It’s gonna suuuuuuck.

are you living/working in marin?

Sí.

I dealt with those last year, but they’re not really a problem commuting from Mill Valley to San Rafael.

last year
I had a pretty easy commute from PA to Sunnyvale on 280. So it’s all good.

Also, lol 70.
I don’t know why they even bother pretending that the speed limit is 55.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
i get a little nervous sometimes, but there’s usually at least a few people going faster than me.

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
Yeah. I’ve nearly gotten nipped a few times going southbound through Strawberry, with patrol cars tucked behind the overpass before Shoreline. The only other place I generally see cops is coming down the hill into Novato… tucked behind the overpass. They are nothing if not predictable.

Yup, that’s the big speed trap in South Marin. I always slow down to 60ish when I go by tehre.

The only ticket I ever got was driving through Marin at 75.
Once more, coming to you by proxy.

It’s not so much that they can’t live there as that I haven’t really seen any evidence that they do.

You know who lives in Point Reyes? Cults, that’s who.
(I actually know some very nice, very normal people from that area, but it has its fair share of weirdos.)

We like to hike out that way, especially in the summer when it’s like a bizillion degrees here in Sac.

I’ve partied in Bolinas. That shit is surreal.

Did you go to Tam?

yeah

All the kids whose parents didn’t want them to get drug-addled at Drake or Tomales, I assume.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
well
I think Stinson Beach and Bolinas (and apparently Dogtown!! according to Wikipedia) are tied to Tam.
Tam is a better school anyway, of course. And it’s probably quicker to get there.

Oh, duh. Stinson. My window to West Marin has always been through Fairfax, so I tend to forget that not all of it is buried beyond San Geronimo.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Yeah, I usually go over the hill past Mt. Tam, so I often forget you can get there through Fairfax!

Ha, I only mentioned it because we always drive through it when going up to Point Reyes or Tomales. It’s a town with a population of 30 whose claim to fame is “Dogtown Fine Arts”, which has been closed every time we’ve driven through it.

It’s in between Bolinas and Olema.

The good news, in Bolinas it is still the late 70s.

Yes! that video of Marshall ticks me off. I know he was doing it because of the IBB that set up his at bat, BUT I can remember hating the Dodgers sooo much back in them days.
Roger Craig was probably one of my most favorite managers.
I sit and await always faithful to the giants

This has probably been answered a bunch here already but . . . does Manny have to serve the rest of his suspension before he plays? I think he should. I’m guessing he doesn’t. Also, this is all theoretical because he’s not going to play but I’m just wondering.

I mean, I keep waiting for it to not suck, and they keep promising they’re fixing it, and it still sucks. When will I give up?
