SFGiants.com: George Genovese, Master Scout
by Grant Brisbee on Feb 14, 2012 8:06 PM PST
Email
PrintI'll admit it -- I'd never heard of George Genovese before reading this fantastic article by Chris Haft:
Genovese signed approximately 40 players who proceeded to the Major Leagues. That group included Garry Maddox and Gary Matthews, who patrolled the Giants' outfield in the first few seasons after the club traded Mays to the New York Mets in 1972. Along with Bobby Bonds -- whom the Giants signed only after Genovese's intense lobbying -- Maddox and Matthews helped maintain the club's proud black legacy.
The article also notes that Genovese signed George Foster and Chili Davis in the '70s, and Rob Deer and Matt Williams in the '80s. I've long been fascinated with the parade of All Star outfielders that the Giants had (and frittered away) in the '70s, but I had no idea that one guy was responsible for the bulk of them.
And without Genovese lobbying for Bobby Bonds, there's a pretty good chance that my memory is 586 home runs lighter because the Giants don't sign a certain Pirates outfielder after 1992. I don't like that alternate dimension.

OK, now let's talk about Jaime Lannister.
He’s pretty awesome for someone who almost killed a kid.
I also have trouble understanding why he is disrespected for killing Aerys. They all hated him, he needed to die, who else would be able to get the job done?
2012 is going to be awesome!
It’s one of those things about the reality of the situation vs the idealized way people view it. Yes, Aerys needed to go and everyone realizes that by the time of the story, but Jaime’s job was supposed to be protecting his king and he didn’t.

It's funny to consider that the beginning of GoT is basically the absolute nadir of Jaime's life
He’s been on a downhill slope since killing Aerys and what he does to Bran is pretty much the most monstrous act of his life. Then…things change.

I understand that
but it still makes no sense to me. I think GRRM was reaching here. There could have been other ways to make Jaime a shady character that might ring more true.
2012 is going to be awesome!
Well, it’s also true that no one actually knows the full truth of what Aerys was doing when Jaime killed him. At least, Ned didn’t and he was the first one to run into Jaime.

It has always seemed hypocritical to me
Getting mad at Jaime for treason is pretty ridiculous when like… Robert’s Rebellion. Come on.
I think people just don’t like the Lannisters much, tbh. if Barristan had done it, I don’t think people would have reacted the same way.

Maybe...
But I also think we’re under rating the importance Westerosi seem to place on those specific Kingsguard vows. Not quite up there with guest rights, but to our knowledge no one ever quite violated their KG vows as completely and ruthlessly as Jaime. A man who would do that would be difficult to trust thereafter.
Of course, the fact that this was actually Jaime’s finest act is delicious irony (the world hates him for his finest deed, and one person loves him for a kindness he did not author— I’ve always really loved that).

It reminds me a bit of the Brutus situation. Brutus wasn’t the ringleader, but got the brunt of the attention/blame because of his name/family reputation (Brutii kill kings!) and closeness to Caesar. Some very big differences, obviously, but it doesn’t surprise me if one person gets unjustly singled out in the court of popular opinion.

nobody trusts Jaime because he’s seen (because he broke his vow) , as untrustworthy.
It’s like that old saw about not marrying the woman who was cheating on her husband with you. If she betrayed him, she’s likely to betray you too.
The same applies to Jaime… Everyone is basically waiting for him to have sex with their wives.

Somebody either here or elsewhere described it that the rebellion was basically a Barriston/Stark rebellion and that the other houses either stayed loyal to Aerys (House Tyrell or sat back and waited before doing something (the Lannisters). Therefore, Jamie is looked down upon because not everybody was on board with what he did
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Feb 14, 2012 11:01 PM PST up reply actions
Definitely part of it was that certain factions (Dorne, the Reach, other loyalists) were against what he did. But then you have the fact that others who were against Aerys nevertheless viewed the killing as cold-blooded/dishonourable. It seems like only Robert really didn’t care because he honestly hated Targaryens to such a degree that he wasn’t bothered by it.

Plus he talked Aryes into opening the gates for the Lannister arm under the pretense that they were allies. That army proceeded to sack King’s Landing. To even take it a step further Jaime kills the king he swore to protect with his life.

Honor is a tangible thing in Westeros
Remember that the Kingsguard was considered to be a sacred institution; a religious trust, in a sense, although the role of faith in Westeros doesn’t seem to be as strong as in the societies on which it was based. Still, people put the white cloak on a pedestal, and even idealized through hindsight as it was, the Kingsguard was something different in the Targaryen’s day.
Jaime’s slaying of Aerys wasn’t just about him turning his cloak, but about the decline of the Kingsguard under Robert. They went from the greatest knights of the realm to, uh, Boros Blount, and Jaime’s dishonorable action was probably seen as a clear symbol of that. There’s a lot of power in the image of Jaime Lannister, one of the youngest men to ever don a white cloak, sitting on the throne of the man he swore his life to with royal blood drawing on his sword.
I mean, absolutely he got a raw deal out of it. But the perception had more power than the reality, and what was perceived was treason from the last man in the world who should be a traitor.
by Lies and Perfidy on Feb 14, 2012 11:11 PM PST up reply actions
But they also knew that he took his vows to protect him, no matter what. And in Westeros, pre-red wedding, vows and traditions are what their world was built on.

You’re right. Your players won’t take a step towards a 50-50 ball so you are at a huge advantage. They rarely make decent runs so you end up having to create something yourself which is really difficult. I managed 5th place in the EPL with Aston Villa after selling basically all the reserves that never play and buying Fellaini, Cissokho, Henry and a few other players.

September 15, 2009
Late last season, the Dodgers started playing Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin’ " before the bottom of the eighth inning every night as a rally song, and Perry leaves before they do.
“I have to,” he said. “I don’t want to hear it.”
Why? Because Perry is a diehard Giants fan who cannot stand the fact that the Dodgers “hijacked it first” and use it to win games.

A good article, thanks again. Though not religious myself (and half-Chinese myself), I can appreciate that he wants to be defined by his faith rather than his race. I wonder how he feels about all those Taiwanese flags that go up at games.

Yep, pretty much, i just think that’s the perfect way to approach the Lin situation and how to view it. It was very well written. That’s a good question… is he Taiwanese or Chinese?
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
A quick scan of wiki
Shows that his parents are from Taiwan, and there’s a mish mash of ethnic Taiwanese and (probably) Han Chinese. But he would probably be classified as Taiwanese American, based on his family moving from there to America.

Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker

Well, I remember him stating before, when the Warriors signed him, that he wants to identify as a Christian, rather than Taiwanese (or Chinese). A religious identity rather than an ethnic or national identity. And clearly, he’s getting that ethnic/national identity pushed on him instead. Which he must’ve expected beforehand, but still seems to be something he doesn’t seek out.
by ohcleverhansyou on Feb 14, 2012 11:06 PM PST up reply actions
Ohhhh ok, i see. And yea, he definitely wants to identify himself as a devout Christian rather than be seen as a ethnic identity…
But for Lin, it’s a story of faith, the beautiful struggle he’s now convinced he can win. Most importantly, it’s a story of how he’ll be completely fine if he doesn’t.

LIN de sujet
Interestingly, the mainland is culturally making a claim on him, too, based on his maternal lineage:
Lin’s stunning success with the Knicks over the last week and a half has captured the imagination of the Chinese, from Communist Party bosses to the often-persecuted Christian minority. He has been particularly popular here in northern Zhejiang province, from which his maternal grandmother fled to Taiwan in the last days of China’s civil war in the late 1940s.
Lin is commonly described in the United States as Taiwanese-American because his parents grew up in Taiwan before moving to the United States, where Lin was born. But mainland China is already starting to claim him as its own, part of an incessant rivalry across the Taiwan Strait.

It was fine to root for City as few as recently as 2007. For the most part, until then, they were the blue-collar, mildly thuggish, David to United’s goliath.

It'll never be cool to root for City.
Back when they were the Cubs of the league, they understandably got only regional support.
Now, if you root for them, you’re immediately subjected to ridicule as a “trophy hunter” or some such. Understandably, as well.
Don’t be a hater, you Gunner fun, you. Supposedly the second half was “crackling” according to the commentator on Soccernet.

From a sheer aesthetic angle, they’re the most enjoyable team to watch and if they’re right now dominating everything (except La Ligua where it looks like Madrid is going to take it), better them than Chelsea or City or Madrid.

i've officially seen too much analysis on Jeremy Lin's game winning shot
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
and lets be honest
if the game was on the line and the ball was in the hands of Rose/Kobe/Dirk (basically any superstar), the defense sure as hell wouldnt just sit back for 10 seconds and wait for the player to attack
pretty much what happened, Calderon was playing WAY off Lin just baiting him to shoot that 3, and what happened? OOPS
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
ESPN was making it sound like Lin was backing the defense down
um no, he was standing at half court for with calderon at the 3 point line for an obscene amount of time
Here is my analysis

Not sure if true, I haven’t checked it myself, but something I heard: His 30 turnovers in his first five starts are also the most by any player since the NBA-ABA merger.
I actually love him, I just thought this was funny.

I would guess he’s up there in shots attempted too. I can’t imagine many players averaging 20 shots per game in their first 5-6 starts.

I don't really know how things are usually done but...
I’m new and I thought I’d put together a quick intro to help everyone judge me faster.
Reasons to hate me: – I’m a newcomer and I ent from round these parts…
- I’ve only really been into baseball a few years, and only had a team for 2 (in other words, I almost randomly selected a team you’d all been waiting to win for half a century, and got immediate results)
-While that may seem like I could be a lucky mascot, every other team I’ve liked says no, I’m not actually. And could I please leave them alone now.
-I’m from england, and we’re all smarmy or something.
-As a scientist, I reserve the right to start any post with “as a scientist…”
-I love prospects, god save me I do. And i will have opinions on them. Lots. And since I have no access to any way to really watch any of them, these will all be completely regurgitated. flawed, worthless and sometimes made up.
-Look at this guy! He makes a list about why he sucks to get attention. What a jerk!
Reasons not to hate me:
-Hey, I’m on your side. We’re all in this together, right?
-Look how long that first list is! That’s got to make me an underdog. And we all love underdogs, right?
-,right?

Mitt Romney was in Monterey on business, and just after he left the hotel an employee accidentally spilled bleach and some chemicals together, which spread through the air vent system. No fatalities.
It could have been bad. Romney is so boring he is constantly leaving masses of sleeping people in is wake. How is one to know if they are knocked out from the chemicals or if it’s the tide of boring that washed over them?
