When the Giants Signed Gary Carter
by Grant Brisbee on Feb 16, 2012 5:04 PM PST

PrintWhen I was 12, I didn't know that catchers aged like ... like ... large men who had to do deep-knee bends hundreds of times every day for several years while wearing heavy equipment. I just knew that Gary Carter was a catcher and that he was awesome. So when the Giants signed him before the 1990 season, I was a little giddy.
He did just fine for the Giants that year, but he couldn't pitch, so he didn't get to help the Giants back to the World Series. A search through the New York Times archives brings back news of his signing:
''I only called the teams I thought would have a strong possibility of being interested in me,'' he said. ''I didn't call the Giants, because I figured they were set with Terry Kennedy and Kirt Manwaring.''
Carter recalled: ''Al asked (agent) Dick (Moss), 'Is there anything I can do to change your proposal?' When Dick said no, Rosen said, 'I accept.' ''
Now that's some fancy negotiatin'. Giants fans don't have the decade of memories that the people in Montreal do, nor did we watch a stunning World Series victory with him playing a crucial role, but he was still a Giant for a year. Even the fact that he was a Dodger the next year doesn't ruin that.
When you grew up in the '80s as a fan of the National League, you knew that there was Gary Carter at the top of the catcher hierarchy, and then there was everyone else. Rest in peace, Gary.

One of the things I was thinking of doing when I have down time, is finding all my old ticket stubs and then using the innernet to look up the box scores for the games. Up until like 5 years ago I hadn’t realized I’d seen Bobby Bonds play. I wonder who else I don’t remember!

That’d be a pretty cool research project to do, even just keeping note of it as well, putting up a ticket, and writing down the lineup for that game

I was thinking of organizing it in an old photo album… I dunno. Just making lists of stuff right now. But it would be interesting to find out that you saw some dude play as a rookie or something and then he became an all-star.
Ooooh Little Tommy Wingels is back!

That'd be pretty neat
kinda nostalgic. Yea, because heck, if i did that with the games i’ve seen in the past decade or 15 years, there’s definitely players i didn’t know about back then who were good or were becoming good.
Yea! Gotta love Wingels, but dammit sharks

/My young cousin told me he never seen Barry Bonds play. I cried.
I think we had gone to see… uh….somebody… I don’t think it was Hank Aaron, but somebody else and Bobby happened to be in that game.
We did trek over to San Diego once [we were living in Yuma] to see Aaron play.

I printed out the Retrosheet for my first game and confirmed that I saw Bonds and Mays. No McCovey because Mays was playing first that day.
The ticket idea sounds cool. I’ve been planning on making a framed collage of all the Topps Giants cards from my birth year (1962). I’ve got them all, but have started in on getting autographed copies. I got Juan Marichal to sign mine at the pre-ASG event a couple years ago.

It bums me out that I don't have any memories of Gary Carter as a Giant
I was definitely aware of that era; one of my first memories is of the earthquake and being terrified that they’d cancel the World Series. I’m pretty sure that 1990 was when I got Kevin Mitchell’s autograph. But Gary Carter slipped my tiny mind.
Oh well. Dude doesn’t need me to remember him; he’s a goddamn Hall of Famer.

k
i’m just starting the game, i have to go to High Hrothgar to speak with the Greybeards. As i’m going up the steps i encounter 3 wolves, then all the sudden a dragon, i have no way of defeating the dragon because i have just a few weapons and some magic, like fire and electricity, that’s it.
My question is, how the hell do i get past that dragon and the ice troll that are in front of me just to get to High Hrothgar to speak to the Graybeards

1) Don’t attack it head on; try to attack its flank whenever you can. If you have a companion, let them take the brunt of the punishment.
2) If it’s flying around being a dick, shoot its ass if you have any archery skill.
3) If it won’t land, try to find a flatter, more open area. Don’t be shy about using health potions.
I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
that’s probably why i’m losing EVERY time. and yea, i don’t have a companion.
Good point, i never did shoot him with arrows that time.
Yea, it’s landing often, and all i try to do is hide. And good point about health potions, i just need to go and buy more though

There’s almost no reason not to have a companion. Lydia is useable, or you can brawl the chick in the inn in Whiterun.
Also, I don’t think there are any scripted battles on Hrothgar other than an ice troll, so if you aren’t saved during the battle, you could probably just go up another time.

This is why I leave her at home. I don’t want her to die. The housecarl I got in Rifken doesn’t seem as cool, so maybe I’ll take her around. I had a big manly dude I used for a while, but I want to save him for marriage so I asked him to stay in his town for a bit.
I also now have some wizardy guy that I didn’t kill when the voices told me to that I should be able to use when I want to. I need to take him out on a few quests. There have been some when I’ve come up on like 5 necromancers at once, where I totally get my ass kicked.
I’ve started getting pretty okay with dragons. I use some staff thingy from a distance to weaken it, blast it with the appropriate shout (fire for the frost ones, frost for the fire ones) and toss some flames or frost at it when it gets close enough. So far I’ve done pretty okay. But I’m only at level 22, so who knows.
And also, I try to do a bunch of different quests to level up different skills.
I fucking love this game.

I suppose some have property or followers to bring into the marriage. I think whoever you marry will set up some sort of business and generate an income. If your spouse is already a merchant, then maybe you get more $$ from them.

Cats can’t taste sweet flavors – they lack the ability to do so (yay for science fair projects!). It’s more likely that they just think it’s water or, if everything else is frozen and it’s not, they think it’s a viable liquid to drink.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (AGAIN) [now with theme song]

Do they not have bitter receptors? Aren’t most antifreezes spiked with bitterants so that people can’t drink them?
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
I think cats do. In my kid’s experiment, the cat avoided the bitter water consistently. I think many states (incl. California) require a bittering agent be added to the antifreeze; I don’t know if it’s a federal thing.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (AGAIN) [now with theme song]

That’s kind of how my first cat died.

I still can't figure out why Beane
dumped 2 good, cheap pitchers and is paying for an unknown OF.
2012 is going to be awesome!
Not dumped
Traded for really good prospects.
I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
Why?
The A’s weren’t going to compete this year, or next year. By the time they can compete, those pitchers are not going to be good and cheap anymore.
Instead, he acquired players who will be good and cheap when they actually have a chance of making the playoffs.
I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
It’s a high risk, high reward move. He probably won’t produce as desired this year, but if he plays anything like some people project his ceiling to be, the back end of the deal will be production well above what they would be able to afford otherwise.
I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
Except the Sharks have one of the best defenses in the NHL

When my cat [of over 13 years, and the Loma Prieta earthquake] died I volunteered at the animal shelter for about 6 months. When Hidey showed up one week I knew she was the one. I am partial to black cats though, just because, according to shelter stats, darker/black animals are tougher to adopt out.

Thanks Grant
RIP Gary Carter. I am in a pretty somber mood scanning this thread. Whoever posted his last hit, thank you. I pressed the back button and couldn’t find the link again.
Anyways, catchers always have a special place in my heart, since i played one as a kid. It’s a special game, and life is special. It is great to celebrate both at the same time, yet I have a guilty pang for appreciating life from someone else’s death.
There is a life lesson in there somewhere. I guess that is why it takes me out of my day to day thoughts so much, despite no clear idea of what it is I am thinking about. If anyone is actually still reading, have a good night. Tomorrow is Friday, which shall be followed with lots of beer, and then pitchers and catchers report, and the whole baseball news cycle cranks up. It is going to be a great year, I am sure of it!

not unless he drops the ball forwards (a knock-on) or you are able to take it away before he is down. also no blocking in case you haven’t noticed. The ball can also be turned over in the ruck though

Do you have to throw the ball in that peculiar way? Is that a rule?

Also, from Wikipedia about scrums:
A scrum is a way of restarting the game safely and fairly after a minor infringement
That part kind of cracked me up. 8 dudes pushing and shoving each other seems an odd thing to term safe, but what do I know?
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
All passes with the hands have to be laterals, there is a more or less standard way to do it, but you can improvise anyway you want/need to.

Perhaps. I’m going to have to watch a little more before I decide. It does seem a little repetitive in restarting from a ruck/maul where the ball just gets kicked out to the wing repeatedly until someone gets tackled and then that more or less repeats. I’m sure there’s a level of nuance that I’m missing, so we’ll see.

Okay I have a dumb question
Whats the different between an At Bat and a Plate Appearance?
I has twitters https://twitter.com/#!/APR_studios
Walks and sacrifices and such do not count as ‘at-bats’.
The world would have been a better place had this distinction never occured to anyone.
So like, If the batter is up, and its two outs, and the batter has already swung once or twice but then someone gets caught stealing,.. is that an AB or PA?

OT: baseball content
Shawn Payne, OF, San Francisco Giants: Drafted in the 35th round from Georgia Southern, Payne led the Northwest League in OBP on his way to a .306/.431/.394 line, while swiping 21 bases in 27 attempts. He was a good hitter in college, too, and very dangerous on the bases, stealing 76 bases in 81 attempts over the last two years. Let’s see if he can maintain that speed/OBP combination, but I’m puzzled why he lasted until the 35th round.
Isn't he about 23 years old?

I had to have teeth pulled when I was 15 because my baby teeth wouldn’t fall out. (I’m such a freak.) Ice cream helped a lot. The cold helped.

I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
Ice cream solves a lot of problems. Especially for a 6 year old!
Plus, dental anesthesia is ridiculous these days. Best of luck to Doctor Cans.

ffffffffffffff
My dental oddity is inherited from my parents. My mother had her wisdom teeth out at 24, and my father had no wisdom teeth at all (he claims is he more highly evolved than the rest of us). So… still waiting on that particular procedur (lord send me dental insurance).

I never got my wisdom tooth pulled and hope to God it doesn’t ever happen. Sounds awful enough but your desire to whine constantly increases the older you get.

I had mine taken out when I was 22
I was looking at my options and spoke with a friend who had them taken out with just novocaine. He said it was a little weird because you could actually hear the teeth cracking as they took them out, and sorta feel it but not in a pain sense.
NOPE. I went with a place that knocks you out completely through an IV. Best decision ever.
The first six innings are overrated.
As I’m a total wuss, if it ever happens to me, I want to be knocked out completely for at least two days and then given so much vicodin I wouldn’t even know it happened until a week later
by Dingoes Ate My Baby on Feb 17, 2012 10:18 AM PST up reply actions
It was great
I don’t remember anything at all from the procedure and no pain. About 15 minutes after it I was up and insisting that I could drive home, though my inability to walk properly said otherwise. In the days after the vicodin helped but the bigger annoyance was trying to find a way to eat and making sure the clot didnt break.
The first six innings are overrated.
I had no wisdom teeth. Yes, it is a higher form of evolution.

I got to keep mine.
I’m wiser than y’all!
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
My teeth only reluctantly fell out on their own, although I ended up having 4 baby and 4 permanent teeth pulled before I got braces.
Her permanent tooth was coming in behind the baby tooth, which wasn’t even loose yet. Apparently that’s bad.

I’m trying to plan a trip to Japan soon with a friend and my only demand is that we go during baseball season and see a game.
The first six innings are overrated.

I don’t remember what was happening, but I remember that I enjoyed the dream.
And it wasn’t sexual, we were JUST talking.

The secret to dreaming about a specific topic or person is to spend a lot of time thinking about them that day.
Dreams are just your brain’s way of converting short term memory to longterm memory.

Also, you get random stuff added to your dreams for reasons that know one know
Your brain may be using those random things as links to your memories so you can access them later. This is why most people’s memories contain stuff that didn’t actually happen!

So you can spend all day thinking about Nate and end up dreaming about him turning into one of those micro chameleons that were recently discovered in Madagascar before exploding into a torrential downpour of Skittles that all sing the Hallelujah Chorus!

I dream of weird stuff, like I’m still in high school and I can’t remember my locker combination. Knowing me, if I focus all day on Nate, I’ll probably dream of Bochy.
I’ve had a version of that locker combination dream.

I repeatedly had one where I check my finals schedule and see that I have one for a class I never went to that I thought I dropped at the start of the year. It took about 2 years after college for that one to stop popping up.
The first six innings are overrated.
I’m sure others have had that dream too.

I haven't played this yet, is it actually that good?
Brandon Crawford: Yeah, but check out that Defense!
Lars Bet: 1st HoF: Bonds > Clemens
It actually is
The combat system is like DMC or Bayonetta and the leveling system is extremely versatile so you can play whatever class you want at any time. There are sidequests galore (reportedly 200+ hours) and the game is just gorgeous. Skyrim probably looks better but KOA’s gameplay makes Skyrim seem clunky and slow.
