OT: Housing Search

by Andy from DC on Sep 30, 2008 2:24 PM PDT

Hey Folks,

Figured since we're officially done with the 2008 Giants season, people wouldn't mind an OT post. Feel free to delete this if its a nuisance.

Basically, I'm in the market for a 1 bdr apartment in the City, but I'm willing to expand to certain parts of Oakland/Berkley as well. Anyone know of anything, or have any good tips to finding a good place to live? I know of craigslist and all the standards, but thought I'd check on the off chance any of you knew any specifics. Budget is around $1200.

Thanks everyone.

Looks like things might be Pretty OK after all

Down at the bottom - looks like we might have our favorite redneck back in some function or another.

Scott McClain: The Home Run King

After reading this story, I can honestly say I'd like to see him up with the giants.

I don't really have tangible reasons, I'd just love to see him play for us of Castle. Bad idea? Probably, but we're all allowed to have our wacky opinions.

This is pretty f'd

From the Chron today:

"John Bowker might have to put stuffed animals in his trophy case. The man who caught his first big-league homer in San Francisco refused to trade it back. Same with the woman who caught Bowker's first career grand slam Saturday. She told a Nationals official she would have to talk to her lawyer first. ... Randy Winn has hit safely in 31 of his last 36 games."

That's pretty dick. I can understand wanting something more than a bat, like maybe a jersey, but come on. And talking to your lawyer first? Thas fuxored.

Stat Search Question

by Andy from DC on Apr 16, 2008 6:12 PM PDT

Hello Fellow McCoven,

I have been trying to find the average runs scored in support of a picher per start. Unless I'm blind or misreading an abbreviation, I couldn't find it on baseball reference or baseball cube.

I've been engaged in an ongoing discussion with my father regarding the misuse of the W-L record and ERA, especially in regards to Zito. He's agreed to consider things, and has decided that runs scored in support of a pitcher might explain Zito's past success.

Any insights? Thanks,

Ok, this is too funny

Remember Cody Ransom?

"Aside from Betemit and A-Rod, there’s not another person on the Yankees’ active roster who can play shortstop. They could call up rookie Alberto Gonzalez, who is on the team’s 40-man roster, or Cody Ransom, who would require a roster move but bring more experience. Or, of course, they could put A-Rod at short and use Morgan Ensberg, a natural third baseman, to fill in."

Now that would be hilarious to see him starting at SS for the Yanks.
