Man, I can't believe the Giants re-signed Benji "Base-Path-Clogger" Molina.

Man, I can't believe the Giants re-signed Benji "Base-Path-Clogger" Molina.

Makes perfect sense. Posey is not ready, Whiteside is terrible, and the only reason they didn't sign him before is because he wanted a 3-4 year deal. They're talking now about a 1 year deal, which is awesome. I think we'll see him a lot at the beginning of the season, with Posey slowly taking over. He is also a solid hitter. Last season he was hitting cleanup, but now that Huff and DeRosa are around, he can hit like 5th or 6th, which is where he belongs.

Also, I expect to see Sandoval behind the plate sharing the load, especially with the 2 new infielders and the resigning of Freddy Sanchez and Juan Uribe.

sandoval is pretty good

Yeah. I got something like this recently:

 

[brooklynblunder]

A new professional basketball league boasting rosters made up exclusively of white Americans has its eyes set on Augusta, but the team isn't receiving a warm welcome.
The All-American Basketball Alliance announced in a news release Sunday evening that it intends to start its inaugural season in June and hopes Augusta will be one of 12 cities with a team.
"Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league," the statement said.
Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver, who has publicly expressed his support for minor league teams in the past, said he would not do the same for this team.
"As a sports enthusiast, I have always supported bringing more sporting activities to Augusta," he said. "However, in this instance I could not support in good conscience bringing in a team that did not fit with the spirit of inclusiveness that I, along with many others, have worked so hard to foster in our city."
Clint Bryant, athletic director at Augusta State University, laughed when he heard the news.
"It's so absurd, it's funny, but it gives you an idea of the sickness of our society" he said. "It shows you what lengths people will go to just to be mean-spirited. I think at any basketball level, no matter if it's all black, all white, all Hispanic, all Asian or anyone else, the players should just be a basketball team."
Don "Moose" Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA, said the reasoning behind the league's roster restrictions is not racism.
"There's nothing hatred about what we're doing," he said. "I don't hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like."
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color." He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas' indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans' dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.
"Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction."
The Atlanta-based league, which will operate as a single-entity owning all of its teams, is looking for local contacts to pay $10,000 to become a "licensee" in one of 12 cities throughout the Southeast. Lewis said he has already received threats from people opposed to the roster restrictions and several cities have told him to stay out of town. Lewis said he has yet to hear from any one in Augusta.
"We need a local person ingrained into the community to make this successful," he said.
Lewis said he expects to eventually find support in every town with a team.
"People will come out and support a product they can identify with. I'm the spoken minority right now, but if people will give us a chance, it'll work... The white game of basketball, which is essentially a fundamental game, works."
Lewis said he wasn't sure where the team will play.
Augusta has had problems with minor league basketball teams in the past, but the issues never centered around race. The Augusta Drive lasted less than a month before folding in 1995, citing financial reasons. The Augusta Groove made it through a full, 20-game schedule in 2009, but accusations from players and local businesses that the team wasn't paying its bills surrounded the team during the second half of the season. The team later shut down in the offseason.

Yeah, but Molina can't score from second on a single, and he can't score from third on a sac-fly.

Makes a huge difference when you finish 5 games out of the playoffs and lost 9 games by a score of 2-1.

Yeah, that's an issue, but IMO it's a minor one, especially for a guy hitting 5th or 6th in the lineup. The offense has already been significantly upgraded from last season, and as you said, scoring one or two more runs last season would have been good for at least another 5, probably 10 wins.

The benefit is that you get a veteran catcher to teach your up-and-coming prospect. I'm sure that's the #1 reason the Giants did it.

 

[JJMrK]

Pretty sure the polls just closed for the MA senate election. Regardless of your political affiliations, this should be interesting.

VERY interesting.

I've been waiting on pins and needles all day.

 

[JJMrK]

Are you a Giants fan, guyski?

 

[guyski79]

See... I don't know.

I've never really had a baseball team. I grew up in the middle of nowhere. I'm a bit of a baseball virgin.

But I listen to sports radio all the time in my car, so during the summer it's always Giants games and Giants commentary.

I do follow the team, I've gone to a handful of games over the past few years, but I wouldn't call myself a fan, especially since I'll be leaving in the next 6 months. That's when my radio connection to this team will end.

[JJMrK]

Frantic over the possibility that a Democrat might lose the race to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, the Democratic National Committee has sent its top spinner, Hari Sevugan, to the aid of Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, who appears to be rapidly losing ground to Republican Scott Brown. But what can Sevugan do to shore up Coakley's struggling campaign? Well, he spent his first day on the job trying to tie Brown to Sarah Palin.
Early Monday afternoon, Sevugan sent out an email to reporters featuring a link to a story on the lefty website TPM. The headline: "Is Sarah Palin Avoiding Mass Senate Race?" The story quoted a Democratic strategist saying that "it's interesting" that Palin is "nowhere to be found in this race." TPM conceded that GOP sources say there has been "no talk" about Palin visiting Massachusetts. But that didn't stop Sevugan, who is quoted declaring that Palin's supporters "are anxious for her to weigh in." At the top of his email to journalists, Sevugan wrote, "Come on, Sarah, why are you being so shy?"
A couple of hours later, Sevugan was emailing again, with a message entitled, "Has the Pit Bull lost her bark?" What followed was a statement from Sevugan on "the surprising silence from Sarah Palin on Republican Scott Brown's bid for the U.S. Senate." Sevugan demanded to know: "Where on earth is Sarah Palin herself? Clearly her supporters are anxious for her to weigh in."
Not long after that, Sevugan sent out another email to reporters, this one with a link to a post by TPM alumnus Greg Sargent, who now writes a lefty blog for the Washington Post. Sargent's post featured Sevugan's question with the headline, "Dems on Palin: 'Has the Pit Bull Lost Her Bark?'"
Finally, when a Brown spokesman, while not specifically mentioning Palin, said that "Scott is not looking for a lot of outside help" and that the race would not be determined by outsiders, Sevugan sent out yet another email to reporters, this one headlined "Weaselly." Sevugan directed journalists to his response to the "blatant dodge by the Scott Brown campaign on the issue of whether he is seeking and/or if he would accept an endorsement from Sarah Palin." Sevugan quoted himself challenging Brown: "That's a weaselly answer. And the people of Massachusetts deserve more than weaselly answers from their next senator…It's a yes or no question, Scott Brown -- Will you accept Sarah Palin's endorsement or won't you?"
Of course, Sevugan never had any evidence at all that Palin was set to endorse Brown and come to Massachusetts to campaign for him, or that Brown was seeking Palin's endorsement or help. It was just all in a day's work, trying to breathe life into a faltering campaign. What will Sevugan think of next?

I just bought my guitar finally. Do you guys think I can teach myself guitar with a book, like Dummy's or something? I played piano for years so I can read music. I inquired about lessons but it's like $100 for 2 hours, too crazy expensive.

You can do fairly well with a book, but it's good to get a lesson from a real person when you're that new. Find somebody at your school that knows how to play, I'm sure someone will be willing to teach you stuff.

Skipping all the baseball talk...

Hooray for 2.5 hour naps!

I don't mind the morning guys, but you're right about DB. He's the only one who tells it like it is. I'm really annoyed by Fitz and Brooks, because Fitz will not admit that the Warriors have problems (since he's their TV announcer). I like the Razor and Mr T, even though Ralph takes forever to say what he's going to say.

I'm already getting the hang of this. I figured out E, F, and G. Now onto other notes.😀

 

[metallica81788]

The two Bio classes I attended today (I have to take one for graduation) have really in-depth papers and don't sound horribly interesting. I am not in the mindset to take a time-involved, difficult class in my last semester.

I can try to find another one but it will alter my schedule. I'm on a waitlist for Microbial Physiology or I could schedule Virology (but it's at 7:30am Tu Th 😱). Should I just suck it up and do Virology (which I would like), try to get into Microbial Phys, or stick with one of the paper classes and not get to take a cool Dinosaur/Extinction elective?

 

[metallica81788]

I'm already getting the hang of this. I figured out E, F, and G. Now onto other notes.😀

Another thing I forgot about teaching yourself guitar is that the smarter people generally do a lot better.

Most people that I know who have tried to teach themselves haven't been the brightest crayons in the box and didn't turn out too well or gave up.

 

[JJMrK]

I'm already getting the hang of this. I figured out E, F, and G. Now onto other notes.😀

I had trouble with some chords pressing down hard enough on all of the strings. Pluck each string individually and see if they still sound clear to be sure you're holding down what you need to hold down and not touching strings you aren't supposed to touch.

[metallica81788]

It's so nice once you learn your main chords and can move on to other stuff.

One thing I used to teach people who had been playing for a little bit was how to sound faster than you actually are.

 

[CielloStelatto]

yay guitar!! i taught myself a while back. i'm not amazing, but i can play well enough. just stick with it, it's fun!... but then i always get busy with classes/work/biking, etc.. and lose my callouses and then it hurts again for awhile.

See, I'm weird - I've been playing for over 8 years and never got callouses on my fingers. In fact, my fingertips are extremely/unusually smooth, even on my left hand.

I sort of got stuck at transitioning quickly from one chord to another. Really what happened is I got busy and stopped practicing, but that's where I was.

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but that means a potential setback to Obamacare, hopefully no health care reform passes, and thus good for us future doctors, right?

I'm thrilled about this. I would be so happy if they scrapped both bills and started from scratch. Or at least did some massive revising of the current ones.

 

[ksmi117]

First day of school was a success I'd say. Choir was fun. 🙂

 

[SteinUmStein]

To those who are opposed to any and all healthcare reform measures: Really? Do you think the current system is sustainable? Are we serving the best interests of patients with the status quo?

At the end of the day, it's not all about the paycheck. Sorry if I sound idealistic, but money is not everything. It really isn't.

I think there are very few people who are opposed to "any and all" kinds of healthcare reform measures. Feeling that the healthcare currently proposed has major issues that should be worked out before we pass something just for the point of passing something does not imply that the opponents think the status quo is all rainbows and sunshine.

Honestly, I'm glad nobody has a supermajority. Maybe now the parties will have to actually sit down and work something out that makes sense for both sides. Let's evaluate this carefully and get something that makes sense longterm.

My first day sucked. I hate both of the classes I was trying to choose one from. 🙁

Wish this were possible... would make this whole mess a lot easier and more effective in the long run, as far as creating a health care bill that actually works.

Sadly, Brown winning just means a.) health care reform dies on the table or b.) a version of the Senate bill is forced down the throats of Congress and passed ASAP. Dems haven't given up yet, and the resulting bill could be even worse and/or rushed.

Yeah I saw that. Too bad it ended up 2-7. I lost FG% by .002, FT% by .028, blocks by 2, turnovers by 1. Could have swung to 6-3 pretty easily. As for Gilbert Arenas: .

 

[DrYoda]

I doubt that'll happen. Obama's already looking bad for not delivering on his campaign promises (why people were expecting him to is beyond me, no politican does) it would look so bad to not pass anything that I bet they'll pass something. It just might not be on the gargantuan scale that some people were expecting it to be.

Speaking of fantasy bball, Brooklyn is slaughtering me right now. I don't get it. I'm on a serious winning streak after losing my first 2.

I think it's that all my players play on one day, then only one plays the next day. Luckily that ends soon.

 

[brooklynblunder]

i havent even logged into fantasy for 3 weeks now

anywho, we just watched Orphan tonight, it was a good scary uncomfortable movie

It's that way for everyone, though. If you have a lot of players playing on one day, it's probably cuz the NBA has a lot of teams playing that night; same for if you don't have many players playing, it's probably cuz it's a slow night in the NBA. Friday and Saturday are always big nights because those are the "date night" games so they always have a lot of games those days. Thursday always only has 2-3 games because TNT has exclusive rights that night so usually only the games they want to cover are on that night. All the other nights are kind of random and in the middle. There are predictable cycles.

I think dingy's gonna beat me because I forgot that there were afternoon games yesterday because of the holiday and so I missed out on playing two of my guys 😡

not really. the system is unsustainable right now. unfortunately, I think this guy will help the Republicans further strip down any chance of good reform. it's crap reform right now, but it'll just get worse now.

if Australia and France can pull it off I think America can too. oh wait remember when we tried the metric system? 🙄

it's just America being America again...we have to do it our own way no matter what...
