If it comes to that, might I recommend you taking advantage of the acoustics and delivering your congratulatory remarks from within the empty hallway that is the Giants' farm system.

The Giants are bad right now but no one sane in the Bay Area is too concerned because: 1. This is the core that won 3 World Series Championships, so you can't blame the Front Office for sticking with them as long as they possibly could. 2. The Giants will be good again, since this team is well run and has plenty of money. The farm system is underrated but lacks impact prospects since they haven't picked in the top half of the draft in some time. They've drafted excellently when they've had early picks (Lincecum, Bumgarner, Posey) and OK when they've had later ones (Panik, Arroyo). 3.

The haters can say what they want about Bonds' achievements being diminished because of the steroids, but the fact is he truly was great at beating his wife.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:The payroll is higher this year than last so who the heck knows! Yeah a lot of the money they spent feels like plausible deniability spending. Like they can say "sure the team sucks but at least we spent money so now time to tear it all down" as if making your big free agent signings J.A. Happ and Kendrys Morales is really going for it.

I kinda like that there's at least a little bit of trash talk. Even the Cubs and Cardinals posters don't fight. I'd talk more poo poo about the Mets but it seems unkind to mock the infirm.

Justin Upton's contract runs through 2021 at $22m/yr but he can opt out this summer. He's 29yo hitting .268/.354/.496 is he likely to opt out? Tigers have the worst record in the AL, might as well trade assets and tank

A fielder with great range will get to more balls but he's not likely to commit errors at a higher rate. e: I can't find Tebow's errors categorized anywhere but having seen him play QB I imagine they're along the lines of "tried to throw out a runner at home but airmailed the ball into the stands"

I just meant in general since I distinctly remember Adam Everett getting dinged for errors on balls that no one else in the league except maybe Vizquel could have gotten to. In the outfield you have to really gently caress up to get an error e: And you also don't get an error for three guys just watching a ball fall in between them

In the outfield you have to really gently caress up to get an error It's definitely a thing for SS, because the hard-to-get-to balls mean they often have to throw either from the hole or from on their knees, and scorers don't seem to take that extra degree of difficulty into consideration if the throw is bad.

Tim Tebow is bad at baseball and there is no excuse the Mets can give for promoting him other then pimping Tebow to sell tickets. I honestly didn't think the Mets would actually follow through with it but we might see Tebow in the majors which is absolutely bonkers.
