Assuming you can unglue your eyes from the babe emerging from the sea, as if from nowhere to love you long time, please take a moment to look above her. You should see a *page* to click on. It says “March Week 1 Posts of the Day”. There are six entries for this *week*. Please review them and vote to the corresponding number in the Poll. If you don’t think any of them are better than the current POTW you can vote for #7. As I said earlier, the blogger who gets the most POTW’s gets a $50 gift card to Safeway at the end of the season. $50 plus the adulation and admiration of the Word Wide Flavor Nation should be more than enough……

finally, a BB with a nice smile.
And Burrell goes yard
And Panda steals second
And Phils phall apart in spring training

I wanted to vote for #3 and 4 together.
Today’s BB sure looks like she likes to have FUN and FUN should be had with her.

Happy Mardi Gras Flappers

Baggs was saying today that bengie wasn’t expecting them to throw sliders at him during the WS. why would you throw anything else? That guy will chase those til the cows come home.

Near midnight Tuesday, Saigon — Part 1 in a 3-part post: Anybody remember the Splash (when it wasn’t called the Splash, I don’t know what) back in 2000, through ’02 and the Series? It was fun and fairly knowledgeable for awhile but then got brutal, the insults a-flyin’… Chron finally shut it down for awhile until the Splash reappeared, from what I remember but don’t remember the exact chronology. I wonder if anyone here was there at that time… I remember some of the names… “undiapered monkeys” was one of the more interesting descriptions of what today would be members of Room 2…

Part 2: Ok, so what’s different about BF’s choice of BB today? Ed noticed it: she’s smiling. Yeah, nice bod. Whatever. She’s smiling. That is so key, in just about every aspect of life, as long as it’s a real smile and not a fake smile.

I think it’s one reason I live over here; there seems to me to be more smiling over here, and these are beautiful smiles. My uni just had graduation, and in my speech to these dynamic interesting young people of Vietnam, I told them “Just keep smiling your beautiful smiles, and the world will love you.” And they will, and it will. Craig has seen some of my photos on FaceBook (not my doing, my students post stuff all the time). Miles of smiles. My first experience in a karaoke bar in China about 7 years ago also taught me that: choose the one who’s smiling.

Part 3: Giants ’11 and smiling: Um… I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m feeling good about this team. I remember last spring training, I hadn’t posted here for most of that off-season, after a little diatribe in maybe December that the team should just cut Rowand loose, fuck the money, the money’s gone, others could take his place, etc… As spring training ended, I rejoined conversations here for a bit, and said I felt underwhelmed but also pretty sure that the lineup in September for the stretch drive would be completely different from the lineup that took the field on Opening Day, which would be a good thing, and which others here also felt… Wow, what a masterful job done by Bochy and the TEAM.

This year, not even near the end of spring training yet, other than Cain’s elbow, I think there’s a lot of smiling in Scottsdale and in Giant land around the world…

Happy Shrove Tuesday Flappers. I can just imagine the sins committed by this motley crew. There’d be a line for the confessional a mile around the block. But today is also known as Pancake Day. So bless this Father. I’m going to IHOP.

What I saw during last nights game or it appeared to be that the players are more confident. They know they can win. It doesn’t mean they are going to win every game but they believe they always have a chance.
- zumarust said, on March 8, 2011 at 9:26 am
  
  Yeah- last night was classic Giants these days. Shut-down pitching, and someone up and down the lineup, on any given day, delivering the big hit.
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 9:33 am

Rowand’s injury might delay decisions but I don’t see DeRosa on the bench. I think he’ll capture the LF job. As of now, the call is for he and Fontenot to back up the middle infielders, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change,with Burriss winning a spot. Then it gets down to two of Pat, Aaron, Nate for two OF spots. Pat and Nate are the best choices but they’d have to move or release Rowand. That is why Burrell’s job is hardly safe. It was good to see him go the other way last night- despite the snarkkasm, he helped his cause.
- zumarust said, on March 8, 2011 at 9:44 am
  
  Nate brings more to the table at this point than Rowand. It’s really time for the Giants to just take the plunge and release Rowand. No one will care. It’ll be a one-day story in the Chronicle, and then the team and fans can move on.
  - zumarust said, on March 8, 2011 at 9:46 am
    
    And if Rowand was really a “gamer,” he’d be offering to play all three outfield positions.

  and really he didn’t say that yesterday. He said 3rd best BB.
Macdog said, on March 8, 2011 at 9:58 am

Burrell had more HRs and the same number of RBIs last year than Nate and Rowand combined, in little more than half the season. Add in that he and Huff are like Butch and Sundance in the clubhouse. Unless Burrell’s showing signs of a severe downslide, I just don’t see how he’s in danger of losing a roster spot to either of those two.
- twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 12:06 pm
  
  Some are easily confused, I guess. The team’s willingness or reluctance to eat 12 million dollars is what makes the outfield positions hard to call. And there is a difference between pointing up reality and advocacy.
stixwiz said, on March 8, 2011 at 10:13 am

With the Giants eating a hefty chunk of salary, some other team would go for Rowand, if for no other reason than an occasionally still dangerous 4th or 5th outfielder and threat off the bench. It would seem that Flappers are pretty close to unanimous on seeing him hit the road. Slight trade value plus that payout would beat the hell outta an out and out release.
- Bozo said, on March 8, 2011 at 12:05 pm
  
  Yup stix, I agree with that. Is the Pirates old GM with another team? That guy was always good for one these type trades.
  
  The sad thing is, if they can’t trade Rowand, Nate may be the guy to go. Out of options and has some trade value (can hit some, solid D and is inexpensive). I think Ishi will be staying as a lefty off the bench. And, I still think Fontenot was insurance so he may be part of a Rowand or Nate package.
  With Panda, Tejada, DeRosa and Huff able to play musical positions, you can have someone like Burriss as a defensive, late inning replacement guy.
Unca Chuck said, on March 8, 2011 at 12:06 pm

They’d get a 2nd tier prospect and eat a big wad.

Hey, look at ray Ray. They got Darren Ford out of that deal . . .

Hey Bikini Babe, happy International Women’s Day! We like ’em!
stixwiz said, on March 8, 2011 at 5:20 pm

Yikes! Giants actually lost today. By a whole run. Didn’t score any. Of course it was a pretty light lineup with Buster and Miggy taking days off from those pieces of ash in their hands. The other regulars who did play stroked a hit, anyway.

How bout that pitching, though? Ryan Vogelsong and Dan Runzler both put in some extensive innings for this time of year and each of em is making a good statement for longman/spot-starter. If the Giants don’t give the guy they gave up in the Schmidty trade years ago, some other team is a virtual lock to pick him up. Amazing. He hasn’t been in the Bigs in years. Runzler probably still has an option or two, so my pick would be Ryan, over both Dan and Soup Pan. The latter may well get swept up by some other organization unless he is willing to ride the Fresnobus in hopes that someone gets traded or goes down to injury. Most likely he’ll be wearing a different ML uni.

Darren Ford learned today that theft does not always pay. Actually got hung with a C.S. What next?

Today’s BB is aptly named. After exhaustive research, this appears to be ubiquitous bikini model, gadfly, E channel hostess, Playboy centerfold, 2007 Dancing with the Stars winner, actress and mom of 4, non-bunter, Brooke Burke. Here’s a vid below of a photo shoot. If you’ve got another ID, let’s have it, but I say it’s her. In the BB photo, looks like she’s making a move like Giants fans will after hearing that Rohand is traded… http://tinyurl.com/4uadtl9
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 5:49 pm

you are correct, sir. That is the one and only Brooke Burke. And all I gotta say is………Gimmie.
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:14 pm

From the last thread…

twinfan said, on March 7, 2011 at 8:59 pm (Edit)
Can the snarkasm…as Bochy said, he’s in a competition for thr LF job, as of now he’s losing to DeRosa.One of Nate,Rowand, or Burrell is out.

That’s not what he said. He said Burrell was in a competition for “who would be out there opening day.” He was referring to who would be starting Opening Day, not who would be on the team.

Burrell is going to be on the team. I’ve got no idea if he’s going to be starting on Opening Day, but he’s going to be on the team……
PawlieKokonuts said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:28 pm

Congrats to Mr. Wong, happiest man in the USA as determined by the Times — aside from us baskingest of basking World Champion Giants fans.
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:29 pm

My recollection of what Bochy said is correct ,Baggs reports the same
“There is the added pressure of trying to win an everyday spot. Manager Bruce Bochy said left field remains an open competition, although all signs point to Burrell as the opening-day starter if he is healthy and reasonably productive this spring”..
And I don’t dispute that with a good spring he’ll win the job. Now let’s see if has one. I do not think he has much value off the bench.If he does not get the starting job and Rowand is not moved or DLed , he’s in doo-dah- deep..
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:39 pm

I heard what he said and I can read what Baggs wrote. Neither one of them were talking about him making the team, they were discussing the competition for an every day spot. if your argument is that “If he loses that competition, he’ll have no value as a bench guy and they’ll cut him loose” I can see your point but I respectfully disagree. The Giants would still find value in him as a PH and spot starts vs righties (he hit them better than lefties last year, guys he’s crushed in the past (in the NL that’s a fair number of pitchers) and/or trot him out there for days at a time whenever he gets hot (since he’s a streaky hitter).
BUt they are NOT dropping him before OD. Nate will get traded (bad idea) or Rowand will get traded or released (good idea).
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:46 pm

He sulked and sucked as a DH, hard to imagine his demeanor as a bench player..
look, I WANT him on the team, I just do not concur that’s he a lock.
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 6:56 pm

He sucked because he doesn’t hit American league pitching very well. His performance in the WS backs that up. He knew he was going to Tampa as a DH, I hardly think he got there and starting *sulking* about a job he knew he was getting. AL pitching is different than NL pitching, sometimes guys can hit one and not the other. It happens……
paulinasia said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:14 pm

You’re both right, in a sense, about Burrell. It does seem like he needs to play in the field to hit well, so I would guess they’ll keep him on the team only if they plan on playing him at least a few times a week. Strictly as a pinch-hitter, probably not. I hope he sticks too, but clearly $1m is a lot easier to swallow if they release him than Rowand’s baggage of a salary.
- snarkk said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:19 pm
  
  Who is more valuable to the team, ignoring contracts? Burrell, if he performs offensively. They have plenty of OF substitutes that can cover defensively for either of them were either to be cut, but Burrell has more of the threat in the LU…
paulinasia said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:26 pm

Agree that Burrell is more valuable than Rowand, obviously, if he’s got his swing going. I’m guessing the team will make its decisions based on need, not based on salary, and I do trust them to know what they need…
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:30 pm

Any objective look at what Burrell did as a Giant HAS to appreciate what a bargain this guy is for a million bucks. He had an .883 OPS post all star break. In fact, his OPS by month went:
June: 1.021
July: .596
August: .932
Sept: .864
Oct: .909
Any Gm that would cut THAT type of production because the guy had a shitty spring should be executed. For a million dollars, that type of production is priceless.
Rough Trade said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:33 pm

Granted he had a crap WS. But in limited inter league play (34PA) Burrell hit .333/3hrs/1.078 ops…
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:39 pm

Flavor was one of the first to point out Burrell’s penchant for brutal slumps- weeks at a time. Even in his productive 2008 he hit less than .200 over the last two months. With DeRosa and Huff available for LF, he won’t get the chance for one of those epic suckfests. That’s a lot of the reason he’d be best against LHers only, with Huff aginst RHers, and Ishi or Belt ( or Pablo) at first against the righties…
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:47 pm

I don’t know why Burrell doesn’t hit lefties very well. .213 last year, .202 the year before. I’d rather see him hit against righties, especially righties that he’s murdered in the past. His slumps are balanced against his hot streaks. And no one will ride a guy longer than Bochy to get to a hot streak. He had a horrendous July last year. The rest of his work was top 20 NL outfielder stuff. And he costs ONE MILLION DOLLARS. That’s found money, baby…..
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:52 pm

The million also makes it easier to cut him loose…
He didn’t hit against the NL in postseason play, either. He was an aggregate 6 for 42 in the playoffs. 1 HR 3 RBI 22 K..
Bozo said, on March 8, 2011 at 7:59 pm

I don’t recall Sabes eating a salary unless he truly thought a guy was done (Roberts). Cutting a right handed power bat, either off the bench or starting, who agreed to a hometown contract (Pat)? I don’t recall him doing that. Not being able to rid a bad contract (Rowand) and trading a player (Nate) who’s upside for the team is the same as other teams AND has no options left? Yeah he’s done that in the past (Lewis and Frandsen most recently, yes bad mouthing the team made it easier). With Belt, Neil and Ford, my guess is that Nate is the one on the bubble if Rowand can’t be traded. If they can’t work out a deal by the end of spring and he isn’t toast, I figure Rowand would be traded by mid-year, but Nate would still be gone.

If the Giants really want to get rid of bad contracts (Zito and Rowand) now is the time. They just make it part of the deal for the San Jose rights going to the A’s. Those two guys, the rights to San Jose for $50 mil, maybe 10% of beer sales and a couple of guys Beane doesn’t want. Otherwise, guys without options and/or star power will be gone before bad contracts.
That’s my thought on this anyway.
Flavor said, on March 8, 2011 at 8:02 pm

well, he just about won a post season game by himself until our bullpen unraveled. I don’t think Bochy or Sabean are too concerned with 42 at bats knowing what a streaky hitter he is. Plus, I suspect both those guys love The Bat. I just don’t see them releasing him under any circumstance prior to OD. But this will all play itself out soon enough…….
twinfan said, on March 8, 2011 at 8:04 pm

I hope hits 74 fucking HRs…night all. It went better when I didn’t post much.
- Bozo said, on March 8, 2011 at 8:35 pm
  
  I hope he hits 74 as well. And no, I don’t think it was better when you didn’t post much (dang Twin, I’m disagreeing with you again). I’m turning in as well. Hope you and all of this great Flap Nation had a good Mardi Gras.
  Cheers all.
