So Much Depends (posted for Pawlie)
So Much Depends
A William Carlos Williams poem has the line “so much depends.” His famous poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” is just a few lines, but it has been seriously analyzed by scholars and students. someone once told me it referred to the line between life and death. Williams was a doctor. My “someone” said the poem was about rain on the verge of freezing rain, which stood for life and death.
So much depends last night on that AB from Hunter Pence in the seventh inning. So much depends on getting good takes, balls instead of strikes. So much depends on the hit he “muscled” up the middle, just beyond Astros leather.
That was my “so much depends” moment.
What was yours?
So much depends on these September games. And each game is likely to have a “so much depends” moment.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Do any of you think the day will ever come when we don’t see Eli Whiteside or Aubrey Huff in a Giants uni?
Eli and Huff will be alive and lurking in the shadows at ATT long after any nuclear/natural/Mayan Calendar disaster destroys the rest of humanity……..
So True…Lqtm….And Freddy will be their guide in his power wheelchair.
How quick they forget.
Hey, look no further than the pic of you and me in the Flap Photo Bucket to see how quickly we forget….
Making jokes about players has never and should never be off limits to anyone. I mean, if that’s all ya got then you’re just going to be seen as an idiot.
But joking about a player, especially if it’s funny, should be encouraged and celebrated—and that’s FOR EVERYTHING IN LIFE>>>>>>>>>>>>>
But that’s just my opinion and I’m fine with those who see it differently………
I don’t mind the jabs at players; I just ain’t got anything funny to say. What — you think I’m Loo?
Pawlie, you are, without question, THE MAN. Don’t ferggggit it! I don’t expect everyone to laugh at a player joke I just don’t want those who don’t find them funny to judge those who do. And there are judges among us. Judging…..
That’s a judgement call
Could always just make Eli and Huff honorary ball dudes….. of course, Eli wouldn’t stop any foul smashes down the line….
Eli and Huff will be alive and lurking in the shadows at ATT long after any nuclear/natural/Mayan Calendar disaster destroys the rest of humanity……..

Granted.
But please, go ahead and use the word “cockroaches”
Huff will always fondly be remembered for 2010, rightfully so. Unfortunately, he really was done after that, and should’ve probably just retired earlier this year when he had his “problems”. Maybe he’ll contribute with the occasional pinch hit in September, but I doubt it, and I’m thinking this is just a courtesy call for him to take one final bow to the fans. Not exactly fair to lump Freddy with Huff, except when in context of 2010, when he clearly was one of the key contributors to that team. It was only injuries that made 2010 his last hurrah; we’ll never know if he also would’ve been “done” without those injuries, but of course the injuries made it so, too soon, IMO.
great post.
Look, I fucking LOVE Aubrey Huff. If I could fuck him to thank him for 2010, I would do so–at least if I didn’t have to, you know, ACTUALLY fuck him. Ok, maybe I’d let HIM fuck me as long as I didn’t actually get….um….wait a minute….kinda feeling a TedSpe moment coming on…am I actually typing this????
Point me to the delete button….STAT!
The point is….I love Huff. I just don’t want to see him ever take another at bat for us before the end of time clicks it’s last second.
now that is funny
A TedSpe moment??!!!
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
I know. It’s not easy being me. Although that was fucking…well, whatever
The point is you love Huff. (A little much) Not to be…alternative…but I also love what he did for the Giants in 2010. All the bullshit I read about his possible PHD’s…look at his stats. He’s always been a good year/bad year guy. My guess is after every good year he party’s on too much.
That being said…
he’s not a part of the Giants in 2012. He *might*, repeat, *might* have an impact off the bench. But I would rely on him as much as I rely on Gilligan getting me off the island.
Again…a TedSpe moment? Is that a new lexicon?
Loved the Gilligan’s Island episode when the crates of genetically engineering vegetables washed up on the beach. I think it was Mary Ann who ate the carrots, and she could see ships way out on the horizon… way ahead of their time on the genetic engineering thing. Or maybe the veggies had been exposed to radiation, I don’t remember. Hell, I don’t even remember what vegetables I ate for lunch yesterday….
Ted, I enjoy your *bedtime* posts more than you will ever know. Keep ’em coming. It’s a chore to man Flavor Nation 24/7 especially in the wee-est of the hours. But between you, Edd, me and the rest of the crew we cover the darkest minutes wisely (with you guys taking the late night hours and me taking the sunrise)
It’s too bad The Hangman was insane, he could have played a role here–at the very least a graveyard watchman……
Big Flavor. As long as there is a Flap and I am semi-conscience, there will be thorough overwhelming on this, the perfect, Giants Blog.
Excuse me now. My Vietnamese neighbor, Kimi, has begun her exercises.
I have to go get my binoculars
thanks Teddy, you just sent me to bed with an actual out-loud laugh. And I really appreciate that, it has been a shitty fucking week……..
Obviously should’ve read “genetically engineered” veggies…
pedantically it would be genetically modified, in a true scientific rendering of the process.
Just browsed through some of the great photo bucket selections. Man, I forgot about the Jesus sign. Will have to add to my account. Got some pix to send at some point. Also, the pix of Blade at the Marichal statue is, well, cuh-razy. So Cali!
Our dog just threw up three times. Now that is not funny. Except it wasn’t in my room. hahahaha. Why say that here? It has no relevance to anything. Delete it.
I have the power to delete it…I have the permission…I have the hyperbole….
But I won’t
Yeah, Pawlie, I also just went to the photo bucket, great to see those pics. Wish I had some Giants-related pics to share. Someone send me a Giants t-shirt and I’ll get one of my local lovelies to model it for the Flap…..
“Local lovelies.” Me like. Have ’em just wear the shirt. Nothing else. After a monsoon.
See, now THAT is fucking GOLD…….
But of course, Pawlie, that is exactly what I had in mind. Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of beauty in my life, but nothing is finer than a lovely Asian girl just coming out of the shower, freshly scrubbed and scented, hair hanging long and black and wet and sweet smelling, wearing nothing but one of my t-shirts. My life is fulfilled.
Speaking of wood, keep talking . . .
Anyone see the end of the Rays-Jays game? Guy tries to score on sac fly. Boom. Out at plate. Game over. Ouch.
Strangely, I didn’t. And I say strangely because I wouldn’t have even given a fuck if I hadn’t read your book. Which will be the topic of my next thread
Well, me thinks it’s Labor Day weekend in the US… the unofficial end of summer that as a child always came way too quickly, but also the beginning of the home stretch for baseball. Also a long weekend holiday here, their Independence Day (Ho Chi Minh declaring independence from France on Sept. 2nd, ’45). Hope Flapper Nation has a great weekend.
take care, Paul.

You talk the talk, my friend. Now…walk the walk
I used to have a Giants t-shirt, but no longer. I promise, Ted, I will make it happen….. I have the local lovelies, just don’t have the shirt…… 🙂
When you get right down to it…shirts aren’t necessary.
Okay, Okay, that was just wrong.
Seriously, where do we send the shirts, what sizes are required and do they have sisters here in the Bay Area where we can try fittings? Purely for esthetic reasons of course.
Of course the shirts aren’t necessary. Why do you think I say that I have the lovelies, but not the shirt?….. 🙂 But for Flap purposes, well…. One size fits all. The girls as you would likely guess are not large, but the bigger the shirt, the sexier, as it hangs down low enough that they could wear the thing as a dress. And yes, they likely do have sisters or more likely “cousins”, obscurely family related in some way, in the Bay area. Hey, just take a walk down in Little Saigon in San Jose, or out in the Richmond or Sunset, you might even spot ’em wearing a Giants shirt already. That’s your mission should you choose to accept it. Good luck, and good day.
Oh Paul, Paul, Paul. You’ve been away from San Francisco far too long, my friend. We have a “Little Saigon” now in the San Francisco Tenderloin. The Vietnamese community is not just stuck in San Jose although it is still prevelent there. They have been working real hard for the past few years to make the Tenderloin in San Francisco family friendly and allowing the Vietnamese communitty to embrace their love of America along with their remembrence and love of their culture right here. Granted, they haven’t won the battle yet especially at night time but God love them they never give up. As for me? I’m taking my little Vietnamese honey to Yoshi’s in Japantown on the 8th to see Chic Corea and Stanley Jordan. She’s bringing along her super fine friend Rose who I allowed to completely fuck up my 2011 taxes. Yeah, she messed up. But hopefully, I can get a guilt threesome out of it (Oh GOD!. I’m starting to sound like TedSpe)
REVRET!!!!
Goodnight, gentlemen (?)
I’m out early tomorrow, so I posted my shit now.
Sorry to break up the Asian appreciation hour. . . .
Cool. That grants me time to beat Nipper at the first post. But first, an homage to the Asian Appreciation hour…
That fucking mean bitch reminds me of my favorite…lady
I’ll never forget her. And I’ll always love her.

Dodgers lose in 11!
Nady played for Bochy in SD so Twin is very right: his callup was a given.
