What the !#%%&!@?>>?! Is The Monty Show?
I tuned in to KNBR on my way to work this morning expecting to hear Murph and Mac doing their show from Hawaii but instead I had to listen to someone named “Monty” who apparently has a *show*. At first I thought it was some syndicated thing acting as a plug- in for Murph and Mac who are probably on their way home.
But then he interviewed Krukow so it’s obviously a local guy. Has anyone ever heard him?
He can’t stop name dropping his show and he shouted out his twitter handle twice in a 15 minute span. He was very deliberately talking to the listeners about the 5th starter hole and he was doing it in a way that felt like he was educating us, like we haven’t ever thought about the possibilities of Voggy’s replacement. It was hilarious.
I am a big Jim Kozimor fan and don’t understand why he doesn’t get a regular show on KNBR. He’s witty, funny, seems to understand sports across the board….Maybe he’s in Hawaii with everyone else?
The Monty Show needs to be hit high and deep to left…..outtttaaa hereeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I have heard this guy a couple of times. He seems to pick-up a broadcast here and there. Maybe with it being Memorial Day this weekend, Murph and Mac are enjoying and extended weekend. Anyway, yeah…I have not been impressed with this dildo. Come on KNBR…you can do a hell of a lot better than that.
Went back to read the late comments on yesterday’s thread. Regarding Kickham, here’s his final line from last night in a 4-1 Griz win:
6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K.
YTD: 3-4, 10 games, 10 started, 54 IP, 58 H, 32 R, 26 ER, 4 HR, 22 BB, 54 Ks, 4.33 ERA, 1.48 WHIP.
I hope (like most here) that they bring the kid up and see what he’s got. (I prefer to see Gaudin in the pen.)
Also had seen the article that Chico shared on Donnie TT. Well, if he is not trying to get his ass canned (Michael said he had heard that somewhere), this sure won’t hurt the cause, but I do feel all of his venting is justified.
All of that talent and the Bums absolutely fricking SUCK. I just love seeing them in the cellar.
Would be shocked if the kid doesn’t get the call up now. But maybe they think he still has a hole in his delivery. 😉
I don’t like Kozimor at all, different strokes, no biggie.But he’s with Comcast, isn’t he? Why would he get a KNBR show?
As to the 5th starter, it would seem to be down to Gaudin and Kickham, with Loux getting rocked Wednesday night. You have to like “Keecky” (that’s for Chuckie) because you know that he and Loux had to think their outings might determine who went up. And the kid had a good outing. If Mike does come up, who goes down? If it’s a pitcher, Kontos is suddenly vulnerable, Machi has moved ahead of him. It’s George or Rosario, IMO. If they keep 13 pitcher. does Pill go back down yet again? Could there be multiple moves? Some Friday morning tidbits to chew on if you’re out of Danish..
He’s done several fill-in Knbr shows (usually in Saturday).
I’m not a huge Kozimor fan, either.
If Kickham comes up, I would think it would be Rosario who goes down (although George has certainly struggled in his last four or so outings). With the off day yesterday, the pen should be in good shape, so my guess is Bochy would prefer the extra player on the bench, but hell, Pill could get sent down yet again. I just finished my breakfast burrito, but I’m still a bit hungry, so will continue to chew on this for now.
Congrats to Rags on his induction into the Bay Area Sports HOF yesterday.
If Mattingly gets canned would Raggs try to get his old buddy a gig on the sf bench?
Flav, I think Mattingly comes out of this smelling like a rose and gets another managerial gig sometime down the road. “Meh” regarding him taking a coaching job . . . After the circus in LA, he’ll want a break.
I just read this in a FL article, “If you’d rather wait for the next big-name pitching prospect to get the call, maybe Zack Wheeler is of interest. According to the New York Post, Wheeler will likely join the Mets after 2-3 more Triple-A starts. Wheeler opened the year as MLB.com’s No. 8 prospect; he was the jewel of the Carlos Beltran trade back in July of 2011. His 3.91 ERA isn’t anything special (even in the PCL), but note the 49 strikeouts in 48.1 innings. He’s going to miss bats at any level, and the NL East is the most pitcher-friendly division in baseball this year.”
Beltran may continue to haunt us.
Insofar as what to do about the hole in our rotation (Voggie), the Giants have three off days in the first third of June, so there’s no urgency to figure this out immediately. Giving credit where credit is due – I believe Z said this as well.
Kozimor’s cool. Compared to Papa and the rest of those clowns, he’s fucking Curt Gowdy. I met him on a flight to Houston around ’06 when the Sac chick b-ball team was playing the Houston Bitches in the WNBA finals.
Shout out to my daughter for graduating tomorrow from St. Mary’s. Woo hoo!
Wait. How old am I???
Congrats, Chuck! My wife and I just have a few dogs and cats, so I can’t really fully imagine the hard work involved in raising kids. All you Flappers that are parents- bravo to you! It’s a great thing you do and have done!
I remember when we exchanged comments about our kids starting school, way back in the day when Fred Lewis defended left field in his very special way. Will be heading down to Bruin land for my daughter’s graduation in 2 weeks. Four very short years . . . .
Yep, congrats to YOU and your daughter. St. Mary’s is not the cheapest gig in town…
Jeremy Affeldt on seeing Melky for the first time since he ran away and hid last year:
Does this sort of attitude among the players mean that steroid are still VERY VERY prevalent in the locker rooms? I’d say yes.
Let’s see.
Melky:
I do testosterone and/or HGH, my performance goes up, if nobody finds out, I get a huge, LT deal in the scores of millions, then next season I stop doing the crap and collect my checks, laughing.
Or, I do the stuff, I get caught, lose 50 games of payroll on a chump deal, but then I get a 2 year sweet deal for $16 million anyway.
Colon:
I get caught, Billy Beane says “whatever”, I do my 50 games, he gives me $3 million next year for my broken down arm.
Why wouldn’t PEDs still be very prevalent?…
Speaking of radio, I have satellite XM radio now, and it’s pretty cool to have the choice of all the games on radio while driving, but a lot of the call-in sports shows just aren’t all that good. And it seems like half the callers sound like Joe Pesci for some reason.
Lots of great choices for music channels, and other stuff, too.
And lots of good CDs released this year. 4 of my favorites are Emmylou Harris’s and Rodney Crowell’s duet album, Patty Griffin’s new one, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks released her first solo album, and Steve Earle’s new one is very good, also.
Steve Earle’s amazing–year after year. How many great road and highway songs has he written and recorded? 50? 100?
Steve Earle played Nottingham monday last.
great music
Monty is the shortening of the dude’s last name. He’s a recent addition to KNBR doing the intra-hour sports score updates. And, a cheap fill in when the crew is short. Cumulus doesn’t spend a lot of money, so this is what you get on sportstalk. Kozimor? Ugh. Sounds like a guy on two cans of Red Bull, shooting out all sorts of stuff to see if anything sticks. And, KNBR is now on CBS Sportsradionet, marginally better IMO than ESPN. At night, after 10 they have that dude Ferrall on CBS, he was out here in SF local radio for a while some years ago. Has a voice like razor blades, Barbieri’s voice is like Barry White’s compared to this guy’s pipes. 30 seconds and I have to turn it off, else a gag reflex starts…
Kozimor has this schtick where he leans forward probingly like he’s he’s just asked for the secret of the Sphinx and expects the Warrior girl to have the answer…
Feel good story of the season so far:
Pirates at 29-18, near the top of the Central…
In another category of something or other- Cleveland holding a small lead in first place (it won’t last), and Francona leading his team into Fenway Park last night and winning the game 12-3. That had to be a SWEET evening for Francona last night, although he would never admit it publicly.
And Scott Barnes, sent to the Indians for Fartko, gets a nice cheap save..
I have a been out of the loop on the blog…has there been any talk of trying to sign Pence to an extension? May be wiser than letting the free market play out? Would 4 years at $48 mill be in the ballpark? Seems like a good deal to me. If he wants 5 years, than we chop a $1 mill a year and go 5 years $55 mill??? Peace Giant Head out…
IMO it’s way early to even consider extending him .
Speaking of highway songs, one of my all-time faves:

Thanks, Snarkk. Luckily my daughter got a pretty good portion of her tuition paid by the school.
Congrats, James. My daughter’s best friend is graduating from UCLA as well.
Is it Dawg whose son is graduating from SF State? I’m having a senior moment.
Congratulations to both of you (James) for raising outstanding people . . . This ball is going to need both of them to get us out of the shit this and previous generations got us into.
Thanks, Blade. Unlike her old man, a lazy sod who wants simply to vote and see big government remedy the world’s evils, she’s well on her way to being a genuine, hard working do-gooder.
Well done to you and the Mrs.
I always vote, but have never been active in politics, protests, etc. (albeit, I volunteer quite a bit in many areas). I was inspired by Obama in ’08 and was so jacked up for change, that I volunteered for his campaign . . . Then I was disappointed when I perceived him caving into the Republicans. In short, I didn’t volunteer for his election this time around, but voted for him. You think the fucker would learn, i.e., he lost his one trump card, taxes (he caved and compromised on that issue) and that’s why IMO he is in deep do do right now with these fake scandals (again, my opinion that they are fake). Essentially, he has to stop kissing the opposition’s ass.
If we get another dumb ass in the White House, I might go on a longer RTW trip next time. 🙂
Blade, New Zealand looks good to me…
Why is that? Are you and the Snarkkettes thinking about going there? You would love it and renting a car is not stressful, like in other countries. Go for it.
I’m talking about retiring there…
Wow. Seriously? When?
Although I’m looking forward to seeing Kickham at some point (Kick some ham man), I still think a right hander will get the call. In which case I’m hoping for Heston. Will Abreu be replacing Noonan as well? If Pill goes back down does he get the nickname yo-yo?
Congrats to all of you with the former ankle biters ready to go forth into our crazy world. Looking at the tragedies that have befallen us in recent times, what strikes me are who the heroes and especially the heroines have been- the teachers and educators who have shielded children from harm and often given their lives to save the young ones. Maybe some of yours will choose to be educators, there’s no better callling. But whatever the path they choose, I’m sure they’ll make you proud. Congratulations for helping them through the forest…
They already have. Thanks, Twin.
Obama turned out to be just like the rest. Catering to the status quo. I think he tried in the beginning, but his own party was scared of its own shadow and thus wouldn’t even support him when they had the super majority. They got their fucking asses kicked in the mid-term elections anyway. Morons.
The one thing you have to give the republicans is they (used to) march to the party line come hell or high water. Now they are fractured amidst the teabaggers and old guard. Fox News ended up fucking over the party it was trying to help by throwing its media might at the tea party. Now they are barely a regional party. Fragmented and looking more racist and out of touch all the time.
All politics is a joke now. George Carlin was right.
The GOP is now a party of anarchists. They don’t want to govern…
Well put, grad-dad, there was good promise in an Obama presidency – smothered under the control of the status quo and the dysfunctional weightiness of the system. I say let the youth sort it out, they show amazing energy unfettered by the ideals and beliefs of the past while having a fresh view of cause and effect.

It sounds like quite a few of you don’t follow other teams and players . . . All cool. However, for the fantasy league guys, I am really cracking up (and disappointed) with regard to Mike Moustakas this season. This kid has been labeled can’t miss his entire career. This season, Moustakas, who hit .242 last year, lowered his strikeout rate and raised his walk rate. The result? A .180 batting average, .561 OPS, and the wrath of many a Fantasy owner, including myself. I had him in two leagues and dropped him from both.
I love this excerpt from a CBS article . . . “His performance does have a silver lining, as it eventually led to an awesome Ned Yost rant in response to questions about Moustakas’ job, which included the epic line, “Maybe when we get home, I can go to the third base tree and pick another third baseman.” 🙂
I’ve never owned Mouse, never really wanted him.
I was a BIG Hosmer fan going into the year, own him on 3 teams. And yet he continues to do nothing……
I had Hosmer on one of my teams this year too and just like last year, he disappointed. In fact, the entire KC farm system is outstanding, but it seems like that’s where they go to die once they make the club.
Flav, do you have A. Sanchez in any of your leagues? I have him in one league. He has finally lived up to his potential this year. In fact, he is bitch slapping the Twins as we speak.
yes, I have him in my *other* NFBC league. he’s one of the reasons I like that team a little better than the one that’s in first place. It’s a long season, my ultimate preferred team will shake out by the end of the year.
Alex Sanabia didn’t know it was illegal to spit on the ball. Says it was the first time he’d ever done it.
I’ll tell ya, the excuses are getting dumber and dumber as the years go on.
I’d hardly call Obama “just like all the rest”, IMO he’s suffered the reverse of what the Republicans do now- a vision that has national appeal in the general elections but dies in the primaries. The conservative Democrats bailed on him when the party had the majority and now the left wing of the party is pissed that he’s tried to reach across the aisle.Sometimes lost in the euphoria of the 2008 victories was that the House was conservative even though the Demopcrats had the majority.The fucking shame is that the IRS just didn’t just delay tax exempt status to those scam outfits but that they didn’t tax their asses into the Boston harbor.I consider Tea Party people and their advocates to be traitors as their only goal to destroy our government from within. And many of these bogus organizations out to ” make America a better place” are getting a free ride to do it (destroy government) ..
Who are the Flappers who don’t follow other teams and players and where does that comment come from ? Serious question, I really don’t see anything that would prompt the remark..
I meant it in the context of fantasy league. Do us a favor Mike, stop dissecting every line that people write. You already have driven away Dirt and Stix (which frankly, pisses me off). My comment was for people that play fantasy or whoever follows other teams – to try to start something is wrong, since I definitely didn’t mean it the way you twisted it.
You need to be more clear when you post. And you’ve been a jerk to others since your return, not just me. Don’t even start on on Dirt and Stick-you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Dirt’s still around, just busy. And Stix wandered off into the wilderness I think. I got a couple of very weird emails from him a year ago
“It sounds like quite a few of you don’t follow other teams and players . . . All cool. However, for the fantasy league guys, I am really cracking up (and disappointed) with regard to Mike Moustakas this season.” You address felllow FL players after the remark about people not following other teams and players. The comments seem unrelated .I wasn’t trying to “start” anything. Considering how you worded it, it was a reasonable question.
Craig- Stix and I disagreed on Bochy- he’s become a total “Bonehead” guy.But if he’s said I drove him off, he’s full of snowballs. He had a problem with the computer he won. Being a self confessed PC dummy, he could’nt resolve it or even explain what was wrong- so I had him return it. Other than being cosmetically damaged because he didn’t pack it properly, there was nothing wrong with it. But I built him a new one anyway. Then he said there was something with that one. So I sent him a check to cover shipping ( which he never cashed) and offered to send him something else, a laptop, whatever- something he might be able to understand ( he was a Apple guy). Since then I haven’t heard anything. As even Steve will admit, I will help with any problems ( which I have ZERO obligation to do) .
Anyway, Stix has no legit bone to pick with me. Neither does Steve or anyone else.
Stix never said anything about you to me. He rambled on about weird shit in a few emails and that was the last I heard of him.
Stick migrated to the Merc blog, where trashing Bochy is more prevalent than here.
Meanwhile on that 5th starter decision, the club said that a decision will be reached by Sunday. Even with the days off forthcoming, they do need one. Gaudin could fill that role but they seem reticent to go that way, particularly with Casilla now out for a lengthy period. There are several ways they can go but Kickham remains one of the options.
Just back from the Megabus to and from NYC ($59.80 r/t) to sue Digitature LLC for $848+ in royalties from BASEBALL’S STARRY NIGHT. They did not appear; I won a judgment. It was like “Night Court.” Afterward, on the spur of the moment, I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was a “thrill.” I called Flavor (Magnus) from the bridge. Or maybe I just texted.
Didn’t take my laptop with me on the trip. I don’t have a smartphone, or at least not on connected to the Internet. I felt — slightly empty, but FREE. Even in court, people were told to shut phones but there they were, sliding and thumbing, ostensibly mostly Facebook.
Catching up on yesterday’s thread: Of course, Willie Mays was the Giant I missed most. I was glad he went to the Mets. At least it made sense sentimentally. I’ve never reflected on this — and need to add it to the book in progress — but I actually got to see Mays more when he was traded. Still, it was a sad ending. Flavor’s horse analogy proves helpful for me in that regard.
And why are they saying Casilla will be out a long time?
(For the record, I applaud Twin’s 5:23pm post. The IRS story is being presented only one way, and the administration has caved to that angle. The IRS was actually doing something Congress mandated it to do, and before I know more [unlike john Boehner] I cannot form a conclusion, certainly not enough to condemn it outright.)
They think Casilla will need surgery, Pawlie.
Man, I’m exhausted tonight. I really was hoping the Giants would put up a 10 spot in the first inning so I could just go to bed.
Hang in there, Clown. If you go down, the entire east coast Flap representation could fall soon after. The balance of power between Flappers and espn cannot be disturbed.
Stay strong!
Here, but maybe not much longer. [I know, I say that anyway all the time.]
Bleeeh. Woulda been nice to see Timmy pitch through the mispay by Scoots. But alas, Yorick, no such fucking luck.
Nice to see a fucking squib go our way for a change. Let’s hope it means something.
With Lincecum, a good chance they will be behind early. Half of his starts he’s given up 3 runs or more by the 3rd.
Thus, he’s given up 21 of his 30 runs in the first 3 innings.
Now 23/32
Flav, you mentioned how much you like Josh Rutledge and for the life of me, I couldn’t remember who the hell this kid was . . . Fast forward watching a couple of Rockies games since I got back from my trip, it hit me that this was the rookie they brought up last year when Tulo got injured. He played well last year and was doing relatively well this year as well.
However, 2nd isn’t his natural position and he was sent down earlier this week because he was poor defensively at second base – four errors since April 24 and issues with his footwork on double plays – where this other kid, LeMahieu did his best work for the Rockies last year. Rutledge will be back eventually, but the fact that the Rocks are playing well, meant he was going to get a wake-up call and a venue to improve out of the spotlight’s glare, i.e., Triple A.
Yes, he was one of my few misfires this year. I’m keeping him in the NFBC, he’ll be back.
Arenado is also a guy I think is gonna go off for Col. We’ll see, he could follow in Rut’s footsteps
Oh, he’ll be back . . . book it. Rockies would have let him learn on the job, except that they are in the middle of a division race (which they didn’t expect, nor I). In any event, he is someone to stash on your FL team if you have room, especially since 2nd base in FL leagues are hard to fill positions.
Well, Rut was scoring a lot of runs, on pace for about 15hr/15sb for the year. That’s fantastic for a second baseman.
But his ba sucked as did his obp.
He’s a good hitter, his defense is suspect, I hope he comes back soon
Great/It’ll be 3-0 soon.
Timmy can’t pitch through anything.
I agree he gets rattled by bad D and other things but that wasn’t a bad pitch that Helton hit. Shit, he stands about 5 feet off the plate I’m not even sure how he reaches outside pitches lol
And there you go.
Can’t hit this fucking Chatwood guy again either.
If Blue is going to call those pitches at the shoe laces strikes, it’s going to be a long night.
“It’s gonna be a long night…”
Fuck yeah it is Bozo, fuck yeah. The east coast block is safe for another night…
🙂
No shit. Pence had 5 balls thrown to him.
Well, if the Sherpas beat us more than one game this weekend,. I’m jumping off K2. Goodnight.
At some point this yr, or maybe at the end of it, you’ll find 5 or 6 teams that would be better candidates to dominate the Sherpa league than the Rox
We’ll se how it works out at the end of the year when the predictions count.
Seriously, if you can’t find 5 or 6 teams worse than Colorado you are just being stubborn. And that would be the BEST you could look on this
I never said that there weren’t worse teams than the Rockies, Flavor. Never, Never ever.
The reference to jumping was that I’d have put up with your gloating if they won a series from us away from their mountain lair..
Unless you want to start listing off worse teams that would dominate worse leagues than the Sherpa’s are playing in, and you should if you want to save yourself, it was clear that you were calling the Rox the worst in MLB.
But it’s cool, go ahead. What leagues would Miami and Chicago win?
Bullshit. Only Steverino put them witth your worst list. Harass him. I don’t even know what your’re talking about witlh the rest of your nonsense. I don’t have to “save myself” from anything. .
Haha, you’ve got no idea how much saving you’ve got to do.
Nighty night Twin
WTF does that mean? You are the number one abuser of your own rules. You’ve harassed me about my opinion of the Rockies for weeks now. Can it.
In fairness to Tim, he should have gotten a strike 3 call on Fowler.
Must score 1 run in bottom of 5th….to keep me up.
I hear ya and I’m on PST.
G’night, girls.
Take care Kokonuts
Fucking hell.
The Giants should be hammering this chump. Tyler Chatwood sucks. Copious amounts.
Too late now . . . Rocks replaced their 75 pitch limit with a 90-100 pitch limit (seriously). It was a compromise after Tracy left and as a parting shot, publicized the lunacy of the 75 pitch limit. I think Chatwood got 88 pitches. Garland, one of their pitchers – has complained about it, but apparently was told to put a sock in it and hasn’t complained since.
No, Kruk, a walk isn’t a fucking rally. A run is a fucking rally.
That dude in the spaceship lives right across McCovey cove from Blanco.
Maybe I’m just in a shitty mood all of a sudden, but Kruk’s blather is pissing me off.
It just doesn’t work as well with Miller. It seems to work much better with Kuiper.
Kruk’s blather, I mean. (grin)
WTF?
This strike zone is seriously amoeba-shaped.
Good one . . . POTD in my opinion.
Shit. Nice play, skippy
Fuckity fuck. Some games are just not gonna go your way. This one has stink all over it.
Multiple choice question…..
Tonight’s game is
A. meh
B. bleh
C. feh
How badly do we need an Estes grand slam right now? 🙂
And after that, a solo bomb
NL West W L PCT GB
San Fra 26 21 .553 –
Colorado 26 21 .553 –
Arizona 26 21 .553 –
San Diego 21 25 .457 4.5
LA 19 26 .422 6.0
Amazing how tight the division is . . . Even the Bums are still in it.
Yeah, an opportunity was missed to really bury the Dodgers early, even though the Dodgers are losing again tonight. The Cardinals are just chugging along.
And on the note, the lights on the East Coast go dark.
Night all.
Boo. No exclamation point. I understand. Sleep well Clown. Long weekend ahead
You’re out, man?
If the Clown goes down its time for Flap Town to Frown.
Yeah, rest up clown – we have our ace, Barry Zito going tomorrow. 🙂
Well, those standings need to be adjusted. We’re in 3rd now. Barring a pinch hit salami and a half.
If Joey fucking Chitwood pitched against us his whole career, he’d be a HOFer.
Don’t tease me . . .
Pretty quick segue into trashing the offense.
No idea that Chatwood also beat the Giants in a shutout last August per the Rockies announcers. Of course in Rocky land, his last shutout against the Gmen was 5 innings.
5.2 but who’s counting? The guy has our number. Zito as stopper? Yeah, I should be getting used to it by now. Improbable as that all seems.
NBC went to sleep it seems.
Lincecum didn’t pitch terribly bad, just very inconsistent and it hurt when he spotted them the 2 runs in the 1st. Weird line of 7 innings, 7 hits, 2 BB, 4 earned runs, and 8 SOs. Some good, some bad. Offense couldn’t get off the dime against Chatwood and made him look like All World. Go figure . . .
Well, Tim ain’t the only one but when there’s any kind of problem behind him, he gives some shit up. 2 in the 1st and 1 on the 4th came off errors. He still doesn’t seem to be able to hold his concentration through a whole game.
Bad and average pitchers do pitch good games. No biggie…
Chuck: Zito hasn’t won a game in over a month. He does usually pitch well against the Sherps, though.
I still maintain that the Rockies aren’t for real. The pitching staff – even with “Shitwood” – is smoke and mirrors. Their closer, Betancourt, may be going to the DL. That’s big if they lose him for any extended period of time. The Denver Post also doesn’t believe this is for real and is urging the team to trade for a starter (Garza of Chicago):
http://www.denverpost.com/kiszla/ci_23303984/mark-kiszla-im-pitching-trade-help-rockies-rotation
I will be surprised if they are ahead of the Padres by the All Star break. Seriously.
If you think I’m trashing the Sherpas, here is what Keith Law and a few other prognosticators said about their chances this year:
http://blogs.denverpost.com/rockies/2013/04/03/2013-rockies-predictions-can-you-believe-53-109/14041/
i don’t know about anybody else, but I couldn’t care less if you’re trashing the Sherpas. I picked them for last in the West. Trash away, you’re right. They suck.
Twin, as you are aware, the pitching staff is made up of 5s . . . They really don’t even have what would be considered a 4 on most teams. Consequently, in my mind – it’s a matter of time before the pitching self-destructs. Right now they are strong, but playing at Coors will wear them out soon enough. Meanwhile, the hitters will also be worn down from playing there as well, albeit, their stats will take the hit on the road, not at home. I am quite confident that my prediction will come to pass by the end of the year, but more likely before the All Star game. Flav is wrong about them . . . and if it turns out that he is right, I’ll be the first to give him props. ‘Nite all
He doesn’t need props- he’s giving them to himself already.
I don’t doubt it. I hate ’em anyway . . . I don’t thin they are 53-109 bad, but one can hope.
Tim has turned into a #4, maybe even a #5 at times.
It saddens me…
sniff…..
Who was saying the Rockies is not a team we need worry about?
Head-to-head we certainly are being embarrassed so far this season.
As Blade said: the Rox now think they can play/compete.
BTW, I am not negative about the Gmen in the playoffs or their chances in said games vis-a-vis rising to the occasion.
It’s May not September.
I did and I wont hide from that. As the Nipper said, “It’s May not September.” You’re also right about the Giants being embarrassed so far this season. No denying that. Yet, they are in 2nd, so no need to worry at this point.
As Blade also said- he thinks they’ll be behind the Pads by the All-Star break.
But I’m the one who said that we don’t have have to worry about them. And we don’t.
Hey Mike, your blog says ‘comments closed’ – I’d like to ask you about a cancer treatment that a loved one is about to go through very soon. Just to bounce a few things off of your chest since you’ve been there. If you’re interested, open up the comments or just email me. It would be much appreciated.
I’ll do a new entry in a few minutes Chico.
