Hicks Licks
Easily our best off season pick up. So far. With yesterday’s 3 stolen bags we have achieved balanced synergy. 25th in the league in bombs, 25th in the league in stolen bases. Konnichiwa.
Today I drive to Medford so will be out of pocket a little.
FYI Clark is winning the Masters.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
OJ Simpson had died at age of 76 from cancer..
Should have died 30 years ago in that circus trial! “When the glove don’t fit you gotta acquit”
I’m going with Scottie Scheffler to win the Masters,Jason Day are Ludvig Aberg are my other choices..
I always hoped Fred Goldman would just machine gun him on a golf course…
Wasn’t paying much attention by time Law DF was in there, but what was warning about? Hicks had thrown behind a guy as fastball got away from him and Walker hit Nats 3b Lipscomb in 7th with Giants up 7-1, then I saw warnings being given out. What was Law doing?
“It wasn’t my best read” said Fitz after he got picked off but beat throw from Gallo for Giants first SB of year. And of course had another not so good read later in game as he was easy out trying to score from 2b. Nice game for him otherwise and maybe he opened Melvin’s eyes a bit.
He stole 3rd as well. Couple hits. Nice game.
RIP, OJ, hope you have a killer jam session in heaven with Claudine and Edward!
Or Jeffrey and Ted . . .
Say hello to Harry & David in Medford…
That link goes nowhere.
Looks like the Feds are Dodger fans.
They’ve indicted Ohtani’s interpreter for stealing $16 million from him, and exonerated Ohtani from any wrongdoing. It will be interesting to see how Ohtani didn’t miss $16 million. Supposedly the former best friend “cooked the books”, so to speak…
Yeah, I guess his intepreter was also his accountant.
Wonder what tributes they have planned for Chapman and Berkowitz? What a bunch of brain dead assholes…
White House expresses condolences on OJ Simpson’s death, with no mention of murder victims (nypost.com)
With Rittenhouse getting parades and speaking fees, hey, it’s par for the course.
It wasn’t a prepared statement. It looks like the press secretary’s spontaneous, clunky response to an unanticipated question.
Naw! Clearly the woke Biden admin has taken the side of the despicable Black folk hero.
odds on this guy Mason Miller being traded by the A’s by the deadline?

About the same as him needing TJ surgery within a year…
well he’s no longer starting this year. I’d give his arm more life than his tenure at the Oakland E Coli.
I’ve heard about the Kardashians for decades. I guess they have a popular tv show. And I’ve seen Kim’s ass featured on magazine covers. But without the OJ murder trial, would anyone have noticed them?
It all started with a sex tape.
And Robert Kardashian destroying the evidence . . .
I think it all started with kardashians connections to oj way back when they were privileged kids at usc. Recent report says K paid usc a huge amount to destroy evidence related to oj’s sexual assault and battery of two women students while he was winning a Heisman. He thought it would look bad during the 90s trial. Not the dumbest lawyer in the world.
Yet when the verdict was read he looked positively bewildered…
Never heard that, Xoot. Makes sense though. Didn’t know they were college pals. Knew about Cowling.
We all know OJ committed the murders, BUT he was found not guilty in court. So according to our legal system, he had nothing to do with the murders. There are reasons why the NY Post is such a cruddy newspaper.
Thank You.
Yes the NY Post is a cruddy newspaper but WTF did they do wrong in this case? They accurately reported the idiotic, tone deaf, moronic statement made by the White House press secretary. And btw he was found responsible for the murders in civil court and was also a convicted felon in another case. Are you kicking in a few bucks for flowers?
The prosecutors botched the trial so badly that it’s probably taught about in law schools now.
I have to admit when I saw the hot-shot new rookie for the Orioles, I thought of the comedian Carot Top.
The Kings’ season is ending in disappointment. Losing Monk pretty much sealed the deal.
Just hope the Dubs can grab the 8.
13 games down, 149 to go so too early to draw any definitive conclusions. But first two weeks disappointing and underwhelming. Initial returns suggest 2024 Giants resemble 2022/2023 versions – slow on base paths, anemic offense with glaring holes in lineup (Yaz, Slater, Estrada), inability for starters to string together more than 1 or 2 quality starts, etc. The malaise which has hovered over Oracle Park since 2017 (2021 season excluded) has not gone away.
I agree Snell should round into form and return of Cobb will solidify rotation. Also that Chapman, Soler and Lee need time to adjust and ratchet up OPS #’s.
But gotta admit Giants have already taken excitement of Opening Day and return of baseball down few notches by lackadaisical play so far. Would rather sink or swim with Luciano and Matos.
40 pitches in 1-2/3.
