There’s one HS catcher in New Mexico who’s going to go in the top ten, but I wouldn’t take him two because there’s pitching available and also Ryan Christianson/Jeff Clement.
If we were picking somewhere other than second, I’d consider it because our New Mexico scouting isn’t bad, and if they vouched for him, I could be into it.
That ball looked like it was hit 12X harder than Posey's, but Posey's was several feet back to straight center, while Francour's was short to left field.
Go Giants!

At least their last names are both innuendos.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I just understood all of what Ozzie said
Witchcraft is clearly afoot.
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Fox doesn't understand the no politics rule
CapSea - October 31, 2010
FOX trolling the world.
w00tah - October 31, 2010
I like this picture.
w00tah - October 31, 2010
They should at least get the kid a jersey or a jacket or something.
Ichiro Touched Me Girl practically got all that and season tickets just for showing up.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
She got season tickets?!
Bitch.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
I said practically...
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
I imagined you were making this face.
w00tah - October 31, 2010
You imagined correctly.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Official Beer of the Thirst Inning
CapSea - October 31, 2010
So why is it that fans can't ever tell when a strike-two pitch has been foul-tipped?
Same reason they think every pop-up is a homerun?
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
Horray for ESPN feed!
Goose - October 31, 2010
Happy Halloweeny everybody. This should bode well for the Giants with their colors.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
Gonna be a dead thread it would appear. Everybody out trick or treating.
Goose - October 31, 2010
I just moved to a new place and got my first trick or treater in 7 years. Yay!
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
This is one of the few hollidays that I don't mind working because I don't have to put up with the trick or treaters
and/or don’t have to go with the girlfriend and her family.
Goose - October 31, 2010
I love the little kids. I'm giving everyone like 4 pieces each to get rid of it before the big kids go out.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
But the big kids are more likely to egg your house if you don't give them anything.
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
True, but when the porchlight and front of the house lights go off it means not home or out of candy, so here's hoping.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
Or watching the Sounders.
I’m excited to be home to watch the World Series instead of being at work.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
On the international TV broadcast
(ESPN/Gary Thorne/Rick Sutcliffe), the players introduce themselves by home country.
And it’s so nice not to listen to Tim McCarver.
Paytheline - October 31, 2010
I thought that was kinda cool.
Goose - October 31, 2010
Far cry from Clemens/Piazza there.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
Loafie slide!
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
Fuck you Hamilton
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Fucking Hamilton.
Eyebrows - October 31, 2010
This strike zone is absurd.
Goose - October 31, 2010
For both teams, at least.
Also SANCHEZ
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Hell of a catch.
drblacknwhite - October 31, 2010
Holy crap!
Goose - October 31, 2010
Shouldn't they rename that the Barry Bonds award?
Goose - October 31, 2010
I love battles like this.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Not like THAT.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Man. That shit was gritty.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
AUBREY HUFF!!!
CapSea - October 31, 2010
HUFFHUFFHUFFHUFFHUFFHUFFHUFF
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Wait... it wasn't Cody Ross?
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
MONSTER SHOT!
drblacknwhite - October 31, 2010
HUFF!
Goose - October 31, 2010
The Hunter becomes the hunted.
Go Giants!
Droid Rage - October 31, 2010
Holy christ that strike call would of plunked a left handed hitter.
Goose - October 31, 2010
Query: Does Nolan Ryan get hammered during steroid laden baseball years?
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Probably.
His secondary pitches weren’t particularly exceptional were they?
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
The curve was pretty wicked.
Big Jared - October 31, 2010
Ha! Love the guy dressed up in full suit as one of the Teletubbies.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
Huh, radio is carrying everything but the baseball game
Thank goodness for streaming internet
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
Sanchez is having a hell of a game.
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Freddy Sanchez sucks at turning double plays
Marinerfanjake - October 31, 2010
He looks like he has meth scabs on his face.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
I fucking love Buster Posey.
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
Another reason I have rookie envy.
Although it could also be catcher envy.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
I miss Johjima!
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Posey!
drblacknwhite - October 31, 2010
Bustered!
slackmaster - October 31, 2010
Jeez, a catcher that can play the position and hit.
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
Hell, I'd take just one of those!
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
Looking at his Fangraphs page kind of hurts
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
I don't know who this guy is.
Goose - October 31, 2010
Hahahaha what was that, did he just swat her on the ass?
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
CFR
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
The bat AND the glove.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Pitchers duel! He said it so it has to be true
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
I like how the Yankees fan says that he had a girlfriend like its unusual/surprising.
w00tah - October 31, 2010
Juuuuuuuuust a bit outside.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Maybe this is a chance for Mark Lowe to redeem himself.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
I doubt it.
Halloween is like the anti-Mark Lowe.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
What are you talking about?
It’s Halloween.
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
But what of the diabetes?
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I thought Brandon Morrow took them all to Toronto
Eyeball Kid - October 31, 2010
He probably smuggled them in the empty hole of potential.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
If you ask me what this means I will deny it exists.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Failure is now a drug.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
It appears the Texas Rangers are snorting it.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
That's only because they don't allow Smoaking in the dugout anymore.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
You are one of about 5 people that could get away with that.
On the other hand, Jeff doesn’t appear to be here…..
the other side - October 31, 2010
I take my opportunities where I can.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
All the more perfect a case for redemption.
Pitching in the face of sweet, sweet candy and licking it.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
At least it's not a sissy blister
CapSea - October 31, 2010
They should give us a horror show of him popping a blister and then picking at it in Hi-Def.
Kermit. - October 31, 2010
I do not want to see this at all!
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Joe Buck looks extremely excited to be at this game.
Wilder. - October 31, 2010
Holy shit.
They literally picked the worst play by play and color guy they could have. This is ridiculous.
BigR - October 31, 2010

MFAN - October 31, 2010
NATIONAL LEAGUE!

Torres!
Goose - October 31, 2010
Time for a GBA rap remix.
Someone T-Pain this shit.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
So you can run and tell that homeboy.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Jesus Christ that was terrible.
Goose - October 31, 2010
That was the most un Vlad like swing ever.
Goose - October 31, 2010
Fourth starters = low-scoring game
BASEBALL!
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
BUSTER POSEY!!!
drblacknwhite - October 31, 2010
Z's next project is to acquire a catcher that doesn't suck.
First base was just a test run.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Well you know, theres this guy in the Yankees system...
Just kidding. Maybe we can pick up some talent in the draft.
the other side - October 31, 2010
He probably won't catch though.
There’s one HS catcher in New Mexico who’s going to go in the top ten, but I wouldn’t take him two because there’s pitching available and also Ryan Christianson/Jeff Clement.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
I'm waaay too gunshy about a first round catcher, but maybe the abundance of arms will bump someone down to the second round.
Or else Z can just grab Harper from Washington.
the other side - October 31, 2010
Although he might not catch either.
the other side - October 31, 2010
Isn't he playing RF in the AFL?
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Yes.
drblacknwhite - October 31, 2010
That was quick.
Although I seem to remember they’ve been talking about this since they drafted him.
the other side - October 31, 2010
Particularly a HS catcher.
If we were picking somewhere other than second, I’d consider it because our New Mexico scouting isn’t bad, and if they vouched for him, I could be into it.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Yeah that's right....
For a bit I was in a world where we weren’t picking top ten…
the other side - October 31, 2010
Wait til 2011
Or likely 2012.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
I hope we get a bunch of shiny stuff from this draft.
the other side - October 31, 2010
So you want to draft Edward Cullen
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I imagine he'll go 1.
Probably have to settle for Emmet or something.
the other side - October 31, 2010
I don't know who that is!
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I'm ashamed I know who that is....
the other side - October 31, 2010
Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh Posey!
slackmaster - October 31, 2010
That looked like a routine popup off the bat.
joof - October 31, 2010
Hamilton really looked like he had it
but just kept going.
HitKing69 - October 31, 2010
Infield fly at Safeco

Dropped foul ball by Rob Johnson
HitKing69 - October 31, 2010
Glad to see yesterday was an anomoly.
I approve of the massive destroying of the Texas Rangers
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Absolutely.
Fuck that 7 game shit.
the other side - October 31, 2010
:P:P:P:P:P:P:P
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
We want more baseball, but have no need for the Rangers getting all uppity.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
I guess I'm okay with six.
But just because of Cliff.
the other side - October 31, 2010
I have been less okay with Cliff since his re-signing became realistic.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
D'awwwww I still love him.
Plus they will probably massively overpay. Doesn’t change the fact that he’ll be mowing us down for the next 5 years though.
the other side - October 31, 2010
I have many wonderful Felix/Lee fantasies.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
I stopped caring about him once we traded him.
joof - October 31, 2010
When are we going to get
a Pocketful of Posey reference?
surfmonkey89 - October 31, 2010
I thought that was just a roll of quarters.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
I got it in during the NLDS.
It’s getting stale now.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
We should work the Buster angle.
the other side - October 31, 2010
MOM, PHINEAS AND FERB ARE MAKING A TITLE SEQUENCE.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Will rec for P&F reference.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
You'll find that most of the things I say are inspired by lines from Phineas and Ferb
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I've noticed this upon occasion.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 31, 2010
I have also used it in work that I have done for clients.
And Yelp reviews.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
That ball looked like it was hit 12X harder than Posey's, but Posey's was several feet back to straight center, while Francour's was short to left field.
joof - October 31, 2010
Nice Pitch.
I am loving the sad faces in Texas.
Droid Rage - October 31, 2010
It''s Brian Wilson!
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Hide ya kids, hide ya wife!
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I've gone from disgust to admiration for Brian Wilson.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Disgust?
That dude is fucking hilarious
CapSea - October 31, 2010
Let me be clear, he LOOKS disgusting.
truemsfan - October 31, 2010
Looks
can be deceiving.
CapSea - October 31, 2010
I never wanted this interview to end.
Brian Wilson, officially one of my favorite players.
Brett the 49er - October 31, 2010
Relative to other Giants pitchers, he's a god.
JY - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Over bitches
the other side - October 31, 2010
Wilson Rocks!
TrustBaseball - October 31, 2010
Dang it, I'd at least like the Giants to win it at home.
wazzu93 - October 31, 2010
That'll show the NL for getting all uppity and winning the All-Star game.
Eyebrows - October 31, 2010
And miss all those grief-stricken Ranger fans?
Plus the look on Nolan’s face. Glorious.
the other side - October 31, 2010
Suck it Rangers.
Goose - October 31, 2010
Yay Giants!
joof - October 31, 2010
So, Cliff Lee gets a win tomorrow, and then the Giants break Texas heart on wednesday?
msb - October 31, 2010
From McC
Goose - October 31, 2010
If I could rec this 100 times, I wouldn't even think twice about doing it.
Brett the 49er - October 31, 2010
My router picked a really shitty time to crap out.
I see the Giants won! Hooray!
