Does Berman still do these shindigs?

If I worked at an office, I would bet on the number of “back-back-back-back-back” comments,which basically means betting on how many home runs you think will be hit. Fun times.

Also, I’m loving the McCain ad to the right where they are showing a photo of him as a young blood. As if that’s supposed to deter the young and crazy demographic of mine from worshipping Obama and sacrificing animals in his name?

colin...

...since it’s slow in here tonight anyway, just wondered what you thought of lincecum’s injury risk, if any. anything to worry about little guy throwing so hard so consistently?

"now, which is it gonna be: drive your car in the lake or get a dislocated elbow?"

by Toonderstrook on Jul 14, 2008 7:59 PM CDT   0 recs

injury risk isn't something anybody has publicly put forward evidence that they can consistently determine

who will get injured and who won’t to my knowledge and I honestly haven’t seen him pitch enough to give my opinion. i know will carroll thinks a lot of him, fwiw. supposedly, he’s a good athlete, which helps a lot, imo. i would want a lot more data before i made a guess.

are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM

by colintj on Jul 14, 2008 8:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

understood.

as far as i can tell, nobody out here would dare whisper the “i” word when discussing timmy boy wonder. if anything, the only grumblings i’ve heard are the typical small frame throwing so hard so consistently = some body part being significantly overworked. i have also heard, however, that he has some sort of bionic arm that doesn’t need icing and is ready to go at all times.

"now, which is it gonna be: drive your car in the lake or get a dislocated elbow?"

by Toonderstrook on Jul 14, 2008 8:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i read the SI article about him and evidently he doesn't ice

i don’t know the medical specifics, so if that’s the way he wants to roll, fine i guess. he might be a freak, but you shouldn’t bet on it. the definition of a freak is someone who constantly defies the odds. those are guys that are optimally used in competitive environments as early as possible. the Giants this year obviously do not count and i’d be very wary of wasting innings on a shitty team like this if I were them.

that's delusional.

7 games at this point in the season? show a little perspective SF. i don’t really know much about Giants fans, but do they profile that differently than A’s fans? seems like they’d be coming more or less from the same background.
