Giants sign Randy Johnson!

Merope — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:06:04 -0000

It was just announced on KNBR by Ted Robinson.

I've not seen anything yet on the internets anywhere.

Can anybody confirm? deny? It's a one year deal, there were no monetary details given.

I never liked Randy Johnson all that much, but I'd rather have him, than have to face him, also better for him to get that 300th win with us... than pitching against us!

By the time I get this to 75 words - I'm sure a million people will have posted this already, feel free to delete as necessary!

Learning How... Baseball

I stumbled across this book in a second hand store today, and saved it from being tossed. I have no use for it, but I didn't want to see it "recycled." It looks like an instructional book for teenagers, or for someone coaching their first team. Does anyone here collect this sort of thing? [I'm willing to media mail it out to you - no charge] It has a publishing date of 1961.

Finish that pesky holiday shopping

According to the spam mail: Buy One, Get One Clearance Sale! Buy one item in Clearance, get a second Clearance item (of equal or lesser value) for free! Offer valid until 12/7/08 at 11:59pm ET and does not apply to shipping, handling, or taxes.

Quite a few hats and whatnot.

From beat writer Henry Schulman:

The Giants have signed reliever Bobby Howry, a right-hander and one of their former prospects, to a one-year contract. Details to come.

OT: Run to Feed the Hungry

Anyone else doing the Run to Feed the Hungry tomorrow?
(Thanksgiving Day - in Sacramento)

We were told at registration that this would set a record for the "largest Thanksgiving event in the world" Then we got to the car and realized the "whole world" doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving!
