Uribe activated, Velez to Fresno
Other Managers are Stupid Too
Although it's is worth remembering that Bochy did this INTENTIONALLY in an AL game last year
Giants are NL's Luckiest Team
Given the performance of the offense relative to the record, I think on we all recognize this on some level. Interestingly, tonight's opponent, the Nationals, have been the NL's unluckiest. Let's hope mean-reversion holds off for at least one more series.
Zito Has A Better Fastball This Year
Nice little analysis of what that means for him and the other pitchers who have seen a jump in velocity in 2009.
Writer Hates Baseball, Writes About It Anyways
Vanity Fair article supposedly about what baseball means in this recession. If you think we're elitists, read this crap. Makes me want to punch the author in the throat.
The Semi-Imminent Return of Dave Roberts

According to Rotoworld and Bruce Bochy, Dave Roberts hopes to be "game ready" by the 3rd week of July.
Frankly, in my opinion this is terrible news. The thought of Dave Roberts taking even one at bat away from Fred Lewis, Brian Horwitz, Nate Schierholtz, or Young Player X (who I hear plays a mean CF) makes me want to scream at my computer monitor and verbally and physically assault random passerby.
So, the purpose of this fanpost is two-fold. First, I'd like an answer to this question: Will we ever see Dave Roberts in a Giants' uniform again or will they just DFA him as soon as he's healthy and ready to play? Second, complete the following sentence, "If I see Dave Roberts playing Left Field for the Giants in 2008 while Fred Lewis sits on the bench, I will _________."

I'm here from McCovey Chronicles to get some insight on this guy, specifically, what it would take for the Brewers to trade him. This has been discussed at length here but it seems like none of us really has a great idea what you guys would need/want in return for him. I know one thing that's been thrown out is Jonathan Sanchez and Bengie Molina for LaPorta and Bill Hall. That's probably not giving up enough on the Giants' end to get it done but hopefully it can at least be a starting point for a discussion on the topic. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks for putting up with me.

OT: Own a Baseball Player

Well, not quite. You can actually buy shares of 4% of Indians minor league relief pitcher Randy Newsom's future major league earnings. I haven't worked out the math myself, but the site where I found this indicated that he would need to make $1.25 million for this to be worthwhile at $20 a share. Anyone know anything about this guy and whether he's likely to ever see the majors?
