I didn't think I had any sympathy left

But this made me a bit sad.

I already got over it.

Really Sabes?

The Klaw

Keith Law scouts the San Jo Giants and comes away somewhat unimpressed especially with Crawdaddy. Also, Buster in the bigs by labor day?

Appreciation for the Regulars

PAWarrior — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:08:44 -0000

I am a huge Giants fan. I watch every game and read every post game wrap. I try to study everything I can on the Giants because during the summer, they are the only thing that matters to me. My life from April to October (hopefully) is the San Francisco Giants.

That is why I came here. I needed more Giants, and a blog devoted to them seemed like a logical destination. I joined the site and posted occasionally, often times to harsh criticism. I quickly realized just how shallow my baseball knowledge was, and how flawed my opinions on the team really were. I got intimidated and stopped posting. I decided to just read for the time being, trying to pick up little bits of knowledge that I could show off to my fellow Giants fans at school. People at school were impressed with what I had learned from MCC, so I read more and more hoping to one day acquire the knowledge necessary to post with confidence on this site.

But what I came to realize is that my fanhood and baseball knowledge will only go so far. As much as I wanted to be the person people turned to for statistical analysis, my mind would not allow it. I could not find the time or the energy to keep up with the rest of the regular McCoven.

So it is in this Fanpost (sorry if this does not warrant one) that I say thank you to all of the McCovey Chronicle regulars. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to us mortals, and non-computers (xanathan). Thank you for creating an entertaining and hilarious place to get away from the everyday grind of work and school. Thank you for allowing me to become a bigger Giants fan than I thought possible, even if it only one tenth of you guys.

And finally, on behalf of the weekly and monthly posters, I say thank you for creating the best community of Giants fans on the web. What you guys don't realize is that most Giants fans I know come here first to get the analysis because they know you guys know your stuff the best. Even if we annoy you with our incompetent baseball knowledge, put up with us, because we sure as hell appreciate you.

PS: Thanks for also making me realize there are always bigger nerds in the world.

Slingbox?

Slingbox?

I call on the knowledgeable McCoven to lend me insight on the quality of watching baseball on Slingbox. As this is my first year in college, I am struggling with the idea of just gameday audio for the first 2 months of the season (even with the immortal duo of Jon and Flem). So, to all of you who have a slingbox or have seen a baseball game using one, what is the quality like and does it warrant spending the rest of my money to get one?
