Do we WANT Timmy and/or Brian to pitch in the ASG?

Stuttering John Tamargo — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:07:04 -0000

My first fanpost on this new format, so forgive me if I screw something up.

Simple question - do we want The Enchanter and The Non-Beach Boy to show their wares in the All-Star Game, or would we rather have them rest up and avoid the alleged Giants All-Star Pitcher Curse that affected the likes of Atlee Hammaker, Jeff Brantley, John Burkett, and Shawn Estes (but didn't seem to affect Vida Blue or Mike Krukow)?

Six charges in all. I believe "General Peckerheadedness" is one of them.

Open Brian Johnson Diary

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Brian Johnson game. I was at work, of course, following the game on ESPN's Gamecast applet or whatever they called it at the time.

"B Johnson homered to left."

Reading that was so awesome!

Any specific memories of that game to dispense?

BR.com sponsorships

I'm sure that a lot of you make good use of the Baseball Reference web site, and that you're aware you can support the site by sponsoring player pages. Pay a bit of coin and you can leave pretty much any message/URL you want. Some of the sponsorships are pretty amusing to boot (sadly, Dwight Gooden's Cat no longer sponsors Kevin Mitchell's page).

So, I thought it might be a hoot to sponsor the pages of some infamous ex-Giants, and leave McCC as the URL. I got the ball rolling with that legendary Giants outfielder:

Marvin Benard

For $10 (sponsorships last for one year) you can mock:

Damon Minor
Cody Ransom
J.R. Phillips
Alex Sanchez
Johnnie LeMaster
Matt Herges

You can have this guy for $15:

Felix Rodriguez

$20 will get you:

Ricky Ledee

Fork out $30 and you can sponsor one of our all time favorites:

Jose Cruz Jr.

Why he's worth $35 I'll never know:

Edgardo Alfonzo

Really feeling generous? For a cool $50 you can sponsor:

Dusty Baker

And yes, Benitez and Pierzynski are already sponsored.

You just need to register an account and then fund it with PayPal or Amazon payments. You can help keep a kickass baseball site in operation, take a swipe at some Giant whipping boys, and plug the Chronicles at the same time. A win-win-win situation.

My trip to Busch Stadium

A family gathering had me in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago, and we all took in a game at the new Busch on 09/25. It's a sight to behold - it's built much like AT&T, has a great view of downtown St. Louis (much like PNC in Pittsburgh), has a fabulous looking scoreboard, and is very RED. They played the Padres and lost 6-5. It was actually pretty cool when Jim Edmonds, like him or not, hit a pinch-hit 3-run dong to tie the game.

Here I am sporting the McCC threads, as well as my "salary cap."

I'd like to have all of our Benitez-related artwork in one place. Please post it here if you have any.
