This guy gets it
Wow, it's interesting to see an outsider put down into words pretty much everything we at McCovey Chronicles are hoping for. We are not alone.

Giants emerge as suitor for Damon
Sigh, puke, gag, grumble, etc.
The Giants should go after Pudge...
...according to SI.com. This is one rumor I haven't heard before. What do you think? Would it be worth taking from the potential Johnson/Holliday/Bay payroll funds to have insurance on Posey? I'd say no, simply because it would give Bochy a reason to just not play Posey at all.
If you didn't already think Baggs reads McCovey Chronicles...
"It’s been a great season, a surprising season, but it was hard to envision this team making the playoffs with the lowest on-base percentage and the fewest walks in the major leagues.
**So … Cain for Fielder?
(**=sarcasm) "
Oh, and I also LOLed at this part:
"The Giants were 22-0 when scoring at least eight runs. Until Tuesday night, that is.
That’s an amazing statistic. I had no idea the Giants scored eight runs 22 times."
Alternate ending in Colorado
I will now turn my back and you may all stone me.

OT: PS3 price cut
I was hoping to get the opinion of PS3 owners. My wife just got me a Blu-Ray player for my birthday for about $250. With the news of the new PS3 price cut, along with the Mini-me PS3, do you think it would be worth it to return the BR player and trade it in for a PS3 for the extra $50, even if I'm not certain how much I'll be playing it?
It seems like a good idea to me, but I get nervous when I hear stories about lack of sales, the system losing exclusives, and developers complaining about the difficulty of developing for the ps3. Should I be concerned about the quality/amount of games in the long-run? I also wonder if I should be concerned about the durability of the slim PS3.
Official NN Fantasy league?

I know it's been asked before, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it...have any decisions been made on the NN fantasy league? It's a few short weeks until the start of the season, and it's about time to get drafting, no? Fooch, are we going to have to end up creating our own yahoo or espn league? Or has all this been decided already? I want to join a league where everyone actually participates! My baseball league has been pretty lame this year.

Matt Cain Fresno Grizzlies bobblehead
I was cleaning out the 'ol closet and noticed I have an extra Matt Cain bobblehead we got from a Grizzlies game. Would anyone be interested in it? I was going to put it on ebay but thought I'd let the fellow McCoven have the first shot at it. $20 sound fair? I'd prefer to work it through Paypal if you're interested.

SJ at Visalia pictures

The baby Giants finally made it over to Visalia, so I was able to go to Tuesday and Thursday's games. You all can look at the minor lines for stats/analysis/witty banter, so I won't bore you with that. Just some picture-capitioned goodness.
Here's some shots of the outside of the stadium (and Mrs. UTG). All the brickwork you see is brand new, it just used to be bleachers along this right field line.
Here's a view of the field from the right field foul pole. You can get $5 seats to kick back on the grass on a blanket. Nice for the kiddies, I'm sure.
And there's our fearless leader warming up in right. Notice the barn, a nice shout out to the local agriculture.
Notice the two dugouts on the 3B side. You may have read about this on ESPN before, but the extra dugout on the right can be reserved for parties and the like.
I believe these are some of the relievers playing throw-the-ball-quickly-at-the-next-dude-to-make-him-look-stupid.

Tanner gets down to business
Noonan prepares to go down quietly
Gillespie: "What if you get called up and get to play behind Johnson? That would be epic!"
When AnVil falls, everyone falls with him.
Odle. What a strange name.
The mascot, Tipper. Get it? Cow...Tipper? Clever, I know. Welcome to the Central Valley.
We got to see a lot of this dude swinging and missing this week. No, he isn't really making $6 million, why do you ask?
At one point, a player broke his bat and the fat end flew up and got caught in the netting. Funny stuff.
Thought this one looked awesome in black and white...
