The NLCS: A very hasty look; a paean to Tim Lincecum; an emergency open thread

I've been without internet access for the last day—apparently my neighbors are huge BitTorrent fans, apparently that is cause for futzing with the entire complex's shared connection—and I have about nine minutes to talk about the NLCS. Let me give that a shot.
I should like the San Francisco Giants a lot more than I do. They've got Buster Posey, who is the perfect prospect, and Pablo Sandoval, who this year proved to be much more fun to watch if you aren't a San Francisco Giants fan. They've got Edgar Renteria, who is somehow only 33. They have Aubrey Huff hitting like he's the only worthwhile Devil Ray again despite having scraped along at more than a win below replacement level last season.
And they have Tim Lincecum, who will be a fascinating test case for all kinds of pitching concerns as he gets older. Will the lost velocity eventually dent his strikeout rate, and will he make up for it someplace else? Will his unique mechanics help him avoid the sketchy over-thirty history of pitchers who are so successful so early? Will his so-so win totals in what is presumably his peak cost him if he merits Hall of Fame consideration? He's perhaps the most stereotypically post-Moneyball great pitcher, and as he matures we'll be able to see just what that means.
And absent all that, he's just fun to watch. Nobody pitches like he does; if that means he'll be a little overrated by the time he's lost enough value to be overrated, that only means he'll be the Ichiro of pitchers.
But I just can't get excited about the Giants, and I can't be anything but bored by the Philadelphia Phillies, who are victims of their own greatness at this point. I still love Chase Utley, and Roy Halladay is a pleasure to watch, but I wouldn't mind seeing somebody else represent the National League this season, and the Giants have a good chance of making that happen. It's been a fun series, and tonight's game features another dream pitching matchup, but I've been totally divorced from rooting the entire time. The ALCS, on the other hand—I'm a little more partisan about that.

It's not your fault
They were eliminated so quickly I had forgotten about them too.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I'd love to see a Lee-Lincecum match up.
There have been some really outstanding pitching performances during the playoffs this year.

Yeah, as long as the Rangers win the ALCS
We either get to see Lee-Lincecum or Lee-Halladay which would be awesome

I cannot cheer for the Giants.
During last night’s broadcast, when Buck ‘n McCarver brought up that Cody Ross has only the third-highest playoff slugging percentage for a San Franciscan—behind Bonds (’02) and Jeffrey Leonard (‘87), I grew angry. Even though we won in ’87, I will always resent Leonard. He’s one of the great sporting villains of my childhood. And then there is ‘02—Bonds, Lofton, Schmidt, Snow. Ugh. What I’m saying in a roundabout way is, “GO PLACIDO!”

I also have much trouble cheering for the Giants. 2002 still hurts.
But, I can’t cheer for the Phillies. Like DanUp said, I want another team to represent the NL. Now I can understand how other fans probably thought about the Cardinals from 2000-2006.
Mike Shannon: "That strikeout was brought to you by...by...well, I don't know what it was brought to you by!"
John Rooney: "It wasn't brought to you by anything Mike."

John Rooney: "It wasn't brought to you by anything Mike."
I agree......
honestly, when the Cards aren’t in the playoffs, the only way I could be happy is if everyone were to lose. And it’s Benito Fucking Santiago for me. I still have flash backs of him destroying the Cards every time that Bond’s was walked.

i love watching Texas....
Their lineup is unreal, and its always fun to root against the Yankees. I’d also like to see a different team represent the NL this year, but the Giants are just such a boring team to me. Aside from their pitching, there really isn’t much to get excited about with that lineup. Its one great rookie and a bunch of guys other teams didn’t want or were getting rid of. In regards to yesterdays post, maybe Mo saw the Giants winning games with Burrell, Huff, Guillen and Renteria and thought, “hell, seems to work for them. We have good pitching too, all we need to do is fill the rest of our lineup out with gritty vets (miles,winn,feliz) and we can turn this thing around!”…….ok probably not. But the Giants seem like a team filled with guys LaRussa would covet. Does anyone have any idea what LaRussa’s All-Grit team would look like?

I'm rooting for the Rangers
for a few reasons – my brother lives outside of Dallas and goes to Rangers games, for one. But also I like their team, the energy, the way they seem to have fun playing the game. And also for the ginger ale celebration for Hamilton and co. who can’t/don’t drink – a very classy move I thought. And lastly, to steal what RB said yesterday, it shows that there is life after the big guy (which, unfortunately, I fear we all might have to get used to).
I like their players...

I actually like. . .
both of these teams, and have had trouble determining the one for which I will root.
The Phillies have Halladay and Oswalt, Utley, Polanco, who is one of my all-time favorites for some unexplainable reason, Ryan Howard, a native of the Lou and a product of THE Missouri State University.
The Giants have Timmeh, Bumgarner, E-Rent, Fat Ichiro, Posey, Andres Torres, crazy Brian Wilson, that other reliever that looks like a terrorist whose name escapes me at the moment, Dave Righetti, and a great ballpark.
Things I was wondering while watching the game last night:
- Why on earth did Roy Oswalt throw Uribe a changeup?
- Does Brian Wilson dye his beard black? It appears to be a darker color than the hair on his head.
- Edgar Renteria, your 2011 Cardinals starting 2B?

“I only have one thing to say to you Beard. Strike this motherf*cker out.”
(Best sports movie quote ever)
Mike Shannon: "That strikeout was brought to you by...by...well, I don't know what it was brought to you by!"
John Rooney: "It wasn't brought to you by anything Mike."
If you catch the movie on basic cable,,
the quote is, “Strike this ggguuuuuuyyyyy out.” With the “guy” being weirdly distended to account for being three syllables shorter than “motherfucker.”
First time I saw it like that, I thought that Roger Dorn had been briefly possessed by the devil or something.
yeah! it is one of my favorite dubovers!
The best is from Kill Bill Vol 1.
“My name’s Buck, and I’m here to PARTY!”
I’m pretty sure it’s not same voice.

7-day DL possible for concussions
Because getting kicked in the head beaned is less important than pulling a hamstring.
Albert has the advantage of being ridiculous - FredbirdisaDork
Keep the players from trying to return too fast from a concussion
The team will have an easier time convincing a player to take a week off instead of trying to put the player on the shelf for two weeks. Without the 7 day option, the players will just rub dirt on it and say they can play after two days off which is probably not good for them in the long run.
You already have that problem for other injuries too.

"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter
it only really makes sense if you read it in context, but its the last sentence that i'm particularly happy with
The virtue of obedience presented Elizabeth with a challenge, as a woman, she was subordinate to all men, but as a sovereign, all peoples of her realm owed her their allegiance. This was addressed by having her advisors play a prominent role in advising her, so she was seen as subordinate to their counsel. The reality of this is more complex, the Queen expected her advisors to be honest with her, even when the truth was unpalatable and when announcing her intentions as ruler to parliament she described herself as ruling with counsel. This shows that, although she was willing, at times to submit to the will of her advisors, she would only do so on her own terms and with all the information. This meant that she appeared to be submissive to the wills of her councillors, thus upholding the popular view of the obedient woman, whilst in reality remaining independent. Although the reality of the situation came across in her popular speeches, the true significance is that it garnered her popularity in modern times. It is this independence and willingness to depart from the politics of the time in favour of compromise and patience which makes her popular with modern historians.

That's how you become a writer ...
You start by getting excited about phrases – this is where most people stop. If you’re having fun, you move up to getting excited about sentences – you’ve now left most of your peers behind, because they don’t know how to read sentences. Eventually you move on to paragraphs, sequences of paragraphs, chapters and perhaps entire monographs which only three people in the Anglophone universe are capable of appreciating justly.
And then you become a Professional Writer — and find that your clients don’t care about anything but the phrases, which they either copy off a competitor’s website or receive from the Compliance Department, and all they want from you is punctuation (which does not include colons, semicolons or dashes).

Most of my firm’s clients are insurance and financial services gangs, so most of what I write (or compose) is sales and product training. My magnum opus was a hundred-page translation of an insurance-agent contract into English. But our primary business is technical production for sales conferences, so there’s a lot of video work too: typically boiling five to ten hours of on-camera interviews down into a ten- or twenty-minute ‘dialogue’. I also do tribute and award videos of excruciating sentimentality. … There’s not much ‘creative’ about my writing: just telling the story. And I came to it out of theatre, not literature, though I’ve got a prestigious and largely useless doctorate in British Drama.

You're very gracious, but no apology is called for.

If he's 31, then, assuming his birthday is August 7,
he would have been born in 1979, and would have been 16 (almost 17) when he was called up by the Marlins in 1996. So, I have to assume that the Astros don’t have a clue…..again. But then again, why would they list him at all, since he’s never played for them?

cracking paws...
I was worried that his leg is hurt / sore is why he growled. Only when I went for his right foot. He’s not limping or favoring it at all though so I think he was just being pissy.
Also, I gave up smacking him. he can’t feel it.

well that sucked, i really thought los gigantes had that one
i didn’t see one pitch, i probably should have stayed in rather than be f’ed with again by a soulless succubus. holy fucking shit i’m pathetic
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
I love you alllllllllllllll
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
so no descriptions of the grounds keepers fail or the lady with the giant hat?
it’s like nothing happened.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
