Everyone share your favorite Bob Melvin memories. Mine was when he let Randy Rodriguez throw 43 pitches in that game against the Rockies when he clearly didn't have it.

This season ended disappointingly, but I don't think the 2026 Giants are that far off. They just need a right fielder, a second baseman, a backup catcher, another outfielder, another infielder, at least 2 starting pitchers, 5 or 6 relievers, and a new manager and coaching staff.

Just had the grim realization that when I get turned into an AI ghost, the biggest bowl from which to scrape my personality is McCovey Chronicles 2018-19. My digital consciousness is forever doomed to ignore the gap between Dereck Rodriguez's ERA and his FIP.

I think it's on Wisely. He got a bad read/didn't know where the defenders were and broke back toward the bag initially.

I hope he's even more hungover this year

Once I was working in an open kitchen and a customer came up to me and asked how we got our *roasted* Brussels sprouts so crispy and I said "we deep fry 'em" and watched her heart break

Imagine being so magnetic that a league has spent decades creating rules to try & get everyone to play like you. That was Rickey Henderson.

The Astros believe they can win the AL West without Kyle Tucker and they're probably right. Further evidence that three divisions per league is too many.

Gonna suck when one of his 4 day hot streaks happens when the Dodgers are in town

Dodgers really won the World Series and said "we gotta become more like the Giants"

Probably too many clams for a guy who isn't great at getting on base and won't be a 30-homer guy at Oracle but (A) who cares not my money and (B) you can't put a price on keeping players away from the Dodgers

Spotify Wrapped of my top 5 artists of the year: 1: Joe Hisaishi 2: Bad Religion 3: Chappell Roan 4: Rancid 5: Against Me!

ME, AGE 15: Ha ha, I like the riffs, but some of these Bad Religion lyrics are kind of corny

ME, AGE 35: No joke, how COULD Hell be any worse?

Dweebs who thinks gen AI will be some great equalizer because they finally get to bring their ideas to life would be served in comparing this book to GAMER (2009). It's the same basic premise but one is way better than the other. Wonder why that is!

Didn't love the first book. I found it hard to keep all the secondary characters straight and didn't track the motivations of Gideon or Harrow so the development of their relationship felt unjustified. Maybe that's user error. Thought the humor was grating if the prose was otherwise excellent.
