    Absolutely. But you also admit to yourself that you too are a douche for doing it. Yeah, I'm ashamed about it. And I feel more strongly about the issue because of how much I regret it. I posted it, though, to show we can have faults and be hypocritical and yet still be aware of what is right and wrong.

    I've drank and drove -- even got a DUI -- and I judge others for drinking and driving.

    Yeah, if it's just cheating, then I'm going to stay out of it. I will definitely look at a person differently if they are a cheater. I have a good friend whose dad cheated on his mom, and I know how much that tore him up. It was a good lesson for me growing up to not be a horsefeathering horsefeathers and to have a moral compass. But, I also have a friend who has been known to cheat in basically every relationship -- though never married or with kids. And I don't really know how to process that. I prefer to just view any act of infidelity as a private issue that isn't any of my business, while still recognizing that doing such a thing makes you a scumbag. It's a touchy subject. But, that's not even an issue with me right now, thanks to the domestic violence allegations.

    I'm more and more okay with it, but I was checking this morning and I'm having a hard time seeing a big motivation for the Giants. They can afford him, they don't want to pack it up and rebuild, and next year their only rotation guys are Bumgarner/Samardzija/Blach, maybe Beede if things go well. Sure they'll be a player in FA and/or trying to bring back Cueto, but if they deal Samardzija they're staring down a 2018 rotation that is Bumgarner and 4 unknowns. Yeah, Samardzija looks great right now, and I'm more and more a fan of going after him. His contract actually looks rather nice, now that there are fewer years on it, and he's, well, pitching better. But, I do wonder, if everyone else is starting to realize that, then why wouldn't the Giants?

    I guess that's better than Julio Teheran's 5.70 FIP. Unless there's a compelling reason to think Teheran is hurt, then yes I would jump all over buying low on Teheran's crappy May. I've never really been a fan of Teheran, even when he was pitching well. He's a flyball pitcher that doesn't really strike out very many guys and doesn't throw very hard. And his control has been on-and-off the last few years. I buy him as a FIP beater when things are going well. And I think, at his best, he's a really nice pitcher. But, when he's not getting a ton of weak contact, things haven't gone as well for him. I think he might be a guy with a short shelf life, because of his inability to blow the ball past guys. If he's not striking guys out, and he's not elite at inducing weak contact, then he scares me. That's especially so if he can't keep his walk rate really low.

    Yeah, that's on Lackey. I haven't actually been too upset with him, since everyone's sucked all year. But now that the rest of the team is on a roll, I'm quite angry with him.
  9. Aaron_Kennelly
    Ugh. Stupid loss. We played well. Winning run on a stupid play + Lackey being Lackey.
  10. Aaron_Kennelly
    Rizzo's got this.
  11. Aaron_Kennelly
    Hell yes, Schwarbs!
  12. Aaron_Kennelly
    Do it again.
  13. Aaron_Kennelly
    I didn't want to say anything but I feel like he had 5 should've been infield singles with the speed he's shown in the past in this series alone. Yeah, like every single one to third base, I'm accustomed to him beating out.
  14. Aaron_Kennelly
    Is KB slow now?
  15. Aaron_Kennelly
    Schwarber has done nothing but homer since they played Sublime on-air.
  16. Aaron_Kennelly
    Come on, Schwarbs. Keep doing this.
  17. Aaron_Kennelly
    hahaha... they just played Sublime.

    But he suuuuucks, his "good" years have come with FIPs between 4.2-4.5. I wouldn't mind throwing them a prospect to rent Garcia before or after a bigger trade. I guess that's better than Julio Teheran's 5.70 FIP.
  19. Aaron_Kennelly
    The Cards just blew a 4-1 lead by giving up 5 in the 7th.
  20. Aaron_Kennelly
    Keep mashing, young fella.

    Lackey should get a nice Christmas bonus for being the Bryzzo Souvenir Company's top seller.
  22. Aaron_Kennelly
    I really can't wait until the day that Lackey isn't a Cub.

    This made me realize that one of my favorite baseball trivia questions has a new answer. Don Mattingly was the last left-handed throwing player to play second in a major league game. Billy Martin played him there -- and Ron Guidry in centerfield -- after the resumption of the Pine Tar Game. Did he have to make any plays? I don't believe so. I think it was in the 9th inning when the pine tar incident happened.

    Well, that's good to see.
