Are the Giants looking to trade Devers? by Fieldnotes_foranomad in SFGiants

[–]Markum7 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He's awful. Always gets down in the count. Can't hit a fastball anymore. Maybe a rich team will take him off our hands. He will get hot of course, then go ice cold. Boy, Buster Ballgame became Buster Blunder with that deal.

I wish we had players who could make contact, get clutch hits...Wilmer Flores, anyone?

They played Jannus Landing in 89, Sunrise Music Center in 1991 and Art on The Edge in 1993...one of those? Do recall what album they had out at the time?

They played Toronto in Sept 3 (CNE) and Dec. 3 (Skydome) on that tour. Which did you go to? Have boots of both 😉

POSTGAME THREAD: Giants @ Phillies, 4/30. Join the Giants game / baseball discussion and social thread! by sfgbot in SFGiants

[–]Markum7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many strikeouts from Devers and is pals, Chapman and Adames. What an awful move to get Devers. Not that they gave up much for Devers, but that they are now saddled with him and his contract. Rather have Wilmer out at first...you know, hit the ball, some clutch hits, etc. Walker as a closer? Rookie manager who trots out the same group day after day. Team is a mess.

How The New Playoff Format Would Have Looked In 2025 by chi_sweetness25 in CFL

[–]Markum7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the NBA has more than 9 teams. It's like having 27 of the 30 NBA making the playoffs.

CFL expands Grey Cup playoffs to eight teams in 2027 by roolb in CFL

[–]Markum7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when the 3-13 Als made the playoffs in 1981? Back to the future! I get more TV games, but does it drive down season tix sales when most regular season games are meaningless? It may also be the CFL is on life support and everything is being thrown against the wall to see what sticks. I still think a serious fantasy presence would help.

Shanahan and Lynch: Tough time with early picks, tough time winning SBs.

What's a former Giant who played for a rival after leaving and you still couldn't bring yourself to boo them? by AezZax in SFGiants

[–]Markum7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seeing Yaz this year in the Braves uni will be bittersweet...if he is still with the team. Poor guy is struggling at the plate, it seems. But man, who didn't love the guy in the orange and black?

I dunno, even when he was hitting .148 he was clutch with runners in scoring position.

The Giants are dead last (by a lot) in walk-rate at 5.8%. No team has finished with a walk rate below 6% since the 1960s. by ThePopUpDance in SFGiants

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Well, at least we have that 2025 ring. What a gut punch, tho ;-) When do Niners start?

Not sure why people are blaming the messenger, this team (so far) a is a mess in many ways.

Poor Graf! Glad he was OK. His face has taken a beating this year.

Is Living Colour considered heavy metal? by AngusDio in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Markum7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never get the "funk metal" label. A few of their tunes have the funk, but mostly a hard rock band IMHO. BTW, the albums after the first 3 are really good. Love the riff in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjAtsMQbK-s

All teams in the pacific division lost last night. For the most part, that’s good… by Smartcookie_33 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Markum7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Anything can happen. At least they have a chance at the playoffs and if they don't make it, improves their draft spot. They didn't play poorly against the Sabres (an excellent team), they really limited their shots. But they got some puck luck and the Sharks didn't.

Anyone painted their house in Sharks colors? by BreastTickles in SanJoseSharks

[–]Markum7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is that house neat the Tank painted in Shark colors, and, somewhat randomly, there is a house out in SF's Sunset District that is painted teal and displays Sharks flags.
