SF Giants talk and collecting thread
SF Giants AAA affiliate: Fresno Grizzlies. Oakland A's AAA affiliate: Sacramento Rivercats. I get out to 1 Giants game a year, but I could easily see myself taking in multiple Rivercats games if the Rivercats had Giants farm players. That, plus minor league games are cheap and easy for... -

What do you think about the rumors that SF might relocate their AAA club to Sacramento? The ownership of the Sacramento River Cats is apparently very interested in changing affiliations from Oakland to SF. If you're not in California, you probably don't care. I'd absolutely love it. Raley... -

Uggla got let go because he was hitting .162/.241/.231, with 2 homers in 130 ab. The year before he hit .179/.309/.362 with 22 homers in 448 ab. The Braves are on the hook for his salary this year and next, so they apparently decided that it was worth it to eat his contract just to get him off... -

Cain to the DL with an elbow issue. Belt to the DL with a concussion. Giants sign Dan Uggla to a minor league deal. Not a lot of news to be excited about on a Monday morning. :( -
Embarrassingly "F'd up" cards by companies
Was the bug just smashed against the back of the card, or was it smashed between the cardboard and the UV coating (entomology relic)? -
Embarrassingly "F'd up" cards by companies
I haaaaaaate bugs! My initial reaction on pulling something like that from a pack would be to throw the cards and jump out of my chair and away from the table in a single fluid motion. So is that thing sealed between the cardboard and the UV coating? You still have it? -

Blanco is not the only problem. Was Pagan so good that he made everyone else better? -

Since it sounds like Scutaro is close to coming back ("3 more games with Fresno, then back to SF", was the word yesterday), who do you think goes away to make room for Scoots? Giants will have to clear a 40-man spot for him, so someone's going to have to get DFA'ed. Maybe Hicks? He's gone 1... -

Giants scale the mountain, and when everyone was looking, they just jumped off. Exhibitionist suicide. -

4 and 14 since the Mets series, with downward momentum of a meteorite. How big will this crater be? During this skid, Romo's blown 3 of 5 save chances. In one game, a 3 run lead was blow in the 8th. Still, 10 of those losses were the starting pitching getting shelled or the offence getting... -
Lincecum No No Through 8 - Will it move the needle for his cards?
His last contract was a 2 year, $35m contract. The team management thinks he'll figure it out. Heck, he might pull a Dennis Eckersley and turn into a dominating closer for the second half of his career. He was filthy out of the pen during the 2012 postseason. While your use of the word... -
Lincecum No No Through 8 - Will it move the needle for his cards?
It's a little early to be calling it his "twilight". He's only 30. There's no reason to think he won't keep on playing into his late 30s. -
Lincecum No No Through 8 - Will it move the needle for his cards?
Prices on his 2007 Bowman Chrome Auto Gold and Orange refractors is still high. I want to get one eventually, but not for $500+. -

Angel Pagan to the DL. Adam Duvall, come on down. Duvall's power numbers in Fresno are pretty impressive, but it's Fresno, where Todd Linden, John Bowker, and Brett Pill were gods. I imagine that he'll be seeing most of his playing time at 1st base, moving Morse to the outfield. I guess that... -

August 17th is this years "Giants trading card day" promotion, this time sponsored by Coca-Cola. Since 1983, they've had some sort of "Giants card day" promotion (skipped in 2004 for some reason). Mother's Cookies was the sponsor from 1983-1998, then Keebler from 1999-2003, Emerald Nuts from... -
Need a Vintage Condition Check Please
If that's paper loss by his eye and on his ear, then PSA 1. That lower-right corner looks unusually sharp, possibly rebuilt? PSA 1 or Authentic. -

Giants just called up 2nd baseman Joe Panik. Juan Perez optioned to Fresno to make room on the 25 man, Jake Dunning DFA'ed to make room on the 40 man. He's been posting a slash of .321/.382/.447 in Fresno. Hopefully he'll remind us more of healthy Freddy Sanchez or Marco Scutaro, as opposed... -

Yeah, they've got a 4 game lead in the West, but WTF is this crap? Dropping 9 of 10? All that "magic" they had going at the start of the season has flipped into it's inverse. Regression, nuclear style. -

Clayton Kershaw throws a NO-HITTER vs. Colorado!
Choking? That's too weak of a word to use. Giants are giving those games back like Jesse Pinkman driving around through the hood in a guilt-ridden haze, throwing his money out the window. -
Clayton Kershaw throws a NO-HITTER vs. Colorado!
He and Juan Uribe can commiserate. Uribe's error was the only blemish on an otherwise perfect game by Jonathan Sanchez in 2009.
