The Garza No-No: What They Are Saying

PrintWhere normally my preference sides with cutting analysis, it's mornings like today when I really appreciate the media and blogs for their descriptive painting of a story. Though many articles are similar, its hard to tire of reading about the first no-hitter in team history. It seems like a wise move to create a one-stop shop for your Garza bits and blurbs for the sake of historical preservation. If you have come across additional links, please post them in the comments and I will add them:

FFFFFUUUUUUUCCCKKKK YYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SPT
The Rays have been involved in three of the five no-hitters this season. This time, they won. One downer on this historic night? Attendance at the Trop was just 17,009.

I liked Corcoran's the best, but there were some amusing bits in Berry's piece.
The right-hander is known for his quirks. Before every start the last two years, he has ordered a meal from Popeye’s Louisiana Chicken — tradition he started after a strong outing during the 2008 season. He eats the spicy chicken and sides first, then his teammates can dig in as well. He even did it before winning Game 7 of the 2008 American League Championship Series against the Red Sox.
So awesome. Love Popeyes.
“They know in the first. They know in the second. They know in the third. They know in the fourth,” Shoppach said. “I don’t know if I’d put it past him, but these guys know when their toenails don’t fit right in their shoes. They know what’s going on when they’re pitching. They might not know what’s going on when they’re not pitching, but they know every pitch when they’re throwing it.”
Shop bringing the lolz.

OK guys I have a question that I need your help on.
I know of this season ticket holder who goes to almost every game and leaves early every game including the end of the 8th last night and the Edwin Jackson no hitter night. Do I just smack him if he is there tonight?
Honestly, though. WTF!?!?
Why even have tickets if you are going to leave a fucking no hitter in the 8th? Does the person even like baseball? Why go to the games. Jsus Christ this pisses me off.
The hell if I know...
I called it last night and I just laughed as he walked up the stairs. I knew it was coming.
You could make an argument if he left in the 8th of a 10-1 game.
Maybe. Personally, I don’t get the whole “leave early to beat traffic” nonsense.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.

from Buster Olney today
A talent evaluator crossed paths with Buster Posey in spring training, watched him in a few games at the time, and then the same evaluator recently got a chance to see the Giants’ rookie again. “I cannot believe what a difference there is in him,” said the evaluator. “He’s like a sponge, in terms of the information he has absorbed and the adjustments he has made. He is the most impressive young player I’ve seen in years. Years.”
Really? Who does he remind you of?
Edgar Martinez at the plate," said the evaluator. "If you throw him fastballs hard on the inner half, he will carve it to right-center field, with power. If you throw him soft stuff middle-in, he will pull it. If you throw him fastballs away, he will take it to right field. This kid … what a great young hitter. You ought to look at his spray chart-I bet he has hits all over the place.
great googly moogly. Beckham better pan out
because blowing a #1 overall pick is painful when the other guy you were considering goes on to become an all-star?
Edgar Martinez is one hell of a name to be mentioned with. I know playing wouldacouldashoulda can get maddening, but imagine this team now with Posey on it.

Tough question.
Great bat, but his peak was short and he didn’t field.
Although looking at it he had 9 seasons over 5 wins, and total zone liked his defense. Baseballprojection.com has him around 66 wins which puts him squarely in the discussion. The thing, though, is even if he was a butcher at 3B/1B but played he’d probably be a near lock.
7 years in a row with wOBA over .400
He did what was asked of him almost better than anyone. 13 seasons with wOBA over .370. That’s incredible.

Since there is no OTTOTD today, and the PEOPLE need to know about this:
ST. PETERSBURG — A man walked into a gas station Monday night with $2 to buy cigarettes. He asked for the cheapest pack.
After the clerk at the Chevron station at 5405 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N told the man that $2 wasn’t enough, the customer pulled a knife.
“How about cigarettes now?” the man asked, police said.
The clerk handed the man a pack of cigarettes. The man shook the clerk’s hand. Then he shook the clerk’s wife’s hand. Then he left on a bicycle.
Police described the man as a white male in his 20s with curly hair wearing a black shirt and shorts.
The caller said the boy, after removing the bulb from its socket, left the building and threw the bulb on the ground. When the bulb broke, the caller said the boy screamed "I am the cat and I am here to steal."

de facto legal in some places.
Just nowhere in the States (aside from the Emerald Triangle I guess).

Yes.
Still not legal if you wanna be all hibbidy jibbidy. Decriminalized in many places outside the US, but nowhere in the Good Ol U. S. of A is it eben decriminalized I believe.
de facto legal != legal
And no, according to federal law, it’s illegal. So it’s illegal everywhere here.

Still illegal dawg. Federal law doesn't give a shit about state medical laws.

It's more de facto legalization than anything else.
I know some people in Mass., where possession of small amounts has been reduced to a small fine, essentially like a traffic ticket. They say the cops in general rarely even enforce that law, due to the ambiguities and murky language of the law, and the ease with which they can fight those tickets and get them dropped. So in areas like that you can basically smoke up wherever you want, with little to no repercussions.
And yes, it is still very much illegal according to the federal gov’t, there is no question about that.

This is the case in Denver as well.
It’s just a really big gray area because while still illegal, those places usually also make it their lowest enforcement priority. Some places where it’s still arrestible have done the same thing as well.

Reaction from baseball expert poster on ESPN comment section:
Am I missing something? Last time I checked a NO, NO stood for no hits, no walks. Yet I see a BB in the box score. Why is everyone on ESPN calling this a NO, NO?

There it is
“Joe Mauer’s 5 for 5 with 7 RBI outdoes Garza because a batter has only done that 75% less than no-hitters have happened”
