Gratuitous Baseball Observations

Congrats to the Giants for winning the Series in fine style last evening.

If I heard the stats correctly, their ace pitcher Tim Lincecum is only 5'11 and 163. That means he's my height and only ten pounds heavier. The fact that he can throw like that despite his small size boggles my mind.

Hard cheese for the Rangers, I know, but it was nice to see them make the championship, too.

Well, we now enter that dark, empty time of the year where we can't do anything except look forward to pitchers and catchers reporting for spring training. (We can also check the headlines every day for news that the Nats have signed Adam Dunn. When is this going to happen, people?)

Yup. So cold, so cold.

I don't think Dunn will be signed. If it was going to happen it would have happened. I am ready to blame the Lerners.

Yeah, I'm getting that sinking feeling, too.

Your 5'11 and 153??

You disgust me sir!! Eat something dammit!!!

(no, this has nothing to do with me being an inch shorter and 55lbs heavier)

Heh. I'm 5'9" and about 140 -- had been up to 160 but had a bad reaction to long term ibuprofen use for my hip. Timmah looks fat next to me.

Glad that Dave Righetti finally gets a ring.
