McGee- 1982-1990
Ray Lankford- 1990-2000
Jim Edmonds- 2000-2007
(one year of Ankiel in 08)
Colby Rasmus-2009-well, half of 2011.

Good for him.

I don’t buy that. How about looking at it as your pitching is so good that you can afford to move the fences in because great pitching works anywhere and you’d be helping your offense at the same time? Look at Citizens Bank Park. It was a launch pad in the beginning for both teams and all we heard was that no good pitchers would want to pitch there. Now all of a sudden the number of homers are down overall as compared to the first couple years . Did they move the fences back? No. Great home pitching from Halladay, Hamels, and Lee have helped to keep the ball in the park. They have a great ERA at home because they are great pitchers no matter where the fences are. It just seems to me that the teams that play in these caverns have offensive issues year in and year out and no matter how good the pitching is the team suffers for it. I don’t think one great year from the giants disproves that. Make the fences fair and if your pitching is good enough it won’t do anything but improve your offense while the great pitching stays the same.

First time I went to a game there, it took 4 innings for the goose-bumps to subside…

Hmmmm…Back to the drawing-board Mark

It’s just impossibly scenic on a pretty day. The first game I saw there was a Timmy shutout against the D’backs on a sunny afternoon. I was totally hooked.

I think they’ll be there longer and have had much more impact on the WS run from last year than Mark DeRosa.

He’ll never hit for power again with that wrist that’s been surgically repaired what, 2 or 3 times. So unless such a quote is coming from Beltran or the Panda, it’s a big Meh…

Oh Snap!
