The questions are: is it worth it to try for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Pujols</span>? He hardly signs anymore, at least not in Denver. And will <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">McGwire</span> sign? I've heard he's better, now that he's been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">embarrassed</span> by the steroids issue. 'Graphing is all about time, isn't it? Sit around and wait for the 'graph. Do I want to spend time on two long shots??? Stay tuned....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8829374409147218477-602056489742248385?l=getthegraph.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Reneenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829374409147218477.post-83945385931020633902010-07-02T16:31:00.000-07:002010-07-02T16:46:49.411-07:00The Giants are in Denver for a four-game set with the Rockies. Stupid me, I didn't realize this until today (Friday) or I would've likely gone for autographs yesterday. However, I'm glad I didn't (I'll get to that in a minute).<br />I show up at the hotel and no one's there. This is the Giants who have Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Lincecum</span>...no one is at the hotel??? My first thought is "Do I have the wrong hotel?" But they usually stay at the one I went to, so I parked, grabbed my bag, and waited outside. One of the bellhops came by and confirmed I was in the right place, so I hunkered down to wait. And wait...and wait. After about a half hour, a kid I'd never met showed up (hello Steven, nice to meet you :-) Right then Pablo Sandoval came out. Steven called for him, but I don't think Pablo heard, so I called him. Pablo came right over and signed for Steven.<br />Patrick showed up and we swapped stories. We saw a few players (turned down by Edgar Renteria). Patrick did get Huston Street (of the Rockies) because Street dropped Barry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zito</span> off at the hotel (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Zito</span> ignored Steven and me while Patrick got Street's 'graph).<br />Shortly after that, Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Lincecum</span> came out of the hotel. He walked toward us and I thought "He's going to sign!" but as Tim came closer, he said, "I don't sign on days that I pitch, sorry," and he walked off with some friends. Has anyone ever heard of this? Patrick said that yesterday <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Lincecum</span> came out with headphones on and ignored everyone (thus I was glad I hadn't wasted my time on Thursday as Tim was the only one I really wanted). Has Tim gotten too big to sign for us now? I hope not because I have never gotten him before.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8829374409147218477-8394538593102063390?l=getthegraph.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Reneenoreply@blogger.com0
