Jeff Kent gets booted from Survivor, is a sore loser, mad at Barack Obama

Found November 08, 2012 on Awful Announcing: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jeff Kent
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants
I don't think I've seen an episode of Survivor since the days Elizabeth Hasselbeck wasn't a Hasselbeck.  That's been about 63 seasons ago and somehow the show is still around.  Evidently, former San Francisco Giants second basemen Jeff Kent was booted off the island last night and was none too pleased.  While you can watch the entire tribal council thingy here, the golden clip is Kent's final words after losing his chance at a million dollars.  Not only does he get in a shot at President Obama, he references the millions he made in his MLB career, and calls himself a Game 7 loser.   "You know what pisses me off? I think I've made about $60 million playing baseball and I want this frickin' million dollars in this game. And it's not even a million bucks, it's 600,000 by the time Obama takes it. I'm a Game 7 World Series loser. You know I played in the biggest games in the world and the worst games in the world, but this just sucks. &quo...

Via San Francisco Giants Baseball (SF Giants Rumors)  |  November 08, 2012
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com says San Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean can guarantee that Hunter Pence will be with the Giants in 2013. However, Sabean can’t make the same guarantee for Brian Wilson. “Pence is going to be coming back,” said Sabean. “We think there are some things he can do to fix what went wrong this year. We like the player. We made a big trade to get him...

SF Giants Rumors: Wilson Decision Looms, Romo Stat, Whiteside Gone, Posey Award, Cabrera Money

Via San Francisco Giants Baseball (SF Giants Rumors)  |  November 07, 2012
With the World Series win still fresh on most fans minds. It’s now time for the San Francisco Giants front office to start focusing on 2013.   It’s going to be a big decision for them to decide if Brian Wilson should be offered arbitration or non-tender him. Wilson made $8.5 million in 2012. The Giants could be considering a deal that doesn’t guarantee as much for 2013 but...

Jeff Kent’s ‘Survivor’ Departure Was The Most Jeff Kent Thing Ever

Via With Leather  |  November 08, 2012
I don’t watch much reality TV, let alone any of the CBS blockbuster Survivor, but I’d been keeping my ear to the TV in the other room this season as my girlfriend watched, because as a rule, anything that involves Jeff Kent is usually outstanding. That’s not to say that I like the former San Francisco Giants second baseman. But he has built one of the greatest a-hole reputations...

Better Late Than Never: Your Jeff Kent Moment Of The Week:

Via Metstradamus  |  November 08, 2012
This contains a spolier alert. But here's the thing: this was the one week where we decided to wait until Thursday to watch Survivor. And of course, this was the week where the outcome was spoiled for me. And if it was spoiled for me, chances are it was spoiled for you too, since it's pretty much all over the Internet. So here goes: The tribe has spoken. Jeff Kent is gone...

Baseball Prospectus Profiles Giants CF Prospect Gary Brown

Via The Crazy Crabbers  |  November 08, 2012
Gary Brown is one of the Giants top prospects, and is the potential center fielder of the future. After destroying pitching in High A San Jose, he ran into a bit of a wall in AA Richmond.  This morning Baseball Prospectus has him as their prospect profile (for free!). It's a nice little glimpse into what has been going on with him if you haven't been following his...

Giants Fan Dies After Being Beaten During Celebration for Team’s World Series Win

Via NESN.com  |  November 08, 2012
San Francisco Giants fans got rowdy following their team’s World Series win over the Detroit Tigers, and at least one fan has lost his life in the aftermath. CBS San Francisco reports that 37-year-old Sean Moffitt has passed away, due to injuries he suffered during Giants fans’ celebration of last week’s world championship. Giants fans took to the streets following the decisive...

The Giants Are Farm Grown

Via Bay Sports Nut  |  November 07, 2012
The 2012 Giants were a farm-grown team, loaded with talent drafted and cultivated by the organization, and poised to be perennial playoff contenders. I’m a firm believer that a championship team cannot be purchased through free agency or assembled through mega-deal trades. Baseball is unique in that it is equally an individual performance sport as well as it’s a team sport. Chemistry...

Buster Posey is a Silver Slugger in 2012

Via Bay Sports Nut  |  November 09, 2012
Congratulations to Giants’ catcher Buster Posey for earning a 2012 Silver Slugger Award. His .336 batting average landed him the National League batting title, as well. This Silver Slugger award is, presumed by many, just a prelude to winning the 2012 National League Most Valuable Player award; which is expected to be announced next week. Posey’s accomplishments this year are...

Jeff Kent Voted Off ‘Survivor,’ References 2002 World Series, President Obama (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  November 08, 2012
Jeff Kent is just a normal guy — like the typical Major League Baseball ticket buyer, really. At least that’s what he’s insisted. Millions of dollars, All-Star profile and fights with Barry Bonds aside, Kent recently participated on the newest edition of Survivor, which was always an interesting choice considering his known ornery personality from his playing days. Apparently...

Via Outside the Boxscore  |  November 07, 2012
Although the World Series is behind us, that doesn't mean there is a shortage of musical tributes done by San Francisco Giants fans. In case you forgot, singer Ashkon became a viral sensation in 2010 for his remaking of "Don't Stop Believing" for the Giants World Series run against the Texas Rangers. Now, here is his 2012 version using "We Are the Champions...

It’s The Ultimate Reclamation Project

Via SF Lunatic Fringe  |  November 09, 2012
It’s the small moves that make a season and a team. I admit, when the Giants picked up Ryan Vogelsong, I thought it was to sell tickets in Fresno.  I was wrong. When the Giants found Pat Burrell on the scrap heap, I expected it to be a non-factor in anything.  Nope. Cody Ross?  It seemed like sacrificing a roster spot to stop a rival.  Well, not just. Marco Scutaro?  A fine...

Melky Cabrera Still Reasonable Free-Agent Gamble Despite PED Implications

Via NESN.com  |  November 07, 2012
While one Cabrera was leading his team into the World Series, another was sitting on the sidelines, left off the playoff roster after a suspension for testing positive for testosterone. Everyone knows of Miguel Cabrera‘s exploits in winning the first Triple Crown in 45 year, and likewise everyone knows that potent bat was absent in a World Series loss to the San Francisco Giants...
