Joseph's Bones: Understanding the Struggle Between God and Mankind in the Bibleby Joseph Segal
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It's almost impossible to think of the Bible as anything other than the expression of the religious traditions that view it as Holy Scripture. Yet given that vital parts of it were written as much as a thousand years before the emergence of rabbinic Judaism and the birth of Christianity, there is no obvious reason why this should be true. In his groundbreaking new book, Joseph's Bones: Understanding the Struggle Between God and Mankind in the Bible, philosopher Jerome Segal offers a fresh and vigorous reexamination of the oldest part of the Bible.
In Joseph's Bones, Segal asks you to imagine that you know nothing about Judaism or Christianity and one day pick up something called "The Hexateuch" (the first six books of the Bible). How would you understand the story it recounts? Who is God? And who are the Israelites? And perhaps most important, what is the relationship between God and humanity?
Segal maintains that if we approach the Bible without preconceptions, we will find something unexpected: a brilliant, sophisticated, and highly cohesive account of the human condition. He argues that the Bible reads like an existential novel about the struggle between God and mankind, and is far more sympathetic to mankind than to God.
Segal frames his analysis by considering the tale of Joseph's bones. In the closing words of Genesis, as Joseph lies dying in Egypt, Joseph has the "sons of Israel" swear that when God returns the Israelites to the Promised Land, they will take his bones with them. Some four hundred years later, as the Book of Joshua closes, the Israelites honor this commitment by returning and burying Joseph's bones in Canaan, as their ancestors had pledged.
Noting that throughout the early parts of the Bible God often seethes with anger at the Israelites, calling them "faithless" and "wicked," Segal uses the story of Joseph's faith in his people and their fidelity to him to illustrate how the Bible does not always share God's perspective on the Israelites or on mankind in general. Segal then provides a systematic reinterpretation of the Bible story and comes to see it as the people's book, written as a way to understand the human condition in a universe governed by a powerful and morally complex deity.
He contends that the Bible does not view morality as dependent on God. Rather, it understands moral truths to be objective aspects of reality that limit even God's freedom of action, though God himself resists such a notion. Segal maintains that in the great saga of mankind's struggle with God, Abraham and Moses emerge as heroes, each seeking to protect mankind from God's unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath. The book's final section explores how this rethinking of the Hexateuch transforms the story of Jesus in the New Testament in ways neither Christians nor Jews have considered.
Both a radically new way of understanding the Biblical texts and a lively examination of it, Joseph's Bones is an anomaly of Biblical interpretation: brilliant, rigorously argued, and thoroughly original. It is at once persuasive scholarship and a captivating read.
This bold reinterpretation of the Old Testament presents a new understanding of the Bible's message through the story of Joseph.

I was asked once, "How does one person change the world?" My reply was, "One story at a time".
The diagnosis of autism was a rare one back in 1988 when Matt was diagnosed - only 1:10,000 affected. Then the numbers grew.....and people began to notice. I went from trying to explain autism to those Matt met each year, to really promoting autism awareness through my stories and speaking engagements using this little website. Although most people know the word autism now, we still have a long way to go to make this world a better place for those on the spectrum. Thank you for helping me promote autism awareness.
Thank you world, for your willingness to listen and to open your heart and mind to the mysterious puzzle that is autism.
Progress Report: Here's what's been happening . . .
October 14, 2014
We were in the local Wal-mart. Matt goes his way to do his shopping and I go mine - to walk around aimlessly looking at things I don't need. Sometime later I am walking toward the area Matt loves most - videos, games and pictures. I see him a split second before he sees me. Matt immediately juts his arm over his head and waves enthusiastically. This means he found something he really likes.

Coachella Valley and Music Arts Festival
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2014 is undeniably one of the most popular summer festivals. Coachella has sold out within a matter of days in previous years, and tickets are going shockingly faster for arguably one of its best line-ups in a decade. Coachella also manages to blend together the top acts in the industry with some notable hidden gems. A lot of these indie bands end up breaking through the mainstream in the year following Coachella. Hip hop fans will likely remember the huge buzz garnered by hip hop collective odd Future following their charismatic and wild Coachella performance. Coachella is like a rite of passage. It is something that all the best bands get involved with at some point in their career.
The festival brought out nearly 200 bands for 2014. Some of the headlining artists include the 80s eccentric pop group, the Pet Shop Boys. Chromeo is contributing in the area of electronic music, as well as Foster the People and Girl Talk. The latter's blend of instrumentals and samples makes for an endearing dance show that gathers a huge crowd. Indie giants, such as MGMT, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Pixies performed this year. An 'indie giant" may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2014 it fits. This is because the festival always focused on the biggest acts that were not necessarily cultural phenomenon's. Sure, they throw in a Pearl Jam and Justin Beiber here and there (not trying to compare the two) but they also have plenty of other acts that are not nearly as popular.
Coachella was another success for 2014, and remains the leading giant of summer festivals. it just passed us by, but already news is leaking about the line-up of 2015. This is only what is expected for an event as massive as Coachella.

"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"I also ordered the invitations in this style and I am totally satisfied with both cards. Customer service is always over and beyond. No doubt I will be ordering from Tiny Prints in the future for all our special occasions."
"This note card is super cute with the right amount of outdoor fun and girly flair. I have received numerous compliments on the style of this personalized card. The paper is nice and thick and the speedy delivery from tiny prints is always appreciated!"
"Beautiful thank you notes that I got to supplement the farm friends style invitation. Little pig on the front is so cute and the cow on the back is a pleasant surprise! Nice quality paper! There was a lag time in the printing time bc these cards must be "reviewed by a designer.""
"I liked these even better when I opened the delivery box. Fun, retro, modern, and the top notch quality added sophistication to the mix. Very pleased with this purchase!"

The Cleveland Cavaliers officially signed James Jones and Mike Miller yesterday, reuniting LeBron with two of his favorite players from his tenure in Miami.
Miller, who last played with LeBron James during the Miami Heat's 2012-2013 championship campaign, turned down $12 million to join forces with the King (look for the Mike Miller feature tomorrow morning).
During that run he played in the fewest minutes of his career, but shot 41% from three-point land and started in the final four games of the 2013 Finals, where he shot an incredible 61% from downtown.
Most recently, he put together an impressive season with the Memphis Grizzlies last year that was highlighted by appearances in 82 games (the most since his rookie season) and almost 46% shooting from beyond the arc (his best since '09-'10).
As for James Jones, the majority of his time in Miami was either spent on the bench or in garbage time. However, with the absence of Miller this past season, LeBron frequently requested Jones' playing time be increased during the postseason because of his ability to shoot the three ball.
As a result, Jones appeared in 15 games during the postseason (the most since '11-'12) and hit roughly a three per game (the most since '10-'11) while averaging eight minutes a night (the most since '11-'12).
All in all, Jones and Miller add veteran leadership and more threats from three-point land.
This allows the floor to be spaced, and gives LeBron multiple options to utulize on the offensive end.
With two former Heat teammates of James' locked in, only one piece remains to solidify the veteran presence and give Cleveland unlimited options from beyond the arc.
I'll give you a hint, he's hit the most threes in NBA History.
Who knows, if he joins maybe he will do something like this in Cleveland.
Where's Jesus Shuttlesworth when you need him?
Hopefully, on his way to The Q.

2. Chromium
This is a type of trace mineral that helps enhance the body's insulin function. It also works by increasing your ability to tolerate glucose. On the other hand, if there is minimal chromium level in your body, the insulin released becomes less effective and this leads to more storage of fat. As there are greater deposits of fat in the body, it becomes more difficult for you to lose weight. Thus, the chromium content in GC helps eliminate fat to prevent it from being stored in your body.
3. Potassium
Known for its numerous benefits such as improved kidney function, healthy nerves, muscle development, enhanced metabolism, and blood pressure regulation, this mineral also aids in boosting your body's ability to lose weight naturally. The secret behind potassium's potency to help you lose weight lies in its capability to convert food quickly into energy and build newer muscles. With leaner muscles in your body, you can also burn more calories in a day.

"Utahns understand the need for this balance — for two voices," the 35-page lawsuit contends. "Even thosewho are loyal to the competing News and its owner, or who have been on the receiving end of Tribune barbs or [editorial cartoonist] Pat Bagley caricatures, understand it. So do businesses looking to locate here, and advertisers, and the individuals who formed Citizens for Two Voices."
The suit includes affidavits in support of The Tribune from state Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo; leading print advertiser Jeff Miller of Mark Miller Toyota in Salt Lake City; and Don Gale, former longtime editorial voice for LDS Church-owned KSL-TV.

|Post a Comment
In his affidavit, Bramble said The Tribune's editorial voice was crucial to maintaining diversity in Utah's media scene and its broader culture.
"That role cannot be fulfilled by a sectarian source of media such as the Deseret News,'' the state senator said in his declaration. The Tribune, Bramble said, helped counter the perception of a strong invisible hand of the LDS Church dominating aspects of Utah society.
"When I, as an advocate of business in Utah, can point to The Salt Lake Tribune as a robust independent presence,'' he said, "the concerns about a monolithic, sectarian culture are largely assuaged."
Bramble called The Tribune's journalistic pursuits "critical" to Utah. "For example,'' he said in his affidavit, "it is The Salt Lake Tribune, and The Salt Lake Tribune alone, that has been doggedly pursuing the story surrounding the controversy with former attorneys general of the state of Utah" John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff.
The Tribune ceasing to publish also would substantially damage the ability of major local advertisers to reach customers, Miller said in his affidavit.
A good portion of Salt Lake City readers "absolutely will not consult the Deseret News because of its sectarian nature, either in print or on the Web," Miller said. Loss of the Tribune "would not merely be a shift of advertising presence from one newspaper to another," he said. "[T]here would be a net loss from newspaper advertising, and it would be permanent."
The suit also includes a sworn statement from former Tribune Editor Nancy Conway, who retired in September. Based on nearly a decade of responsibility over the paper's finances, Conway said the new profit split of 70 percent for the News and 30 percent for The Tribune "more than handicaps The Salt Lake Tribune."
The joint-operating agreement "almost certainly lays the way to The Tribune's demise," Conway said, "because the JOA will not yield sufficient revenue for The Tribune to cover costs.''

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- A Parkersburg High School teacher suspended over a student dance video is being reinstated.
Physical education teacher Jesse Young received a 30-day unpaid suspension on March 7. Wood County Schools Superintendent Pat Law had recommended that the Board of Education extend the suspension to May 3.
Instead, the Associated Press reports that Law withdrew the recommendation Tuesday following an executive session with the board.
Young, his attorney and Law declined to comment. Board members also wouldn't comment.
Young was suspended for his role in a Harlem Shake video that administrators said included students simulating sex acts. On March 26, the board decided not to offer Young a contract for next year.
Assistant superintendent Bob Harris says a grievance hearing requested by Young is set for April 26.

Talkin' baseball with Jon Miller
I always love talking Giants baseball, but it was a special treat for me Monday, when I got to do so with Michael Krasny, host of KQED-FM's "Forum," and fellow guests San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ann Killion, CSN Bay Area columnist (and seeming king of all Bay Area sports media), my former Chronicle colleague Ray Ratto, and, with no disrespect to the others, best of all, the voice of the Giants, Hall of Famer Jon Miller.
You can listen to the audio here.
Highlights included:
* Jon Miller telling the story of Travis Ishikawa in tears earlier this year when he was cut by the Pirates and signed to a minor league deal by the Giants, calling his high school coach in Seattle and asking, "Should he move on? Retire? Or persevere in the face of adversity?" He persevered, and Giants Nation is forever grateful.
* Miller also sharing the story of Joe Panik, after struggling to hit Adam Wainwright's cutter earlier this year, studying footage of former Giant and Red Sox player Bill Mueller hitting a home run off the great Mariano Rivera's cutter — and then Panik hitting one of Wainwright's cutters out of the ballpark.
* Miller said Ishikawa would likely have been NLCS MVP, but the voting was tabulated in the eighth inning of game 5, before his historic home run, and therefore Madison Bumgarner got the trophy.
* A listener gave this tidbit, which I had not heard: Apparently Brandon Crawford hid Brandon Belt's glove behind his back in the ninth inning of a tight game against the Cardinals, showing how loose the Giants were.
* Miller showed his amazing candor when he gave this description of Buster Posey, comparing him to the Yankees' Derek Jeter: "He's not a great interview. He's not likely to say anything other than platitudes and boring comments."
I'll note one more thing: Krasny referred to my son Harry wearing a lucky hat, and I told the story. In 2008, an old New York Giants fan, Bob Leinweaver, gave me and Harry a hat from 1954, the last year the Giants had won the Series. Harry wore the hat faithfully, including the first two World Series wins in 2010. He took it off when we got to a friend's house to watch Game 3, when they gave us NL championship hats. But when the Giants lost Game 3, we all agreed Harry had better wear the cap – and they never lost again!
Harry showed off the hat when we were on the evening news during the 2010 Series.
Kansas City, here we come
If it was anyone other than the Giants, I would find it hard to believe. Could a team that at times seemed so flawed, so patched together with Scotch tape and twine, be going to the World Series?
I can't say that I called it, although I, like so many other Giants fans, did put some stock in the Even Numbered Year Theory of This Decade, that sees the Giants bringing home a trophy in 2010, 2012, 2014….
But as an eternal optimist, I did often point out, through that long frustrating summer, that the summers of 2010 and 2012 didn't always feel like destiny was smiling on the Giants. When they trailed the Padres through the summer of 2010, with Edgar Renteria at shortstop, and an outfield patched together with castoffs like Pat Burrell and Cody Ross, did we foresee a World Series trophy? When the Giants fell behind 2-0 to the Reds in 2012, and 3-1 to the Cardinals, did we think reclamation projects like Ryan Vogelsong and Barry Zito would lead them to glory?
So now the Giants seem to be underdogs to the sudden juggernaut that is the Kansas City Royals, in a matchup of wild card teams (that probably was not supposed to happen so soon in the era of the Wild Card Play-In Game). With the Royals mounting an improbable comeback to beat the A's, and then sweeping the heavily favored (Anaheim? Los Angeles? California?) Angels and Baltimore Orioles, I asked my son Harry, "Can anyone beat the Royals?"
His answer: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Here comes 2014!
I love the arrival of spring, and all the hope it brings that a new year — even-numbered! — will cleanse the pain of the last one. (I also hope a good rainfall will come along for the cleansing, to end California's drought.) While 2013 was decidedly painful for the Giants, I see plenty of signs for a turnaround in 2014.
Pablo Sandoval is lean and motivated.
Tim Lincecum is ready to complete his reinvention as a crafty pitcher, instead of a fastball chucker.
Tim Hudson is here to help Lincecum — and he can still deal.
And those are the three and four starters, behind the horses Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner.
Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford keep improving; Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro are healthy; Buster Posey and Hunter Pence anchor the meat of the order; and Michael Morse has arrived to make sure there are no weak spots. The bullpen is deep (love Sergio Romo!); the bench is capable (lurve Hector Sanchez!); Bruce Bochy is the best in the business.
And best of all: I have a new Giants book coming out!
The Giants Baseball Experience: A Year-By-Year Chronicle From New York To San Francisco will be published by MVP Books and will be available April 3. I'll set up a new Web site, and start planning events. The last time I had a new Giants book out — with Willie Mays on the cover, naturally — was 2010, and we all know what happened then!
World Series, baby!
I almost did not recognize my San Francisco Giants when they started this postseason. And I'm not referring to the complete changeover in the starting eight from 2010 – with only Buster Posey remaining. (Pablo Sandoval rode the pine in that historic postseason.)
What I was wondering, less than one month ago: Where was the Torture? The Giants clinched the West so early, the world seemed upside-down.
But through the National League Division Series against the Cincinnati Reds, and the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Giants have shown that even though they have so many new cast members, they all know the script: Torture.
Having fallen behind two games to none against the Reds, the Giants managed to come all the way back. They proceeded to drop three of the first four games to the Cards, and once again won three straight to take the pennant.
Memo to Bruce Bochy and the boys: Please just win this next series early!
I had great fun the other day discussing this and other weighty matters on Michael Krasny's excellent program Forum on KQED. (Krasny graciously said that "Giants Past and Present" is "one of the best books about the Giants.") You can listen to the show here:
The show opened with Giants' President Larry Baer, and you could really hear how much fun he's having. Larry is a lifelong Giants fan in his dream job, and you can't help but smile every time you see him. Then Michael led a spirited discussion with me, KNBR's awesome Marty Lurie, and San Jose Mercury News columnist Mark Purdy. I sure learned a lot listening to those guys – especially when Marty told us that, however bad Pete Kozma played shorstop for the Cardinals in the NLCS, he was not as bad as the Washington Senators' Roger Peckinpaugh in the 1925 World Series, who made eight errors! (Another highlight: Marty let me try on his 2010 World Series ring – and it is a thing of beauty!)
One thought I had that I did not get to share: As we discussed the Giants, and beautiful AT&T Park, I wanted to give props to General Manager Brian Sabean for building a team perfect for its ballpark. Instead of going out and signing home run hitters, who only get frustrated with the park's wide open spaces, Sabean brought in gap hitters like Angel Pagan, Marco Scutaro and Gregor Blanco. You could put Melky Cabrera in there too (even though we don't really like to talk about him any more), and it looks like it'll be a good fit for the Brandons – Belt and Crawford. Need I say Buster Posey?
And maybe, if Hunter Pence hits more line drives like his famed "triple double" from game 7 of the NLCS – the ball that hit the bat three times – instead of swinging for the fences, the Giants will have the ingredients necessary to foil those big bopping Tigers.
After all, Marty Lurie viewed Pence's lucky-breaking line drive as karmic payback for Willie McCovey's smash that ended the 1962 World Series. No one could have hit that ball any harder, but it went straight to the Yankees' Bobby Richardson. Pence's ball curved away from Kozma, and the Giants were in business.
It's good to be good. But sometimes it's better to be lucky.
Even if it's a little Torturous.
Orange October
Once again, the Giants are roaring into October, and the diehards are ready for another magical run. I sure am. But I can't help but note that things feel different this time.
For one thing: Where is the Torture?
And for another: What happened to our lovable band of castoffs and misfits?
The Giants of 2010 knew how to break a curse. They took all the Torture of the past half-century-plus in San Francisco — all the second place finishes of the 1960s, McCovey's line drive, Jose Oquendo, Candy Maldonado, Dusty Baker and Russ Ortiz — and they owned it. When Duane Kuiper coined his slogan in May of that season, "Giants Baseball: It's Torture!," he gave the team a rallying cry that told the world, we don't care how many times we bring it to the brink, we can win.
No one personified Torture more than Brian Wilson. He became the face of the franchise, muscle-bound, and weird beyond words, stalking to the mound, throwing heat – and giving up the walks that would bring opponents tantalizingly close, only to slam the door on such Torture. And it all flowed from Wilson: His pal, Pat Burrell, donning the leather straps as the Machine; Burrell's pal, Aubrey Huff, donning the satin thong that assured the postseason; and the rest of the castoffs, midseason acquisitions like Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez, and Cody Ross, who was claimed off waivers and went on to author some improbably insane postseason heroics.
The Giants kept their team remarkably intact in 2011, and it got them nowhere. But they did learn something important that season: the importance of Buster. When Posey went down in May, the Giants were essentially done.
I've often felt that Posey could be the Giants' Derek Jeter. Like Jeter, he provided the missing ingredient to bring his team a championship in his rookie year. He is calm, poised beyond his years, confident and capable. I don't think anyone would argue with the Giants naming Buster their captain.
And that's where the big difference between 2010 and 2012 comes in. Instead of Buster quietly fitting in among the Freak, the Beard and the rest of the castoffs, he is the undisputed leader of this year's squad. The Giants have a much more understated, workmanlike approach, exemplified for me by three young, strong, silent Southerners – Posey, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner. I think (warning: armchair psychoanalysis ahead) this may be why Tim Lincecum is struggling; the free-spirited, pot-smoking, long-haired Freak is no longer at home in his own clubhouse.
One of the interesting things about this switch in team personality hit me in August, when Carl Steward, a fine columnist for the Bay Area Newspaper Group (aka the San Jose Oakland Contra Costa Marin Mercury Times News Journal), took note of the Giants hitting a real low point in the season. They had been swept by the Dodgers at home. They looked like they couldn't score runs. Steward wondered if Coors Field could prove a tonic (it did), and if Posey and Cain were too quiet to fire up the team the way Huff and Burrell did two years earlier. Steward wrote:
Good teams need strong, occasionally outspoken leaders. Leadership can't always be by setting a good example aka Cain/Posey. Sometimes you have to get in players' ears. Sometimes you need to throw a fit or berate one of us media types after a loss. Sometimes you have to remind teammates that it's baseball and it's supposed to be fun as you set off a cherry bomb in the middle of the clubhouse, or hide a four-day-old chicken neck in somebody's locker.
It may be Cain's team and Posey's team, but they're the strong, silent, stable types. The Giants need somebody right now to throw the cherry bomb. Make somebody laugh. Make somebody ticked off. Become the human defibrillator.
Not only did the Giants start hitting at Coors, but they got their cherry bomb two weeks later, when Melky Cabrera was suspended.
He was cast off. The Giants were misfits no more. And never mind Torture, they overtook the Dodgers and clinched the division with 10 games to spare.
I can't wait to see what they do in October.
RIP, 2011 baseball season
The funny thing is, we thought 2010 was "Torture."
We could laugh about Torture when the Giants managed to win the World Series. But in 2011, we became re-acquainted with our old friend Torture when the Giants suddenly stopped winning all those walk-off, one-run ballgames. It seemed they just stopped scoring runs, period, and the challenge of stringing together three hits in a row became an insurmountable obstacle.
And 2011 truly defined Torture, Giants-style, with a seemingly endless array of injuries. None hurt more than Buster Posey's season-ending loss in that eminently avoidable crash at home plate back in May. But it was equally painful to see rock-solid Brian Wilson go down, and Pablo Sandoval's fabulous comeback momentarily derailed. And of course it turned out Freddy Sanchez never did vacate his room in the Hotel Disabled, moving right back in on schedule. (Barry Zito and Jonathan Sanchez, those injuries I can forgive.)
I admire the way the Giants never gave up. I like that Brian Sabean brought in Carlos Beltran and Jeff Keppinger. (Orlando Cabrera, I was not so crazy about. I understand why Brandon Crawford couldn't stay – you don't want a rookie falling into a double digit batting average and thinking he will never hit big league pitching – but if you have to hire a shortstop who can't hit, couldn't you at least bring back Omar Vizquel?) I liked that the team stayed in the race til the final week.
Hey, I liked that the Atlanta Braves collapsed and the Diamondbacks never showed anything too dominant, enabling that race to linger.
But it sure has been Torture watching a postseason without the Giants, especially one in which the starting pitchers all seem highly inferior to Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Ryan Vogelsong. I have to feel our guys would be giving any team in the playoffs a good run once again, if they'd only gotten there.
So now I've tossed this year's Sporting Greens into the hot stove, and am ready to burnish my optimism for 2012. Re-sign Beltran. Get the Brandons – Belt and Crawford – into a big league boot camp all winter. Make Aubrey Huff and Brett Pill battle it out for first base in Spring Training. Sign Coco Crisp. (Let the A's have San Jose in exchange for some Moneyball mojo.)
The Giants are not too far from putting together another run at the title. I cannot wait until Spring!
Damon Bruce loves the book!
I had a great conversation with Damon Bruce last Friday on his show. We talked about Giants Past and Present. It was a great interview and a great treat for fathers day. Damon said, "It is a 1st class product all the way through – a well written, well crafted book."
Dan Fost on the Damon Bruce Show
Bruce Bochy Looks Like the Best in the Business
Today's guest post is from Bleacher Report Contributor Simon Cherin-Gordon, a Berkeley High Senior who has been helping me on projects large and small on this site and elsewhere for the past year.
After Bruce Bochy led the Giants on a second half surge that netted them an unexpected division title, many Giants' fans were calling for Bochy to win the Manager of the Year award. While Bochy was deserving, so were others, including Padres' skipper Bud Black, who won 90 games with a roster that most expected to struggle all year. The award went to him, and rightfully so.
Bochy, meanwhile, went on to win the World Series, strengthening his position as one of the game's best.
However, it is only now, two months into the 2011 season, that we are seeing Bochy's finest work. After an uneventful offseason, the Giants looked like they'd be caught in another fierce battle with better offensive teams out west, and would need heroic career years out of guys who already delivered their heroic career years in 2010. While Pat Burrell's resurrection and Cody Ross' hot streak could be attributed to Bochy, that may be giving him more credit than he deserves.
In fact, the 2010 Giants may have underperformed in multiple, albeit subtle, ways. The 2010 team was 6th in the NL in total bases, batting average, and home runs, yet finished only 9th in runs scored, indicating an inefficient offense. On the defensive side, they led the league in fielding percentage as well as ERA, a seemingly fool-proof formula for allowing the fewest runs. However, Bud Black's Padres allowed less runs than the Giants in 2010. And even when taking the end result of runs allowed and runs scored for San Francisco, their 92-70 record was slightly worse than their Pythagorean projection (a simple Bill Jamesian stat that projects W-L record based on run differential), which had them at 94-68.
As anyone should have seen coming, the offense has taken a step back so far in 2011, and, to the surprise of many, the defense has gotten a whole lot worse. Mark DeRosa may eventually help some, and Aubrey Huff will likely pick his numbers up. Other than that, not many hitters are underperforming, and the lack of pop may be here to stay. The pitching staff is still excellent, but the defense has hurt them. Bochy doesn't have the benefit of this being "the Giants' year," and needs to squeeze as much as he can out of this deep but flawed roster.
He's done so miraculously, using his depth to its full capacity and, in doing so, covering up the flaws. His game management, use of certain players in certain roles, and steady presence has the Giants winning way more than they should be. Despite the league's 3rd best ERA and 13th best defense, San Francisco is 3rd best in the league in runs allowed. And while the Pythagorean projection says the team should be 23-24, Bochy has them at 27-20, solely atop the NL West.
The toughest thing about managing the defending champs is the heightened desire around the league to defeat you, especially early in the season. Every other team out there circles the Giants on their calenders, and plays with an added intensity when they meet. Facing teams that are playing with an extra edge every single day can, and often does, prove to be too much for a defending champ. This leads to a scrambling manager, a belief in the players that they aren't good as they were last year, and a downward spiral. Bochy and his 2011 club has been the antithesis of this. The Giants are playing more intensely than their opponents. Bochy has his player's roles figured out and never panics when a decision backfires.
Although no team has won back-to-back World Series titles since 2000, no manager of a defending champ has done as good a job as Bruce Bochy in a long time. And regardless of what happens this October, a return to the playoffs for this team should net Bochy the Manager of the Year award in a landslide.

Hallelujah, Giants!
If there's any doubt that going to a baseball game can be a near-religious experience, the Giants removed it this weekend.
It felt like the Church of Baseball when we had a moment of silence at the home opener for the Giants who died in the past year, from Gino Cimoli (first batter on the West Coast) to Duke Snider ("Yes, Duke Snider was a Giant, although only briefly," said Jon Miller, reverentially). It felt like it, too, when we had another moment for Brian Stowe, our fellow fan who lies comatose in a hospital after his beating at the hand of Dodger fans.
And there were plenty of rapturous, euphoric moments, as the team was announced one by one on Opening Day, and the championship flag went up, and again the following day, as the players received their rings. The best line, of course, went to Duane Kuiper: "The rings, the tuxes – no, Mike (Krukow) and I are not here to renew our vows."
I have to say, the Giants did everything right in those ceremonies. I was not immune to the occasional lump in the throat. For some reason, it especially hits me each time Tim Lincecum is announced. He always gets the loudest cheers, and I guess it's emotional because he is so small, yet so gutsy, and carries the whole team on his back at such critical times. I was at his 14-strikeout gem against the Braves in the NLDS, which gives me what I feel is an intimate connection to his greatness, and then the way he outpitched Cliff Lee in Game 5 of the World Series in Texas last year just elevated him to another plane. Freak, indeed.
And then, of course, no planned or contrived moments of wonder and awe could compete with the Giants on the field themselves. Of course Brian Wilson blew the save, reminding us all of the Torture we endured in 2010. We joke about it now, but it is painful! And then, of course, the gutty gritty Giants never gave up, no matter how many rallies were squelched, ultimately prevailing, because they are not going to lose their first game at AT&T Park since the World Series, the game in which Wilson dramatically ran that championship flag across the field, through the stands, and up the pole.
Nor were they going to lose the game after the ring ceremony. I'm reading "The Hobbit" with my son right now, and the Giants' rings – won by magic – seem as mystical as the ring that Bilbo Baggins uses to get out of so many jams in that book. And so, just when it looked like Matt Cain was going to fall victim to a lack of run support again, of course the Giants came back and won, but only when down to their last strike.
And how sweet was it that the newest Giants did it – that Miguel Tejada got the clutch hit, and Brandon Belt scored the winning run. That was their baptism into baseball, Giants' style – castoffs, yes, but winning Dirty Dozen style nonetheless.
Bring on the rest of the season.
And pray.
Talking baseball
On the eve of Opening Day, with the Barry Bonds trial in full swing, I spoke to Jeff Thurn, host of a great sports radio talk show on Nashville's WNSR.
On my long list of reasons why I love the 2010 World Champion Giants, I can now add: They make the Bonds trial completely irrelevant. All the sordid revelations, all the recriminations of Bonds and his teammates, his trainer, management, his wives, his girlfriend – it all felt like it mattered when we were rooting for him. I loved watching him bat in those years after he turned into Babe Ruth II. But I am also aware enough to see that his behavior was revolting.
If the Giants hadn't have won the World Series last year, Barry's trial would be one more example of the Torture that we suffer. We'd be reliving 2002, the heartbreak, those years of trying to surround Barry with just enough talent to win – yet not anyone too talented, lest it threaten his massive yet fragile ego.
But – we don't have to go there. The Giants are world champs. They did it without getting that big Bondsian bat, either – without trading Lincecum or Cain for a Prince Fielder or Adrian Gonzalez.
And I love them for that.

ANIMATION: Hydrangea Colors: It's All in the Soil
The Hydrangea macrophylla (big-leafed hydrangea) plant is the only known plant that can 'detect' the pH level in surrounding soil!
One of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, it conceals a bouquet of biological and biochemical surprises. The iconic "snowball" shaped hydrangea blooms are a common staple of backyard gardens.
Hydrangea colors ultimately depend on the availability of aluminum ions(Al3+) within the soil.

Guatemala Travel Tips
Guatemala is the Mayan heart of Central America. There are dozens of historical sites to explore in this country, but there are other charms here as well, such as the colonial city of Antigua, and the lively market of Chichicastenango, not to mention awesome volcanoes and lakes. All that plus dense jungles, colonial cities, and relatively inexpensive food makes Guatemala a great place to visit.
