Why I Think The Giants Should Trade Cain For Fielder

Tiny by Ulnar Maws on Comment 134 comments

This trade SHOULD HAPPEN.  I see no reason why SF should keep Cain at the expense of getting FIELDER.  I'll tell you why.

Cain is a losing pitcher.  Except for his first two seasons, in which his record was 1 game above being a .500 pitcher, his ENTIRE CAREER has been in losing seasons.  This season alone, he has given up more HITS, more RUNS, more HOME RUNS, and WALKS than any other season of his career.  He has the most HIT BATSMEN, most INTENTIONAL WALKS, and is tied for the most BALKS in his career.  Also look at his COMPARABLE TO AGE player, Moe Drabowsky.  Another promising rookie, he came up when he was 20 and was a starter.  Unfortunately, like Cain he was a LOSER and he had his first winning season from the bullpen at age 31.  Matt Cain is signed cheaply for a few more years, but after that do you want to pay him BIG BUCKS to be in the bullpen?

Prince Fielder, on the other hand, is a winner.  He's in the playoffs this year, Cain has yet to be in the playoffs.  He's the youngers player to hit 50 home runs.  50 HOME RUNS.  He would have lead the Giants in home runs this year.  Even though he only hit 34 this year, his average is a bit down so when he hits for a higher average next year he'll hit more home runs.  He tied his career high in TRIPLES this year, and even has 10 SACRIFICE FLIES, showing he will give up his own better average just to make an out for the team.  Fielder is also a good fielder (get it?).  He has a .990 career FIELDING PERCENTAGE and made the most PUT OUTS of his career last year.  Also, Prince Fielder's COMPARABLE TO AGE players include Lou Gehrig, Willie McCovey, Will Clark, and Willie Mays.  Are you going to not trade for them?

I really think this is an easy trade to make, a losing pitcher, for a winning hitter.

I’m not a big fast food fan, but Nation’s is pretty good. Quiznos will do in a pinch.

I don't know what the dictionary definition of fast food is

But I don’t think Nation’s qualifies.

I dunno – you go in, order at a counter, and then get your food quickly and without table service. Isn’t that what fast food is?

Personally I feel fast food has to have a drive thru by definition

But since most people feel that quiznos/subway qualifies as fast food i guess my definition is the wrong one.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
‘Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o’-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
‘Cause you ain’t that average groupie
I’ve seen them dancin’
To hell with romancin’
She’s sweat, wet,
Got it goin’ like a turbo ‘Vette
I’m tired of magazines
Sayin’ flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell ’em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like ‘em round, and big
And when I’m throwin’ a gig
I just can’t help myself, I’m actin’ like an animal
Now here’s my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain’t talkin’ bout Playboy
‘Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want ’em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot’s in trouble
Beggin’ for a piece of that bubble
So I’m lookin’ at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin’ like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I’ll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won’t cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna fuck
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin’ on
A lot of simps won’t like this song
‘Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I’d rather stay and play
‘Cause I’m long, and I’m strong
And I’m down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

Baby got back!
Yeah, baby … when it comes to females, Cosmo ain’t got nothin’
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she’s 5’3".

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin’ workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain’t got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don’t want none
Unless you’ve got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don’t lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that “hard” role
And tell you that the butt ain’t gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you’re fat
Well I ain’t down with that!
‘Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin’
And I’m thinkin’ bout stickin’
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain’t it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can’t resist her
Red beans and rice didn’t miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
’Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit ’em
And I pull up quick to get wit ’em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

As a comparable to Prince Fielder? That, by itself, is weird. Then combine that with the assertions that comparables automatically mean the player will turn into said comparables and I get an absurd image of Fielder fleetly running down fly balls in center field…

Scarlett

I’ve never been a fan of Keira.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

Between the two, Scarlett. But I’m not as high on her as most guys are.

I would make a small penis joke, but that whole manly-macho-penis-size thing really is just not my style.

Oh, it would have been funny, though.

I’ve only seen Scarlett Johansson in one movie – Ghost World – and I liked Thora Birch better there.

Kiera Knightly would annoy me too damn much.

On the other hand, Scarlett Johansson would bore me too damn much.

Oh, dillemas.

Neither

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Nah

That’s one of those movies that I really liked, but I can understand why other people don’t like it.

It’s also a little bit racist.

Here’s a direct quote from that movie:

Good. I have another reason to hate that film. Seriously, I don’t know if I have been more bored during a movie in my life.

Not subtle enough, Walrus Man. I didn’t realize there was a one-day waiting period, though. Who knew posting here was like buying a gun?

It was all the fault of signposey, a dumbass who posted racist stuff in a gameday thread, was promptly banned, and then came back later in the game with another username to scream about fags.

Trade Matt Cain for Barry Zito

That means we get to pay double both their contracts right? In that case, count me in.

Does anyone ACTUALLY use their girlfriend’s boobs as pillows? It’s an interesting nickname for boobs…but they are that comfortable as pillows for a whole night. I got irritated after like 5 minutes last night.

This is the internet. Most of us have only read about women in books at porn sites.

I'm convinced

If they took porn off the internet, there would only be one site left. It would be called Bring Back the Porn.

The rest of us write posts about how we were disappointed with our “girlfriend” and her pillows. As if complete strangers on the internetz believe that said poster actually has a girl that isn’t imaginary.

If there’s only one girlfriend shared between the entire site, you should need permission to do stuff like that to her.

My GF has some nice “pillows” but they aren’t really meant to be slept on. Oh well…I can think of other things to do.

Stupidest post I've ever seen.

I’m not even convinced we SHOULDN’T trade Cain… but seriously… reasoning that Cain is a loser??? Are you actually a Giants fan? Have you been paying attention to the games Cain has “LOST”?

Fuck you for thinking Cain a loser, when in reality the team keeps letting him down.

you can tell someone obviously read the post and scrolled down immediately to post their thoughts w/o reading the comments. It makes for a good laugh.
