Beyond The Box Score Rates The Giants

I feel like I've beat them worse than a dead horse - which also symbolizes exactly how far they'll go in the race for the playoffs.

Ouch...Well he's not really optimistic for this next year. He cites Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn as the only talents to the lineup. I'd add Bengie Molina but only if he bats in the 7th spot and not as the cleanup hitter. Cleanup hitter. Wow, I guess that's harder than it looks to say. The bright spot...

Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain don't deserve what's going to happen to their run support this year much in the same way Barry Zito doesn't deserve his 14.5 million dollar paycheck this year.

Nice little joke there too. Here's the whole article, and I believe he's got the entire NL done as well. I guess this is nothing new but, it does put things in an even worse perspective.

I didn't want to read the article, mostly because it's just confirmation of the truth. It's like finding a love letter from your girlfriend to her new love interest, and you know that the letter trashes you. But you still have to read it.

Sorry dude...

I told her not to leave that letter lying around.

You didn't find the photos we took did you?

Nope, I managed to get my hands on those before he got home. He probably shouldn't look up "Hot Van Smack Slut XXX Photos" on eBay for a while, though. Just a heads up.

He is Vengeance. He is the Knight. He is Dave Righetti. PRAY TO HIM!

Wow...this article is diving into new and unforeseen territory here! Don't know why anyone wouldn't like us!!! We are "gamers" and all. If we had a line-up made up entirely of David Eckstein's, all the 50-95 year old romantics would think we had a team worthy of contention. We'd win the world series over the team made up entirely of the Alex Rodriguez'...because, you know, the A-Rod's suck in the postseason and the Eckstein's rule the skool!!!! Or is that he needs to get on a stool to be eye-to-eye with a dwarf? Or is it that my stool is larger than David after I eat at any buffet? But Eckstein is Captain Gamer and he will now lead the Power All-Outers. So that means 40% of the All-Outers will be made from our roster and we'll have to live with that shame.

The only people impressed by gamers are MSM and the unthinking bicycle seat sniffers who buy into that stuff. The same freaks who also think spending a half-million bucks to deface a Barry Bonds homerun ball is cool. Gamers use false hustle to distract from the fact they are 0 1 tool players. They are randomly successful in "clutch" situations during game that garner much MSM attention. As a resul, said playerst become not only over-rated by idiotic fans, but by front office yes-men who lack the stature to tell fan-boy owners that the object of their desire is worthless as tits on a Buddhist Nun. Besides the useless Eckstein, one can add our very own Dave Roberts, Bucky Dent, Jose Canseco, Deion Sanders and other creations of MSM to that list.

The sad part is Dave Roberts is a marginally good player when everything is clicking. It just sucks that he's made a career out of fooling team after team with his speed and hustle...things that either get him a. hurt or b. not on base.

I think it would be funny if at some point in the season, if someone were to make a real estate-esque sign that says "Gamers for Sale" and put it over by the McCovey statue to get it some notice.
