The Future

by tellusfrank on Apr 7, 2008 10:19 PM PDT

You know your team is bad when one week into the season fans are talking about #1 pick in 2009. Here's to positive, looking-forward kinda thinking.

Let's start a campaign right now to have Steve Decker as manager by 2010 when most of the bad contracts, including Sabean's, is off the hook and we get a fresh new start, fresh new lineup, fresh new manager, GM, and hope for the future.

What say you!!!

eh. seems like somebody who'd trot out the bullshit "speed and defense" meme we're seeing enacted so beautifully at this very moment

"he walked 18; new league record! Struck out 18, another new league record! He also hit the sportswriter, the PA announcer, the bull mascot twice..."

i'm on

the sakata bandwagon

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

hmmm

I can't tell if your being ironic or if you don't know that Sakata is now a coach in the Nippon league because the Giants don't know a good thing when it jumps up and gives 'em five across the eye.

I don't think Sakata wanted a big league gig and was looking to manage in Japan.

I thought also though..

He was dissappointed at the lack of a chance he was given to manage the big guys.

It was specifically said he was disappointed in not even being given an interview for the ML job.

I stand corrected

I would've liked to see him have a chance considering the success he's had in San Jo.

i was being

slightly ironic and very lamentful (if that's a word)

i know he's coaching in Japan. Giants brass is stupid.

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

You put the lame in lamentful!

Not really, though. I just wanted to say it.

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

The worst

It seems likely that the Giants' WORST contract (with the possible exception of Brian Sabean's) will still be on the book and the team will still be stuck with Barry Zito.

by sharksrog on Apr 7, 2008 11:11 PM PDT reply actions

yes

but by then he'll be an overweight, depressed middle reliever, coming in to mop up other people's lousy 4-inning starts.

why wait?

ANYONE ELSE IS FINE IN 2009

Haha

That was me trying to be positive. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

In the future the Giants will be run by DAMNED DIRTY APES

too soon.

Not too soon enough?

Roberto Kelly

He's my choice. Although Steve Decker would not be far behind.

So who's our next pitching coach?

Never been a big Wotus supporter

Not based on anything, just going with the gut. Not that I dislike the guy, just don't get the Skipper vibe off of him.

black

i say when we get rid of bochy san diego scoops him back up and lets bud black go... then we pick him up as our pitching coach. just so we can have black and decker as our pitching coach/manager, because that tandem made me smile as a kid.
