Print1. Zito pitched well in atlanta they have been know to take a risk on big contracts if the other team pays a.k.a mike hampton for the rockies... i know im blowin smoke but just a thought.
2. Has any1 else gotten sick and tired of amy G for GARBAGE. "Her best question to every player is how did the weather affect you tonight?" they all shoot her the wat the hell you talkin bout look. She sucks!
3. What are we doing with our prospects. We have sandoval he is amazing but where to play him! you got posey at catcher so 1b right? WRONG you have isikawia, and bowker. 3b is villilona. I say you get crazy and go for next year with this
C. Molina
1b. Sandoval or Isikawia
2b. Burris or Frandsen
SS. IDK maybe get crazy and put posey the guy can play anywhere but he is a damn good catcher so idk. Bosey prolly wont be ready so this is a question mark
3b. Villilona if not next year put Sandoval maybe cuz he plays C,1b, 3b

He could. I’m not sure if he’d do it well. But he could do it.

Interesting
I know this team would suck next year but I’d love to see Molina ©, Ishikawa (1B), Burriss (2B), Frandsen (3B), Ochoa or (SS), Lewis (LF), Rowand (CF), Schierholtz (RF).
I meant Sandoval and not Molina
Molina and Winn get traded for whatever value you can get. Let the rebuilding continue with an eye towards substantial improvement by 2011.
That seems to be the consensus..
Among us. He played 3B in college and his bat was more of a 2B so he was moved.

You need a glove to play 2B , not a bat.

If Sandoval can actually play 3B, it changes everything. Julio Lugo has negative trade value, we could likely get him for very little other than salary relief.
At that point, you have a lineup of:
Lewis-LF
Winn-RF
Ishikawa-1B
Sandoval-3B
Rowand-CF
Molina-C
Lugo-SS
Frandsen-2B
Now, that lineup requires a LOT of things to go our way, but this is probably the first potential light at the end of the tunnel that we’ve seen in years. The first time our best-case scenario actually results in potential contention.
I find Amy G. kind of innocuous. In fact, she annoys me a lot less than some of the other folks who’ve held the on-field reporter job.
Compared to Cammie
She’s about 1000000000000000x better. Nice to look at. But she’s still terrible and her voice is annoying.
Compared to Cammy, Amy is a gift from the God’s themselves. The thing about Amy G is that after I have the beer goggles on she isn’t that bad. I’m not saying shes good, but there is a possibility ya know? With Cammie, no amount of alcohol or illicit drugs could make that woman look halfway decent.
I think she's really attractive in person
w/o Beer goggles.

she’s cute enough (especially with the glasses) but she’s so awful at her job I cringe when she’s on the screen. Interviews are actually painful.
She really is awful…makes me wonder how she even got the job. Its like they were going for an Erin Andrews-style reporter but decided to hire someone who knew little-to-nothing about baseball. Definitely unprofessional to give really bad interviews while reading off your little notepad after every two words you say. Hope she gets canned after this season
I should probably clarify: I don’t have a problem with Amy G., but I’m not a fan of the whole sideline-reporter concept in general. I’d rather just watch the game.

agreed
She’s a pretty bat reporter, but she looks fine (agree with the glasses part).
One night, I turned on the tv to look for the giants game. I was on vacation, and we didn’t get the channel the game was on the night before, so I wasn’t sure if we would be able to see it that night. When the tv turned on, it showed some woman holding a microphone. I actually thought something like, There’s some other team’s hot sideline reporter, way hotter than Amy. Then I realized it actually was her. First time I saw her wear glasses. Different hair too, I think.

Bat reporter! I want to be a bat reporter. Do I get to wear the Batman mask/ears?

it just really pisses me off
that they feel it’s appropriate to cut away from a full side of an inning to show her friggin interviews like even she gives a flying fuck what she has to say. I watch the game uuuuusually to see the Giants play some, and not so much to see Amy G interview random people.
This is also the woman who said Dominican Republican on air.
Look I often trip over my own tongue and say dumb stuff but I’ll immediately correct myself and then make fun of myself for saying something so dumb, and usually people laugh. But…yow.

Is that really on topic?
I’d say it’s more a mute point than a valid one.

I can....
Up the ante 100 and give you Chrissy Russo of the Padres’ pregame, all-over-the-place reporter who as is pretty as she is dumb. She lends her Starbucks hyper-activity, mixes it with not so good reporting skills and tops it off with an occasional twist of uncomfortable interviewing decorum that screams of a producer trying to get to the next person in the room/area. There used to be a time when people like Dave Campbell and Rick Monday came through San Diego and you got real baseball talk. Now it’s crap chatter with a large heaping of ego and what used to be Jerry Coleman.
Thank the deity that I can watch real games, with real announcers…even though some games might suck hard.
it's always noonan somewhere
chrissy russo FTL
during a recent “Salute to Negro Leagues Day”, she asked a former player, live on air: “so what was it like being a negro baseball player?”
The guy was super polite if i recall…but i remember everyone i was with forced me to rewind the DVR to see if she actually said that.

Orange mascara is fun and silly. Orange skin makes you look like you’re trying way too hard to live up to our F’ed up society’s standard of beauty.

Villalona and Posey ain't here yet
Posey might move quickly, but who knows. Villalona is pretty clearly still a couple of years away. Call back when those guys are both raking in AA and we’ll talk.
Like Barry Zito, I'm mildly half-OK.
Please... dont rush Angel...

If Pablo actually can play third methinks we should sign Teixeira to a 2 or 3 year deal and see what happens
Right you are Ken
Tex is signing for 7-8 minimum. I would love to see him in Orange and Black, but he is getting a 10 year deal with the yanks or mets. Look for Crede at third and Ishi-Lito holding down the corner spots. Manny and OhhhhhhhhhChoa at SS and either one spelling frandsden at 2b for a game or two. Winn is gone next year with Natey boyeeeeee taking over RF. Rowand and Freddy making up the rest with Mo Mo behind the dish and Pablito in to give the wooly mammoth a break every third day.

Tex
he might take an 2-4 year contract with extra money, such as the Dodger’s have been handing out. Then he could get two more big contracts in his career.
Castillo got the DFA. Guestimate for Castillo DFA to come before the 2009 season = 2.
That might be worth it

by FairweatherFan on Aug 21, 2008 9:49 AM PDT up reply actions
Well, I knew you meant that
Still might be worth it. I’d rather spend 30 on tex than 15 on Crede and 15 on Furcal, for instance.
Just make sure his contract comes off the books before Caincecum hits FA so no hard decisions need to be made.

I think Amy G has gotten better as the season’s progressed. Her questions are better, her voice is less squealy, and it seems to me like she’s actually gotten to know the players and made a concerted effort to learn more about the Giants and their history.
Greg Papa’s the one who makes me uncomfortable and it looks like FP wants to squirm whenever Papa stares him down or touches his leg.
I'll take the freight train, Bengie Molina.
