Sergio Romo Designated for Assignment
According to Andrew Baggarly here, the Giants designated Sergio Romo for assignment by accident. Or something. I'm sure this will all get straightened out, but in the meantime it's perfectly acceptable to jump to conclusions and start freaking out.

They shouldn’t have been fucking sending him down in the first place. Fuck.

WTF. So he talked to his family when they were wearing Dodgers gear at Dodgers stadium last week – that’s no excuse to just cut the kid!

Even if it works itself out, and I hope it does, this is inexcusable.
I’ve said this before, but what the FUCK does Sabean (or Bochy, for that matter) have to do to get fired, anyway!?

Hmm, thinking….Sabean has been GM since 1997. Bob Quinn, GM from 1993-1997, retired at the end of his run. Felipe Alou’s contract was allowed to expire – same with Dusty Baker. I think that was the case with Roger Craig, too.
Perhaps the Giants organization just doesn’t believe in firing managers or GMs. Accidentally DFAing good young relievers, yes. Firing inept morons, no.

they really should have fired Dusty Baker right after the World Series, simply not being able to agree to a new contract was such a pussy move!

I will laugh (read: sob) if the Giants lose Romo because they don’t understand how the rules work and because they wanted to call up 40-year-old Yabu.

No
That actually had some basis in at least partially rational thought, and did not demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the rules.
Perhaps Sabean has mad cow disease, and his brain has turned to swiss cheese?

Even better is they waited an extra day or two to bring Yabu back so they could figure out what to do.
As for Sadler…meh.

They sent down Matos too (and called up Sadler), so like… I don’t even know. There was absolutely ZERO reason to be sending Romo down. This is absolutely inexcusable, especially if we lose him.

Sabean’s only 11.5 games out, so he is going to go get some vets to contend this year. This is the last straw. If this comes to fruition, Sabes-out- NOW!

update from baggarly:
I’m told that Romo was still on revocable trade waivers when the Giants optioned him, which is not allowed. Therefore, he was designated for assignment. I’m told that trade waivers supercede in this case…so it’s a bit tangled. Will the Giants lose Romo, an arm they value, for nothing? I’ll find out.

I rate Romo’s arm having more value than Sadler, Yabu, Matos, etc. I just know he’ll get better with more outtings,
I was really pulling for Sergio. What a waste of talent.

The game could actually work if multiple people hear the situation and jump to a conclusion at the same time. Just to see people collide would be great.
