Now that’s sad.

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.

Now, you may be saying to yourself: "My team is often competitive, we even win championships now and again. But rarely, if ever, do we set professional sports history!

Actually, I might have never said that to myself.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

There Is A Big Difference

In the Giants case they were (are) chasing individual positive history which should not (and in my judgement did not) impact any positive team goals. In the Pirates case achieved negative team history which clearly impacted any positve team goals.

Now I know it is popular to beleive that keeping Barry delayed the rebuilding effort but this is just bull. Barry didn’t have any impact on rebuilding. There is no real reson why the Giants could not both keep Barry to chase the records and rebuild. In fact, that is what they did starting first with the pitching staff and now with the position players.
