Maholm is just the type of pitcher that will shut the Giants down
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
My beer pitcher can shut the Giants down.

I almost added "One with an arm."
So, yeah, I was thinking the same thing as you guys.
But it’s especially true of guys like Maholm.
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
here's the thing..
..the Giants are in a huge tie for 4th-worst record in the majors in the win column. Yeah, the three worst are running away with it, but even in a weak draft class (and 2009 looks weak), the #4 pick is a much better bet than #10. So right now, we want Cain to look good, get pulled early, and the ’pen to blow it.
Heck, if it were me I would shoot for the #4, then pick whatever name on the board looked the most like this year’s Aaron Crow. Then you get #4A in 2010, which is unlikely to be as weak a draft as 2009.
So, I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t mind a nice losing streak right about here.
The teams we’re tied with are the Pirates and the Royals – and the Royals are up 3-0! A loss today and we’re all alone for the #4 pick! And the Nationals are clearly too cheap for Strasburg and maybe the Padres are too and the Mariners are stupid! So exciting OMG!!!!!

I'd be happy to win Timmy's starts
and lose everythign else the rest of the way. maybe lose one of timmy’s starts on a blown save. That should put us up to the top 2 or 3 with an outside shot at 1. I think it is very possible one of the three teams will have a hot streak and fall back while another goes dead cold the rest of the way.

This takes the cake
For strange moves.
Like, of all time.
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
I don't think it's that strange..
He’s on the 40 man.. so might as well.
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
They had to put him on the 40-man to do this. Timpner was outrighted.
And it’s weird because there’s no apparent reason to believe Gillaspie is ready, and this will start his arbitration timetable and options way ahead of schedule.

I thought was the one
who signed the major league contract (and I thought that meant he was auto-put on the 40-man)
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
I don’t really remember, but I think that it was rumored he wanted or got a major league contract, but then it turned out not to be the case.
What man? Which man? Who’s the man? When’s a man a man? What makes a man a man? Am I a man? Yes. Technically I am. - FotC
no majors contract
but maybe this was part of the deal, a handshake agreement to get him to the majors this year. makes some sense why he wasn’t mentioned when the news came out that buster was going to SJ
Proud adopter of Jason Jarvis: let's see YOU pass an online music course without cheating!
Here 'tis
1) Randy Winn LF
2) Ivan Ochoa 2B
3) Rich Aurilia 3B
4) Bengie Molina C
5) Scott McClain 1B
6) Aaron Rowand CF
7) Nate Schierholtz RF
8) Emmanuel Burriss SS
9) Matt Cain P
There are a couple of ways they could’ve made it worse – like starting Roberts instead of Schierholtz, or Vizquel instead of Burriss. But yeah.
Putting Ochoa at #2 instead of Burriss is all kinds of WTF. Last I checked, .354 OPS > .287 OPS.

Assuming he can maintain his current OBP, he’d be a ok leadoff hitter.

Lost in the controversy: if Molina wasn’t slower than a glacier, he would’ve hit a double and wouldn’t have still been on second by the time of the double play.

Get a homer, three singles and a walk in an inning and only score once.

Operation Strasburg update!
The Royals held on to win, so in four innings we will likely be in sole possession of the fourth pick!!! The Mariners are down 1-0, but it’s only the third; if they come back to win and we hold on to the loss, we’ll only be 4 games out of the #3 pick. SO EXCITING BABY!!!

Wait a second
Is this a Matt Cain start? Things are all backwards. I’m confused.

McClain rockin' the Matt Williams hairdo
Pablo rockin’ the catching gear!
Things are good right now
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
Ok, so
where the hell was McClain earlier this year? WTF??? Is he really worse than any other option we had?
Scott McClain for president

Sandoval/McClain ticket?
Yes we can hit home runs.

Why did we keep him in the minors so long?
he’s not part of the future? what about the now?

that homer was so pretty and effortless, it makes you wonder.
But remember — McClain hit his homers off Pittsburg, and IN Colorado.
We’ll need a little more proof that Sabean utterly goofed this one.
I kind of agree, but...
Hitting more home runs than anyone else on this punchless team does not a contract guarantee.
The Giants have a goal
and it doesn’t involve winning
Only 835 games until the end of Zito's contract
It’s like the old Chinese proverb says:
When you’re a slave to matchups your team is going to get fucked in the ass.
It’s one of the lesser known proverbs.

Cantonese?
What does that have to do with baseball?
Canton is where the football hall of fame is.

GOOD IDEA
take out the guy who just hit the homerun
"I think I was the best player I ever saw"
Willie Mays, you ain't kidding
I left the McCoven cus this game was annoying..
just came back to say I love Pablo.
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
C'mon now seriously why did the Giants promote Dizzy?
Why would Sabes need to take another roster spot when he did not need to? Hope we do not lose anyone talent in Rule 5 draft this winter.
NATE!!!!
Love this guy!

Over the fence at triples alley, I believe
He crushed it

What does it mean
when the ball flies OVER the fence? I’ve never seen it happen this many times for us before…
Free kick for the other guys

Wow
10 Giants have hit their first ML HR this year.
Kruk is talking about how much HGH it takes to make it in MLB a BLB

I’m really confused. I’m watching a Giants game and enjoying myself. Is there medication to cure this malady?

The Ratio of line drives

Watching post-game wrap
I loved JT as a player, but good golly, that fella can’t seem to put words together without huge freaking pauses in between them. It makes him look kinda, well, stupid.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
On this glorious evening, let us be generous
JT is a baseball genius, who chooses his words with care and deliberation
while the listening audience nods off.
And why does it sound as if he's sitting four feet from the mike?
