BRAKING NEWZES!!!

Most of you probably got this... the Giants website sent out an open letter from Sabes on the season and the upcoming offseason. Nothing particularly interesting, but give it a read if you haven't already.
Protip: At the end, he says ON BASE PERCENTAGE!!!!!! HALLELUYAH!!!! Sorta.

I wonder if he realizes that NL lineups have eight hitters. Nine if you count the pitcher. Not five.

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

I could see him reading this out loud and leaning over to ask, “On base percentage? Is this right?…It is? OK, whatever you say nerd.”

Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at a position to be determined.

Just checked: not the first Newsies mention, but definitely the first quote.

From a link in the comments, we get this:

“If you want an interview with (Giants senior vice president and general manager) Brian Sabean, I’m not your guy,” Brisbee said. “If you want to read someone who is going to find a way to compare Marquis Grissom to Bea Arthur, that’d be me.”

I think we’ve finally gotten to the root of howie’s obsession

Why do San Francisco teams insist on having terrible offenses? Frank Gore and Pablo Sandoval can't do it all.

Where does it say you gotta live an’ die here?
Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break?
