I actually didin’t feel as down when we started 1-6 last season as I do now when we’re (presumably) going to start 2-5. The Giants threw out a horrible lineup last April. I figured they’d be much better this year.

I'm with you. It's an oddity, not a true achievement in itself.
Getting 4 hits in a day is great; 3 of them for extra bases is great. Getting 10 total bases in a game is great. But the fact that it is one hit of each kind is just odd, not an actual achievement.
Even MORE pointless: people who get all excited about the “natural cycle”— even more of a fluke.

we were supposed to have the best pitching in the division.

OT - Woodland Man arrested for threat on Pedroia family
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/04/13/state/n150255D01.DTL&tsp=1
“The American League MVP riled Woodland residents this month after he made disparaging comments about his hometown during an interview with Boston magazine.
Pedroia was quoted as calling the town “a dump” and saying everyone there wants to leave. He backed away from the comments in a subsequent interview with The Sacramento Bee, saying he had been joking and that his remarks were taken out of context.
Woodland Police Lt. Charles Wilts says it isn’t clear if the threat was about Pedroia’s comments to the magazine or about his older brother, who faces child molestation charges."

Agreed. Utterly.
I am in fact a very patriotic person. And part of being truly patriotic in a republic is skepticism of and reluctance about ritual that is aimed at reinforcing an orthodoxy. The national anthem before every game is one of those, but then to have it become ‘God Bless America’ in the 7th inning on Sundays and other special occasions… ugh. The John Adams and Thomas Jefferson would think that we completely missed the point.

They're terrible. Adams regretted them. They are the one blemish on an otherwise amazing life.
And they ultimately did nothing, weren’t enforced, repealed, etc. etc. etc. Compared to being one of only TWO absolutely indispensible persons to bring about independence from Britain (George Washington is the other), that overzealous and unconstitutional overreach is like saying the model for the ‘Mona Lisa’ should have been wearing a push-up bra and a different top— it’s TRUE and it would have been BETTER if it were different, but so what.

I remember at the beginning of this past offseason, the topic of Orlando Hudson—free agent, came up. My initial thought was that it sounded like a good idea. Then I read this thread and saw the error of my ways. Today (and sure, it’s just one day), I’m having second thoughts.
Groupthink question: Were we wrong to say no to Hudson? Was Sabean wrong?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Blow the whole thing up
Sabean needs to finally go. Bochy needs to go. Righetti needs to go. Lansford needs to go. This is an intellectually lazy, backward thinking franchise. Far too reactive, not nearly forward thinking enough, from top to bottom. Bringing in John Barr was a nice move but I don’t get any sense that it was Sabean’s idea. The attention given to their farm system was a good move, but it’s all too little, too late where Sabean is concerned. Anyway, the thing is, what I really me-e-e-e-eannn…(dang, what was I about to write? All of a sudden, I started hearing Elton John in my head) Oh yeah, I never get the impression that any good idea with this front office (and they are few and far between) is coming from Sabean.
I would seriously love to see some wholesale house-cleaning throughout the Baseball Operations dept. of the Front Office. I mean, OK, maybe Barr and Creech stay. But that’s about it. Evans and Shelley perhaps, but I doubt it. I mean, good grief there’s just a ton of dead wood throughout the Giants organization. Guys like Jack Hiatt, Felipe Alou, Ron Schueler, Matt Nerland, Tony Siegle, Joe Lefebvre… Just about every single one of these guys should’ve been fired eons ago, but Sabean doesn’t have the guts or the vision to do the right thing by this organization.
