i adopt Les Plack, D.D.S. for the following reasons:
1. greatest name for occupation ever (except maybe lesbian prostitute sharon bottoms)
2. i am hoping for free dental care from my son (if he ever hears of this)
3. the giants need him more than anyone because their smiles are all they've got right now

they started out
2-1
they won one game when Lincecum was a terrible and one when Cain was awesome.
//
Martinez’s shot to the face chanced the tone.
I am not sure if you are agreeing with me..? But I was referring to their play on the road trip. I am pretty sure that Martinez wearin’ one to the forehead has anything to do with how the team is playing since then.

Aside from quibbling about starting Aurilia over Ishikawa and bizarre line-up shake-up, I think this was a pretty good example of a bad team losing the game without interference from the manager. Still Fire Bochy.

Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
I can agree with that.
Someone touched on this in the thread but if the DBacks sweep I have to wonder if they start thinking about bootting the manager just to get the teams attention.

Pitchforks and Tar and Feathers Season (SUCKERS) TIcket holders!
Does your bill for Giants season tickets make you feel all sickly and clammy like you have the flu? Does your body feel like the insides have turned to water and are shoving against the exit from the rear?
What do season ticket holders have to look forward to? Bet that license fee is really climbing for your seats…Probably be giving a lot of tickets to charity this year….Too bad the kids will be seeing such a bad team for free….
WAAAAAAaaaaa!!!! WAAAAaaa!!! Who do we start with? Someone bring a rope and a rail. The Crab Shack will now be used to heat the tar and will be handed out to Lower Deck and Club Level ticket holders and feathers will be destributed throughout the upper deck and the bleacher seats. Please hold your applause when an especaillly good shot hits one of the team till the end of the inning…Remember Tar FIRST, then feathers….THEN tied up to a rail, to be tossed by season ticket holders into the cove from the out field walls!!!!

why the hell are they doing well when they’re supposed to be terrible? Fucking damnit- when we’re supposed to be terrible, we’re fucking terrible, we don’t surprise people.

"They happen. You know that, and it’s happening early for us," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I didn’t know we’d have a streak like this this early. There’s no question, we’re bad right now. Are we bad? No. But right now, we are."
No Bochy, we’re just bad.
Are we bad? No. But right now, we are.

Maybe "we're" not bad bruce,
but YOU sure as fuck ARE bad, and you’re bad all the time, not just right now.

Bad isn't the word....
SUCKY!!! Yeah. I think that describes it better. Bad is something you say for a game or a series…SUCKY is when you don’t win ANY DIVISION road games!!!! SUCKY is getting swept by the DODGERS! SUCKY is what you really are right now. Is there a French translation for SUCKY? EL STINKO is the Spanish version….
You know last year the nGiatns started 1-7 and were rather putrid. Funny i don’t remember Big Head saying theese kind of things about that veteran heavy squad.

I just imagined for a second...
that we replaced Bochy with Bonds as manager. It was an awesome second.

Can you imagine the media circus?

Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
At least it would be something to watch...
unlike what is currently being put out there.
If someone gave me even money on the Giants not winning another game this month, I’d bet they wouldn’t.
You just said what I dread....
I wouldn’t spend my money to go see this Giant’s team play this bad at AT & T right now…WIll continue yelling at my TV and crying in my own home…Swept by the Dodgers…..OI VAE….

I fear we are becoming the Baltimore Orioles of the National League: beautiful stadium, black and orange uniforms, perpetual failure with occasional brushes with mediocrity, and paranoia about territorial rights.

It would be nice if we had Matt Wieters, though.

Well the outfielder with a Greek name looks pretty good as well. Of coarse Big Head would insist on him being the 4th outfielder but that is anothe topic.

Um,
the Orioles are kind of good this year. And so are the Padres, and Rangers, and Royals.

Yeah,
but we’re shitty for…now and aren’t going to get much better. I’d rather have a little streak of fun where my team is atop the AL east (I am the world’s biggest Blue jay fan right now), than just having my team suck ass right away and all season long.

The O’s might have some pretty good arms on the way up. It probably will not help them much this season but the door is opening for them to escape through.

On the other hand...
we seem to have put a halt to the signing of whatever free agents aren’t picked off by the New Yorkers for the sake of signing free agents (a parallel to the O’s from which we’ve already apparently extricated ourselves). I just hope recent panic doesn’t coerce management into that familiar pattern once again. Many of us essentially asked for what we’re getting this year: filling holes in the field with potential rather than assured blandess (which we’ve received with Renteria, a relic from the Tucker/Edgardo/Moises plan). As ghastly as this season portends to be, I’m willing to sit through it for the sake of building a lineup that compares to the young pitching.

Lewis’ defense makes me miss the days of Barry patrolling LF at AT&T. Even toward the end of his career, he was a smart LF even with the loss of range.
You mean the days before Statue Barry, right?

Barry still added with the glove through 2004.
I’ll give you 2005, he added value but was only in 13 games. In 2006 and 7 he still was good enough to not contribute a loss on defense.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
Kevin Frandsen should be with the big team.
Giants team with problems galore!
OMG. Where to start: The whole left side of the field? We need a SS (who can field!), a third baseman (who can field a line drive!) , a LF (Lack of defense Lewis is starting to really be a joke!)
The best pitching in the world (Cain) will not win if NO one can hit ANYTHING….Johnson is starting to look like a white elephant…We did bring him in to win 5 games, right? I wish he would look like he could win more than ONE!
ZITO!!!???? What can I say that EVERYONE has not already said? YOU have SUCKED the whole time in SF….WHY DID we sign you for SO much MONEY and for SO LONG?
DUDE, please do what ever you need to (Steroids, hookers, maybe some old fashioned blow…) WHATEVER… PLEASE do something besides walk and hit batters….HOW about working HARDER? What do you want? You have more money than GOD! BUY some help, get some drugs, get a sports psyc to open your head….Go to rehab, become an alcoholic….SOMETHING….Jeeze…
Timmy L.s stomach is hurting because he knows that he will be tagged with a “Flash in the Pan” pitcher by winning the Cy Young. Timmy knows that watching BP is making his stomach hurt because the team REALLY sucks at the plate right now….I do not see how we can “Fix” the team short of blowing it apart and starting over…
I hope that Tim L. gets Cains attitude that (I will pitch a great game and still lose) life goes on, and he just needs to slog through it….Hopefully the front office will stop trying to emulate the Raiders front office in making HUGE off season (I HOPES) contracts….
Management: How about we DO NOT sign any more big contracts until we actually get someone who can deliver on the field? PLEASE?
You do realize that Lewis was above-average defensively last year, right?

How do we get someone who can deliver on the field if we don’t sign any contracts?

Per Baggs:
Turns out Lewis was battling a stomach issue when he struck out four times Wednesday. On Thursday, he walked twice and was hit by a pitch in his first three plate appearances. So for a span of seven plate appearances, the only contact was the painful kind.
Does anybody else hate how we hear about this after the fact? I mean, either Fred didn’t tell the coaches he was sick or Bochy put him in the lineup even though Fred told him he was sick. Why the hell wouldn’t Bochy start Schierholtz if Fred was feeling ill? And if Fred didn’t tell the coaches he was sick, all he’s doing is hurting the team. Everyone’s suspicions about the coaches hating Schierholtz grow stronger and stronger with each passing day…
It might be Fred. Remember how long it took us to hear about the bunion?

Players that hide injuries
need to benched/punished the same as any other disrepectful or petulant act (like punching wall or not hustling etc). If Lewis is fibbing to staff, he should be sat – for Nate, but since they hate Nate for Velez or Torres.

155 games back???
Look, the 2-160 record I’ll buy. But I highly doubt anyone in this division will finish with a 157-5 record.

Slept through the ending
My eyes were closing when they took out Zito. They opened a little bit to see the Mientkiewicz double. I figured it was best I just keep them shut & woke up on the couch a few hours later. Didn’t bother to check the final score as I went to bed.
