Carney Lansford is a moron….Look at Pedro Feliz these days if you want to see what a good hitting coach can do
I’m not blaming carney for how pedro used to be. My point is that a good hitting coach can make a guy better
Feliz still sucks. This career year has him at a .752 OPS, and that’s with playing half his game in Philadelphia

Feliz is in a much better lineup and plays in Citizen’s Bank Park half the time.

FWIW, the Pirates are already into their bullpen right now in the 5th inning.

Adopted Giant: Daryl "Dealio" Maday - 3.66 ERA, .275 BAA, crappy 1.66 K/BB ratio in Norwich. OK.
May 23rd at Seattle...8th inning, 2 outs
after scoring only 5 runs in their previous 6 games (and 8 innings until that point), they put up a 5 spot against the Mariners.
they then went 15-6 after that.
whatever that was, the giants need that again. like, ten minutes ago.
Of course, come to think of it, it didn't help HIM much.

Fred Lewis takes over league lead in
being a runner in snoring position.
This last week sucked
Work was stressful, we were trying to rent a house but we didn’t get it, and my girlfriend moved away. If the Giants would have won at least 1 series on this road trip, I would be fine. Now it’s time to drink heavily.
The 1st pitch is the best
The time to drink heavily is tomorrow night, beginning at 5:30, at Zeke’s.

Kruk: “The guys who come up from Fresno have done NOTHING. Nothing.”
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
He’s right, but when is he going to criticize the veterans? He needs to be fair. How about saying Molina has sucked since May? How about saying that Winn can’t get a clutch hit? How about saying Aurilia is washed up? Don’t hold your breath. The veterans can do no wrong.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
they need to do more than turn it up a notch
they need to stop being awful.
Rowand = complete waste of money
Winn = sucks
Molina = brain dead, swings at slop
Auriellia = never should have been brought back
Uribe = terrible, huge hole in swing
These guys bring absolutely nothing to the table. It is an inidictment of our management team that a few of them are even on the roster.
I’m watching Sunday Night Baseball and I was looking up Rick Porcello’s stats. I didn’t realize he was making $2,095,000 this season (according to ESPN.com). So he makes three times what the reigning NL Cy Young winner is making (yes, Lincecum will sprint by that amount in the off season). But a rookie making that much money?
He demanded a lot and got a lot, which was why he fell so far in the first round. Is he a Boras client?
