A Slice of Optimism

PrintThe whole "Giants as significant other" analogy has been done. I think I’ve done it a couple of times, usually portraying the organization as an unfaithful spouse asking for another chance. It just fits so well, though. You have an interest, the interest hurts you, you kick the interest out, the interest comes back to beg forgiveness, you think that things will be different, and you let the interest back in. What in the heck kind of metaphor are you supposed to use?
The Giants are like that middle school gym teacher who says he’s going to leave his wife and move into your treehouse: Things get worse, never better, and only in hindsight will you realize just how disturbing things really are.
Stop that. This is a serious post. But after Monday’s debacle – remember that? Here’s a link to Purple Row’s gamethread if you don’t – a lot of us needed a break. Some said they were done with the team for the season; some just needed a couple of games off. It happens.
Everyone remembers the Neifi game, but there was another Colorado game from 1998 that was almost as bad. Fabled turncoat Jeff Reed blooped a single in a 0-0 game to give the Rockies a ninth-inning lead, and the Giants went on to lose their third in a row. The loss put the Giants three games back in the wild card chase.
Three games back. Hmm. That rings a bell….
A lot of folks probably gave up after that game. And there were logically sound in doing so. A three-game deficit with fourteen games left to play is a big deal. Still, the Giants were able to come back. The Cubs started to stink away the season, with Brant Brown taking six years off of Ron Santo’s life, and the Giants won nine of their last eleven, forcing a one-game playoff. The playoff was necessary after the Giants blew a 7-0 lead in the final game of the season, a game that would have allowed them to make the playoffs outright if they had won. Did you know that Neifi Perez also had a two-run triple in that game? Awesome.
Then in the one-game playoff, Mark Gardner served up an 0-2 meatball to a grassy plot of land that contained a decomposing Gary Gaetti, and the rest was soul-jabbing history. The Giants could have – nay, should have – just packed it in after they fell behind three games. But they chose to rise up and poke us in the eye with a flaming hot stick after our smores and our dignity fell into the campfire.
The lesson is obvious. Do you think it’s impossible to be hurt any more than you already have? Do you think Ryan Spilborghs sprinting around the bases, chucking his helmet in a fit of frenzied excitement, is as bad as it gets? Ha. Ha, I say. The Giants are in this thing. They’re just three back of a playoff spot with a month left. They have six games left against the Rockies, and three against the Dodgers. The team has every chance to crawl back into the divisional race, even. There’s a lot of baseball in a month.
All of the naysayers – myself most definitely included – were wrong to think the season was over. Last night’s home run festival was the proof we needed that the Giants will scrap and claw, fighting to make sure our eventual disappointment is even more complete. They’ll go into Petco Park, tied for the wild card lead, and they’ll score -4 runs on -16 hits. Or they’ll go on a six-game winning streak right as the Dodgers lose six, setting up a huge three-game Giants/Dodgers game that will feature six Eugenio Velez errors, five Bengie Molina double plays, four Fred Lewis misplays from the bench, three missed starts from Freddy Sanchez, two blown saves, and a seagull getting struck by a batted ball (a game-tying Giants homer if the path isn’t obstructed, but a ground-rule double as is) as he tries to find a pear tree. The possibilities of pain are endless!
The Giants are in this thing! I BELIEVE! This should be exciting. This isn’t over yet.

I agree. The Giants still have a good chance of climbing back into this thing to set us all up for another staggering, colossal FAILsplosion.
As I wrote in the top of the first on Monday
Prediction: Pain.
What else could it be? It’s Giants baseball.
Waiting for Giants and Niners to contend once more.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this post
Hopeful that I’m going to be even more depressed later?
Kevin Pucetas lurks in the shadows, waiting for his time to shine.
You will therefore be taken to [comcast sportsnet bay area], and cast into the pit of [the giants telecast], the nesting place of the all-powerful [suck]. In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.
On 5/7, the best part of waking is up LOLDGERS in my cup.
I have no idea how to react day in and day out anymore to this team. Part of me says we aren’t good enough, part of me tries to believe that we can still do this. Either way, it sure as hell is fun. I think.

Giants metaphor
The Giants are the family cat that has undiagnosed feline leukemia. Sure, sometimes Shadow can make it outside to do his business, but then some mornings you’ll walk into the kitchen and step into a pool of ammonia fluid. He looks helpless. He didn’t mean to do it. You don’t know if this was a one-time deal or if there is something really wrong here. So you wait a couple more days to see if any more symptoms present.

Or they’ll go on a six-game winning streak right as the Dodgers lose six, setting up a huge three-game Giants/Dodgers game that will feature six Eugenio Velez errors….

Kudos on the gym teacher line. It’s amazing you’re still dealing out the funny this deep in the season.

So I feel the need to point out what a huge help our deadline acquisitions have been so far.
Freddy Sanchez: .304 / .322 / .375 / 82 OPS+, 2 XBH in 56 AB. Only 13 games played (out of 25 since the trade)

Earlier I had mentioned that Abreu would’ve been a preferable move in the off-season. But I completely forgot about my Adam Dunn fervor. That’s not a hindsight move. He should’ve been at first base, poor defense be damned. He’s a plus offensive player on a team of check marks.

From what I understand, Dunn refused to play at AT&T as it was too much of a pitcher’s park.
However, that could have simply been a rumor.
This makes me feel a little better:
Adam Kennedy in August: .223/.228/.330
Orlando Cabrera in August: .275/.287/.402
Kaz Matsui in August: .176/.202/.271
Were there any other 2b candidates? I forget.

Sanchez still has moar WAR since the trade than Renteria has for the whole year.
And on the 6th day, God created base-ball, and Barry put one in the water, and it was good.

We can’t win the west without pulling ahead in the wildcard first.

Actually, the (fuck the) Dodgers and the Rockies to play .500 against each other may be the best thing…as long as the Giants continue to snicker win all of their games.
The Giants could leapfrog over both of them when they’re not looking.

Rich Harden claimed on waivers
Do you think the Giants did this to block the Rockies and the Dodgers? Cause, you know, the silver lining in being in 3rd place right now is that we actually have waiver priority.
Ginats claimed him?

no, he was claimed by an unnamed team. I’m speculating that the Giants claimed him to block the Rockies and the Dodgers, both teams desperate for starting pitching depth right now.
But if we actually got him, our rotation would be THE best in baseball. Sanchez as a 5th starter? Yeah…
Insanity is just a state of mind.
I doubt he moves, cubs would just pull him back and offer arbitration and collect draft picks. He is type A.

That means that we will be the same 2 games back of the Rockies that we were before the series from Hell. I guess I’ll take a stalemate after playing our last four games in Denver knowing that they have to come play us 6 more times.

back to two games out if we win tonight. We don’t even need to sweep this weekend if this happens, although passing them would be nice.

Hmmmm, maybe we did get him
CHICAGO — Cubs right-handed starter Rich Harden and right-handed reliever Aaron Heilman have reportedly been claimed off waivers.
FOXSports.com cited Major League sources Thursday as saying a National League team was awarded the claim on Heilman. The claiming team on Harden was not known, but presumably he did not get through the NL, either. Players must pass through their own league first before being exposed on waivers to teams in the other league.
The Cubs will have until Monday to work out trades, allow Harden and Heilman to depart on claims, or pull them back them from waivers. Harden is 3-1 with a 1.80 ERA in eight starts since the All-Star break.
The Giants, Rockies and Dodgers all are interested in adding starting pitching, and Harden would be an attractive pickup.
Harden is 8-7 with a 3.99 ERA overall in 22 starts, while Heilman is 2-3 with a 4.55 ERA.

I watched six innings last nite, then gave up. They pulled it out, but I’m still not convinced.

Not to get ahead of myself but...
2010 could be ok offensively, but i said the same thing about this year. this is what i’m thinking.
C – Buster Posey
1B – Ryan Garko
2B – Freddy Sanchez
3B – Pablo Sandoval
SS – Edgar Renteria (ehhh) maybe we could get someone else?
LF – This is where we sign a big bat. The only one I can think of is Jason Bay but he’s not a huge bat (improvement on velez or lewis though)
CF – Aaron Rowand
RF – Nate Schierholz
I’m just saying, it could be interesting…
Roger Connor was both active and nimble and did fully as well if not better in the fielding line than his contemporaries. -Sam Crane
Molina signed to a two-year deal. Posey comes up in September after hitting .374/.484/.599. Molina hits .240/.238/.377, but he holds down the cleanup spot with a ton of ribbies.
Freddy Sanchez hits the DL in April. Velez gets 400 at-bats at second.
Renteria stays healthy, hits .240/.290/310 with the range of a garden gnome.
Holliday and Bay re-sign with their current teams. The Giants sign Vlad to be their Statement Signing, but he gets hurt in March. Randy Winn gets a two-year deal.
Rowand hits .260/.310/.390 as his skills visibly leak out of his ears
Schierholtz hits against a lot of righties, as Winn is now his platoon partner.
John Bowker is removed from the 40-man in the spring to make room for NRI Darin Erstad.
