Just testing it out, to see which sounds more natural.
I’m so glad the Giants were kind enough to extend the Phillies winning streak three games in the last series but try to end the Pirates losing streak in game 1. What nice hosts they are.
I wonder if Zito would
trade the rest of the salary he is due for a minor league franchise. He could be an owner/player and teach yoga to the AAA’ers.
I'm not even angry anymore.
I’m just quietly frustrated and slowly losing any semblance of confidence or hope this team might make the postseason.

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Offense is down across the board this year.
Matt Cain’s 3.00 ERA is good for ERA+ of 122.
In 1996, Bill Swift has a 5.40 ERA. His ERA+ was 99. (yes, he pitched home game at coors)

Will the Giants DFA any of the following before 2012?
Rowand
Zito
Huff
I think I would most like to see Huff DFA to make room for Belt. Rowand has some value as 5th outfielder. Zito maybe as 6th starter/long reliever
Rowand has no freaking value whatsoever
mainly because that asshole Bochy will continue to play him even though he completely sucks.
Fucking out machine.

Neither does Huff
And what about Belt next year?
Huff is better than Rowand
Rowand is a platoon player/5th outfielder that is treated as a starter by Bochy. Huff has a bit more value than that.
Belt should be starting now.
That is my point
Belt will have a hard time cracking line up with Huff around. If the Giants can pick up a good outfielder over winter, Rowand will be relagated to 5th OF role. Huff provides no value whatsoever as 1B who can’t hit
they all suck
Rowand will never be a 5th outfielder under Bochy.

Why does that asshole Bochy keep running him out there?
seriously, he is fucking terrible. Same thing with Cabrera. At least with Whiteside there is no other better option.
I cannot stand Bochy.
That's our Rowand!

It is amazing to me that this team
hasn’t been shut out more often.
You do have to wonder if there's a problem with the batting coach
Why is it that players come to the Giants and then get much, much WORSE?
Kuip-Cabrera's gonna go and the Pirates don't care
well there ya have it

Kruk and Kuip:
“Rowand must have taken 400 swings today.”
God, to be that bad even though you work so hard. Have some character and just hang ’em up.

Hey Brian Sabean, Bochy, and Giants offense

Black Swan was pretty awesome
"They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." ~ Gaylord Perry
first two runners on, and on comes
Cabrera, Rowand, and Whiteside
What a terrible job by Bochy and Sabean. I can kind of understand Whiteside, but those other two do not belong in a major league lineup.
Was Huff boo'd after that last strike out?

As I noticed over the weekend, even the Panda Hat, fake beard wearing bandwagon AT&T fans are getting restless. It’s not fun going to the ball park, looking to have “magic inside” and then suffer through that Giants offense.

He was booed after both of his strikeouts

Why do all our best hitters get hurt
Burrell – even though Bochy won’t admit it, Sandoval, Beltran, Ross, Torres, Posey, Sanchez. Those are our seven best hitters and they all have missed significant time. We’ll see on Beltran but we all know about wrist injuries.
If Rowand and Huff would get hurt this team might be okay offensively.
look at the Rockies and the Dodgers....

I missed the rest of the game reviewing Mage: The Awakening vs Ascension
I’m guessing I didn’t miss much.
Hopefully it's minor enough
that he will be back soon.
Get well soon, Buster & Freddy.
Welcome to the Yiyants, Carlos!
Sprained wrist = DL
Just in time for Marlins/Braves and a 2-8 Road trip.
Nah, Bochy said he may play tomorrow.
Get well soon, Buster & Freddy.
Welcome to the Yiyants, Carlos!
oh good, so he can aggravate it and he’ll be out for weeks!
/facepalm

No, it’ll mean a week or two of anxiously waiting to see the lineup announced only to be disappointed when Rowand’s playing out there instead

The Giants have scored 399 runs
Good for last in the NL.
2nd to last is the Bums with 415
Wow. Just wow.

Hey
Nate went 3-4. That’s better than Beltran has done since we’ve had him.
Get well soon, Buster & Freddy.
Welcome to the Yiyants, Carlos!
What a quote from Bochy just now
Schulman: Did it look as demoralizing in the dugout as it did on the field?
Bochy: Yah, it was pretty bad. We looked flat out there and I don’t know why.
Torres .233
Huff .244
Cabrera .212
Rowand .245
Whiteside .210
Fontenot .216
GIDP: A Rowand, J Keppinger
Giants RISP: 0-10 (M Fontenot 0-1, O Cabrera 0-3, N Schierholtz 0-1, A Huff 0-1, A Rowand 0-2, J Keppinger 0-1, E Whiteside 0-1)
Team LOB: 9
That’s why.
Anything else is always something better.
It’s almost as if they don’t have any reliably good hitters available to fill out a lineup.
My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
IT IS BECAUSE AUBREY HUFF IS A TERRIBLE PLAYER
AND AARON ROWAND SUCK BIG FAT DONKEY BALLS. I WONDER THE MOTHERFUCKING WHY. YOU FUCKING MORON.

I pictured Mr. Hand writing "I DON'T KNOW" on the blackboard while Bochy/Spicoli looks on uncomprehendingly.

But Nate's got his swing back!
My big fellows, my Giants!
If you want to be in first place, say Bye, Bye Baby!
But fuck him
let’s make Charlie Morton the player of the game!
Get well soon, Buster & Freddy.
