Giants Desktop Calendar Fail

I come into work this morning an today's Giants trivia on my handy Giants Desktop Calendar is "Which three players did the Giants send to the Minnesota Twins to acquire catcher A.J. pIerzynski on November 14, 2003?"

WHY!?

I’ll go to see every game, even if I have to cut work. Only I wish it was the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Quote from a man on the S.F. street in the Chronicle's 1957 article on confirmation that the Giants were moving to town.

Genovese, perhaps baseball's most notable living amateur scout, was sitting in the aging easy chair in his tiny North Hollywood home recently when he received a solemn phone call from one of his Dodgers bosses.

He was thereby informed that his annual part-time salary was being slashed.

From $18,000 to $8,000 -- a 56% pay cut.

Genovese nearly fell over his new cane.

"I knew with the divorce there might be trouble over there, but I never thought it would be like this," he said.

Genovese was told his salary was being whacked because of "budget cuts," and, sure, why not?

It sounds like the Giants and Mets will be the main competitors for Molina's services."

Ugh. Please no.

XAVIER NADY: Being a Bay Area native, I see the Giants as a legit suitor for him. The Giants would surely give him a three year deal. Sure up RF, then look to LF and 3B maybe? "

I don't like this notion at all.

Akinori Iwamura- what could have been

I have to admit, I find it interesting that the Pirates may not have to give up much for Akinori Iwamura. The idea of Sanchez at third (where he was during his excellent 2006), Iwamura at 2nd, and Pablo at first ALMOST makes me able to stomach Renteria at short.

"Giants name Hensley Meulens as their new hitting coach today. Meulens spent last season as the triple-A hitting coach for Fresno Grizzlies."

Is this a good thing?

"I have an in with Jeff Moorehead (Moorad??), and Bengie Molina is not coming back"

Disclaimer: This was said by Gary Radnich. I realize no one, including me, gives a 5 what this guy says or thinks. But I did catch this quote on the way over the bridge this morning. Not surprising...although, I am worried that it means he IS coming back, since Gary is completely out of touch.
