inglorious basterds is awesome
tarantino says its his masterpeice and i agree
whats up with wade
going past two innings again
I thought this was funny
That’s why I need to view or attend as many Giants games as humanly possible. After watching the team over the last week, I’m convinced that skipper Bruce Bochy is either betting against his own team or suffering from some sort of neurological impairment.
I don’t understand the batting orders, which fluctuate wildly from one day to the next and rarely take into account things like on-base percentage. I don’t understand his bullpen management, which combines the ride-your-horses sadism of Joe Torre’s approach with the I-could-care-less surrender of Lou Piniella’s. I really, really, really don’t understand the decision to keep the organization’s most capable backstop, Buster Posey, stapled to the bench at a time when the Giants lack anything resembling a coherent offense.
So for the sake of this column, let’s keep the Giants winning and let’s keep Bochy pushing the buttons. Without him, I’m nothing.

if he weren't playing out of position
he would be a better hitter. he has lost too much weight being in LF hence crappy power numbers. but the strikeouts are alarming.
He actually doesn't strike out that much.
They’re right in line with his MiLB numbers—about 25%.

we are very close
to being a .500+ team. very close.
With the current roster we are right around .500. It was the god awful begining of the year roster with. CSB, Hill, Greer, Giles, A bunch of bullpen scrubs…
This team is much different than that one.

i know
but since we got kouz, he is an offensive black hole until after the ASB. he should play winterball so by the end of spring training he is playing like he is now
it's easy to say "just start him earlier"
but really, there’s no logic to that. just conclusions drawn from stats.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
