NO MA-nny! NO MA-nny! Come on everyone, say it with me. You know you want to. We did better than they thought we would before last season, and that was despite the acquisition of a 'great' outfielder coming off an awesome year. And that guy's defense was supposed to be good. If the Giants have ever been anything, its an organization of professionalism. Say what you want about Bonds, he didn't laugh it off when he misplayed a ball in the outfield. Robby Thompson and Jeff Kent didn't smile when they couldn't turn a double play. And Randy Winn and Fred Lewis will make it to first base every time on a grounder to 2nd. Anybody remember a Giants telecast about 20 years ago, a game at Chavez Ravine, when some bum of a centerfielder took his position in the Dodgers outfield, about the start of the 7th, with a lollipop sticking squarely out of his mouth? And the camera kept going back to it. I don't remember anything else about that incident, except how Bush League I thought that was. What if the guy has to dive for a ball out in front, is it going to jam into the ground and choke him? Or will he pull up on that dive because it occured to him too? Aint no Giant would have done something like that. Sure, Kevin Mitchell reached back over his head and caught a ball barehanded  at a complete gallop while picking out a spot to run into on the wall. He didn't let it happen again. What we don't like it guys who take tuesday and thursday off because  a leg is sore. You know you want to see Fred Lewis out there every day. You know you want Sandoval to stand in the sun and not in a shadow. You know you're rooting for Frandsen! You know we're going to be in the 25th percentile in home runs hit in the NL, and still win the West. Say it with me if you're drinking the youth Kool-aid. NO MA-nny! NO MA-nny!
