An Open Letter To Sabean

Mordy From Monsey — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:51:44 -0000

Dear Sabean:

You have fecked us Giant fans over these last few years with nothing exciting to watch or talk about (Perhaps you thought aging ball dudes and Amy G would put us to sleep!! ) Now we finally have a core of exciting players who make the game interesting to watch again. Pablo,Nate,Ishi,Burris all add a dimension that this team has lacked in years and that is the ability to comeback from deficits!!

The Problem , Mr Sabean,is that we have a dumbass of a manager that will probably play the veterans over the coming series arguing that we have to put out a veteran lineup when we are playing teams in contention. The fact that Bochass feels that the vets give his team a better chance to win over the kids should be immediate grounds for dismissal!! I beg you, as a suffering Giants fan to call Bochass into your office and warn him that you want to see the above mentioned players in the lineup for every remaining game or else his sorry ass is outa here!!!

2 Out of 3 Is Awesome against The Hated Dodgers...

But how much longer can we watch this POS waiver pickup Castillo kill this team? On a team with minimal HR power, how on earth are we supposed to field a crappy hitting 3rd baseman( Oh, I'm sorry-He is a utility infielder..) who sports an OBP less than 300? You can't have a team slg avg of .373 with a team OBP of .315. That just doesn't work. The front office has to do a better job in either on of those 2 areas...Our pitching is sure fun to watch, but is it asking so much to expect our players to hit a ball out of the IF in a clutch situation...Castillo is my scapegoat...DFA him NOW!!!!!

Why Not Bring Up Travis?

Mordy From Monsey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:52:28 -0000

After watching John Bowker at the plate these last few months, I am getting the feeling that Bowker is just not ready for MLB pitching just yet and he could use some more seasoning at AAA, a level that he never experienced...Travis Ishikawa on the other hand seems to be ripping the cover off the ball and has had some Major League experience already. Travis is a superior fielder (some compare him to JT Snow...) whereas Bowker'd defense at 1st leaves much to be desired ( No fault of Bowker considering its a new position for him) So my question is why not send Bowker down and bring Travis up to the big team? We should use the last 2 months to see who can fit into our plans and right now Bowker just doesnt seem ready...

Why isn't Velez leading off?????

Mordy From Monsey — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:38:30 -0000

Why in heavens name does Bochy bat Velez 2nd in the lineup when the impotent Roberts is playing? I mean shouldnt logic dictate that the fastest guy in our lineup bat leadoff? Ok...We all know Bochy is braindead, but c'mon man...Velez is the most exciting position player on our team right now(Durhammy and Aurilia aside of course...). Maximize his use!!! There is no reason why Velez should only have 1 SB to date....

Holm as our backup catcher?

Mordy From Monsey — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:15:18 -0000

Now that GRod has been sent down and Eliezer Alfonso resides in Suckville (AT LEAST WHEN HE ISN'T PLAYING WINTERBALL) Can we please see Holm as our backup catcher? He seems to block balls pretty well and he has shown occasional power in the minors. Does anyone know if he is effective in throwing out runners? Holm for backup!! Cmon Bochy!!!

Messenger demoted,Steve Kline /Taschner next?

Mordy From Monsey — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:46:45 -0000

Now that we are apparently going with more of a youth movement it appears to me that Bochy will have very little tolerance with veteran deadwood esp with regard to bullpen mediocrity. With Messenger gone, how many of you think Kline will be next? Taschner to be replaced by Threets who is out of options? Im tired of watching hours of a relatively good game( few and far between when it comes to Giants baseball) only to be destroyed by some prick who blows a game with minimal talent. Give me a Valdez,Romo,Threets who at least can be dominant with their talent over Kline,Taschner and Messenger any day of the week

SS situation...

Mordy From Monsey — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:32:17 -0000

After watching Kevin Frandsen butcher a number of easy plays at short, I think Bochy has to go with his best fielding option until Omar returns, and thats Bocock. With a young pitching staff you can't afford to give up extra outs on a position that is a very important defensively. Opinions?

New Direction?

Mordy From Monsey — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 21:31:18 -0000

Keiichi Yabu has reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with the Giants.

Yabu had a 4.50 ERA in 58 innings for the A's in 2005. The 39-year-old will be a long shot to win a spot in middle relief. >>>>>

Good to see Sabean getting off his arse and finally dong something. For a second there, I thought the lack of any action indicated that we were going in another direction, but alas, we sign some obscure 39 yr old...Same old Sabes....
