Giants Brass Misplays the FA Market....Again

Sabean and Co. misplayed the FA market for the 3rd straight year (since the post-BLB era), this time we lose a compensation pick which is slightly better than having a mediocre player committed to big bucks for many years but not by much since we traded two of our top 10 minor leaguers last year.

Sabeans try this:
Step 1 - Pick up the phone and actually talk to other people besides Lou Seal (such as agents, managers, gm's, grant) to see if teams are interested in certain positions/players
Step 2 - Whatever idea comes through your little head, reverse it
Step 3 - Subtract 1 yr - $5 million dollars from all outgoing contracts
Step 4 - Offer half of what you had originally planned on giving up in trades
Step 5 - Fire yourself

any other suggestions?

First 10 scripted plays for SEA

cazzuno — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:35:29 -0000

Just had an epiphany....

Imagine if the Niners run the ball 40 times and pass 20 times vs SEA the week following a 40 pass/20 run. I just dont see how the Cardinals will be able to gameplan for the MNF game. They would have no idea what to expect from the niners (spread or the pro/i formations)?

So my point is I think niners should do the following:

Play one: Spread and Pass to give the illusion that they will see more of the

Play two -ten: I formation/Pro formation & RUN THE FREAKIN BALL down their throats

Seahawks D vs Rush:

110.7 yd ppg allowed

4.3 rush yd/attempt allowed

What you think?

Breaking News: Giants Offense was Horrible

cazzuno — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:21:27 -0000

Breaking news:

In 2009 Giants were a Major League-best 76-25 when they score three runs or more or as I like to say we were 12-49 when our team was so inept that we couldn't score more than 2 runs per game. Trade the entire farm system, the coca cola slide, the cable car, and Freddy Lewis...I dont care how we do it get some freakin gamers...errr....hitters.

Basically there is no point to this post except to point out what everyone already knows and that we only won 12 out of 61 games which proves how well our pitching did and how poorly our offense did last year.

Lincecum Velocity Down - Overreaction Thread

Lincecum Velocity Down - Overreaction Thread

Ok i know i know no need to worry about Timmy. If the guy throws in the low eighties he might still be sporting a high 2.0 era. But it comes without saying that a 25 year old who has already pitched 177 IP in 2007, 227 in 2008 and already 197 IP in 2009 is mysteriously losing 3-5 mph off his pitches. I like that fact that his command is up (2.5BB/9) but is it time to start worrying as we are chasing down a Wild Card/NL West playoff spot?

God i hope everything is all good....

Jeff Kent - Boo or Cheer

cazzuno — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:13:48 -0000

Jeff Kent on KNBR with Murph and Mac it will probably be up on there site in case you missed it....but the question is do we cheer him or boo tomorrow night at the Giants game???

He was a Dodger but also one of our best cleanup hitters (remember we used to have hitters hitting .330 with 30 jacks 100+ rbi). Memorable incidents include "truck washing/motorcycle injury", MVP awards, "Enjoy the game" comments on KNBR and constant Bonds arguments. He might be the only player in MLB still with a porn mustache & not on steroids playing between '95-04.

Its simple do i Boo or Cheer? Personnaly i am cheering

Dodgers Suck & Trading for Vmart & Lee??

cazzuno — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:11:17 -0000

Ok guys MLBTR has the f'in dodgers trying to trade for both Vmart & Lee. Billingsley/Kershaw, & Loney plus minor leaguers are being mentioned. Obviously Sabeans doesn't have the cajones to pull off a trade like this but I might be ok with that cuz it will probably cost a massive package like MadBum, Posey + much more

I am semi-ok with the trade expecially if the deal includes Kershaw, Billingsley, and Loney. Essentially they would break up one of the best young teams for two-three (hopefully) years of two very good older players. What do you guys think? Obviously this makes the freaking Dodgers WS contenders but even with that trade I dont know if it puts them over the top...and if it does i know a great Voodoo witch doctor

Athletes as Role Models??? Thats Crazy

Athletes as Role Models??? Thats Crazy

Usually pro athletes are the farthest thing from role models and should all be classified as douchebags. The only exception to the rule has to be Hockey players who 1) act like human beings 2) typically respect their opponents and sport more than any other athlete 3) aren't dumb apes who walk around scratching their nuts. So it was nice to read the following story from Affeldt. Go giants
