I'll try to post pictures when it's complete, assuming I don't get murdered in that part of town.

This is why you can't listen to anything they say. You hear Sabean and Baer say "pitching, pitching, pitching," then you see they're open to trading Sanchez to raise some money for offense. Not saying they shouldn't be doing this, just that you can't believe them. Maybe this is why they locked up all the relievers. WIth Zito as the fifth starter, you'll be blowing though them early and often.

One of the greatest wrestling stars of all time. Considering we're all going to die tonight at 6pm anyway, (is that east coast or west coast time?) we'll be with him soon. In case you didn't know Randy was a minor league ball player, I believe in the Cardinals organization before he turned to wrestling. His father and brother were also wrestling stars as well.

One more year at 6 million dollars? I don't have a problem with this. In related news, Tim Alderson served me my breakfast at McDonald's this morning. Since he started working there they no longer call it fast food though. It's more reduced velocity food. Sorry, it's even early on the east coast!

Luis the cab driver back at it again. Tim swears it's not him, and told Baggs the guy should cut his hair if he doesn't like the comparison!

Minor league deal, no harm here. The Dodgers were interested, so I'm glad that unlike certain infielders, he chose the Giants over a comparable offer from the Bums.

Never heard of these awards, but we scored five winners. Tim Lincecum MVP of post season, Buster Posey rookie of the year, Brian WIlson closer of the year, and awards to our favorite couple, Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean. The first four winners expressed their excitement, but for some reason they were unable to reach Sabean on the phone to let him know he won.

Yes, please. Good move for the Giants as it gives them another left handed bat who knows how to get on base. They would also be out from his deal after one year. He can platoon with Burrell until Belt is ready. It's also mentioned here that the Giants might look to move Nate. Can't imagine he'd have much value. At least it shows that Sabean isn't asleep this offseason, resting on his world championship laurels.

Welcome back, Waldis. It's always nice to see an ex-Giant player return to the franchise after a long absence.

The shocking news is actually that he's also interested in Matt Diaz, who never played for the Giants.

I guess the Padres liked being at the bottom of the NL west and have decided to go back there. It's one thing to trade a good player for some top prospects, but this guy is a young bona fide super star, and the Padres will stink for years because of this trade. Looks like next year's wildcard will come from the west!

Wow, we just lost Uribe. How's he going to feel when he's handed his ring on Opening Day wearing a Dodger uniform? More importantly, how are WE going to feel? I will cheer him in the pre game introductions, and then the fat bastard can go screw himself!

since this is a load of bullcrap, let me just add an RIP for the great Leslie Nielson. Since most of you McCovey guys are not old farts like me, you may not know that part of the thing that made his role in "Airplane" so funny was that up until then he had been always been a serious actor. Then again, most of the actors in that movie could say the same thing, such as Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, and William Shatner. And if you're wondering why I am talking about Leslie Nielson in a fan shot about Derek Jeter, it's because I have decided to rxmeister myself.

What a classy organization. It wasn't enough to break Brooklyn's heart by moving the franchise, but they apparently think they have some sort of permanent ownership of the word "Brooklyn." Screw them!!!

If this was another year, we'd be looking at the AFL like it was all the baseball left, but the success of the big team has caused it to be overlooked. That hasn't stopped our future star, Brandon Belt, who just continues to hit wherever he goes. Keith Law stopped looking at the major league playoffs long enough to send two more tweets about Brandon last night, saying he can "flat out hit" and how he continues to hit to all fields with power. It will be interesting to see if the Giants make room for him right off the bat next year, or start him off at Fresno. I expect the latter, with an early Posey like callup.

The Mets invited Lady Gaga to their game yesterday, and surprisingly, she acted like a diva.

Hank Schulman confirms the arrival of Pat The Bat and then tells us something we already know about his baseball acumen.

What 'chu talking 'bout? Sorry to hear though. He sure seemed to have a sad life after "Different Strokes." RIP Gary.

As happy as I am to see Medders temporarily off the team, why do they call up another wild relief pitcher? One of the few things I like about Bochy is that he hates relief pitchers who walk batters. Enjoy Casilla, Bruce.

Bochy is considering skipping Welley's next start due to the day off. There's also a chance that either Hackey or Bumgarnery is going to come up to replace him. If they're going to skip a home start for him, they certainly don't want him to take his next start on the road, where he's been horrendous. If it were up to me, I wouldn't dump him though. As bad as he is, he's better than Medders. Move him to long relief, and dump Medders.

Jeez, Santonio, can you please stay out of trouble? I know you already have a Super Bowl ring, but the rest of the Jets would like one too. I hope Goodell doesn't add to his suspension.

McCovey Chronicles Sabean's gotta go!!!

     I see a lot of complaining about Bruce Bochy and his stupid lineups, and there's no doubt he's an idiot, but what choice does he really have?  I mean, look at the lineup we'll be facing tonight and ask if Bochy was their manager, would he screw it up?  The answer is no.   Even a dope like Bochy would know to put the good fast hitters at the top of the lineup, the good power hitters in the middle of the lineup, and the lesser hitters at the bottom.  The problem is that when Bochy makes out the lineup card, he has one good hitter and seven pieces of shit to choose from. Any way he goes is the wrong way. 

     Which brings us to the guy who provided him with these players. Every off season and every trade deadline he's given the same mandate. IMPROVE THE OFFENSE.  Every year he fails to do it. This year he signed an FA first baseman on the downside of his career,  a second baseman in worse shape than Bret Michaels, (too soon?) and a player with a wrist that he says might never be 100 % again, and even if it was, he's a useful utility guy at best, yet he bats fifth and plays a corner outfield position.  He's given enough money to improve the offense, yet he fails to do it. He's also a liar who insults the intelligence of the fans and questions the integrity of his players. His knocks at Madison Bumgarner were unfair, the guy's sister died this offseason. Excuse him for not working out with the zeal that he should have done. Yesterday, Brad Penny exposed him again.  Sabean made it sound like the Cardinals outbid the Giants by just a couple of dollars, and Penny left us for err, Pennies. Yet Penny said after the game if the money was even close he would have stayed with the Giants, but the Giants' bid was far short of what he got from St. Louis.   In addition to incompetence, the guy is shifty and full of it. 

      That's why I'm telling The Big Bowtie to wake the fuck up and fix this problem before this year's deadline, when the guy further guts our farm system for more hitters who can't hit.  Right now our farm system is Buster Posey and a lot of highly regarded guys hitting .210. Where's the future stars we thought Sabean drafted? This guy's done nothing right, and it's time to cut him loose. Even better would be if the GM comes in and realizes he has no use for this manager either. I'm tired of saying Matt Cain pitched well enough to win, Jonathan Sanchez pitched well enough to win, Todd Wellemeyer pitched well enough to errr, never mind, he was another FA sign by Sabean. By next week we'll probably add Zito and Timmy to the list of hard luck losers. It's time for Sabean to go. He's been here forever and there ain't no rings on anyone's fingers.

Pretty obvious that Barry will make a great hitting coach one day. I wonder if he'll be blackballed from that too.

This would probably be good news for whoever the Giants open the season with, wouldn't it?

Not surprised at all if a few Mets players are using HGH. I posted my suspicions about Carlos Delgado two years ago when he went from about to be released to the hottest hitter in the NL. David Wright has showed up in Mets camp this year built like a brick shithouse. In other LOL Mets news, they gave Kelvim Escobar a guaranteed 1.3 million dollar salary after missing two years with a bum shoulder, and after passing a team physical he showed up in camp barely able to lift his arm.

MLB network is going to televise the the Giants' town hall meeting that took place recently on Sunday. 12:30 PM EST is 9:30 in the morning to you guys, so maybe you want to TIVO it.

Hate to see one of my favorite ex-Giants' ripping another, but it has to really bother an ex-player if he played the game clean.

What? You actually thought that Buster Posey would be the Giants' starting catcher in 2010?
