MLBtraderumors.com posts it FA predictions

Nick Johnson is projected by them to be the only one of the top 50 to sign with the Giants. As for his predictions for the Mets, it doesn't jibe with anything I've read this off season anywhere. He must think they hit the lottery.

RIP Captain Lou!!!

RIP Captain Lou!!!

Actually shared a men's room at a wrestling convention one time with him. Very nice man, and no I didn't get a look at his wiener!!

MLB network is currently showing Giants-Marlins game 3 2003

If you don't have time to watch, let me save you the trouble. Jose Cruz Jr.

It's not all bad news though. Arizona Fall League starts tomorrow!!! I think Buster gets the start over Eli Whiteside! I couldn't make 75 words and I really don't have anything else to say, (I have to leave for work) so I guess this post will never see the light of day.

Sabean takes on JPonry!!!

tells Baggs he never said during the chalk talk that he's picking up Sanchez' option. Unfortunately, she got the part about Velez right!!

Reasons to be Cheerful: Optimism Thread

I'm reading a lot of negativity, and I can understand it after a tough loss, but things are actually looking pretty good. Let me list the ways:

1. We come home tomorrow for the beginning of a nine game homestand. (We're really, really good at home)

2. The rest of the season is 16 games at home and nine on the road.

3. The Rockies have 13 games at home and 12 on the road. We kept hearing how their schedule was easier down the stretch, but that period has now passed.

4. We come home to play the pathetic Padres, and their ace is Kevin Correia! The rest of their staff is guys their own mothers haven't heard of. The Rockies are playing four with the red hot Reds. (is that redundant?)

5. Brad Penny makes his first start before the home crowd. (Notice how close he seems to be with Lincecum? How do you get a multi year deal? Become best pals with their best player!)

6. Three games left with the Rockies, and they're all at home. We swept them last time when our 1-2-3 starters matched up with their 1-2-3 starters. This time they face our 1-2-3 again but we see their 3-4-5.

7. Huston Street is out!! Morales is a good pitcher, but everyone moves up a notch and this weakens their setup innings.

8. Freddy Sanchez, arguably our second best hitter returns tomorrow! (in case you've forgotten we got him last month in a trade with Pittsburgh. He hasn't been seen much since)

9. Still just two games out. This could have been a disastrous trip, playing two good teams on the road, while the Rockies played two creampuffs, but we're still right there.

Anyway, I think you see my point. The Giants' are in good shape right now, and the Rockies needed to build a bigger lead than they have right now to have held them off . The wild card will be ours!

Dodgers cheat Diamondbacks

Dodgers cheat Diamondbacks

after suckering the Dbacks into paying Garlands' salary for this year AND his buyout, the player they are sending the Dbacks is going to cost them much more than they thought.

Lewis wants out

Lewis wants out

I'm sure teams are lining up to procure the services of a player who drives in 16 runs a season and can't catch anything other than a routine flyball.

Latroy Hawkins?

Latroy Hawkins?

all the teams listed here have better records than the Giants' so the Giants would get first crack. After last night's debacle, I can totally seeing the Giants giving up a way too good prospect to get this stiff.

He's back!!

He's back!!

Here's hoping he doesn't come in with the game on the line against any of our wild card competitors!

Gary Matthews: Dumbest announcer ever?

Is this really the way he wanted it to come out?
