Winning is Nice, A Better Team Would Be Better
That was a satisfying win. The one thing you can always count on with this team is that they don’t give up. And as a fan, while that should be the minimum that you get from the players you root for, it’s not something that all fans for all teams get game in and game out. So I appreciate their effort.
Having said that, we shouldn’t delude ourselves as we did before into believing that the best record in the NL meant we were the best team in the NL. And by 1 percentage point, we nearly have the best record in the NL….again. This is a team with gaping holes. It was nice that Jeff Manned the Ship that went down in Philly last night. But we can’t count on loser fringe pitchers to cough it up every game.
With the trade deadline quickly approaching, Sabean doesn’t have his “bad penny” excuse to fall back on this year. As usual, pitching will be the hardest asset to acquire. That has to have Sabes doing a slow burn because pitching is his favorite thing to stock pile. He doesn’t have the balls or the booty to go after David Price. I would think a more realistic target would be Bartolo “Two Slices” Colon. He’s pitching tonight, and I expect Pat the Bat to be in Seattle taking a look at The Man Who Demands Extra Mozzarella on that Shit…..
Bonus: the strip joints in Seattle suck so Pat might actually have both eyes and his brain on that game tonight…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Nice, Mac. Looks like quite a lot of Giants fans there too. what’s with all the noise on pop fly outs?
Philly bloggers really are pretty funny. The ones on cbs site are tearing Amaro and Howard apart. Lee and Papelbon didn’t exactly have *showcase* moments.
Zero argument in my mind over Bonifacio/Zobrist. I want the better player, not the guy released by the Royals.
Salt could be right, Rays might not do anything…though they still trail about 6 teams even for a WC. Like Pawlie, I like them better than anyone else in AL East. They’re less annoying version of A’s without the dumb beards, not spending near as much as couple division rivals, good mgr., crummy yard.
Props to Hector too, for having enough patience (!) to take the walk off Pap. I’ll take a leadoff hitter like Pence any day–he can beat out IF hits and slap a baseball 450 ft. Case closed.
And the LA juggernaut appears to have hit a snag.
