    - Both - MoonMan 2012-05-21 01:55:17 (6 views)
  - He doesn't seem to have a 2 strike protect mode at all. i guess that's not all bad but there should be a sense of the moment. - miamigo 2012-05-21 00:38:01 (7 views)
  - I'm falling off the Freebelt bandwagon, they need a legit guy at 1st...No Pill, no Huff - MoonMan 2012-05-20 22:55:04 (21 views)
    - Sabean needs to get Mark Trumbo. Now batting .352, 6 HR, 17 RBI, .412 OBP, .611 SLG, 1,023 OPS - juan 2012-05-21 04:32:26 (3 views)
      - What makes you think the Angles are willing to trade Trumbo? - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-21 05:29:55 (15 views)
  - To be fair, from the radio giys' description, that pitch sounded nasty. - starburst 2012-05-20 22:20:01 (9 views)

Damnnit Belt, that's the kind of AB that infuriates Bochy - Rubber Soul 2012-05-20 21:59:37 (36 views)
- He has a ways to go to be JT Snow. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-21 01:37:44 (16 views)
  - Snow is a good ceiling - Rubber Soul 2012-05-21 02:33:28 (4 views)
- J.T. Snow had a knack for getting clutch hits, though. Not clear whether Belt will, at this point. - starburst 2012-05-20 22:18:28 (11 views)
  - i've never really understood the fascination with JT. good dude, good glove, - miamigo 2012-05-21 00:34:23 (19 views)
    - First of all, great glove, not good. Possibly the best 1B I've seen play. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-21 01:41:53 (15 views)
    - he had some pop early on w/ the Giants, hit 15-25 homers many times in his career - Rubber Soul 2012-05-21 00:43:02 (13 views)
  - True, I do think they have similar swings though - Rubber Soul 2012-05-20 22:22:21 (24 views)
    - I'll have to go back to watch some J.T. ABs. - starburst 2012-05-20 22:37:00 (16 views)

Sabean has made lots of mistakes, but he's managed the Cain, Lincecum, and MadBum contracts perfectly - one flap down 2012-05-20 21:32:21 (54 views)
- +1 - DJ 2012-05-20 22:11:36 (25 views)
- not really, lincecum and his agent have refused to sign a long term deal - fatal 2012-05-20 21:52:25 (30 views)

- Still getting strikeouts, but something isn't right - shikantaza 2012-05-20 21:19:59 (8 views)

great AB posey - mully asada no guac 2012-05-20 21:01:55 (5 views)

It's a good idea to bunt against Colon. He's a slow guy in terms of fielding. - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 20:34:24 (4 views)

That was risky but great aggressiveness - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 20:31:43 (3 views)

Sunday lineup: Extra! extra! Same lineup two days in a row (except Lincecum) - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-20 18:54:20 (34 views)
- Sweet...let's hope they give Boch a reason to keep it that way. - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 18:58:55 (4 views)

DFA Huff and bring in Lind?? Classic case of change of scenery??.. - Ghost Dog 2012-05-20 16:32:11 (76 views)
- Meh...good thought, tho. That would be the right kind of circumstance to pounce upon. - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 18:27:39 (9 views)
- That's a lot of salary to add. I don't see them doing it. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 16:58:12 (28 views)
  - +1. Here's Lind's contract - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-20 18:28:31 (44 views)

I really hope panda loses about 20 pounds before he comes back, guy looks huge right now. Healthy panda + posey has me salviating. - Method 2012-05-20 15:34:28 (13 views)
- meh he looks around the same weight before the injury - DJ 2012-05-20 17:52:14 (9 views)
- He's gained weight since getting hurt. Why? - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 17:00:19 (30 views)
- +1, it just amazes me that he still doesn't get it! Unless you are a Prince.. - Ghost Dog 2012-05-20 16:11:30 (49 views)

Blanco leading off and Crawford in the 2-hole is working. - juan 2012-05-20 09:13:12 (63 views)

Giants are tied for the 2nd Wild Card - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 03:12:32 (81 views)
- I am interested in winning the division! What do you think that will take? - juan 2012-05-20 09:03:08 (38 views)
  - Whoever plays second, it shouldn't be Burriss. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 15:28:28 (22 views)
    - +1. Should we ride the storm with Burriss/Culberson until Pablo gets back, then move Arias there? - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 16:12:07 (13 views)
      - Theriot is back soon too, right? - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 17:02:39 (15 views)
        
        Yea, although Theriot isn't very good offensively either - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 17:38:42 (10 views)
- Their RISP is still leaves something to be desired. - glass half empty 2012-05-20 07:34:36 (28 views)
- Let's not starting sucking each others...bats just yet. - Toe-Knee Arm-Ass 2012-05-20 05:08:32 (55 views)
  - Once they started playing everyone at positions they actually play, they played better. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 15:31:41 (19 views)
    - Totally agree Slick, a consistent lineup will do wonders. - yyyhenry 2012-05-20 16:09:33 (14 views)
      - I hadn't realized Crawford has been playing with a banged up hand. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 17:06:14 (13 views)
  - Find a way to get into the postseason. Stay close and find ways to win. That was the World Series year. - gwarriors 2012-05-20 05:49:44 (8 views)

I really can't say enough about the play of Blanco, thus far. - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 01:18:02 (92 views)
- Put Blanco in RF at AT&T. - juan 2012-05-20 09:08:07 (8 views)
- Catalyst. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 02:52:22 (46 views)
- he's been a tremendous addition to the top of the lineup, +1 - Rubber Soul 2012-05-20 02:37:55 (38 views)
- He has been a serious catalyst - MoonMan 2012-05-20 02:22:39 (12 views)
- agreed I love his walk rate - DJ 2012-05-20 02:21:57 (8 views)
- Second that, he's been phenomenal for us - tajackamo 2012-05-20 01:32:53 (46 views)

CSNBA:....Report: Hamilton expected to test free agency; Giants have 15/1 shot - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-20 00:12:23 (107 views)
- splash hit! - Rubber Soul 2012-05-20 14:16:01 (10 views)
- Josh Hamilton sounds like a HR bat that the Gs need to be contenders in the West. What kind of money will he get? - juan 2012-05-20 01:52:50 (25 views)
  - The only neg I see is that he did not go to college. Usually, they burn out faster than the guys who have a college background. Will he take a five-year deal? - juan 2012-05-20 02:03:03 (14 views)
    - Yeah, but he took a few years off to rest and - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 15:34:41 (19 views)
      - LOLZ...good stuff - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 18:07:39 (5 views)
- I'm pretty much completely over MEGA deals for 30 yr olds - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 01:32:03 (49 views)
  - Generally, I'd agree with that sentiment completely but my faith in the farm system has been deteriorating - tajackamo 2012-05-20 02:37:21 (31 views)
    - I guess I'd rather see them spend at a number of positions, as opposed to dropping their wad on one guy - JoeDaddy 2012-05-20 04:22:30 (27 views)
      - Depends a bit on a couple of things. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 15:45:22 (16 views)
      - I'd be good with that too - tajackamo 2012-05-20 04:53:18 (20 views)
  - 5 years 150M? At this point I like that better than giving Lincecum 5 years 100M. - MoonMan 2012-05-20 02:05:39 (40 views)
    - $30M a year? - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 17:08:38 (12 views)
    - IMO, the G's could sign Hamilton but also would need to keep Melky.. - Ghost Dog 2012-05-20 16:06:59 (21 views)
    - I'm thinking Hamilton will get a contract for at least 7 years and may match Pujols' 10 year deal - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-20 02:21:07 (12 views)
      - nobody is giving him pujols money with his substance abuse history - fatal 2012-05-20 02:33:33 (11 views)
        
        Length (10 yrs) not Pujols' money. Also I would think any contract would let the team void the contract if he does drugs or alcohol - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-20 02:53:42 (10 views)
        
        He's 30. Anyone who even considers 10 years is a fool. Even 7. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 17:12:09 (11 views)
- I can't believe the Zito deal is only one more year - shikantaza 2012-05-20 01:07:32 (10 views)
- If you're going to go all-in on a free agent, he'd be one of them. But you better know the risks and acknowledge the likely outcome in the latter half of the deal. - tajackamo 2012-05-20 00:52:50 (34 views)

That fan was a f*cking retard. Posey would have had another rbi and a triple, lol - Method 2012-05-19 22:32:51 (9 views)

w00t! Pagan and Cabrera have been great pick ups. - shikantaza 2012-05-19 22:30:12 (9 views)

- I'm glad for Cody. I like him. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-19 20:39:00 (59 views)
  - Ditto, but Cody had to be on some serious sh#t when he was askin' for a 3 year deal to resign - Calvin and Hobbs 2012-05-19 20:48:14 (9 views)
    - Agents usually make that call. And you don't want to undersell yourself if there's a chance. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-20 02:54:03 (14 views)

Todays Giants lineup: Blanco rf, Crawford ss, Cabrera lf, Posey c, Pagan cf, Belt 1b, Arias 3b, Burriss 2b, Vogelsong p - MoonMan 2012-05-19 18:01:11 (22 views)

Time to get a look at Brock Bond at 2B.. the dude appears to be a high OB% type player.. - Ghost Dog 2012-05-19 16:05:10 (83 views)
- why not. no real sense in keeping Culberson around. after Bond flames out they can look at Noonan too. - miamigo 2012-05-20 18:08:39 (9 views)
- There's no real minor league solution for that spot at the moment. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-19 20:40:52 (24 views)

despite the ugly strikeout I'm more and more convinced that Hector needs to be in this lineup - Rubber Soul 2012-05-19 15:52:53 (43 views)
- The G's should be resting Posey 1-2 days a week, so that he's fresh in SEPT.. - Ghost Dog 2012-05-19 15:59:07 (32 views)
  - I think playing Sanchez anywhere but catcher would be a mistake. - Earl j. Slick 2012-05-19 17:00:27 (37 views)
    - Gotta agree. - Hawk_941 2012-05-20 06:37:11 (9 views)

  - Repeating yourself over and over and over and over and over and over again while patting yourself on the back does not make you right, nor does it compel anyone to agree with you - tajackamo 2012-05-19 09:46:56 (13 views)
