Why do people think your location has to do with your favorite team.

A true fan doesn't just pack up and like another team, especially if you were a giants fan and like the dodgers now :ugh2: :ugh2:

There is no ignorance in my comment.. I just love sports fans who don't understand the concept of a favorite team

just because i mentioned my move doesnt make it the only reason, and i also never claimed that this happened overnight.

i identify with the area, the lifestyle, and the people here more than i did there. i enjoy going to games more down here than i did up there. i enjoy the type of people who show up to the games down here more than i did up there. if those arent good enough reasons that i guess im not a true fan.

No, I asked why you drifted away, and you said because you moved away and didn't provide any other reasons :hsugh: It might be just me, but that leads me to come to the conclusion that this would be the main reason.

And :bowrofl: at "enjoying the fans" down there more so you are going to become a Dodger fan :ugh: It's about the game idiot. The franchise, the players, the coaches.. Of course enjoying the fans is great but if you went from Giants to Dodgers because of the fans then I will not respect or even honor any comment you have about sports. It's pathetic "fans" like you that make me wonder.

And who painted their face? :ugh: :ugh:

theres more to the game than the team, the players, and the coaches idiot. its also about the sense of comradery and community that the sport and different teams provide in general. and :rofl: at you not giving a shit about my preference of atmosphere. i know how hard it can be to imagine that someone might have different priorities and a different definition when it comes to something like this. how dare they.

and i dont care if you wonder about my "fanship" or not. ill always wonder about people who come off as having a radical emotional obsession over stuff like this in the first place

[iamthemovie]

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe checks in with plenty of rumors in his Sunday column.

Cafardo believes the Noah Lowry injury could cause the Giants to swoop in on Kyle Lohse, and could also get in the way of a Joe Crede acquisition. Lowry's only supposed to miss two to three weeks though. Kenny Williams says exactly two clubs have talked to him about Crede, but he's saying Crede may still be his Opening Day third baseman.

One thing that Noah fucked us on.

Rowand Still Hoping For Crede To Giants
The indefatigable Aaron Rowand continues his Joe Crede-campaign, hoping the Giants will make a deal for him now that the Dodgers have entered the picture. In an article in the Chicago Sports Tribune, Roward argues that Crede has played the last few seasons with a bad back and, now healthy, will put forth his best season yet.

''I'm just the middle man,'' Rowand said when asked how hard he has been pushing to be reunited with his close friend. ''I'm not playing recruiter. It's not like I'm going to [the front office] and saying, 'Get him.' They asked me, and obviously everyone knows what he can do on the baseball field. I told them, 'You're asking a guy that is biased, but I'll give you my answer.' God knows I want to play with Joe again.''

Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times chimes in,

"While the Sox haven't even come out and said whether they'll trade Crede this spring, all signs point to the third baseman's departure. Now that the Los Angeles Dodgers have shown interest in Crede, Williams can sit back and wait for the best offer."



Don't know what we can offer that the Dodgers can't. Maybe Aaron :dunno: we got him, they don't. Hopefully he'll want to go play with a friend

(05-10) 18:52 PDT -- The rumors that Peter Magowan may be looking to end his tenure as managing general big shot of the Giants have been swirling for a few weeks now, but it wasn't until the organization confirmed that the rumors have legs that they started to run.
Neither Magowan nor his manager/cut man Larry Baer has chosen to respond for the record (a possible first in the history of this ownership). Neither was on hand to watch Tim Lincecum dismiss the Phillies 8-2 on Saturday, which is not that unusual. On the other hand, vice president for communications Staci Slaughter, referring to Magowan, told Our Team's John Shea the other day, "He's 66, and has thought about it from time to time, but no decision has been made at all. At this point, he has no decision on that."
In other words, an era in Giants baseball may be coming to an end. We think.
If you don't mind a bit of statement-parsing, 66 has nothing to do with it, he is considering the hell out of retirement, the buyout numbers and other details haven't been agreed to yet and the future for this team is about to become very interesting.
But before we get to the future, let's consider Slaughter's statement, clearly approved by Magowan and Baer, in chronological order:
-- Yes, Magowan is indeed 66, which places him 17th on the Major League Baseball owners' birthday list, 26 years younger than Carl Pohlad (Minnesota), and 18 years older than Stuart Sternberg (Tampa Bay) and Good Time Charlie Monfort (Colorado). Point is, you can be really old and run a ball team.
-- Yes, we're sure he has thought about it from time to time as the era of good feeling has faded and he has become a ready target on so many fronts. Rehashing his legacy isn't all that useful now, so we'll save that for a slower news day. Besides, we don't know if he is thinking of retiring or his partners are thinking of it for him, either, because nobody is talking for the record beyond Slaughter's statement.
All will be revealed in time, along with the amount of money it will cost to buy him out (based on his percentage of shares and the current Forbes franchise valuation of $494 million, we're thinking north of $70 million, although it could be more if the seawall development across from the ballpark gets done).
Anyway, it is less important in the longer view to establish a price tag for his piece or to determine whether he is heading for the pool furniture under his own impetus than it is to figure out what the Giants will look like and operate under in a post-Petey world.
Sue Burns, the widow of Harmon Burns, who owned the largest single share of the team, could take control simply by virtue of holding the most stock. A new investor or investors could surface (the Giants already have 30, so what's a dozen or so more?). A new managing general partner could be named regardless of the size of that partnership. A single big-money operator could try to buy controlling interest. General manager Brian Sabean could take on more responsibility in a new regime. Magowan also simply could step down and hold his shares. The possibilities are as considerable as they are nebulous.
And so are the potential differences. A new owner might be better equipped and philosophically committed to spending more money on the development end. A new owner also might be less of a public a figure (in fact, that's pretty likely, if based only on the recent trend among owners in baseball and other sports). A new owner might leave the baseball department to run the baseball department without obsessing so detrimentally on star power and marketability. After all, good teams market themselves, and make more money than any other type.
On the other hand, a new owner also could be a grand smoking disaster - a profit-taking, publicity-seizing, visionless schmo. Say, like Jeffrey Loria in Florida, just to name one.
But now we're getting ahead of ourselves. Magowan isn't a past-tense owner yet, but he will be, perhaps as soon as season's end. And then the real fun starts, as it always does when an era ends.

SF really needs Lowry back in the rotation.

Cain is pitching pretty well in the 2nd half of the double header. Hopefully it lasts.

[iamthemovie]

sf really needs to overhaul this whole fucking team. for reals

[Alchemist]

sf really needs to overhaul this whole fucking team. for reals

I agree a lot of it needs help, but I think if the rotation was:

1. Zito (pitched OK as of late)
2. Lincecum
3. Cain
4. Lowry
5. Sanchez

It would be a very formidable starting rotation.

The bullpen needs to lose some guys as well, namely Sadler and Walker.

Wilson, Yabu, Taschner, and Chulk have been pretty solid imo.

[Alchemist]

As far as the line up goes, Lewis, Rowand and Winn have done well in the OF.

Molina has played great, but the lack of consistent production from first/third has killed SF.

Hopefully Bowker can change that, because I don't see Aurilla or Castillo blowing up anytime soon.

[haichiroku86]

Well, we're doing alot better than I thought.

yeah, they need to make a move and make it sooner rather than later

yeah, they need to make a move and make it sooner rather than later

Bring back Barry :o

But seriously, I think the move they need to make is unload all the old position players still on the team and just hope to finish 3rd in the NL West.

I'd hang to to Molina and Winn, but Aurilia, Vizquel, Durham, and even Castillo would be on the way out.

[iamthemovie]

good luck getting anyone to take them and give us anything in return. the way this team built is a joke.

[iamthemovie]

and also not having lincecum startin the asg is ridiculous too

and also not having lincecum startin the asg is ridiculous too

[Alchemist]

Lolz at the game tonight, both teams tried to give it away, but a win against the Dodgers is just a little bit sweeter than a win against another opponent.

[Alchemist]

0 runs over the last 2 games. Our offense, it is dead.

[haichiroku86]

So much for catching Arizona

[Alchemist]

Holy shit Barry Zito. Dude has actually been pitching decent the last 6 or 7 weeks.

I'm just hoping SF plays all rookies for the rest of the season. I'd love to see a line up that looked like:

1b - bowker
2b - velez
ss - burris
3b - aurilia (only guy SF has that can play here and Castillo is garbage)
C - molina
of - lewis, rowand, wynn (there is literally no one but wynn to play right, since SF's farm system is so bad :sad2: )

[Alchemist]

So much for catching Arizona

I'd just like to see SF finish in 3rd out of the 5 teams in the west since catching the Dodgers and the D-backs is out of the question now :hs:

[iamthemovie]

sign one big bat in the winter...

3 - Sandoval
4 - Big Bat
5 - Bengie Molina
6 - Aaron Rowand

:wackit:

next season's lineup

1. Schierholtz-RF
2. Aaron Rowand-CF
3. Sandoval-1B
4. Big Bat
5. Bengie Molina-C
6. Fred Lewis-LF
7. Travis Ishikawa-2B
8. Emmanuel Burriss-SS

for some reason i like this. There is also word that Robinson Cano is on the block. I think a complete change of scenery could turn this guy around.

I also just heard Peter Gammons say that we might wave Cain in front of the Brewers after they lose Sabathia and Sheets. He said Fielder and Hardy for Cain :eek3:

Biggest free agents I can see for 09 are

Hank Blalock
Carlos Delgado
Mark Teixeira
Orlando Hudson
Mark Ellis
Casey Blake
Orlando Cabrera
Edgar Renteria
Adam Dunn
Manny Ramirez
Mike Cameron
Bobby Abreu
Vladimir Guerrero

a few of those players have options, and I don't think we have any room for another outfielder. I really think they'll be getting rid of Winn by the winter meetings and by doing that they HAVE to call up Schierholtz. If they sign a big bat in the outfield, they might as well trade away Schierholtz because he is fastly approaching 30. I think what they need is to trade away Cain to Milwaukee or Detroit

[MikeZ]

I think I rather see Freddie Lewis (can't believe I forgot about him) lead off than Schier...I'm just not that high on him.

Robinson Cano is a fine player and gets on base well...the problem is that he hits in front the 8th and sometimes the 9th hitter with the yanks...he never gets a chance to score. I would be glad to have him with the giants, but I'm not sure what his price tag would be (lack of good 2Bers). Especially if we're going to spend some money on a big bat.

I hope we dont trade Cain, especially not for Fielder. We're going to have enough big dudes on our team (Sandoval, Molina, Fielder?). If we can get that big bat and if Sandoval + Freddy Lew continue to improve, Cain will get the numbers he so righteously deserve. The world has to feel bad for the kid.

Winn, I thought they were going to trade this year. What's he getting paid? like $8M? that's ridiculous, altho he has been playing pretty well. He should have been traded at the deadline to a playoff contending team. I hope we do get rid of him this off season because he's not going to be a part of the giants future.

The niners are looking to bounce back from the horrid football play of the past several years, I hope the Giants are next :x:

[Alchemist]

Honestly I don't mind moving Cain for Fielder/Hardy, or for just Fielder and prospects. I don't see them giving us both their starting SS and the starting 1B for Cain, even though his ERA is sub 4.00 and he gets no run support.

I would like to see that line up with the addition of player like Blaylock, he fills the whole at 3rd while also providing a solid bat in the line up. Injury issues last season may mean we could get him at a discount as well.

Can Ishikawa play 2nd? I thought he was primarily a corner infielder? I wouldn't mind a line up that looked like:

1. Schierholtz-RF
2. Aaron Rowand-CF
3. Sandoval-1B
4. Big Bat 3B - (Blaylock)
5. Bengie Molina-C
6. Fred Lewis-LF
7. Egueno Velez-2B
8. Emmanuel Burriss-SS

Rotation:

1. Lincecum (CY YOUNG)
2. Cain
3. Zito
4. Sanchez
5. ? (I am not sold on Correia or Misch as the 5th)

SU - ??
CL - Wilson

[Alchemist]

Franderson, Ishikawa, Roberts, another young OF and Ochoa could come off the bench or play if one of the starters is in a giant slump.

I also agree with you guys, Winn NEEDS to be moved. We can actually get a lot of value from him right now.

[iamthemovie]

Freddy in leadoff would be good, the #1 spot hitting .275 might not take us to that promise land we so desperately desire though.

I would love to trade Cain away, and the reason I think the Brewers might bite is because they are going to lose their #1 and #2 starters and don't have much to replace them with. They do have some good position fielders in the minors and can afford to lose them to have a legit #1. The Tigers also basically lost Dontrelle and Verlander hasn't been as efficient as they had hoped. Maybe we could get Placido from them. :shrug:

Blalock would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure he has a player option and won't hurt the market.

You would rather have Eugenio instead of Ishikawa? I'm pretty sure he can play 2b, either him or Ochoa. Ochoa's glove is 11ty times better than that of Eugenio Velez.

Lowry, :hs: who knows what we are going to get from him. Muscle compactness isn't that serious if you have surgery, yet he has been out all season.

I like Velez's bat personally, he always seems to come up with clutch hits. He blew a big play tonight from what I hear about the game though.

[Alchemist]

Hennessey at the 4 is a stretch to me, that guy is so "hit or miss". I wouldn't mind seeing him penciled in at the 5 hole though.
