“I read the article and the guy really has no argument. He just rambles on about how the Giants have screwed up so many times before. Nothing but an angry Giants fan.”

Typical little bitch-hissing from the opera singers, art students and convenience store clerks who don’t know shit about shit, but are compelled to spittle all over a blogsite when their pseudo-intellectual smugness gets crushed by somebody who actually knows what he is talking about, and has the actual cojones to hit the jackasses who run the Giants over the head when they try to bullshit the public.

The Giants are actually pretty good punching bags and provide a target-rich environment for ridicule, humiliation, and disparagement in general. But they are not alone, and only make up 20 percent of the long playing professional sports farce consisting of themselves, the Warriors, Raiders, A’s and Niners.

There is no sanity when it comes to the Giants front office or the jerk-off opinionators in the blog-o-smear, and the kiss asses who comment on their blogs .

But alas, I digress.

Most of the Giants sycophantic followers, blog trolls, season-ticket losers, and stat skanks, have become so brain numbed by the putridity of the Giants, they can actually look at guys like Winn, Rowand, Roberts, Howry, and now the broken down lost 2 steps Pedro Feliz Edgardo Alfonso Ray Durham replacement, formerly known as Edgar Rentaria and see “positive movement and a step in the right direction”. Sabean’s comments defending his latest acquisitions are just retarded. He should just shut up and stop reminding people how much of a lobotomy candidate he really is.

Signing Howry and Rentaria is more of the same maggot infested roster stuffing that Sabean and his crack team of 19th century statisticians indulge in every off-season. The trouble with the Giants owners is they subscribe to the imbecilic notion that spending money on pseudo-talent that has “Q” rating and trying to pimp it off as a “ballpark experience” is “good baseball”. Fucking retards. Its not even good marketing. Hell, its not even good bullshit anymore.

Any ball club that has to promote fill-in outfielders, like Rowand, Winn and Roberts and a washed up Nancy-boy, skirt wearing, poo-flinging Barry Zito as “stars” is a fucking embarrassment. Fuckers. I wouldn’t take a hundred bucks to sit through 3 hours of that kind of torture in cramped seats with quiche eating skirt lifters, trying not to puke from the stench of the shit garlic potatoes that smell like the old rendering plants further south on third street, much less pay for the privilege.

Frankly, I am more interested in the outcome of the Bonds Witch Trials than I am of the 2009 Giants season. There is certainly more talent involved, not to mention passion.

you dont pay 9 million per for a stopgap….you get a servicable journeyman for half the price

or you stay with omar for 2 mil per…and he mentors the kids

you are just plain nuts

this team is not gonna compete next season…no way, no how

P.S. You are way too focused on the basic stats Renteria and Howry put up last year. If you look at the stats that are actually more predictive (K/BB ratio and line drive percentage) you see that these players are actually still the same players they have always been they were just unlucky in 2008. Only old school thinkers that focus almost exclusively on ERA for pitchers and batting average for hitters agree with you.

As for the quoted scout he probalbly just say Renteria in the first half before he got back in shape and allowed his opinion to be set then. Sabean has changed his ways. He did a much more careful and complete evaluation of these players then you show any willingness to even consider.

THIS TEAM NEEDS TOP QUALITY BATS!!!!!

Where are they? Who are they? How can we afford them when we are spending an average of $10 million per season for Winn, Rowand and Renteria, three 12 home run .340 OBP, 30-something nediocrities?
