When you enter this realm, you’re really delving into the unknown, Idiot’s and Bochy’s nonchalance notwithstanding

His agent’s insistence on a series of one year contracts and risking arbitration instead of a Matt Cain, Noah Lowry, low risk, low reward contracts tells you that he and his agent (and no doubt his old man) may suspect that the Giants have no intention of paying for the type of run support he wants or needs. The run support necessary to put up the kind of numbers to score the compensation they think is commensurate with his ability is not something they think they can count on now, or even in the foreseeable future.

That is unless the front office comes under new management.

Back injuries, particularly along the lower spine are complex, and hard to diagnose and fix. They can heal quickly or never 100 percent. Sometimes it takes weeks to get back to 100 percent, sometimes years, sometimes never at all. Again look at Eric Chavez, Joe Montana. Back injuries are just scary as hell.

What a fucking relief to listen to Hank Greenwald Jr call the game Sunday from Milwaukee on the radio. He actually called the game in a forthright manner rather than offer up a never ending stream of patronizing homilies over the wholesomeness and downright goodness of all things Giants. Right on through Howry making a mess before turning the game over to Merkin Valdez for Fielder’s walk off. He just called the game and let the game carry the drama without the nonstop cheerleading and consequent excuses and so forth.

It was during the radio broadcast of Sunday’s game that I came to realize just how jingoistic the Giants broadcast guys on Comcast and KNBR and the rest have become over the last couple of years. Its as if the team performance is not good enough to speak for itself anymore, but rather now requires constant explanation, rationalizations and promoting as if they let their guard down for one minute, the audience will turn away in disugust. Krukow sounds no different than Don Sutton in his salad days with Skip Carey in Atlanta on TBS or Hawk Harrelson on WGN. At least nobody took Harey Carey seriously rightfully dismissing his slurriness for what it was, pure shilling for the home team.

Krukow, and Fleming and Snow, Roberts and some of the other studio hacks not even worth mentioning have become a disgusting non-stop 9 inning infomercial. The only thing missing from Giants media events are Billy Mays and Ron Fucking Popeil, and a studio audience promised exciting parting gifts after the event is in the can.

The fucking Giants have become as faceless and feckless as ESPN and one long fucking car commercial. They have lost their fucking way and are as devoid of anything more traditional than Al Davis’ polyester hair and leisure suits.

And thats why I have a really short temper when I see some of the stuff echoing all the propaganda that comes out of Third and King.

the indestructable man has been destroyed by bochy pushing him too far

and while this org refuses to start guys like posey…sends guys like kfran to siberia, and continues to fuck around with guys like nate (on the bench again tonite), they have no fucking problem throwing in a kid who has never pitched above an aa level pitchers league

im rooting for madbaum to throw a no-no….dont get me wrong…..but tonite just continues to fit the mo of this entire org

and lets hope it is just back spasms and nothing worse

the med team of this org has a habit of misdiagnosing ailments

oh…and if timmy is gone for more than a game…say goodbye to the post season

Is front office stability a good thing? Of course it is. But everything can be taken to its absurd conclusion, and we’ve arrived at this team’s event horizon.

Do the Giants deserve credit for the development of Wilson, Sanchez, Cain and Lincecum, the acquisition of Jeremy Affeldt, the league-best pitching staff? Absolutely. While it’s easy to say Bochy or Righetti don’t bring anything special to the table, they deserve credit for what the team is accomplishing. I acknowledge that they’ve done many good things this season.

At the same time, Bochy’s handling of Fred Lewis, Nate Schierholz and the rest of the team’s young players cannot be explained. Leaving Buster Posey –the future of the team– on the bench for the last week, while the team is scoring 3 runs a game, is simply laughable. Benji Molina as a cleanup hitter, all season long, is patently absurd.

And Brian Sabean’s failure is no longer defensible. You cannot continue to explain away his failure to acquire good, young hitters of quality. And because of his failure, we will end up with the best pitching staff in baseball watching the postseason on Fox, instead of playing.

. At the time of the deal, Holliday was viewed by virtually everyone as a complete AL bust, a Coors Field fraud, and could have been taken off Oakland’s hands for table scraps.

There is no shortage of useful and useless idiots willing to make excuses for Giants failure. It is fallout from the post-modern idiotism that seems to permeate early 21st century western thinking, where failure is deemed to be whatever the perpetrator of the failure wants it to be in order to escape accountability for his/her fuckups, and the ability to convince enough like-minded paste-eaters to go along with him/her.

In other words you have no shortage of stupid fuckers willing to make excuses for the failures of other stupid fuckers because in their stupid world there is no failure, only differences in results where the only thing that matters is that all the participants get a motherfucking plastic jesus trophy (like a high draft choice or a Cy Young Award nomination) at the end of the day after the tire-kicking is over so nobody has to feel bad. As if life was all about ones hurt feelings. Who gives a shit.

Amazes me the amount of insipid thought processes people will subject themselves to, to avoid the ideas and opinions that will render their little comfortable world of baseball as they want it to be, a media-generated myth.

No, BTW – no self esteem issues here. Just an admittedly strange sense of humor.
