		<description>not for nothin&#039; john bowker is 27 and never showed any real flashes in the show, &quot;losing&quot; him for bullpen help was a smart call.  27 year olds aren&#039;t prospects anymore i&#039;m sorry</description>

		<description>The Giants got two useful pen arms for players they didn&#039;t need. I like Martinez and don&#039;t care about Bowker.

More importantly, the deals enable them to disappear BB machines Cassilla and Bautista who were just hell to watch.

The team is positioned to win, and it&#039;s now up to the baseball gods.

Should be a fun 2 month ride....</description>

		<description>Unc Joe,

Amen to that brother. Will never give Bochy any credit...and Like I said Sabean was due to get lucky once in a while. Just happy he didn&#039;t make a deal that would shake up the chemistry...and give away the farm. I agree with you 98% of the time...just want to see everyone stress the positive for a change...and keep this wave going. Bowker is collateral damage...and in need of a change of scenery. Hopefully he tears it up with the Bucs.

There are enough facts to bury Sabean for a lifetime....Nobody would disagree with that...and his day will come.

I&#039;m following Gigantes baseball on a daily basis for the first time in ages...and this team has some magic working. I&#039;ve got a good feeling about this team....and want to dwell more on that.

Did not think Bowker needed to be dealt...just happy for him that he will finally get a shot...and it never was going to happen here. 

Here&#039;s to a sweep tonight.</description>

bringing in an extra pitcher in a short series killed the teams chances</description>

		<description>huff goes to prove that 90 percent of this game is mental

which begs the question....if being able to perform is tied to ones emotional well being, why does our gm go out of his way to bash and demean our younger players and those in the farm system?</description>

		<description>did you see me bitching?

im enjoying watching this team for the first time in 6 years

but facts count

and the facts are, the team still leading the division has a payroll that is a third of the giants....and as a result, they were able to make moves that truly improved their club

sabean...who spent 11 of his 13 years as gm, mainly drafting pitchers...had to go out and trade for pen help...and had to overpay for one

shoot...even the bums got paid to take lilly

i want this team to win...i dont want sabean or bochy to get any of the credit</description>

		<description>IF management had a clue, Sabien would have been fired a decade ago.  If Bowker becomes a 25 HR guy, then I&#039;m wrong.  I agree about not giving him or Nate a real chance.  That&#039;s really a shame and evidence of a misguided organization.  But I think it&#039;s that organizational whiplash that has hampered his career to the point where I don&#039;t mind getting a LOOGY at this point in the season.  We&#039;ll see.  I&quot;m sure we both hope I&#039;m right.</description>

		<description>Trantor,

Totally agree with your sentiments on Bowker. Do think he will become a 25+ hr regular someday. I like him...and because I do...am glad that he will finally get a true shot with the Pirates. He got jobbed by the Gigantes...and it wasn&#039;t going to happen for him in SF. Because of Torres success...he&#039;s fallen too far on the depth charts...and wasn&#039;t going to start or play much.

No secret that I&#039;m no Sabean fan...and maybe we could&#039;ve gotten a little more for Martinez and Bowker...you never know. Hope Bowker tears it up. At least he&#039;s not in our division. 

But, for the most part...at least Sabean didn&#039;t fuck with the current roster and chemistry...and damage any chances for this year. There are hundreds of reasons why Sabean should be let go...but, that&#039;s for another day. 

Just need to stay positive...and get behind this team.

It&#039;s ours to lose...and I do not see that happening. Winning can cure a lot of problems....</description>
