I also think Wilson is a tool, and not that good to boot. Phils had an awesome comeback against him in regular season last year to ruin a Lincecum start. Something was wrong with that lineup (injuries, or I don't konw what) that they couldn't get to him.

no, he was in "lockdown mode." it was like flipping a switch

honestly, he was scary all year. but, for whatever reason, the whole playoff run was pretty stress free. thank god.

He had a BS against the Braves, right?

The rest of the Giants' bullpen was a different story - sick. Mostly waiver claims & leftovers too. Don't get why relievers ever get big contracts. Bochy did an incredible job managing that bullpen as well.

No mention of the trimmed down Kung Fu Panda???

Looks like someone got the message, get fit or GTFO.

yet, if he was a phillie you'd love him . as long as he's saving games, I have no problem with BW. remember, we were in a bad place post-nen. ty walker, dustin hermanson, matt herges, etc.

eh, highly doubtful. I'm the guy that hates rooting for vick, hated rooting for AI, etc.

My motto for these types of guys...love the player, hate the person.

The dude can pitch, but he's a hand job

yeah, but that was bochy throwing him in there for the 6-out save, which I hate. he inherited two baserunners and his first guy should have been an out but reached on a throwing error. he only gave up one hit in two innings (a killer double) and struck out three. it's all good now, but I lost some sleep over that fucking game!

Brandon Belt is really making a push to join the big club from the get go. 2 for 4 with a 2-run jack today against the Crew. Not to mention his 3 for 5 performance his first start of the spring. DeRosa's also playing like he wants that LF job. Can you imagine if Belt was this years Posey?

I like Huff on the team. The guys personality alone is worth the contract they gave him, even if the thong is officially "retired." Rowand has to be gone if they decide to bring Belt up. There's no room for him on the roster now let alone if Belt ends up on the team mid season.

ah, a voice of reason. zito, rowand, huff, etc.

despite sabean, the NL West is wide open. And the phils aren't as good as the media is creating them.

can't wait for baseball to start

I agree completely! Well I think the NL West is open to the Giants and Rockies at least. I'll be waiting for the Dodgers to collapse in June. I think the Padres were a fluke and now with A. Gonzalez in Boston it makes them really weak. The NL East is open to the Braves if they want to take it this year. Sounds like Utley is hurting and it also sounds like Cain has some minor elbow inflammation. Oh boy!

I CAN"T WAIT FOR BASEBALL!

Definitely. Opening day is my 2nd favorite day of the year (after thanksgiving).

Will be interesting to see how the giants do. They were a weird team last year. The NL West should be solid this year. I know giants fans don't want to hear it, but I think the Dodgers are a sleeper team in the NL this year. Their rotation should be good. And they finally got rid of Russell 'the turd' Martin.

You are right, we don't want to hear it. . Their rotation is pretty much relying on Kershaw and Billingsley. If those guys don't win games consistently, then they are fucked! I think it's a stretch to call them sleepers, but that's the cool thing about baseball: anything can happen!

On a side note I saw D. Brown broke his hand today! Wow! Take that prospect off the list!

I think Dom Brown was a long shot to make the phils roster anyway. Ben Francisco is a better player at this point. Brown just isn't ready, so this could be the best thing for him in the long run.

I like the LAD rotation a lot. kershaw is a beast. billingsley is solid. then they come with lilly and kuroda. they have a nice, veteran rotation. I think that SF, LA, and COL are gonna beat each other up this year. The D-Bags should be improved too. SD is gonna suck. tough division

I hope the McCourt drama and donnie baseball's inexperience will be enough to fuck them.

Giants are featured team on MLB network tonight. 30 clubs in 30 days. 7e/4p

I'm not going to let myself get too hyped over spring training.....but it's looking pretty good down there

except for rowand

Being a Giants fan is starting to feel a lot like being a PJ fan. I see similarities in both groups. Giants get no respect from the media. The fan base has always been huge but never got any press. Were easily the most knowledgeable fan base of any team on the west coast. The fan base also travels extremely well. I myself have seen them play in 5 different ballparks and there's always a huge group at each venue. I was in DC in 2009 when Randy Johnson won #300 and the place felt like a Giants home game. I'm watching them beat up on Latos tonight in Peoria which is San Diego's home and it's probably 75% Giants fans. The future looks extremely bright as well. Lots of quality prospects on the way, a premier venue, lots of revenue coming in and the ballpark is nearly paid off. We own the Northern California sports scene and that's not going to change. Kings are leaving Sacramento, Warriors continue to be a 35 win team and the Niners and Raiders have stunk for a decade. I think were going to be competitive for the next 5 or 6 years minimum. Possibly longer if they can sustain a $125 million a year payroll, which shouldn't be a problem with the revenue coming in.
