Fire Sabean

Today my heart was crushed. No, I still have all four wheels on my radio-flyer intact  And that girl at Coldstone did actually give me her number.  So if it wasn’t one of those two things, I know what you’re thinking..

And sorry to disappoint all of you negative nancy’s, but yes, I am still STD-free.

The reason I am disappointed and crushed is because for some odd reason Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy will be re-signed for at least another year.

The fact that these two still have jobs in an economy where people with PhD’s are working customer service windows at the DMV baffles me.

Put yourself in the shoes of Bill Neukom, the Giants Managing General Partner, your team has outperformed 99.9% of “expert’s” predictions this year and managed to have their best season record-wise in 4 years — despite the braintrust’s best efforts to run the franchise into NL West inferiority.

So why not keep these guys around, right? I mean if we’re going off recent success, SABOCHY is 12 or 13 games above .500 and even had the squad in contention long enough to milk some more $24 view reserve seats out of us.

Should we just forget about the 380-426 record the team has had over the last 4 years? Not recent enough? What about the sub .500 record in 1-run games? Should we just forget about the contracts that sounded like jokes at first, but then made us shake our heads in disgust when we found out that the only joke here was on us: The fans.

No way. I’m not forgetting the name Joe Nathan anytime soon and neither are the Minnesota Twins. I’m not forgetting Merkin Valdez squinting down Prince Fielder’s 450 ft. bomb as it flew over the wall in Milwaukee along with our chances to stir things up in October. I will never forget the sinking feeling in my heart when hearing that sport’s greatest franchise (OK, I may be biased) will continue to be led astray into an abyss of baseball disappointment.

1954. We better not forget that year my faithful orange and black, as it doesn’t look like we’ll be planning any late October road trips for awhile.
