Spring Training a.k.a. the birth of Sabean’s monster

So far so good.

The San Francisco Giants seem to be rolling in Spring and even Edgar Renteria and Aubrey Huff are looking pretty good, maybe this is the year Sabean silences his critics.. In the same breath maybe this is the year we get out of our national debt.

Sure we have room for optimism: A top-notch rotation, new acquisitions that give us a little more power, Pablo.. But none of that matters if our GM and manager suck more than anyone wearing a Manny jersey.

Sports Illustrated is at least on the same page as us, naming Sabes the 28th best GM in the league: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/tim_marchman/03/03/gm.rankings/index.html  you’ll find our boy on page two.As we hold our breath to see how the players develop, flashbacks of in-game mistakes by Bruce Bochy play through in my head.

A pinch-runner not subbing in; an obvious bunt-situation not so obvious; Merkin Valdez pitching to Prince don’t stand on first-base because it’ll sink into the ground Fielder.

We CANNOT make the playoffs with this manager and we WILL NOT be successful with Sabean at the controls. We all know when the Barry Bonds wall fell so did the smokescreen that made Sabean appear intelligent.

We know he holds onto his aging veterans while his puppet continues to start them (even though they are clearly injured and old). This cannot happen this year, we as fans need to make sure of it.

Go to the games with signs, heckle Bochy if you have 3rd-base dugout seats, write to your local sports guy at the paper. If they don’t see an uproar they won’t cover it.

We have a chance this season to make the voice of the people heard, no not on public healthcare, but on the health of our franchise. We’ve seen what the promiseland looks like and we will be back, but we have a long way to go.

We will make every effort to go out to the games and spread the word, but we need your help. Frequent the site, buy a shirt, paint your car. We don’t care as long as the media can get wind that the fans are not happy, not in the slightest.

With your help, this season we can finally Fire Sabean.
