That’s how I feel right now. Maybe I’m over-hyped but this game tonight just changed the face of this franchise. I’m like the exact opposite of Dan Gilbert but just as pumped.. WHERE’S MY COMICS SANS MS???
It was like a nuclear bomb blew up in San Francisco. Faces melted, hearts crushed.. Phil Cuzzi did it again.
Blown call or not, the Giants had to play and play well against the Dodgers — in the 2nd inning they had the bases loaded with no one out. I’ll give you two guesses as to how this one ended.
Nope, not a triple play but they did manage to score zero runs. Here we go again. The next inning Torres gets a lead-off double and again back-to-back outs..
He’s dominating in AAA recently but guys like Brett Pill and John Bowker can only watch as the guy who made quite possibly the two worst plays in the 2010 season is back.
Yup, 3 home runs 19 RBI and an OPS of .788 in 58 games is much better than 11 HR, 57 RBI and a .774 OPS in 93 games. Let me guess, is it because he has big league experience?
So what’s the reason for no Bowker..?
Not only do they epically make the roster move one-day after potentially losing a game because of it, but they give us Velez.. Again.. As for the “we need a middle-infielder” argument, Velez had six errors in 31 games and second base last year and one in 10 games this year.
Time to fire up the Matt Downs tribute video again.
Sorry Pill, Bowker and Matt, you have been Schierholtz’d.. But wait? My friend Hank Schulman said they could be doing this to showcase Velez.. oh boy.. even better!
We won't see Belt for about 10 more years Fire Sabean
Bruce Bochy doesn’t want to see a trade happen. Brian Sabean has been saying all along “we WILL make a move”. David DeJesus needs Jesus Christ in return if he’s going to be traded.
Imagine you have a job in the kitchen at Burger King.. Someone orders a Whopper and you make a Spicy Chicken Sandwich. OK, not a big deal, maybe just a misunderstanding — it is lunch time and you’re busy.
Now imagine for three straight hours you make onion rings when they needed fries, french toast when they needed a double cheeseburger and a Whopper Jr. when they needed the — WHAT THE FU%& YOU CALLED HIM OUT?
I just wrapped up the busiest weekend of my life, I was en route from work to my buddies house and I missed the call. I don’t know if Bochy got tossed but he should have. This was much more than costing us a perfect game — we lost momentum, a sweep, and an undefeated second half.
Well this is quite possibly the biggest weekend of my life and I know thousands of you are dying to get some updates..
Well..
Our pitching rocks, our offense sucks and Buster Posey is a God.. So nothing really has changed. Sorry for lack of updates so to make up for it, here’s THE CHOSEN ONE.. Great vid.
Can't wait to read your writeup about Cuzzy. Piece of shit should NEVER come back to SF. Eric
There’s a lot of drama going on with this guy right now. And by drama I mean people freaking out over his home run derby extravaganza. And by people I mean Twitter.
He was raking balls, he looked like his numbers in the first half, he even made his Teen Wolf beard look cool.
But the guy throwing to him was like 70 years old. For anyone who still wants him or feels any inclination to get Corey Hart, just do yourself a favor and become a Brewers fan… Or Braves — which is where he’ll probably end up.
No one was really talking when he put up a whopping zero home runs later in the derby — sure he sat for an hour and a half — but does that give you any right to not hit a single ball over the green fence?
I know I was tweeting like a madman. Derby aside, let’s look at his All-Star Game performance itself..
Oh, 0-for-2 with two strikeouts? Must be because he sat for 22 hours. We all know he is hitting above his averages, but he is actually in just his fourth “full” season. His overall numbers are pretty good and his inflated numbers this year are downright sexy.
It’s halftime and that means the blogs are going crazy with grading, report cards and analysis, well, we here at Firesabean believe in analyzing one man: Brian Sabean.
There’s a lot of chatter about Sabean-haters not giving Sabes credit where credit is due — which is garbage. I’ve praised him for Uribe, pulling the trigger on the Molina trade and… uh… Uribe! Serious note for the haters: He also deserves praise for Freddy Sanchez (when healthy and we’re not being lied to about how long he’s out) and Huff (but see disclaimer)
MAN, why does everything have a negative attached to it, so weird!
Well, let’s pull out the gradebook and see what we can give our lovable GM at the All-Star Break.

If you ignore his call-in to the Razor and Mr. T Show where he sounded like a 10-year-old crybaby and dropped some infamous quotes like “I’m a big boy”; or his call-out of Bumgarner at the beginning of Spring Training where he threw him under the bus saying:
