BASEBALL!

Well, the Giants were looking good- but Tim Lincecum is still in a slump and they started getting sloppy on defense again. ARGH! The Rangers smacked them around good yesterday after they played (and won) against them the day before in a extremely well-played game. Inconsistency is the description I come up with for my team.

I have always felt pablo Sandoval was a very talented player, but get really tired of him acting like a little boy. Grown men (and women) that do that make me nuts. Also, I don't see his hitting as all that consistent, but we need bats. Also, he seems to spend a lot of time every year on the DL. Now, the idiot is in a mess with sexual assualt charges while he was out on the DL post surgery on his hand. And he continues to remain out of shape even though he has been told his job could be in jeapardy (the replacement for him when he was on the DL has been very, very good).

The facts/evidence have not been made public, but the woman is 21 (Pablo is 25) and the initial reports are the "he said, she said" kind of thing- and he says they had consensual sex. My gut tells me he didn't take NO for an answer. But, I shouldn't pre-judge either way. Getting ready for the usual BS that "she" is just trying to get a financial settlement- this always seems to happen in these cases and it just pisses me off. I know this happens, but just because one woman may do this, it doesn't mean every woman does.

Personally, I think Pablo is more trouble than he is worth as a player. Of course, he got a bunch of money last year when his contract was negotiated. It's obvious Arias can play 3rd well and is a good hitter. He puts his heart into playing- something, Sandoval isn't doing anymore, I think. I say, stop baby sitting Pablo and trade him! Since the 2010 WS win, he has been on the DL more than playing.

Anyway- I am worried about Tim Lincecum. The guy is just not getting out of this slump. Both Cain & Vogelsong have been super, so that is good, but Timmy is a mess!

It is so cool to see some of the teams doing so well so early in the season.

I mean who would have thunk the White Sox would be first in their division? Or, the Nationals, who just swept three from the Red Sox. Or, the Reds and Pirates tied for first. Or, the Dodgers. Really the Dodgers?

Nice to see the Giants pulling it together too. The Pirates are still amazing me despite their lack of hitting.

My Red Sox are in the sub basement again. Cant help but think these guys are not working well with the new manager. Injuries are hurting as well. The line up juggling isnt helping any either.

Yup! But, damn the Red Sox need to get it going!

It would be great to see a team like the Pirates stay on top and get into the play-offs. And of course, the Giants!

The Anels beat the dodgers yesterday... yes! hey, I'm a Giants fan and we are a few games out! But, LA under Magic is getting it together!

Tonight the FIRST & ONLY perfect game in the SF Giant's 130 year history was pitched by Matt Cain!

The fans still don't want to leave the ball park.

macele · 10-13-2012, 10:36 AM

i didn't get to watch the nationals/cardinals. i like both of those teams. so i'm going with the cardinals/tigers ... tigers to win it!

Kobi · 10-13-2012, 10:58 AM

So, it is the Cards vs the Giants, and the Yanks vs the Tigers.

Hm, have no faves here. Might have to go with the Tigers only cuz they havent won in ages.

ruffryder · 10-13-2012, 11:04 AM

guess I'm out of the loop. Thought the Orioles were still in it and hoping they would kick the Yankees out.

I'll go for the Cardinals or Giants for the win!

The good thing is that baseball doesn't work in that egalitarian way .... if it did, the Red Sox wouldn't have had to wait 86 years to win the series

Yankees will win it this year.
