With Ray Durham in mid season form with his hamsting problems and Kevin Frandsen out for the season, I'm just wondering how bad can it get. Maybe the Giants and trying to start off so low that no matter what happens it will look good.  I feel sorry for our pitchers because no matter how well they pitch, their records are going to suck. Boche is in a no win situation and nobody can blame his managerial skills because he has nothing to work with.

I am also trying to get all my venting out early to ease the pain of this season.

The thing you will be able to blame Boch for is if he runs out the tired ars line up with Ray ray and Dave Roberts in it.  He has the ability to put Ortmier, Velez and Fred Lewis on the lineup card everyday.  The question is.................does he have the kahonays to do it!

Problem is the organization does'nt seem to care at all about even trying to win.  Boche never has been one to take many chances.  He is a fairly mediocre manager.  But worse, the Giants talent level on offense is the all-time lowest they have ever had.  They will need to get these pitchers to really show up  for work everyday if they are gonna be expected to avoid 100 losses.  There is virtually NO power in this lineup.  They have maybe one guy (Rowand) who can get to 20 homers.  Two if you count Ortmeier who needs to really get it going now.  Why they sent Schierholtz down at this stage of the offense is beyond me.  This organization will hopefully get hit where it hurts (when fans don't come out).  It's almost too bad the ballpark is so friggin beautiful.  The fans don't get to watch a very good team in their beautiful ballpark this year.

As a baseball fan first, I believe the Giants need to trade there older players for any young player they can get.

They can trade Molina, Vizquel and any older guy to a contending team by the trading deadline and get some young players in return.

I understand your pain emdragon as i love Nate Schierholtz as he is a great player with some power and can hit for average.  The only reason he was sent down was because Fred Lewis and Rajai Davis were both out of options so if we sent either one down they would be be able to be picked up by other teams.  Schierholtz had one option left, lets just hope we hurry and deal Dave Roberts so Nate can come up soon and be where he should be.

Unfortunatly, the reason we have all the old guys is nobody else wants them.  I know that boch is going to play the vets and I also know that he shouldnt.  But when is this organization going to hit that point were they say screw it and start all this young talent.  They have to know how we feel as fans and what we want to see on the field.

Could'nt they TRADE either Lewis or Davis along with, say Lowry and Molina and maybe get a hitter somewhere.  I heard the Angels might part with Kotchman.  The Giants have a few decent catchers that could play in the bigs right now I think.  then Schierholtz gets to come back up, and things don't look so bleak.

It is going to be bleak with Noah out for a while and Zito still messing with his mechanics. 

 Zito needs to watch some film and figure out what he is doing wrong with his wind-up.  We really need this clown to start coming close to earning his pay check, I know he will never earn what we are paying him but damn,  do something to get out of this funk.

I am definatly ready for all of the older guys to get lost.  hopfully Zito will get on track so we can get rid of him too.

What about 1b?   Klesko has to be a better option than Ortmeier....

What's going on in the farm system?  Couldn't they pick a location for AA that was a little closer than Conn.?   They don't seem to know what they have.

Klesko retired. The point is that the younger players need consistant playing time to mature into major league players.

I only hope that we utilizethe youth as much as possible this year. I am not going to become a Dodger fan because the Giants stink and have made some bad decisions. It will be painful to watch but I bet the Giants steal 225 bases. At leastg something to look forward to. I do not have a problem with them trading anyone over 27 years old. I would rather have some embarrasing moments than watch Aurillia, Durham & Roberts get alot of playing time. What would be the best case scenario for Aurillia?? .275 7 HR's 65 RBI's and mediocre defense, I don't need it. I would rather watch Velez fail and swipe 50 bases doing it.

Go Giants,
