If anyone knows bad news, it's the San Francisco Chronicle. But I think even the Chron knows that the AAA affiliate in Fresno is known as the Grizzlies. Honestly, Peter Magowan may have told you this after you got done licking his ass by towing the company line you put for in your preview here. I hear to marketing call cover-up with this "ALL OUT, ALL SEASON" nonsense, even if I still have sand in my ears.

Let's not forget that Omar Visquel is still on that team. The SS/2nd baseman combo is so freaking old I don't think they could turn a double play with Molina running.

Well, at least they only have 27 years of Zito's great contract left.

So I've just moved back to the Bay Area this year after 20 years away from where I grew up. The Giants were bad then (until Will Clark came along) and they're going to be bad now. Did I miss anything while I was gone? Johnny LeMaster isn't still playing short, is he?

Johnny LaRue — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:12:49 EDT

It amuses me that SFG fans take it for granted that Lincecum is going to be a cy young finalist this season. Why exactly is that so automatic? He's still a kid--albeit a very cocky one--with a weird pitching motion and likely very little run support. Any number of things could go wrong.

/s/ R. Harden across the bay

p.s. at least everone seems to agree Zito is gonna be mediocre again for $20m+.

shea_guevara — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:12:09 EDT

If it wasn't for Cain and Lincecum, this team would be poised to be historically awful. Like 62 Mets or 03 Tigers awful.

Lou Seal is going to wind up playing second base before the season's over-- .235, 3 HR, 41 RBI. He'll do Clorox shots between innings.
