    Could be any one of a number of things.

    Minor or career ending. The nervous system is a gigantic mystery.

    I'm not a pitcher by any means but when my fingers tingle I can point to a spot on my forearm and hopefully that is it. Have you heard anything as of late?

    I watched moneyball the other day, first time seeing it. Scouts do nothing, talent is found on a spreadsheet. Get with the times you old fuck.

    Scouts may not do anything in Cricket but they do in baseball. Don't diminish their contributions.

    Scouts actually don't do much in cricket. You can basically keep batting until you get out, the sample sizes are massive. If a school kid is hitting 113, 120, 86 and so on and so forth, why scout? You can't fluke it.

    Of course the Rockies dropped 11 on STL the day after we score like half of that in 4 games vs them.

    What's Kershaw's problem then? Because I would give Ellen or whatever the fuck her name is a good going over.

    Sorry to sound like a Debbie Downer, but beating a crappg team is something that should happen on a regular basis (another problem with the Dodgers with respect to some "bad teams"). But unless the hand of God is behind you, like the '88 team, you need to man up against the cream of the MLB, something the Giants have done on a consistent basis since they have been on their 5 year run of excellence.

    I hate repeating myself....we really need a new manager. Nothing is going to change until you have a master behind the wheel like Bruce Bochy. We need someone like that quick because this team is one good SP away from winning it all with a master manager behind the wheel. Or else, it's another 3 year rebuilding job after next year.

    I respect Mattingly as a "should have been Hall of Famer", but like Dirty Harry said, everyone needs to know their limitations. Mattingly is a hitting coach, not a major league manager.

    For a guy who is worth close to half a billion, she's like a 3.

    Last year in the regular season, the Giants were 2 and 5 against the division winning Nationals, 2 and 4 against the good Pirates, 1 and 5 against the good A's, 9 and 10 against the division winning Dodgers, and 0 and 3 against the Royals.

    Out of the 7 eventual playoff teams they faced in the regular season they only had a winning record against the Cardinals (4 and 3), and Detroit (2 and 1), so it's not like they crushed these two.

    They destroyed shit teams like Arizona and Philly.

    So, you can get to the playoffs and win it all by beating the "cream of the crop" but you don't really have to. Just have to win games. It makes fans feel better to beat the best teams, but as evidenced, you can be a dumb team like the Giants and just win enough games then have it click
