Man, that’s what I find myself doing when I drive I-5 between the Bay Area and LA.

He gives zero shits about any of those humanitarian concerns.

Affeldt had a great Giants career and his postseason performances against PHI in 2010 and KC in 2014 were as clutch as they come.

Rogers never had much of a chance to perform in postseason, and according to Baseball Reference his career WAR, all with SF, is 9.1.

If you’re just looking at trophies wouldn’t that make Pablo Sandoval better than Barry Bonds?

Look at the numbers.

Sorry to see Rogers go; underrated and under appreciated because he didn’t throw hard or blow people away, but he’s the best non-closing reliever in SF Giants history.

I don’t use this term lightly but this team is choking.

Been watching since 1969 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more pathetic team when it comes to at-bats with RISP.

14-26 over the past 40.

Morbidly fascinating how the β€˜22, β€˜23, and β€˜25 teams all started hot and absolutely collapsed in the second half like a fucking soufflΓ© whipped up by a short-order cook.

For the love of God please don’t go all in on rentals, Buster- for once, let’s sell.

These moral crusaders crack me up: anti-gay, anti-porn, yet put β€˜em in a room with video of two women going at it and they’ll have their pants around their ankles before you could flip a light switch.

These losers always hide behind cryptic handles, and as far as his sarcastic, classless β€œthank you” at the end, it deserves a reply in kind:

β€œYou’re welcome, pitiful pecker!”

Among non-closers, he has to be the best reliever in Giants history.

It would be hard for them to hit any worse than they have so far, but it will be hard to match the pitching results given Webb’s recent slide, the injury to Roupp, and Birdsong’s failures.

He’s been a disappointment at the plate; his value so far has been as a defensive player.

If Grant McCray could cut down on the strikeouts he’d be a better option.

Still trying to decide if Trump looks more ridiculous in a MAGA cap or a hard hat.

β€œSurging” tariff revenue?

Pretty misleading statement since none of his predecessors since the 19th Century promoted tariffs.

See how Teng does tomorrow (?) and if he continues his hot streak get him back on the 40-man and see what he can do.

Unbelievable that the Q crowd believed that Trump’s mission was to expose *Pizzagate.*

First time I heard that my thoughts were he’d do no such thing; in fact, he’d want to get in on the action rather than stop it.

Sinking like a stone post all-star break has been a tradition for this franchise since 2016, with the exception of the 2021 team.

The past 4 seasons have felt like Groundhog Day: early season hope followed by abysmal offense, shoddy defense, second half implosion.

I commend you for your restraint; I used a different 4-letter word after β€œOh.”

Looks like there are two gaping holes in this rotation.

I hope you feel better soon, Jennifer, and are able to get outdoors ASAP.

Good teams find ways to win; this team finds ways to lose.

They have more talent than the past couple of seasons, but the results are the same. Plenty of time left, but I wouldn’t go after a high-priced rental at the deadline because this team shows no signs of gelling.

Stephen Colbert isn’t afraid to speak truth to power and hold those in positions of power accountable. He was fired for it.

REPOST if you stand with Stephen Colbert!

The only good thing about watching this underperforming offense is that at least the games are mercifully short so I end up wasting 2 hours of my life each day instead of 3.

Pretty hard to collect 11 hits and fail to score, but not surprisingly, this team was up for the challenge.

They need another starter if they’re gonna make a run….

What’s Jamie Moyer up to these days?
