Check out a post their main guy made... "This is an open thread for suggestions on how the Giants can stop losing. I'll start: The Giants pitching allowed two hits yesterday. That's unacceptable, and we have to figure out a way to get pitchers who don't allow hits at all. Hey, pitchers: Do or do not, there is no try. Seriously. If the starting pitching is just going to go out there and give up a hit -- which is exactly what they're not supposed to do -- why even bother?" I mean, I'm actually starting to have respect for those guys now. Whatever years from now when our team starts to blow goats I hope we can keep the same sense of humor. Good times.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-39750">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 20: Dude, that blog is freaking HILARIOUS.

Whew! With all these money being thrown around, I sure hope the fans are noticing that the club is spending money...wisely. Not just spending stupid money at FAs. Good job, KT. 16: I think the LF platoon thing is going to work out just fine. Love the high socks. Shakespeare is creating a trend, I hope. 15: The difference so far, is that I don't get anxious that the Padres are going to lose games when there is no score late into the innings. Last year, I got older by a few hours everytime the team failed to score early or with RISP with fewer than 2 outs. Perhaps, the season is new yet. Sure, it's nice to have those close wins but a few more blow out wins like the first game will be welcome.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-39744">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Congrats to CY on the new contract.

If Buddy Black can keep picking the right half to play, this LF thing might turn out to be a strength. We need a bust-out game, get the bats hot, win by a comfy margin, etc. You can feel it coming (at least I can), and I'm hoping it happens at home for long-term psychological reasons.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-39742">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I believe Crudge may be our most productive player so far this year.
