It’s retro cool.

But then again, it’s pretty darn impossible to predict wins and losses in any sort of meaningful way.

and by the way: VOTTO!

I remember when this came out and we were all like OMG BRUCE .972 OPS!!!!

I can’t find anything substantial to back this up, other than Szym’s comment from a year ago (no. 15).

I’m in the extreme minority that believes in tearing down this club and trading Lincecum and Cain for tons of mega prospects (i.e. Lincecum for Rasmus, Brett Wallace, Daryl Jones, and Jes Todd) and trying to have the best possible team looking to 2011 or 12 when some of the Giants legitimate prospects (Posey, Alderson, Bumgarner, Gallaspie) could be ready to contribute. Sandoval might be alright, but to me he only holds real value as a catcher and the Giants seem intent on keeping Molina for now

The way I see it, in the short term (next 2-3 years) I just don’t see the Giants becoming a very good team. Maybe .500 at best. They just don’t have the talent in the upper level in the minors, so I think the greatness of Lincecum and Cain will be going to waste in those years. The Giants best prospects are all at least 2 years away from contributing.

Realistically, I don’t think the Giants share my view and probably think they are on the verge of winning because they incorrectly perceive the NL West as weak (AZ and LA should only be better as their young guys improve). I see them holding onto Cain and Lincecum and trying to add to the offense and bulpen this off-season via trade or free agency. I could see them trading Jonathan Sanchez and Randy Winn to try and bring in some offense at positions of need (3B). I expect they go after Beltre, like the Reds, and while i like him, I think the Giants need much more than just Beltre to contend.

I fully expect Sabean to try and patch the offense here and there, but ultimately this team is probably going to hover around 77-79 wins, if not worse.

Cain might have an outside chance of getting dealt, but if I had to bet on it, I would bet no

haha of course

Top 10 Worst Jobs in America
10 Police Officer

Unless you are patrolling Mayberry, you are risking your life every day you start your shift. Street cops are often under trained and out gunned in the most dangerous situations. Every traffic stop, domestic dispute call or drug house bust could be their last. Although the benefits are great the pay is only adequate and many officers moonlight doing private security or as bodyguards. Moving through the ranks and becoming a Detective or some other non street level position is usually the best option for a long career. however getting on the ’Mob’s’ payroll is probably yout best option.

9 Firemen

Arson for profit. Old, abandoned buildings full of homeless people. These are a couple of reasons that that big city fireman have to risk their lives everyday. They have to go in, save lives and put out a fire before it spreads to surrounding buildings. In times of riots (Detroit and Watts in the 1960’s and LA after the Rodney King verdict) they are actually the victims of attack from angry mobs. It is a demanding job not for those weak in mind or body. Although you can moonlight in a Villiage people tribute band.

8 Exterminators

If a roach or rat infested house is your idea of fun then this job is for you. For the rest of us, the prospect of going into a stranger’s house that is overrun by disease spreading vermin is a nightmare job. Plus you get to expose your body to a lot of toxic chemicals

7 Convenience store workers

A job where your life could be lost over a few dollars in the till.. Despite closed circuit cameras and even an occasional gun hidden under the counter, many employees are shot even before a demand of money is made. And you have to be able to Korean, Vietnamese, Jive and 6 dialects from India and Pakistan.

6 Prostitute

The world’s oldest profession is alive and well on city streets all across the planet. Besides the risk of being raped, assaulted or even killed, there is always the real chance of catching an STD or AIDS. Since it’s illegal in most states, prostitutes also run the risk of being arrested and jailed. And now with Cialis you have to work twice as hard for half the money.

5 Factory Worker

The $5 a day that Henry Ford offered people to work in his Detroit factories almost 100 years ago was life changing to some families. Many laborers and skilled tradesman jumped at the chance to double their income. Although conditions are safer nowadays and the pay is much more thanks to unions and collective bargaining agreements, the typical factory job is still dirty, hard and tedious.
Plus if you lucky you’ll only lose one or two fingers….

4 Office Worker

A long commute to spend an even longer day in a cube. You work just hard enough to keep from getting fired and get paid just enough to keep from quitting. Most people spend a lot of time surfing the net, exchanging humorous emails, updating their resume or reading Red Reporter. It’s a wonder any business gets done at all!

3 Cab Driver

Most drivers have to put in long hours behind the wheel to make a living. You have to deal with traffic jams and passengers that don’t tip. Sometime passengers are actually out to rob you of the few dollars you have made and will kill you in a heartbeat. This is why some cabbies will not pick up certain fares which of course leads to more controversy. On the other hand if you need a quick geography lesson regarding countries on the Gold Coaste your friendly cabbie is always willing to help.

2 Drug Dealer

Crack, weed, meth, etc. They’re available on any street corner for a few dollars a hit. In neighborhoods where drug use is rampant and jobs are scarce, many people choose this fast money option to make some cash to pay the bills. Whether it is the low level, street corner dealer or someone in a "middle management" capacity, the risks are high (overdose, killed by your own customers, rival gangs and becoming Bubba’s low paid prison bitch ) and pay is surprisingly low. (But the ‘pay-off’ can be surprisingly ’HIGH’)

1Telemarketer

They call at dinner time, in the middle of your favorite movie or right when you finally get the baby to sleep. They are pre-scripted, auto call generated denizens of call centers calling to sell us magazines, insurance or to get us to change our long distance service. The truth is most of those people calling us are not hard working young people that really are paying their way through college or older people in between "real jobs" trying to keep up with their mortgage payments, who are practically tied to the phone by a headset with breaks and lunches tightly monitored. They are almost all well to do foreign students. So now days you have to move to India to get hired. But on the bright side you if live in your Mom’s basement you may not even have to leave the house to go to workl.

so NeifiChicken any of these jobs compare with yours?

yet

Excellent.
