Spring Dugz: San Francisco Giants

Posted Mar 17th 2008 1:20AM by Nick Dallamora

Look at the cohesion this team has now! I mean, these guys are walking around together!

I may understand the importance of team unity and communication as poorly as the next basement-dwelling, stat-fearing blogger, but enough with the post-Barry talk. Barry Bonds was an ass that nobody could stand. I've known that for years. Removing him from a team isn't going to miraculously catapult them into the playoff picture. Sorry, but Aaron Rowand isn't going to make that happen either. If the Giants are to be successful it's going to be because their young pitching talents excel and they somehow produce a couple of runs every game. How that's going to happen is beyond me. I merely spit malapropisms and vulgarities from an internet machine.

A team reborn, I guess, after the jump.

	O_RLY: and stay the hell out you team bastardizing....bastard!
	MoLinaMoProblems: Damn, that was pretty cold. If you think about it, was he really that much of a problem around here?
	O_RLY: Oh yeah. Total clubhouse cancer.
	IfHeCantDoItNoahCan: Clubhouse cancer is a little vague. I'd say he was more of a clubhouse ideopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
	O_RLY: I can't stress enough how much easier it is to relax and focus on baseball now that he's gone. Even if reporters are harassing us twice as much just to get somewhat negative one-liners on him.
	MoLinaMoProblems: But his presence in the lineup will surely be missed, no? We're talking about one of the most feared hitters in the game.
	O_RLY: The only reason he seemed "feared" was due to the fact that our 3 and 5 hitters combined for 15 homeruns last season. The only protection he got last year was from his whizinator.
	MyCareersRowand: Wait, what? **** that! I want to hit taters!
	O_RLY: Relax, Aaron. That pesky competitive edge will succumb to frustration and Silicon Valley fumes come June.
	MyCareersRowand: No way. You guys might be used to losing, but I sure as hell ain't. We're going to win the division. Mark my words.
	IfHeCantDoItNoahCan: ... Dude you know acid is a banned substance right?
	MyCareersRowand: Are you guys serious? Why show up to the field if you're not trying to win?
	WinnterWonderland: Well, I know I am! lol
	O_RLY: I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER STUPID JOKE ABOUT YOUR LAST NAME I'M GOING TO SPLIT YOUR WIG WITH A HUNK OF GRANITE
	MoLinaMoProblems: Whoa. And this is supposed to be the loose atmosphere that was left in Bonds' wake?
	IfHeCantDoItNoahCan: In all honesty, would you rather a.) Rich Aurilia beat you senseless with construction site fodder or b.) play aside Barry Bonds
	MoLinaMoProblems: Well, yeah. Anything sounds good when you phrase it like that.
