Da Gigantes!

It looks like Ray Durham is the best Giant. Barry Zito had a good outing and the Giants have won two in a row. Not too bad eh?

Good News on Mando

I heard that some scouts were looking on as Benitez pitched a few days ago. They seemed impressed. I guess they have heard of the phrase "don't judge a pitcher by his weight". Most Giants fans have learned the irony of this phrase. SO DO JUDGE A PITCHER BY HIS WEIGHT. Hopefully a team can pick up Benitez, and learn this lesson the hard way.

Blowout

Justin Knoedler scored the first run for the Gigantes by getting a sixth-inning RBI single, which was before Steve Holm's run-scoring double two innings later. Bonds went 0-for-2, grounding out and striking out, in his first spring appearance. Matt Cain sailed through the first inning before giving away, thanks to Mike Rivera's double on a catchable ball that Bonds dropped. Ryan Meaux, a non-roster invitee relieved Cain and allowed six runs in one-third of an inning.

A passage for Benitez

Facing hitters on Wednesday for the first time since last Sept. 2, Our friend, Armando Benitez said that he is "80-85 percent" healthy, which left him feeling optimistic about pitching half-decent this season.

Last week, Benitez said that he tried to return too quickly from right hamstring surgery in 2005, after months of thinking. He never was at full strength last season, cause he's too old, fat and ugly. He blew eight of 25 save chances before his knee died.

This time, Benitez said that he felt no pain, tightness or soreness,(unfortunately), although huge ice packs were wrapped around his flaming knee.

"I want to hurry," said Benitez, who ranks seventh among fattest pitchers with 280 saves. "I wanna be ready. ... Right now, so far so good, of course thanks to my luck I'll never help the team" he said with a frown.

Benitez threw live batting practice to Rich Aurilia, Barry Bonds, Dave Roberts and Randy Winn. The hitters rarely swung, because the pitches hit every player at least once.

But Benitez provided the day's highlight because he threw a strike. "This proves I'm getting better," said Benitez, ecstatically. "I've never thrown a strike while with the Giants."

Note to Readers: This passage is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to a chubby pitcher is purely coincidence.

How long do you spend making these posts?

Bonds Update

He hit a huge homer off Matt Cain in BP today. Not that that means anything, but today's a pretty slow news day.

Valentine's Day!

Actually I hate this holiday, but I have heard worse news. Fatmando Blownitez, or simply "El Gordo", is coming back and will probably dash our hopes of making the playoffs. If Bochy benches Fatmando or Blownitez is miraculously traded to the suckers better known as the Florida Marlins, than we shall win the division. If not, then...well...we'll see.

The Bonds Contract

Bonds has not filled out all the forms yet, and MLB rejected the contract. They really hate Bonds.
