Bullschmidt!

Jason Schmidt is copping out. Yes, sirree. The turncoat, who signed with them to be an ace, is now their #3 pitcher, conveniently missing this three-game series. If he's going to be a traitor, he should at least take it as a man, like the even bigger traitor who spends his free time doing wheelies on his motorcycle. I want to boo him, of course. Every Giants fan should. What a load of Schmidt. If he had signed with the Mariners, like everyone wanted and expected him to, none of this would be happening and we would still love him here. Right?

Juan Pierre

I'm glad the Giants didn't pick him up, seeing as how the Dodgers paid that kind of sum to him. Clearly, Colletti has gone insane. There is no way he would have made that move in San Francisco.

Ned Colleti Meets Remeets Jason Schmidt

I am glad that the Dodgers got Jason Schmidt. I didn't realize that Ned Colletti still thought he was the Schmidt of his time, but if he wants that guy, he can take him. Schmidt was very good for a time, but this year, he showed that he was clearly not the best pitcher on the staff. The fact that the whole world thought the Schmidt signing was a bargain really amuses me. I knew that someone would look at his 16-strikeout game and misleading ERA and pick him up, but I didn't think it would be the Dodgers. I am now obligated to laugh manically, because, according to the principle of schaudenfreude that all Giants fans are obligated to live by, the Dodgers' pain is our gain. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

The Ortiz Signing

While I think that the Ortiz signing is a good one, the 2002 playoffs somewhat obscure my memory of him, just as they do every other player who left in that offseason, so my opinion of him in those years is probably not the best one to consult. Nevertheless, what with the fact that Arizona is eating up all his salary and Ortiz isn't guaranteed a thing from the Giants, I don't think it's too bad an idea. Yet, if Arizona, which is so desperate for pitching it picked up Randy Johnson, is paying Ortiz $8,000,000 a year (read: a lot of money, even in today's world of $126,000,00 signings) to get his rear end out of the BOB, it makes you wonder...
