The Giants are my team, and a small part of me hates DDD for his MLB affiliation. I agree with Runner, Brian Sabean is an idiot, the Giants need to decide if they are rebuilding or not. They may have the oldest infield in MLB history this year with Aurilia, Vizquel and Durham.

However imo unbiased opinion the Giants have the best young pitching staff in the game with Cain, Lincecum, Lowry, Zito and Mitsch, not to mention Hennessy and Sanchez in the pen. To bad they get no run support Cain was like 6-17 last year with a 3.10 ERA.

Then they go out and spend 60 million Aaron Rowand and 125 million on Zito, it makes no sense to me what they are doing with this team. Their farm system is in shambles they have 1 prospect in Baseball Americas top 100 and he is 26 years old. I would love to be the Giants GM, I guarantee I could do a better job.

Hey, nothing wrong with hating DDD, whatever the reason might be. A large part of me hates DDD because he eats at better restaurants than I do. Plus, he's an attorney...what's not to hate?

Hey, dont hate me cuz you ain't me. YOhio already has that job.

I will give Giants fans credit for a home yard that scores off the charts in the general categories of radness and bitchenocity.

Beyond that, I just dont get the appeal. Is it all the winning? It is the old stadium where you would freeze to death or get hit by stray AA batteries? Or is it the appealing black and orange merchandising scheme?

I will say this about the Azul v Hated Ones.....the Yankees and Sox may have their little 1918 chants, pre-game roll calls, and a general over-exposure rivaled only by Monica Lewinksy's blue Gap dress......but if you want to experience the andrenaline of pure DANGER, try coming to the Ravine during a Giants series, sit in the left field pavs, and rock your Giants jersey. As far as I know, nobody has been murdered after a Red Sox/Yanks game.

Atlanta Braves fan. Always been one, and I refuse to jump ship. I hate all bandwagoners - even ones who root for my team.

I've been following the Braves since the days of Rick Mahler, Bruce Benedict, Bob Horner, and (of course) Dale Murphy. I lived 3 hours from Atlanta while growing up, so I'm anything but a bandwagoner. I watched every day during the summer, even while they were losing 90 and 100 games a year.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the season, but I'm tired of being disappointed at playoff time.
