Dan Uggla is now a Giant

Basically, we're sleeping with your ex while you pay the support...

Although the ex is now at the bottom of the barrel.

Is that an Urban Dictionary thing? It's so hard to keep up with the lingo these days...

The Giants are trying something new. In the past, they always picked up guys several years removed from their prime to play shortstop; second base is uncharted territory.

Well, Einstein said something like "trying the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity" So, at least they're trying.

The Giants will probably win the World Series this year. They win the WS one season, suck the next. It's a proven pattern.

At least I haven't saw the word "ratchet" used on this site yet unless it was referring to a hand tool.

With that lineup they should be in the cellar. It's inconceivable that they have won so many games.

I think it's a well know expression...basically means poor quality or non-desirable.

I said the same thing in 2010 and 2012.

It's a profit deal!

All three NL divisions have ties for the top spot. And the top two teams in each division are all within a half game of each other.

Hicks had a nice start, but he's batted .140/.253/.238 in 167 PA since the beginning of May. His line currently sits at .162/.280/.319.

Of course, Uggla does have a line of .162/.241/.231 (33 OPS+!) this year. And Uggla's never exactly been known for his defense. Uggla might be better than Hicks going forward, but I wouldn't exactly call Uggla an "upgrade."

I guess the Giants wanted more meat-heads in the line-up. I'm sure Uggla has a chip on his shoulder so this might work out ok for the Giants.

Uggla's the type of ex that you'll gladly pay somebody else to take off your hands.

No risk, and imo no reward...Uggla is finished...boy, these no cut contracts in MLB are #$%&#!!!

Hard to be a diehard fan again.

Yeah, but she's still got the tits you paid for. They're not that bad.

I want to bet some vcash, but it only shows old events. Is it me, or is the bookie on vaca?

You're most likely right. And I guess MLB has a strong player's union.

I'll always be a diehard Braves fan, regardless of how many bad decisions the front office makes(signing the young guys to extensions this season is hopefully a sign of a lesson learned though).
