Damn you, Mox. I hope Pence goes to rehab for his obvious cocaine addiction. THERE, HAPPY?!

P.S. Even year is a myth.

He's going to do some moonlighting during the ASB. Gonna fight in the UFC under the pseudonym "Conor McGregor" :shocked:

Don't those two fuckers look like they could be related?? :laugh3:

Samardzija and Cueto are going to be a big help to the Giants. The toughness they bring to the rotation that was lacking before will be the difference.

I'm not going to argue. I agree with this article and can point to the change in philosophy towards developing home grown players over spending in FA in order to build and develop their identity and nucleus. Guys like Pence enhance the nucleus already in place. They have, time and again, made the correct decision regarding who to keep, who to spend on, etc. The only "bad" contract is Cain at $20 mil per, but that contract almost feels like a THANK YOU retroactive contract much like they gave Big Time Timmy Jim and he is at least showing flashes of coming back from injury.
Cueto, Samardzija, Spann......... Any of those names grab ya?

Peavy is clearly the weak link in this rotation. The sooner they replace him, the better.

4 triples by one team. Coors Field, ladies and gentlemen. Though if it were 2015, Story would have had 9 home runs on the season.

You are a fucking ****. What team has an entire team comprised of 100% homegrown players? Prior to this season, what was the last significant FA splurge? Zito? This team has been primarily comprised of homegrown players. Cueto, Scrabble, and Span were all complementary pieces to offset organizational weakness and make a WS run.

:stfu:

I was wondering were all these odd, angry comments were coming from.

Then I pressed "show ignored content".

Now I get it. :)

Try building a roster that completely consists of homegrown players.
My point is that I think they really stepped up this off season and spent the money effectively to get what they needed. I think they filled every need in one swoop except for the closer position. I've always been one who has been critical of the Giants' "dumpster diving" tactics, but no more.

See post # 1471. And if you don't like getting called on your ignorance, don't make statements teeming with it.

But that, and the occasional dumpster dive, was what management was trying to do. They wised up this year and its going to pay off big time; watch and see.

Explain my ignorance. What about my statement was NOT factual? Are you saying the philosophy of the Giants is NOT based on grooming homegrown players? You just enjoy being a fucking douche is really all it comes down to. Such a waste of humanity.

You said the Giants philosophy was to build from within. You seemed clearly ignorant of the fact that they were huge spenders in free agency this year getting Spann, Samardzija and Cueto.

Good lineup for the Giants today. Bochy seems to have been finally cured of his day game, getaway day throw away lineup. Everyone in there but Panik today. Go Cain!
