This oughta tide you over...

Sorry folks, things have been a little more hectic than usual (which means I actually have to do stuff). Hopefully this picture will tide you over. I took this last night with my Moto Q's camera, with the flash off, at night. It was outside McTeague's on Polk after last call. This is almost like a bigfoot sighting.

The "human being" you are about to feast your eyes on is the sleaziest of all sleazes. Like an evil Marb 100-smoking chameleon of evil intentions and poor judgment.

Behold:



The black New Era hat on his head with orange insignia is indeed not that of the San Francisco Giants, but of the hated Doyers-- a travesty in all facets. It's obvious why this scumbag would wear our colors-- he's obviously jealous of how cool and awesome we all are. It is not clear however, if this sort of obscene behavior has taken place on our side of things.

Is there such a thing a Dodger Blue Giants hat with a white "SF" in the middle?? Could such a thing have a market? I shudder at the thought. I encourage everyone to give crap to anyone you see wearing these blasphemous hats, because an orange and black Dodgers hat is almost as bad as a blue and white Giants hat.

And McTeague's is a cool bar. Busch in a can and Lonestar? In SF? WIN.

Timmy Ballgame strikes again!

How awesome is Timmy Lincecum? Totally awesome. Toats McGoats.

The guy is simply THE MAN, and continues to show why he is the best pitcher in baseball. Isn't that amazing? I think what's also amazing is that despite not winning that coveted World Series (overrated anyway... quietly sobbing), we've had the best player in the league for a lot of our franchise's history.

Naturally it's debatable whether Willie and Barry were the best each out of their prime years, but let's think about it for a second. Based on their prime years, the Giants had the best player in baseball-- Willie Mays-- for 15 years (21.5 years with Giants), and then had Barry Bonds 15 years-- 13 out of which he was the best player in baseball. That's 28 years since 1954 that we've had the best player in the universe (up through 2007). I'm going to go ahead and give Lincecum's dominant Cy Young season of 2008 the nod as baseball's best (and seriously, how can you argue?). That makes 29 out of 54 years since 1954 that the Giants have had the most disgusting beast in all the land. That's 54%!

Absolutely incredible.

I'm assuming that only the Yankees can rival that sort of disgusting filth. Go Giants.

Quick Cubs series wrap up:

What on earth are we doing flying to Chicago for a two game series? Seriously? It's like, c'mon scheduling jerks. Now we have to go to Colorado? What the hell was the point of that? I've had my beefs before with the moronic schedulers at MLB before. I'm just sick of the asinine stupidity.

I'm also sick of constantly playing the same 4 damn teams every day for a month. Other than opening with 3 against the Brew Crew and these last two against the Cubbies, we've played 20 games solely against NL West dopes. Before we get to Washington on May 11, we will have played 25 out of 30 games against these boring jerks. Enough! I need some variety!

Anyway, as is our M.O., we couldn't score any runs against stupid Ryan "Dumpster" Dempster and Los Ositos on Monday, while Jonathan Sanchez gave up 4 runs in only 4 innings of work. The 4 earned don't tell the whole story. He was all over the place, walking 6, and hitting a batter. He threw 101 pitches in 4 IP... that's not good. As Eddie Money would put it, Sanchez had "No Control".

As for today, Timmy was lights out. He K'd 7, and rocked out for 7 innings, his crazy mop flowing in the Wrigley breeze. And how about this for a change... the lineup actually gave him some early runs! Yessssssssssss!

Bengie Mo went yard off Sean Marshall, and it looked like so much fun that Aaron Rowand actually knocked in not one--- but two runs with a double off the wall! God, was that ever a welcome sight!

Prior to Tuesday's game, as pointed out by ESPN.com, the Giants had failed to score A SINGLE RUN for their past 3 starters. Not good. Sabean... PLEASE HELP.

Also of note is that Cubs skipper Lou Piniella was so terrified of Timmy Franchise making his fancy men in tights look foolish, that he benched all of his best players. Haha. What a loser. Timmy doesn't care who he strikes out! Could be Alfonso Soriano, or it could be some nutsac up from Peoria for a cup of coffee. He is that cool.

DODGER DOUCHEBAG(S) OF THE DAY: Rafael Furcal & Russell Martin who have combined to go 3-13 with 1 run and 0 RBI in their last two games. Losers!

Giants baby!

I'd like to welcome myself to the world of Giants blogging.

Of course I am already a semi-established blogger of sorts, having hosted this one for several years.

Granted, I've still only managed 12 views a day, but still! They don't know what they're missing!

This blog is about something near and dear to my heart: loving the San Francisco Giants and hating the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodger Hater blog, in partnership with Dodgerhater.net, will be updated once or twice a week with Giants news, takes, some brilliant analysis, and hate directed towards the Dodgers, their degenerate fans, and this disgusting megalopolis they represent.

With that said, let's talk Giants baseball.


With one of the best starting rotations is all of baseball, we've all become pleasantly used to the Orange & Black staying in ballgames. In a division that doesn't exactly reek of runs being scored, we pretty much have a shot in every game that we play.

Let's score some friggin runs here!

Our starting five of Timmy the Kid Lincecum, Matt Cain, The Big Unit, Barry Zito, and Jonathan Sanchez have a combined 3.72 ERA through Saturday. That is some of the most disgusting filth in the majors-- Good for 4th best.

What's even more amazing about this stat is that Timmy Franchise has a slightly inflated ERA of 3.16 due to two poor starts to open the year, and Barry Zito just hurled 7 innings of shutout 2 hit baseball!

Okay, I'm going to recalculate this bitch on the fly, how about this starting rotation ERA: 3.47. THANK YOU BARRY ZITO! (Seriously. I'm getting emotional about this... thank you so much.)

Despite the Giants' now league-leading 3.47 rotational ERA (FUCK YEAH!), the rubber match between the G-Men and the Rockies remains at 0-0 in the bottom of the 9th as I write this.

With such resounding nastiness coming from our starting pitching, it seems thoroughly wasteful to not score any runs for these guys. We will take this division and beat the Dodgers handily if we can just manage 5 runs a game, it is that simple.

For that to happen, GM Brian Sabean cannot sit back and "hope" that certain weak links in the lineup begin to hit. With Randy Winn, Travis Ishikawa, Manny Burriss, and Fred Lewis all scuffling badly, it is painfully obvious that we are going to lose some close games.

Seemingly the only guys we can count on to hit are our pudgy combination of Big Money Molina and Kung Fu Panda Sandoval.

With a dearth of reliable power in the lineup, we will continue to collectively scuffle. What we lack in hitting at the big league level however, we have plenty of in the minor leagues: young talented pitching.

Brian Sabean needs to make a trade sooner rather than later to get a big bat into this lineup. Anything short of trading Lincecum, Cain, or future superstars Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey, or Angel Villalona, must be considered.

The "One Who Shall Not Be Named" sure would've helped this lineup with his disgusting hairstyle waving in the China Basin breeze against a backdrop of Chevron cartoon cars.

Instead, he's down there inhaling smog and contributing to the downfall of Western Civilization in Chavez Ravine-- a true pile of fecal matter.

The wild card is not coming out of the NL West, so we can and must win the NL West this season. The Los Angeles Assholes cannot prevail. Therefore, it is up to Sabean to get a bat.

The trade market for big hitters at this year's trade deadline is going to be very unpredictable. Some guys may be a available that we never thought possible.

Strike like lightning Sabean!

DODGER DOUCHEBAG(S) OF THE WEEK: Dodger Fans. They get there in the 3rd inning, leave in the 7th and don't sell out playoff games. What complete losers.

--------------------------------------NEWS FLASH-------------------------------------

LOS GIGANTES HAVE SCORED A RUN!!!! Rich Aurilia has knocked in backup catcher Steve Holm in the bottom of the 10th! Giants win 1-0! Woooooooooohoooooooooooo! Unfortunately the Dodgers have also won today 7-3 against the meek Los Padres de San Diego. Here's a fun fact: this is the Giants second 1-0 victory in the 10th inning this season. They did it against San Diego on April 22.

Seriously Sabean... get us a hitter... NOW.
