Guzman breaks 35-year-old record →
I don’t know how I missed the Giants snatching this guy up from the A’s, but I approve.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the Yankees?  Because I really hate the Yankees.  Now that they’re completely loaded, after a $400+ million (and counting) shopping spree this offseason, I really hope they fall on their faces next year.  OH NOES!  WE MISSED THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1993!  THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN!  WE’RE THE YANKEES!

I love the smackdown that Chris Haft delivered in the weekly Giants mailbag this week. What’s the point of being a Giants fan?

San Francisco Giants continue pursuit of... →
If the Giants must go out and pick up a shortstop, I can handle this if it’s a two year deal.  Two year deals = far less scary than, say, four or five year deals for injury prone players.  (coughFURCALcough)  On the other hand, I wouldn’t be totally sad if they didn’t get a shortstop and put the money towards something else and just kept Burriss at the position.
