I, for one, can't wait for Emmanuel Burriss to start at second base. I can't believe that the Giants are going to have Burriss, Brandon Crawford and Ryan Theriot for their middle infield. They're all terrible. Mike Fontenot was better than all of them, but the Giants cut him. I think they're actively trying to lose. This may be a Major League situation, considering that Brandon Belt is projected to be one of the best hitters in the National League but he'll be starting the year in Fresno.

Prediction for this year: 79-85

My prediction is that Belt is traded in July for a relief pitcher. He'll never get 500 plate appearances in a season in San Francisco, and that prediction is completely serious.

Zito has nothing left. His contract was never good, but there was a time when it wouldn't have been ridiculous to think that he could be a very useful pitcher; on May 10, 2010, his ERA for the season was 1.49, and as late as August 10 his ERA sat at 3.35. That's gone now. The Giants will break camp with an extra pitcher so that they can cover for Barry Zito's first start in Colorado. I don't think it needs to be said how ridiculous that logic is.

Bob Feller famously threw a no-hitter on the first day of the 1940 season.

Last year, the Giants were 55-9 when scoring at least four runs. This year, they're 0-3.

At least Zito is starting today!

He'll be the MVP of the Pacific Coast League this year.

In that case, I hope the middle infielder the Giants trade him for has an on-base percentage above .300.

Wins, saves and RBIs are the holy trinity of useless stats.

Baseball-Reference provides us with the stats that Jamie Moyer compiled prior to Madison Bumgarner's birth.

Is it premature to declare Mike Trout the best player ever?

I love that a team as mediocre as the Giants has four players starting in the All-Star Game. The NL kind of sucks this year.

Well to be fair, Panda and Posey should not be starting.

Neither should Melky Cabrera, as a matter of fact. He's been good, but he's not one of the top three outfielders in the league.

That said, Pablo Sandoval was far and away the best third baseman in the league in 2009, but David Wright started the All-Star Game while Sandoval didn't even make the team; forgive me if I'm not sympathetic now.

I'm kidding, of course. It was certainly the best All-Star Game ever.

This is from the Twitter of a Giants beat writer

Brandon Belt is hitting .250/.360/.408
Hector Sanchez is hitting .278/.282/.381

It's easy to say that we would do better than the management at their jobs, but I'm pretty sure I would be a better manager than Bruce Bochy.

It's an offensive downgrade and a defensive downgrade! Hector Sanchez has done literally nothing well this year!
