     Yes, Spring training is finally over.

     I remember the Chronicle predicting that the Giants would win the NL West. Gotta love hometown papers.

I propose we create a separate thread for the Giants and Phillies fans to bitch about their team's inability to go 162-0 and win the World Series every year.

Also, it would have been great if Ozzie has praised someone nobody has heard of, like Islam Karimov.

     I would hope that we could post a decent record just two years removed from the World Series. I don't think a little consistency is too much to ask out of the team management.

Goddamn I hate being a Mets fan!  I had forgotten exactly why

     Speaking of which, I was reading an article today about how east coast baseball fans are much more highstrung than west coast fans.

     Posey is a better catcher than Sanchez & Belt is a better first baseman than Posey. Better bat or not, the Sanchez/Posey experiment is tempting fate with its error potential.

     Sanchez is on the 15-day DL & now we're starting Whiteside at C and Posey at 1B. Whiteside, the guy who was hitting .241 in AAA at Fresno. I'd probably ask for a trade if I were Belt.
