“When I say the quality, intelligence, aptitude and capability of front offices across the board has increased, it’s not just because some guys from Ivy League schools have become general managers. It’s because the standards have been raised, the competition is greater and people are adapting.”
Here's my question for you long-suffering Giants fans--is our FO adapting? Has it raised the standards? Does it recognize that the competition is greater today than it was yesterday? Or is there someone on that list you'd rather have manning the helm? Sabes gets his share of lumps here at RMC--does he deserve it? When I see a lineup like this one I can get pretty excited about our future. But then I remember that this lineup is the one we are going with, and my balloon deflates. What say, mates?

Why are our links hidden? I put some cool ones in my piece (of left-wing propaganda)but you wouldn't know it.
A GM is kind of like a principal. No matter how badly the kids are fucked up, as long as he can sweet talk the Board, he has a job and a raise. So, yes, Brian Sabean has been successful and adapted.
I like that, GM = principal, that's good.
@Bob:
What links do you mean?
It could be worse, the Giants could have Omar Minaya.
Good point.
The links aren't apparent until the cursor is upon them.
The link color is now the same as the text color and so only the underline shows up. So, if it is underlined, it is a link.
They're not underlined either.
I can see all your links in the Bunning article . . . you can't?
Nope.
