His year compared to expectations, is what has been really costing this team a sure spot in the playoffs. nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-90908678810444342542012-08-15T22:41:10.776-07:002012-08-15T22:41:10.776-07:00Much as I hate to agree with anything said on Blea...Much as I hate to agree with anything said on Bleacher Report, Tim IS the worst news. The Giants may lose a game or two, or may not, in the 45-50 games to come because they have to replace Cabrera with a less good hitter; but this depends on Pence, having Sandoval, and getting good production from the Brandons. But the awful mediocrity of Lincecum has cost them numerous games so far, and, on the evidence of today's slop, will continue to do so. We score enough runs to be in the middle of the pack despite our depressing park factor as to RS; but we allow so many runs that our gap (RS - RA) is something like +20, which leaves us a few hops and skips above .500 ball.campanarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-4329440675339727172012-08-15T22:41:06.254-07:002012-08-15T22:41:06.254-07:00Much as I hate to agree with anything said on Blea...Much as I hate to agree with anything said on Bleacher Report, Tim IS the worst news.

His Melkiness has fallen, and fallen ha...Ah, Melky. His Melkiness has fallen, and fallen hard. Giants seem to have done everything right this off-season, and the in-season moves have been equally right. Sabes deserves a lot of credit for putting all the pieces together. But he can't control performances or off-field choices.<br /><br />Tim is still a long way off. I've reached the bewildered stage. Makes the Giants look smart NOT signing him long-term. And Cabrera? Who knows what motivates guys to take the risks getting caught with PEDs? He stands to lose tens of millions of dollars, but even at a discount he'll make more than I will in a lifetime. What's his cost/benefit analysis on that? I'd like to know.<br /><br />As a fan, of course, I'm sad. That's about it for me. Just sad.<br /><br />M.C.
