An Aside About The Awfulness Of The Giants
Helen pointed out that Al Yellon recently limned a 4-2 Cubs win over the Giants. There's nothing so unusual about that until you realize that the Giants have the worst record in Spring Training of any team with a mind-bending 6-16. The Cubs used the game as a third-week split squad to showcase fringe guys who will, in all probability, end up in AAA (Eric Patterson, Micah Hoffpauir), some quasi-regulars (Daryle Ward, Matt Murton, Ronny Cedeno), and one or two guys who stand a good chance of making the team in some capacity (Jon Lieber, Scott Eyre, Bob Howry). Meantime, the Giants trotted out a lineup that looks very like their regular season roster.
It'll be a long year in San Francisco. Bruce Bochy might want some Excedrin.
