    Giants 2016,... the injuries kept mounting, serious ones against our stars,.. didn't matter, we couldn't lose.

    At the all star break the G's had the best record in baseball. the 2nd half started and it all went to fuck. Played horrible, our injured players returned, didn't matter, we couldn't win,.. ecked out a wildcard spot, but blew a 3 run 9th inning lead and bowed out against the Cubs.

    Last year we went 63-99, miserable from day one to the end,.. we forgot how to win, our attitude turned to shit, we were snakebit. This year, our ace went down his final spring training game, our #3 missed all of April,. we've played with 4 kids as starting pitchers, only one, maybe two is ready for the bigs. Last week our All-Star 2nd baseman had his thumb operated on, out 6 weeks,.. today #2 Cueto was placed on the DL, they're speculating Tommy John surgery. I'm calling it right now, it's over,.. the Giant's two year slump is over!

    Our attitude is so much better, in April the Giants had their first winning month since June 2016. Now, lets go Ducks

    I didn't think of that, maybe Dusty's the talisman we needed.

    Ken Giles after giving up a 3 run bomb in the 9th of a 0-0 game. Verlander had pitched the first 8 with 3 hits 0 walks and 14 punchouts.

    Ftr the Yankees are the mid 90s lsu steroid team on steroids. Biggest group of guys I've seen on one team.

    Judge 6'7 285
    Stanton 6'6 250
    Betances 6'8 265
    CC 6'6 300+
    Cole 6'5 240
    They have one guy maybe 2 under 6 foot.
    CC is fat but the entire rest of the lineup looks roided out. They may be the favorites the more I see of them.

    Sanchez looks about 250. Chapman is about 6'6.

    You know better than that. Stanton and Judge will probably strike out a combined what, 650? That is insane.

    Judge has already struck out 48 times in 127 @bats. Stanton 54 in 156. That's insane but when they make contact the ball goes a long way.

    At this point it looks like a 3 horse race for best in the AL. Make that 4. You can't count out the Angels. Any team with Mike Trout on the roster can be dangerous. Maybe being in a tight race in the west will keep the Astros focused all season.

    How in the hell does a MLB team bat out of order? How does that happen?
