And so it begins. The Giants begin the 2011 season in Chavez Ravine amidst a deluge of news. Zito got into a car accident yesterday and arrives at the stadium in a neck brace. Ross and Wilson start the season on the DL. Witness after witness destroy Bonds character. Panda starts at third after losing a small child off his midsection. The slowest corner outfielder tandem in the history of baseball are starting. And Belt starts at first.
Giants management understand the concept of history repeating itself and will take a chance on Belt in contrast to last year's decision of delaying Posey's promotion until Memorial Day. He's gotten on base twice and looks good in the field. So far so good but many difficult decisions are in the future when Ross is healthy again - who goes to Fresno?
The new ESPN baseball crew is neither an upgrade nor downgrade. Hershiser is a bore. Schulman is . . .. who? Bobby V is quiet. The highlight of the broadcast was Valentine's dye job. We have lost the laughability factor of a Morgan/Miller non-sensical baseball analysis. ESPN also felt that they had to say goodbye to Miller by zooming in on him in his post-excommunication vocation. The powers that be have decided that the voice of the Giants will only be a voice and not a face. Schulman/BV/Hersh all paid lip service to him. I have a fever and the only prescription is more . . . . Krukow and Kuiper.
Lincecum gives up no earned runs, Giants lose.
