Hey Billy -

How did the Giants play last year?
Awesome Winning record and a Division title with that Senior Citizens Softball team they threw out there, right?

Wrong.

They had the 27th worst batting average and the second FEWEST runs scored in the majors or their way to finish 20 games under .500 and 19 games out in the NL West.

I mentioned two teams who were competing with older lineups. The Giants didn’t.

You sure know how to count beans, but you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Winning in baseball, come down to more than simply putty a young lineup out on the field.

[...] only thing ESPN ever reported on from the Bay was Barry Bonds. Add to the fact that the Giants were an old ballclub that couldn’t hit and there was nothing to really speak [...]
