Two Things I Hate About Last Night's Game
1) Why the hell are you taking Jason Schmidt out of a game in which he is pitching a shutout? Is there anybody on the Giants' staff that you would rather have in there? Jason Schmidt after 119 pitches is still better than any Giants pitcher on five days' rest. Stop the bullshit micromanaging and let the horse work it out himself.
2) Anyone else bothered by the fact that Jose Cruz Jr. was presented with his Gold Glove from last year before the game? Against the Giants? A similar scenario would involve inviting George W. Bush to Cannes to watch Michael Moore pick up the Palme d'Or for "Fahrenheit 9/11".
From an AP report:
"A night to remember for me, for sure," said Cruz, who signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent in the offseason. "It's great to beat guys you know and have bragging rights."Dude, you beat us when you were a Giant. You're the reason we didn't beat the Marlins in the playoffs, and it was all ironically due to your lack of fielding prowess. You should not be taking delight in a Giants' loss. Okay, Jose? Screw you.
