Jesus christ this is stupid.

But they have won two World Series in the last three years.

You know how impressive that is? The last non-Yankee team to do that only pulled it off because the other team's closer might as well have been punting it toward the plate. Oh, never mind.

I knew Mitch must have said something dumb, but I figured it was praising the Royals. I have to admit he surprised me with his creativity with the David Wright thing.

It's going on 20 years and I still can't look at Fregosi without anger.

Would his head assplode if he was told how good Pagan and Scutaro are on paper? Or at least on a spreadsheet?

Pagan 2010-12 10.1 rWAR. Scutaro 2010-12: 6.9

Well played sir, well played.

They brought back Angel Pagan for four years at $40 million — not a ton of money. They also retained Marco Scutaro. Those two moves alone tell me that the Giants get it when it comes to how important “complementary” guys are to the success of a team in today’s game. You can buy players, but you can’t buy chemistry!

Sounds like you definitely can buy chemistry.
