And realistically, no matter what the stats or the standings (or the Giants’ PR team) have told us, we haven’t been in the playoff hunt since August 24th. Yeah. That game. Since after last night’s loss we are now almost completely mathematically eliminated from the playoffs as well, the proper procedure is to retreat, regroup, and rethink toward next season, allowing our young talent (Posey, Bumgarner, Runsler?) to gain some valuable big-league experience by putting them in some meaningless big-league games while contemplating some upper management decisions for the next year.
If I were Bill Neukom, owner of the Giants, I would tell my general manager Brian Sabean (whose contract is up for renewal at the end of the season) that if he wanted to keep his job after several less-than-stellar transactions over the past few years, he will need to do the following:
1) stop sucking at his job
2) learn what OBP is and why it is important
3) build a time machine and use it to go back to last winter and un-sign Edgar Renteria
…then go back to last last winter and un-sign Aaron Rowand
…then go back to last last last winter and un-sign Barry Zito
…then go back to last last last last winter and un-hire Bruce Bochy
…then go back to the winter of 1955 and make sure George and Lorraine McFly meet and kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance to preserve history.
And then maybe… just… hang out there for a while? In 1955, I mean. Y’know, so he won’t give Bengie Molina that two-year extension or sign Jason Bay to the 6-year/80 million dollar contract this summer.
Problems solved. Playoffs here we come.
Now… somebody play Buster freakin’ Posey already.
