Well, what was one of the biggest rumors in sports is now official-- Marcia did indeed get it on with Jan.
No, wait, not that.
In a matter of minutes, the Giants will officially announce that them and Barry are no more. Donezo. Kaput. Finito. This has been speculated on, well, pretty much the entire season but was discussed more and more in the past couple of weeks. And now it's true.
Naturally, everyone discovered this the old fashioned way, on Barry's blog. In it, he says that he had a meeting with Peter Magowan yesterday in which Peter said the Giants' wouldn't be bringing him back next year as the team wants to begin the oft-delayed and much necessary rebuilding process.
This weekend will be the Giants last home-stand of the season. While Barry hasn't played in awhile and has an owie on his big toe, we will probably see a lot of him this weekend. In fact, his departure will make this weekend Must See as it will be the last time we'll be able to see #25 in the oh-so-familiar home vanilla cream uniform step up to the plate. Expect lots of standing ovations, some tears, and probably a few video tributes. Say what you will about the dude, but for what he's done for the team over the years, he deserves it.

But is there joy in Mudville?
this backs up sabean' incinuations that magawan has been stepping on his toes for years and doing these deals himself. i wanted sabean fired for resigning guys like barry and morris after career ending elbow surgery. guess it's magowan that really needs to be fired.
Well... so, Barry? I'm sorry but I was just not that into you.
Now maybe the Giants can afford some pitchers instead of the belly itchers they have now, and win a worlds series.
They're fine for starting pitching. The bullpen is terrible, and they're going to need at least two good bats. Go find 'em.
Yay! Finally, a baseball decision from the Giants' front office!
You might recall my adamant stance on not discounting Bonds' achievement... but that doesn't mean that I think that keeping the dude around once he's broken the record and lost ALL his sparkle makes any sense.
Maybe they can use some of his annual payroll to sign the entire Florida Marlins squad.
Good. He's a Dick.
