We're sure y'all heard the big rumor out there that the Giants might trade either The Enchanter or Matt Cain to the Blue Jays for Alex Rios. This morning it was Timmy but now SFGate is saying it's Cain. Either way, our opinion is this-- hell to the noes. ...

-On a cold, wintery afternoon that probably matched how A's fans are feeling right now, the A's went down to the Tigers 3-0 to now be down in the series 3-0. It happens every year in baseball come playoff time-- one team gets in explicably hot and can do no wrong (the '02 Angels, the '03 Marlins, the '04 and '05 Sox) and that this year is the Tigers. The A's, meanwhile, appear to be in that vicious playoff cycle in which hitting becomes almost impossible so the team presses and makes hitting even that much more impossible. Yeah, it's not over til it's over and the '04 Red Sox famously came from behind by an 0-3 margin, but.......

Last week, we did something we never thought we'd do: a Giants game was on and we didn't watch. Oh, we knew the game was on and even felt a twinge of desire to watch it, but we didn't. Then the next night, another game was on and we didn't watch that either. And over the weekend, when the Giants played three normally Must See TV games against the hated Dodgers, we didn't watch those games either. That's right. We are now officially over the Giants. ...

The Giants said hello to a new friend yesterday and resigned relief pitcher Tim Worrell. Worrell was with the team in the Glory Days between 2001-2003 and was involved in two of the most gut wrenching moments of SFist's life-- Game 3 against the Marlins in 2003 and Game 6 of the Series. Which, actually, isn't that fair as we like Worrell. He was always a steady setup man and performed nobly as a reliever when Nenn went down in 2003 (and helped our fantasy team come in 2nd place) and we never really blamed him for the collapses. We blame Felix Rodriguez. We'll always remember his goalie like stop in the eleventh inning (we think) of that climatic game against the Fish which made us think for just a second, a smidgeon of a second, that everything will be allright. Or something like that. We've been blocking most of that game for years now. ...

SFist went to last Sunday's Giants game against the Marlins and discovered a few things. Like the unknown gem of Giants' food fare, the Sheboygan, a grease drenched, grilled to perfection brat that's totally unhealthy, totally greasy, and totally yum. We also realized that in the midst of the dreariness of this season, all the hand-wringing about attendance might just not be necessary. Because on a beautiful, sunny, warm day, the ballpark was still packed......
