FOX has a Saturday blackout, where their game is the only game broadcasted, and it starts at 1pm. It's the "game of the week." They always have the usual douchebag announcers, who call the game every week.
But, instead of having the regular douchebags, they have the A's play by play guy (Kipe), and the Rangers color guy (Tag) calling the game. That is a brilliant concept, enemies calling the game together.

I'd listen to that. They should do it with all White Sox games so everyone can take turns telling Hawk Harrelson to go fuck himself.

As a Trailblazers fan though, I can somewhat understand why the locals like the homer announcers. The Blazers announcers are huge homers.

Being a homer is annoying, but whatever, I can live with it. That old man sounds like he's having an unnerving orgasm every time one of the White Sox hits a homerun. Inexcusable.

Yet often times he will say nothing if the opponent hits a HR, like it didn't happen. His job is still to call the game. And every time an opponent strikes out, his "HE GONE," call is such an annoyance. That call should be reserved for strikeouts of players despised by the opponents in key situations, not all 1,379 strikeouts per season? It's the equalivalent of saying, "go take a seat Nancy Pants," to someone like Derek Jeter or Joe Mauer.

Who thinks the Giants were one of the best teams last year, and they are missing the playoffs this year with virtually the same team. Same thing with the 2006 Cardinals. With that said, I think the Phillies are as close to a slam dunk for the championship this year as I recall seeing in my adult life. With Hammels being an infinately better pitcher than he was in 2009, it will be really tough to win three or four games in a series against Hallady, Lee, and Hammels pitching every game. Even if they needed a fourth starter, Oswalt is better than most of the playoff teams second starters.

But this team also got a little bit fucked by injury. Like losing last year's RotY. I'm not going to argue that the Giants were the best team last year, but they've definitely gotten rocked by some shitty injuries this season, and the lineup they've been sending out for the past two months looks very little like the one they started in the playoffs.

Okay, I'll play. I'm not going to look any of this up, nor did I when I said last year's team was similar to this year's team. So this is my opinion having virtually no knowledge of either Giants teams, but knowledge of baseball in general.
Wilson and Affeldt have both pitched most of the year, and if I'm not mistaken, would both be available if they reached the playoffs. Just because they happen to be injured at this second does not mean it's been a crutch on the Giants all year.
Injuries is a poor argument when dealing with an A's fan, whose team has been setting records for DL stints the last four years. I'll give you Posey getting injured sucks, but you have to expect at least one regular should get severely injured each year.
Renteria is not a loss, neither is Uribe (although he seems to entirely outproduce his potential for some odd reason, so maybe he is a loss). As you pointed out, Rowand is terrible, so you or I replacing him is an upgrade. I don't know anything about Schierholtsuzh, I've never heard of Ichirogawa, and Sanchez was a fire in the bottle pick up. Great hitter, no power, no speed, no D. His negatives outweight his positives in the long run.
I can't imagine the replacements for the players I've mentioned to be any worse, minus the catcher. The pitching staff is still in tact, and I haven't mentioned the addition of Carlos Beltran (yeah, so he got hurt, he would still be available in the playoffs, right?). The team is better on paper this year in my mind, even with the minor injuries.

Your sig is a home run Know!
Your humor never strikes out! It's always classy and never goes into foul territory.
I like how you always tell Drew to "put a cork(bat) in it"!
As a mod you have a very open stance so it's nice to see you get in the dirt with Drew every now and again.
You oil my mit.
You cracker my jacks
You Pinch my Hitter.
You tag my bases.
You infield my outfield.
You catch my pop up.
You're the addictive quality in my dip.
You round up my 9 (inning).
You Griffey my Junior.
This is how you talk Baseball right?

Hilarious Friendly. However, there wasn't enough statistical analysis and irrelevant player comparisons to get you over the middle infielders head. You made contact though.

Maybe they'll throw an obscene amount of money at Fielder during the off season? Maybe Morrow will catch up to his peripherals? Maybe Ricky Romero will put in another studly year?
Oooorrrr maybe the Red Sox and Yankees will continue producing the talent promised by Satan when he purchased their collective souls.
