And Now Your 2008 San Francisco Giants....

I tuned into the Brian Sabean show last night with KNBR host Ralph "the Razor" Barbieri and it was ho-hum fu. I realize that Sabean can only do so much with someone else in control of the purse-strings, but his answers are so rehearsed that the show has very little to offer.

And because I am a San Francisco Giants' fan I will endure the bushwah for as long as it takes the Gigantes to win the whole enchilada. And it might just be like what had to happen to some Boston Red Sox old-timer fans who passed away moments after the ball off Mookie Wilson's bat found its way through Bill Buckner's legs. My memory of the Giants coming close will be that of Reggie Sanders letting the attack of the foam fingers get the best of him on a ball hit by Scott Spiezio that I will forever think the athletic Sanders should have caught!

So rather than rambling on mindlessly I will refer to the Stevie Wonder composition off of his Fulfillingness' First Finale album of 1974. On this disc was a song entitled You Haven't Done Nothing which best describes the San Francisco Giants' front office, once Jeff Kent split the scene for smoggy Chavez Ravine.

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
with decisions that are made by you.

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are going to change right from wrong
'cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing!"

It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else.

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are going to change right from wrong
'cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing!"

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
that's becoming real life
but when misled who knows a person's mind
can turn as cold as ice?

Why do you keep on making us hear your song
telling us how you are changing right from wrong
'cause if you really want to hear our views
"YOU HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING!"


Thanks to the great Stevie Wonder. Keep the faith Giants' fans. Continue attending ballgames, at beautiful PacBell/AT&T Park, because there is always the possibility you will see a record established. Even if it is at the Giants' expense.
