"Giants' Posey: What can't he do?"

Buster Posey is the next great hope for the Giants. I think they should keep Big Money Bengie Molina at catcher and shift Posey to first or second base in the next year or two.

Giants GM Brian Sabean has said that players need to spend less time in the minors now because there are so many other leagues -- winter ball, fall league, Hawaiian league, Cape Cod league, Venezuela league -- they're playing baseball all year, 24/7. Tim Lincecum was a product of all that too, and look how well he's done, so young.

Speaking of The Franchise, as of Wednesday, Lincecum led the NL in ERA (2.54), strikeouts (225) and is second in wins (16-3). The problem is that the people who vote on the Cy Young (East Coast sportswriters) know dick about the Giants besides that they are a losing team. The Snakes have nosedived lately, 2-8 in their last 10 games, so that could hurt Brandon Webb's chances. (P.S. I blew that whole D-Backs sail in to the playoffs prediction).

I just hope Lincecum can dominate in his final starts and make a real pitch for the Cy Young. Then let's pay him Zito type money for him to stay. OK, maybe not that much, but close.

On another note, I think I have fleas. Or ticks or something. I keep ssccratching the side of my neck with my hind leg and I just can't shake this one bugger. I hopped in bed last night as everyone was going to sleep around here to show them, but they didn't get it.

I have fleas, dammit! I slept on the floor. (Enjoy the photo of me at right.)

Get me some tick spray up in this,
