I hate winter

Hi. It's Jax. I took a few weeks off there because I at some weird green apples from next door and I wasn't feeling well. Also, it's raining and I just kind of felt like hibernating.

So sue me.

Alot has gone on in the last few weeks. We have Superbowl teams, finally. (My latest line, Steelers win by 7. Call 1-800-Jax-Picks to place bets. I'm set up offshore now.)

Also, the Australian Open tennis is on. I like Nadal on the men's side. That guy Monfils (11) from France is interesting. The women's side, I have no idea.

The Giants have potential lineups floating around. Manager Bruce Bochy is on the radio saying how much better the team is now than last year. Here's what we're looking like.

1) Randy Winn (OF)
2) Edgar Renteria (SS)
3) Pablo Sandoval (1B)
4) Bengie Molina (C)
5) Fred Lewis (OF)
6) Aaron Rowand (OF)
7) Travis Ishikawa (3B)
8) Second-Base (Emmanuel Burriss, Kevin Frandsen or Eugenio Velez)
9) Pitcher

It's not exactly stacked with power, but I think we can get above .500 with it. Manny Ramirez would look so good in there. The Giants strategy in the NL West is all about pitching, anyway. Just shut down teams with Lincecum, Randy Johnson, Matt Cain and then throw in Wilson to close.

Nobody cares, but the World Baseball Classic is coming up and a few Giants are in there. Big Money Bengie Molina, Jonathan Sanchez, and Pablo Sandoval. Sanchez is playing for Puerto Rico (isn't that part of ...) and Sandoval is playing for Venuzeula.

Traitors.
