    It's also lead by great scouting!! If Billy Beane only listened to his saberheads, Cahill would have been traded by now.

    Exactly my point, Beane isn't all stats One of the biggest misconceptions of Moneyball

    Went to the game today and good win! Good thing as Beuhrle pretty much owns us. Hopefully we can find a way to get to him tomorrow.

    You need Mark Ellis to start hitting better than Micheal Jordan.

    It was good to see Gio bounce back after that seven run fiasco that didn't count.

    He's been on since the all-star break last year. I wasn't really concerned about 1 game whether it counted or not.

    We've scored 2 runs in our last three games and Geren had Ellis (barely over .200) hitting fifth against Lincecum today.

    Fuck yeah!

    Don't worry, we'll win 3 in a row and then lose 3 in a row. It seems to be the pattern this year.
