apparently the Giants offered Kung-Fu Panda a 3 year $40 million dollar deal which he turned down. That sounds like a pretty fair deal to me.
Giants GM Sabean mentioned Pablo is going to have to have an incredible season if he thinks the Giants are going to offer more than that.
I have such white-hot hatred for that Blue Baseball Team, that I am a fan of the Giants in sympathy.

After this weekend's game in which Madison Bumgarner (stage name?) gave up 5 runs but then hit a grandslam and a sac fly to make up for it, I expect this bandwagon to fill up quite quickly.

Matt Cain looked good in his last start which was a huge relief. Lincecum and Vogelsong are still questionable. One of those two need to figure it out if the Giants want to make the playoffs. I'd guess Vogelsong would be the more likely option. Its looking more and more like Sabean should have let the Freak walk.
You still have to be concerned about the corners. Kung Fu Panda and the Baby Giraffe are wildly inconsistent, as is Pence in right field.
I wouldn't count on Vogelsong for much of anything. Also, if you use Pence correctly, he is not so bad. Play him against lefties and as a defensive player and you can manage his results better.
Giants are in a three-game funk. But on the bright side, they are still not in Oakland!
The Beard is working spectacularly as an orange and black secret agent, although he needs to be more subtle.
Funny because I support the team in blue because of the giants stance on San Jose.

So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Funk, be reasonable. Let's compromise: the Giants get the Silicon Valley billionaires and the A's can keep their monopoly on the East Bay. Seems like a win-win for everyone!
Also, thanks for the pitching!
You only have the San Jose territorial rights because of a historical accident by the A's. They gave their split rights to the Giants were looking at moving out of the Bay area. When the Giants didn't move, the rights didn't get transferred back. Despite this, the Giants act like those rights have always been there and are essential to their brand. Bud Selig has basically allowed the A's franchise to be slowly bled to death over this historical accident. I'm frustrated as all hell about the A's stadium situation. It needs to be fixed and Bud Selig's committee to investigate this that has taken years now is ridiculous. Give the rights to the A's and let them move. San Jose wants them and the A's want to be there.
