The man with no answers!

OK, I am officially sick to my stomach.  I’ve heard everything now.   Most of talk radio today wasn’t about the offensive nightmare that was the Giants on Sunday.  There was very little talk about the Eli of old, hanging is head and throwing up INTs (well, there was a little talk about it).  And nobody was talking about the lack of sacks on McNabb for the 3rd time all season.  It wasn’t Eli’s fault.  It wasn’t Coughlin’s fault.  It wasn’t the offense or the defense, or the lack of Burress, or Strahan, or Shockey….. Nope… Do you know who was to blame for the loss on Sunday…..

 THE FANS!!!  Are you kidding me??? The Fans??? You are freaking blaming the fans?  And it’s not just the radio hosts talking about it being the fans fault…. The fans are saying it to…. Yep, that’s right, now you have fans pointing fingers at other fans.  Give me a freaking break guys….

Apparently, the fans aren’t loud enough, and don’t truely give the Giants a home field advantage.  Young fans are blaming old fans, saying that the old fans don’t stand up on 3rd and short, or during a goal line stance, and they don’t cheer loud enough, and it doesn’t provide a true home field advantage.

Excuse me, but that is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.  The Giants lost for MANY, MANY reasons on Sunday, and not one of those reasons were the fans.  I’d really like to hear someone from the Giants speak up and take blame for the loss, and be man enough to put the blame where it really belongs, and take it off of the fans, because it’s not the fans fault the Giants lost… It’s the Giants fault!

In Pedro news, it’s looking more and more like the former Cy Young award winner will not be returning to the Mets next season.  The Mets still have 1 slot open in their rotation but the top 2 players to fill that hole appear to be either Derek Lowe or Oliver Perez.  You could also mention Jonathan Niese for that slot as well.  With it looking pretty inevitable that he will not be in orange and blue next season, Pedro has started to look elsewhere.

One team Pedro is interested in is the Florida Marlins.  This is primarily because he lives in Florida, and also because he is a MUCH better pitcher in warm weather.  It would probably also be better for him health wise.  The Marlins originally appeared interested, but now it looks like they have retracted their interest.

Another team that has been mentioned for Pedro is the Washington Nationals.  Remember that the Nationals are the former Expos, the team who Pedro had his most effective seasons with.  This would reunit him with some former coachs, administrative staff, etc.

One mentionable point is that both teams that have been connected to Pedro are NL East division rivals of the Mets.  If he ends up signing with one of these teams, watch for some dramatics in late September if either team is in a position to play spoiler. :-(  Lets hope they have locked up at least the wild card by then.

That’s my 2 cents… I’d love to hear yours!
