Giants Calculus

Call it the Anti-Disney Theorem:

There exists an inverse relationship to the magnitude of historic achievement in a single game to the chances of a San Francisco Giants win.
On a night in which the Giants honored Omar Vizquel for breaking Aparicio's record and the Giants turned their first triple play this millenium, the boys couldn't break through against the even more pathetic Padres in 13 innings.

Between the fact that history occurred, Matt Cain started and Greg Maddux was pitching for the bad guys, I shouldn't have even bothered tuning in.

In perhaps his last regularly scheduled start, Mischcast Pat takes on fellow injury replacement (for the nasty Chris Young) Josh Banks in the afternoon game.

- Ortmeier to DL (with a broken finger he has no idea how he broke - seriously) and Brian Horwitz up.

Ortmeier is quickly going the way of JR Phillips, Damon Minor, and Lance Niekro.

Schierholtz stays down to get regular playing time. I dig that.

So...Travis Denker? No one sees any problems with him having started one game since his call up?

Discussion Junction: How stupid is this Denker call up, and management as a whole? Also, do you agree with the Anti-Disney Theorem?

1. Very
2. Yes, considering it dates back to last year and Barry's 756th home run.

These two teams should just play sudden death this year. First team to be winning after a full inning should win. No need to go 8 scoreless innings on both sides of the ball, just to start deciding it in the 9th, 10th, 13th...

...I don't get why it's called the Anti-Disney Theorem, but I agree with it.
