Bravos, Bums, Buster and Bonds

The good? A nice series win on the shoulder of The Franchise on Wednesday.

The bad? The return of Bad Zito, who, among other things, continues this cast's frustrating inability to put away the most has of has-beens, giving up a three run shot to 34 year old catcher Danny Ardoin, a guy who hasn't hit a home run in three years.

The ugly? Six days out, Buster Posey, the supposed future of the Giants, still hasn't signed, joining third rounder Roger Kieschnick and fourth rounder Brandon Crawford in the calling-Sabean's-bluff crowd. Things could get ugly around these parts if the front office pisses away any goodwill it garnered with it's first position player oriented draft in eons.

Before you throw yourself out the nearest window, check out this interview Eric SanInocencio conducted over at Baseball Digest Daily Live with Jim Callis at Baseball America on the issue of the signing deadline and the situation with Posey.

Callis thinks Posey, as well as Pirates pick Pedro Alvarez, who went #2 overall, will sign in the last hour, and throws out a few reasons (think green and presidential) why it makes a lot of sense for them to do so.

(Callis draft discussion starts at about 20:00, Posey discussion at 27:45.)

Also, Boch thinks Barry Bonds could be back at Pac Bell tonight.
