We don't need that Dodger POS Manny. We have Sandoval, Ishakawa (who is playing a lot better than people anticipated), and not much else... but we do have the best rotation in MLB.

LoooooooooooooooooolI dont think most people have any clue who you are talking about, so not sure what they anticipated from him. Rotation is good on paper, but we shall see how they react to 1.7 runs a game in support. Poor Matt Cain, the Giants should just trade him to the Red Sox or the Yankees so he can win a Cy Young or two and have a good career.That being said, the Giants should be somewhat competitive and no team will like going in there to face that rotation.

poor matt cain. i believe he has a career ERA under 3.5 and has 20 more losses than wins. yay giants run support. we do have a stellar rotation, but zero offense. The Dodgers have the opposite with Manny. I can't even name more than one starter for the Dodgers this year besides Kershaw.

Chad Billingsley > Giants pitchers other then Lincecum

[Moneyball16]

Cain 3.74 ERA, 30-43 record.

Does he really only have 30 career wins? Wow, I shouldn't be surprised but that number seems so low for someone with his stuff who hasn't had any major injuries or anything.

It's called pitching for the Giants. :/Also, I bet 3 Giants pitchers will finish with better stats than Billingsley

Define stats and you have yourself a bet. I'll even give you odds on that one because I'd feel like I was taking advantage of you otherwise.

wins/era and K to walk ratio?

I'd prefer era+ and whip...wins is fine but not a very good stat for your side of the bet. I would require there be a min of 25 starts by Chad for the bet to go off.

alright, era+ whip sounds good. This includes Lincecum also for me. 25 starts for everyone makes sense too.

Obv Lincecum included. I guess I could make you pick 3, but not really necessary I dont think.So, 3 Giants starting pitchers have to finish with more wins, a better era+, and a better whip over a min of 25 starts. If Bills has a better number in any category than any of the 3 Giants pitchers who qualify, I win. If the Giants somehow don't have 3 sps that make 25+ starts, or if Bills doesn't, the bet is off. Is that right?

Still have to work out terms.

sounds good. I'm cool with money, but do you also want to do something like the loser has to wear the opposing teams gear to a game and take pics or something stupid like that. We could do that for the NL west standings bet.

[GeneralGeeWhiz]

The Giants have more wins than any team in any professional sport, on earth. lol at least I have another reason to stay a loyal giants fan.over 10,200 wins.

[miamicanes]

I like Lincecum (SP) but I predict his little body cant take the way he pitches. It would be wise for the Giantsto cut his innings and work on his mechanics. But this is the Giants so I suspect they will do nothing. They NEEDED Manny. Even if they wont say publicy. Outside of Rowand and maybe Renteria (who is a solid bat) who else is gonna produce. Does anyone think Molina is as good as he was most of the season last year? Winn (old)?Outside of the Mets, the Giants were always a team I would've like to see do well. Sabean has made that impossibe so I would like to see the Giants continue to be terrible so maybe, just maybe ownership will tell him to take a hike.

What if one of their retarded fans loses it, kills one of the players, slices off his branded number on his arm and puts it in another player's freezer then kidnaps that player's son and makes him hit a homerun to save his kid. Now that would be exciting.
