So I guess more 1 run games through 2013/14. The pitchers will have to be in the “best shapes of their lives” to keep pitching shutouts in order to win games. Hopefully the bullpen stays strong because they will be needed badly. And the rumors will continue that Cain and Lincecum will bolt for less offensively challenged teams. We’ll see if they can get Lincecum to sign more than a 1 or 2yr deal, while Cain will most likely sign a 4 yr deal…I hope.

Colletti obviously was not trained properly.

Or then, maybe he was.

I’m going to guess pretty high…

What, forty-three year olds who have been out of baseball five years?
