As if on cue, Posey used last night's game against the Cubs to refute Joe Morgan's case for Jason Heyward as ROY and once again drew comparisons to the best individual performance in baseball history, real or imagined -- the Baseball Bugs (1946) episode.
Posey hit a home-run to lead the Giants continually moribund offense to a 1-0 win over the near-equally comatose Cubs offense. Presumably, Posey also had an impact defensively in helping pitcher Matt Cain and three relievers to pitch a combined shutout. That ought to keep Mike Krukow and Brian Sabean quiet for a bit. Then again, Posey is having a game to forget tonight, so far. Once again the Giants are scoreless.

I still use the term Bugs Bunny Change-up for a real killer change. I always thought he got three strikes on the same batter, it was so good. It turns out that ol' Bugs actually gets nine strikes and three outs on the same change-up, a feat not performed before or since. What other pitcher can say that?
Speaking of awful swings, what is up with Panda? Those hacks he's putting out there would inspire a "Next time hit him with your purse" crack from bench jockeys at the high school level.
Maybe if Renteria or DeRosa were healthy, Bochy could sit Sandoval. Because he sure isn't getting any better. He's currently hitting .265 or thereabouts and I would just guestimate that he's dropped 20 points off his average from poor conditioning and another 20 from bad plate discipline. Whether the vision problems noted in spring training or his personal troubles are related to one or both categories, IDK. Hopefully, he comes back in better shape all the way around in 2011, because the Giants could use the old Panda's bat.
