It's tough to be a Giants fan sometimes



So we're 2-3 games into the Joe Panik experiment and we're all ready to admit defeat and disappointment?

Oh yeah, and Buster Posey sucks!!

SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants tried to spark a spiraling team by calling up second baseman Joe Panik from the minor leagues. They’re expected to add another new face today – Adam Duvall, anyone? – as Angel Pagan is all but certain to cozy up to the disabled list.
Let's not be delusional -- I know defeats are tough to take in droves -- but Adam Duvall's career minor league OPS is .842 versus Joe Panik's .803 coming into this year. So let's not harbor any illusions that Adam Duvall is going to swoop in like Troy Glaus and save the season.

I'm sure it didn't help anyone's disposition whatsoever that Young Beedah -- or what ever the hell his alter ego's name is -- did this last night.







Tyler Beede gave up six runs off 10 hits while striking out four in 6.2 innings pitched.(AP)  

Granted, the kid is in a tough spot, pitching for his team and trying to stay clean enough to sign a big contract. That can't be an easy place.

But......I don't even know where to begin.

Maybe he should change his stage name to Young GetsHitALot or something.  At least until he announces his presence with more authority. I just didn't get the future ace of the staff vibe from him at all. More like a struggling sophomore at times. Hopefully, it's the contract thing, which would kinda suck for his teammates and the "gamer" crowd.  Maybe I'm reading too much into it. IDK.

Oh yeah, did you know that Buster Posey sucks all of a sudden?

It's tough to be a Giants fan at times. Many times.   How soon they forget.
