| What the Giants should do this offseason: Nothing. The best move Brian Sabean ever made was not trading Tim Lincecum to the Toronto Blue Jays for Alex Rios and I think he should stick to the strategy of doing nothing and giving these younger guys a chance to play. We can’t afford to guess wrong again like we did when we signed guys like Renteria and Rowand. I want to see Nate Schierholtz and John Bowker play more. They need more at bats. Both of these guys have hit .300 or better in the minors and with Randy Winn out of the way now, they’ll both have more time to see if they can really produce up here at the major league level. Also, I am a Travis Ishikawa fan. I know people aren’t too sure about his bat, but this guy fields his position very well and has shown that he can hit at AT&T park. There’s other guys who need to have a chance too, Jesus Guzman and Eugenio Velez to name a few. Let’s see what we have before we do anything drastic. I say spend the money and sign Cain, Wilson, and Lincecum to longterm contracts and then see what we have in the minors before going out to sign these big free agents. Jonathan Sanchez is not going to land us Prince Fielder or Adrian Gonzalez. Prince Fielder hit close to 50 homers and over 110 RBIs. The brewers will want more than just Sanchez. The Padres also will want more then just Sanchez (they’re trying to rebuild not take a gamble on one guy to possibly take them all the way) They need a whole new farm system and that means talent for talents with an "S". So, see if we have any diamonds in the rough and there HAS to be, in a minor league system that has been labeled as the winningist this past year, someone else besides sandoval who can hit. Once we find that, the next year we add one more sweet bat from a stronger free agent class(this year is a weak one) and we'll be in line to make a run at the championship. *sigh* | | |
| "I hate summer school. I hate summer school. I hate summer school."
I wonder if I close my eyes and wish really hard while saying this line over and over again, all my hardships will disappear and this last week of school will be over.
Come on.
Snap. It's not working. It was worth a shot.
It's the last week of summer school. I have a take home test and two essays due tomorrow. I feel sick. That seems to be a reoccurring theme when it comes to me and school huh? I always seem to feel sick. It's not even the flu or a cold or anything like that. It's just sickness in my head and my stomach. Maybe I just can't take being judged and getting a grade for my performance very well.
If everything works out with summer school, I'll be all set to sign my transfer agreement for UC Davis. The reality is really sinking in. Once I get that contract sign, then I'm guaranteed admission as long as I maintain my gpa above a 3.0. Ugh. I'm not looking forward to everything I have to do to get there. I am looking forward to the possibility of actually going -- more and more with each successful semester.
As for now, lets hope coffee does the trick to get me through these two essays.

| Summer school started. It's pretty intense. I didn't know it was only 5 weeks. Apparently each day is worth a week and each class period is about 2 and half hours. I'm taking two classes and I have a midterm every Thursday and papers due on the same day. I think this is pretty ridiculous. Its just the first week of school and I already feel like I'm drowning in work. I swear I'm having anxiety attacks or something. Like, I feel so overwhelmed with everything I have to learn that I feel like throwing up just thinking about it.
I had a classmate last semester who told me that fear is good--that it keeps you in check and its not necessarily a bad thing. Fear can motivate you and it will lead you to success.
I hope what he said is true...
Cause I'm terrified.
