Cain FTW

Definitely gotta agree.

[Mit]

Catcher Bengie Molina and Outfielder Nate Schierholtz have a common problem. That problem is the San Francisco Giants. Yesterday, Bengie and Nate expressed their feelings about the Giants.

Bengie: "I don't like my current salary or the city of San Francisco. Why do you think I'm hitting so poorly? I really would like out of here."

Nate: "I barely get any time in the starting lineup. I've asked Bochy many times to put me in the lineup, but he says that Rowand, Young, and Winn are more deserving. What the [expletive]! This is an outrage. I want out of here.

Today, the Giants went ahead and put Bengie and Nate on the trade block.

[T.Dot]

Didn't you just make a trade?
I'd wait a while

Nice updates. You've been smacking the ball lately.
