Blogging the Offseason is a 30 team series in which I ask a blogging representative from each MLB team a series of ten questions about their desires and thoughts surrounding the offseason. Check out all of them here.Today's NL team is the San Francisco Giants and our guest Giants fan Zach from The Big Picture.1. Will the Giants sign an offseason bat that's actually worth the money, or will they again throw money at someone well past his prime like they did Renteria?I doubt it. I really do.

Bengie Molina is a free agent this offseason, are you in favor of resigning him or simpling rolling the dice with Buster Posey? What do you think the Giants do?I like Molina's heart. I like his bat about 30% of the time. I like his handling of the pitchers 80...

Barry Bonds 7 MVPs

Oh, he's a jerk....a jerk who has no sense of the real world, it seems. He's moronic "opinions" tend to sink as quickly as one of his home runs into McCovey Cove. He pushes everyone aside...then whines about not getting his just due. I don't think he...

I Gotta Say, Today Was A Good Day
