Looks like my upcoming treatise on the pros and cons of retaining the services of Brian Sabean is moot. Both the Chron and the Merc report today that both are coming back next year. The Chron's Shea is vague, except to say both will return in 2010. But Baggs writes that Sabean will get multiple years, and Bochy's deal should "dovetail" with Sabean's contract.
I'm listening to the radio broadcast right now, and Tony Bennett is singing his final "I Left My Heart" of the season after Lincecum's 15th win, all of which soothes my sour stomach a little. Unlike some of you, I think the Giants can continue to improve with S & B at the helm. It's within the realm of possibility. I would've been semi-OK with a one-year extension for both. But I wanted change, and Sabean's crap deals for Garko and Sanchez in July tipped me over the edge. Locking in both guys for multiple years is ridiculous.
I've got crazy day job to deal with this afternoon, so I'll write more tonight. Meanwhile, if you're suicidal about this, please let us know how you're going to do yourself in.
