clear crazy fair five four last name point throwing
After what I went through with Arizona, the last four or five days, they were crazy with all the speculation out there. I don't think it was fair to this organization. One thing I want to make clear is that I wasn't throwing my name out there. It got to the point where it didn't stop.

The Dodgers are hanging around, the Diamondbacks are a good team and I'm so used to the Giants winning 90 or more games I can't picture them ever being out of it.

We need to find out who the real Tim Stauffer is ---- the guy we called up in May and the guy who threw that shutout, or the guy who struggled a good part of the year.
