Jus' curious. Why so down on the Giants. You've got 'em worse than the Royals. I realize they don't have Eric Byrnes yet, but...

Hiya Kellia
Why am I down on the Giants?
1) "trading" Schmidt for Zito is a net zero
2) they've done nothing to get any offense or get any younger
3) their defense outside of Vizquel and Roberts is very shaky
4) Armando Benitez is still their closer
5) Barryiumenema is still a distraction
