Nifty Gifties

The Lane Kiffin era has been getting off to a ... start. He's shaken up the coaching staff, losing Bilitnekoff and others, bringing in some Falcons assistants and others and hopefully removing that mothball and brimstone smell from the locker room.

Jerry McDonald also has a nice profile up on the Boy Wonder here.

As for the Giants, we are in that period where the lineup is basically set, pitchers and catchers are still a week away and everyone is letting their imaginations run wild. I've seen everything from division winner to 100 losses and it's clear people have no idea what the Giants are going to be this year.

It may be better than knowing your team is doomed to failure. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. But it makes this waiting period even worse. What the Hell is going to happen? Will Bonds collapse in a puddle of suspicious substances, will Barry Zito be average or slightly above? And what of Lincecum? Tell me, what of Lincecum!

Oh well. This is the part in the game where you're waiting to hit the sim button, to see exactly how well all those 80 and 90 players you've assembled will fit together. Hopefully I wont be cursing the screen once this starts up.

UPDATE: THT has a study on whether Bonds will get to Aaron this season. Their answer: Yes.
