"人"心有感(4/13)
愛慕虛榮 欺善怕惡 苟且偷生 心懷鬼胎 不求甚解
人所謂的缺點 人所謂的借鏡 人所謂的"過"
在紛亂無邊的世界中心 虛偽的表皮到底在背後隱藏了多少陰暗?
看似光明磊落的個性 殷勤謙卑的姿態
俗說的一句話 人可知面不知心
難道第一印象塑造的個體性能夠延續到人性各層級的面容嗎?
難道為顯現的真實情感可以為花言巧語的華麗 似川急逝嗎?
感慨我的天真和無知
後悔我的易騙和主觀
人生的路途總會有些花朵 難免摘的時候會有刺
何不親近落葉和綠草 而慕視花瓣?
芥蒂可能會逐漸增長 但總比傻傻當作笨蛋指使來得實在

Wang!!!(節錄)
He has never thrown a no-hitter, like Clay Buchholz, or had a shutdown performance in the World Series, like Josh Beckett. He never captured the imaginations of Yankees fans as an electrifying rookie, like Phil Hughes, and he is not as accomplished as Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte or Curt Schilling.
But there is no pitcher in the majors with as many victories as Chien-Ming Wang since the start of the 2006 season. He is efficient and dependable for the Yankees, a quiet, stoic and steady presence in their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox. When the teams met at Fenway Park on Friday for the first time this season, it was Wang who took over.
----
“He’s become the ace of our staff, there’s no doubt about it, and tonight he pitched as well as anybody could pitch,” Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. “He seems to be refining his repertoire on how to attack hitters, and that’s a great thing. Right now, he’s at the top of his game.”
----
“I feel especially good about this one because I threw it in Boston, and before, I didn’t do very well in Boston,” Wang said through an interpreter. “So I think this is my best game so far.”
----
“They just didn’t look comfortable,” Giambi said. “Boston is almost an exact mirror team as us — guys who take a lot of pitches, take their walks and do a lot of damage by hitting home runs. He threw a lot of strikes and caught them off-guard.”
----
Wang used 93 pitches to silence the Red Sox, who had seen 212 pitches Thursday against Detroit. He faced two batters over the minimum, and for eight and two-thirds innings, Boston’s only hit was a fifth-inning homer by J. D. Drew that just eluded Bobby Abreu at the wall in right-center field.
Coco Crisp added a bunt single with two outs in the ninth, but Dustin Pedroia lined to left to end the game. It was the fourth career complete game for Wang, who is 3-0 so far and 41-13 over the past three seasons. He called this start the best of his career.

"人"心有感(4/12)
"It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man---that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust,with everything priced above it's proper value. I think you will tire first, all the same."

Correia pitches gem, Lewis doubles and triples in Giants' 5-1 win over Cards
Kevin Correia's latest start became all the more impressive considering his current state of health.
Down 12 pounds to 188 because of a stomach bug last week, Correia didn't let it show that he's still a little weak and trying to regain his strength.
He carried a shutout into the eighth inning in one of his best starts yet, leading the San Francisco Giants past the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Thursday night for their third straight victory.
"My body is still taxed," Correia said. "My velocity was a little down. But I got a lot of quick outs. ... I got behind some guys but I made some good pitches and made the right pitches at the right times to make it a pretty good outing."
Correia (1-1) allowed five hits in 7 2-3 innings, struck out four, walked two and also singled for the Giants, who are on a little roll after losing six of their first seven games.
Correia allowed only four baserunners past first, including on Izturis' third-inning double that he tried to stretch into a triple only to be thrown out. The pitcher's seventh-inning single was his first hit since April 30, 2007, and the seventh of his career.
Gaints戰績:4-6

"人" 心有感(4/6)
欣然 拘泥 謊言 慚愧 憂急 憤慨 無奈
昨天的心情寫照反應我的個性
人可以為些微的變動牽連神經下意識的活化 造成人類偏差行為出現
解釋這些偏差行為須歸咎於其他個體個別活動
而此行為伴隨的承諾使自己夾在兩難的處境中
人為自私 時而忘我 時而放縱
卻引起突發狀況破壞生活秩序
我的情形就是被偏差行為拖累而挾持我的一般作息
為何會有激烈而搖擺的精神情緒散亂
用言詞形容的意涵無法確切解釋真正的心境
別人無法體會的感受
經驗的人在過去之後只能回味
但要我重拾那種滋味 抱歉我敬謝不敏
"人被觀念拘束綑綁得牢固"
這是最佳結尾吧...(未完 開始旅程)

"人" 心有感(4/4)
快樂是什麼? 渴望是什麼?
是她回首一視 淡淡釋出的一抹微笑
還是望著無邊天際的夕陽 將陰濕的雨雲放逐至耀眼星空的背後?
人的慾望總是飄浮不定
他心裏的惆悵使圍繞的親人陷入同理心的漩渦
難道他貪求同情的念頭可以減散愉悅的興致嗎
她自我膨脹的俗事掌握著話題
難道只有唯我獨尊的心態可以領導群眾嗎
妄想 幻覺 主觀意念
人被自己生活的陰霾 貪婪的個性繫住
僅有利益與實質的獲得才是快樂嗎? 不 這是"欲"
快樂是造物賜與人類的簡單遐想
微小的事物才是咀嚼品味趣味的泉源
今天體驗了那各時候 當年也是這樣
兒時揮灑汗水時 大學在那寧靜的教室時 中午的小雨煥發出艷陽時
那是快樂 那是樸實而無瑕的歡欣
今天晚上在那公車上 我體驗了快樂
"人很容易滿足" 我的思慮奔馳 我的心底充實
迎接未來的考驗吧! 人樂觀的存在著 就是蒐集快樂時光 延續對生命的期待...(未完)

コブクロ <桜>
詞、曲:コブクロ
歌詞:
名もない花には名前をつけましょう この世に一つしかない
冬の寒さに打ちひしがれないように 誰かの声でまた起き上がれるように
土の中で眠る命のかたまり アスファルト押しのけて
会うたびにいつも 会えない時の寂しさ
分けあう二人 太陽と月のようで
実のならない花も 蕾のまま散る花も
あなたと誰かのこれからを 春の風を浴びて見てる
桜の花びら散るたびに 届かぬ思いがまた一つ
涙と笑顔に消されてく そしてまた大人になった
追いかけるだけの悲しみは 強く清らかな悲しみは
いつまでも変わることの無い
無くさないで 君の中に 咲く Love
街の中見かけた君は寂しげに 人ごみに紛れてた
あの頃の 澄んだ瞳の奥の輝き 時の速さに汚されてしまわぬように
何も話さないで 言葉にならないはずさ
流した涙は雨となり 僕の心の傷いやす
人はみな 心の岸辺に 手放したくない花がある
それはたくましい花じゃなく 儚く揺れる 一輪花
花びらの数と同じだけ 生きていく強さを感じる
嵐 吹く 風に打たれても やまない雨は無いはずと
桜の花びら散るたびに 届かぬ思いがまた一つ
涙と笑顔に消されてく そしてまた大人になった
追いかけるだけの悲しみは 強く清らかな悲しみは
いつまでも変わることの無い
君の中に 僕の中に 咲く Love
名も無い花には名前をつけましょう この世に一つしかない
冬の寒さに打ちひしがれないように 誰かの声でまた起き上がれるように

"人" 心有感(4/3)
人真是個奇怪的動物 以前這樣想
對於某些人總是抱持著自己一貫的偏見 堅持自己的刻版印象
但當處在和那另一個個體間機遇中
表面功夫和偽善討好的言詞卻不絕於耳
腦中思考的並非單純的溝通交流 各取所需
而是發自內心的鄙夷無視 自負傲慢
即便口中吐出的東西華麗悅心 其實較垃圾還不如
在層層皮膚覆蓋的臉皮上 到底有多少陰暗邪妄思想藏在裏頭 沒有他人能夠猜測
當人們互相開始懷疑 則原本信為基礎的社會群眾 義為理念的環境
將在猜忌和疑竇中化為煙霧 把自己之外的人們包圍 猶如隔離室般阻絕任何接觸
挑撥 謊言 事實 誠致 被自己的主觀想像歸類操作失去判斷
到底什麼是真實? 心理能在世論頻繁的社會中保持純淨嗎?
到最後 可以肯定連本身的觀感在團體內都是正常的嗎?
他的思考又怎樣? 他又是怎樣看我?

4/2 Yankees' First Victory in a Season of Lasts
“You get seven from Wang and one from Joba and Mariano,” catcher Jorge Posada said. “That’s what we need to do all year.”
Wang allowed six hits and two runs in seven innings, and Chamberlain struck out his final two hitters in the eighth, twirling and punching the sky after pumping a 97-mile-an-hour fastball past Frank Thomas.
---
Wang, who was blitzed twice by Cleveland in the playoff loss last fall, was shaky in spring training as he developed his slider and changeup. But he was sharp on Tuesday, using the slider for his two strikeouts and his usual sinker for most of the rest.
Girardi kept him in with two out and a runner on third in the seventh, and Wang need just one pitch to get an inning-ending grounder from David Eckstein.
“You want to look a guy in the eyes and see what he has,” Girardi said. “And I liked what I saw.”(NY Times)

The idea was to have Hong-Chih Kuo, in his first regular-season appearance since his fourth elbow operation, warm up fast and pitch until an anticipated rain delay. Torre said he personally notified Giants manager Bruce Bochy of the reason for the late change and Bochy thought it was such a good idea, he did the same thing with his scheduled starter, Tim Lincecum, tabbing Merkin Valdez instead.

Giants一週要聞(ESPN)

4/1 Torre wins Dodgers debut as L.A. roughs up Zito
Zito allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings.
Zito:"The first inning was obviously not what we wanted," he said. "Furcal's a free-swinger and he hit a pitch that was at his shoulder, basically, and the ball stayed fair somehow. The pitch to Kent was a fastball away that just came over the middle, and I think that was the difference right there. I wanted to come out here and start off the season on a good note, but that first inning got out of hand. If I could take a couple of pitches back, it's a one-run game."(5-0 L)
Notes: SP Zito 5.0IP 8H 4ER 7.20ERA ,H Rowand 2-3 .667
4/2 Young's infield hit with two outs in ninth scores Furcal, lifts Dodgers
Mariano Duncan, coaching third because Larry Bowa had been ejected earlier in the game, waved Furcal around as San Francisco second baseman Ray Durham made a sliding stop of Young's sharp grounder between first and second before throwing late to first base. Furcal never stopped, sliding around the tag of catcher Bengie Molina to beat first baseman Rich Aurilia's throw home.
"I knew [Furcal] was going to go," Aurilia said. "As soon as I saw Ray bobble the ball, I said, 'I have to get off the bag and get to the ball.' Ray made a great stop, just not good enough right now."(3-2 L)

4/3 Lincecum debuts, scores go-ahead run in Giants' win
Lincecum (1-0) threw 84 pitches over four innings, allowing a run and four hits with four walks and four strikeouts. The right-hander got his biggest out when Russell Martin took a called third strike with the bases loaded to end the seventh.
"I was just throwing a slider right there on 2-2. I really wasn't trying to spot anything up. I was hoping to get him to chase. But it worked out for the better."
The relief outing was the first in the majors for Lincecum, who made 24 starts last season as a rookie.
"It was a little different, of course, but at the same time I've got to listen to what they say," Lincecum said. "Whether it's out of the bullpen or starting, I've got to approach it the same way."(2-1 W)

Niners QB Smith ready to move past troubles with injuries, coaches
Associated Press
----
"It was such a crazy situation last year," Smith said. "We're both excited to be moving on from it."
Smith claims to be encouraged by the 49ers' latest coaching overhaul, with coordinator Mike Martz arriving and Nolan staying while old coordinator Jim Hostler, quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti and other offensive assistants departed.
Smith and Nolan were on much shakier ground late last year, when the struggling quarterback publicly questioned the 49ers' handling of the shoulder injury that eventually ended his season. Smith also claimed Nolan undermined him in comments to his teammates, and Smith rarely appeared at the 49ers' training complex after his surgery.
"He and I are both looking forward to putting last year behind us," Smith said. "I've talked to him several times and we're both excited about it. I know I definitely am, because I know that's not a reflection on either of us. We're both better than that, and I think we're looking forward to honestly erasing that and proving to people, not only in this building but everywhere, that we're definitely going to move on."
----
"There's definitely not a lot of the clicking and things that were going on before," said Smith, whose strained forearm is no longer a problem. "The main thing is to work out that tightness and stiffness in some areas. ... I still have another month or so to get it where it needs to be, so I'm trying to take my time with it."
The 49ers hope Smith is in shape to participate in their post-draft minicamp in early May, when he'll have to begin the process of winning a starting job for the first time since his rookie season. Shaun Hill, the career third-stringer who won two starts as a late-season replacement for Trent Dilfer, will get a chance to compete with Smith, according to Martz and Nolan.
----
About Martz:
"You just look at the track record (Martz) has had with all his quarterbacks and the way they've played, the numbers they've put up and where they've taken their games," Smith said. "I feel like that's a level I haven't even been at in the NFL, in terms of reaching my potential. ... It's definitely different, but I guess that's the one thing I've grown accustomed to is the change. That's kind of normal in the NFL, and you get used to it real quick."

Lincecum strikes out 9 in 5 no-hit innings and San Francisco Giants beat Oakland A's 3-0
Friday, March 28, 2008
Tim Lincecum provided a bright spot in a rather dismal spring for the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Lincecum struck out nine in five no-hit innings and the Giants beat the cross-bay Oakland Athletics 3-0.
"The first inning I was big," Lincecum said. "My first inning was like seven or eight pitches and I got on a roll. And then I found my rhythm from there."
Lincecum, scheduled to pitch the Giants' third game of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, was masterful in a steady drizzle, keeping Oakland off balance.
"The kid threw well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was a nice tune up for him. It was a big win for us. The way we played tonight was what we were looking for.
"We pitched well. We executed and we played crisp baseball. That's what it's going to take for us to win games."
Lincecum's performance was a needed lift for the Giants, who snapped a five-game losing streak that included a loss to Fresno, their Triple-A affiliate on Wednesday.
In his last three outings, Lincecum has struck out 20 batters.
And Lincecum had no hard feelings about being removed from a no-hitter.
"I wasn't really thinking about that," said Lincecum. "I got done what I wanted."
The game was the first for the A's since they returned from Japan, where they split their first two regular season games against the Red Sox.
"Lincecum threw the ball real well," A's manager Bob Geren said. "He had a very, very good fastball. Also, it wasn't very good conditions to hit, but still, he threw very well."
During the early innings of the game, a steady drizzle fell drenching the players and field.
"It was cool, it was damp. There's a guy out there throwing 96, touching 98, that could as easily have happened in July," Geren said.

Zito determined to build on strong finish
Ace's last nine starts in rough 2007 give Giants hope in '08
For much of the spring, Zito looked like a dubious choice as the Giants' No. 1 starter. He allowed seven runs or more in three of his first four Cactus League assignments, recording a 14.92 ERA. But his 5 2/3 shutout innings on March 21 against the White Sox muted the skeptics.
Zito has endured plenty of cynicism since becoming a Giant. The seven-year, $126 million contract he received before the 2007 season, which at the time made him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history, immediately prompted observers to declare that he wasn't worth it. The 8-11 record and 5.13 ERA he built in his first 25 games didn't help.
But Zito recovered in his final nine starts, posting a 3-2 mark with a 3.10 ERA and a .200 opponents' batting average. Although Zito's 11-13 record and 4.53 ERA overall were career worsts, his strong finish generated plenty of hope among the Giants for this year.
"Last year, during the course of the season, he was a different pitcher," manager Bruce Bochy said. "What he should feel good about was how he finished the season. That's what he needs to build on to carry into this season. I don't look at the middle of the season when he had some rough starts, and he shouldn't either. That's behind him."
----
Zito gave the doubters fresh material this spring when he altered his pitching motion for the second year in a row. Last year, he tinkered with his stride in February before returning to the delivery that helped him amass a 102-63 record with Oakland from 2000-06. This time, Zito waited until his third Cactus League start before pulling his surprise. He no longer brought his hands over his head from the windup, explaining that this change synchronized his hands with his kicking leg more properly.
"I think my stuff has later movement," Zito said. "You always want your stuff to move as late as possible so the hitter can't gauge it and basically determine where the ball's going to be when he swings at it."
Zito has struggled in his previous Opening Day starts, losing all three of them while compiling a 9.49 ERA. This includes last year's opener against the Padres, who defeated the Giants, 7-0, as Zito surrendered three runs (two earned) on four hits in five innings.
This kind of history never entered Bochy's mind as he named Zito to pitch Game 1 after the first workout for pitchers and catchers.
"When Barry hits the mound, we expect to win and we expect him to give us a chance to win," Bochy said. "That's not ever going to change for us."

Friday, March 28, 2008
Tim Lincecum provided a bright spot in a rather dismal spring for the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Lincecum struck out nine in five no-hit innings and the Giants beat the cross-bay Oakland Athletics 3-0.
"The first inning I was big," Lincecum said. "My first inning was like seven or eight pitches and I got on a roll. And then I found my rhythm from there."
Lincecum, scheduled to pitch the Giants' third game of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, was masterful in a steady drizzle, keeping Oakland off balance.
"The kid threw well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was a nice tune up for him. It was a big win for us. The way we played tonight was what we were looking for.
"We pitched well. We executed and we played crisp baseball. That's what it's going to take for us to win games."
Lincecum's performance was a needed lift for the Giants, who snapped a five-game losing streak that included a loss to Fresno, their Triple-A affiliate on Wednesday.
In his last three outings, Lincecum has struck out 20 batters.
And Lincecum had no hard feelings about being removed from a no-hitter.
"I wasn't really thinking about that," said Lincecum. "I got done what I wanted."
The game was the first for the A's since they returned from Japan, where they split their first two regular season games against the Red Sox.
"Lincecum threw the ball real well," A's manager Bob Geren said. "He had a very, very good fastball. Also, it wasn't very good conditions to hit, but still, he threw very well."
During the early innings of the game, a steady drizzle fell drenching the players and field.
"It was cool, it was damp. There's a guy out there throwing 96, touching 98, that could as easily have happened in July," Geren said.

Wang's 新聞(節錄自MLB.com)

Wang draws prestigious start
Right-hander final Opening Day starter in Yankee Stadium
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Chien-Ming Wang missed his chance to pitch last year's season opener, but this assignment may prove even more prestigious.
The right-hander will be issued the ball for the final Opening Day in Yankee Stadium's 85-year history, drawing the March 31 start against the Blue Jays.
-----
Ranking second in the American League with a 2.75 home ERA and tying for third with 10 home wins, Wang is a logical choice to get the start in New York. His 21 wins in 33 Yankee Stadium starts over the last two seasons are the most home victories by any big league pitcher since the beginning of 2006.
He may have some added motivation as well. Wang missed last year's season opener after straining a hamstring during conditioning drills in late March -- he still remembers watching from his Tampa apartment as Carl Pavano drew the start for the Yankees.
----
"The two losses make me want to do even better this year," Wang said. "I want to make the coaches trust me even more in the future."
Girardi said that Wang's balanced and relaxed personality lends itself well to an assignment like Opening Day, and that he was glad Wang needed one month to get over his October disappointment.
"That tells me that he really cares and he wants to get better," Girardi said. "That actually excites me. I think he will continue to improve."
Wang's spring ends on down note
Girardi feels hitters were too comfortable with right-hander
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
With his last five innings of the spring in the books, Wang was given an exhibition loss in New York's 4-0 defeat to the Phillies at Bright House Field, but he also has something important to carry into the regular season.
The Phillies hit Wang around in the second inning for four runs on four hits, a frame that could have had much less damage if both Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez were able to turn double-play balls. Regardless, Yankees manager Joe Girardi thought Philadelphia batters were digging in a bit too much as the inning went on, and gave Wang his read upon returning to the dugout.
"Joe told me they were too comfortable," Wang said. "I didn't pitch inside enough."
----
"I thought he had a decent spring," Girardi said. "I thought today was his best day, which is good. [The pitchers are] developing arm strength and they're developing stamina during Spring Training."
And, once in a while, they get to hit. The Yankees played with National League rules for the first time on Wednesday, meaning that Wang actually had to grab a bat and dig in against Phillies starter Brett Myers for a couple of plate appearances.
To Wang's credit, the skills he last tested in a June Interleague series at San Francisco hadn't betrayed him; like Billy Crystal, at least he made contact. Wang popped a bunt over the mound for the final out of the second inning and was thrown out on another bunt in the fifth inning.
The infielders needn't have worried, even in the situation with two outs. With Opening Day looming near and any injury disastrous, the Yankees' instructions to Wang were extremely clear. "No swings," Wang said. "Just bunts."

Tuesday's With Morrie

About the Book
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.
After four years on the New York Times bestseller list, Tuesdays with Morrie is at last available in paperback.

讀後感:
Tuesdays With Morrie這本書的中文翻譯是<最後十四堂星期二的課> 其內容在於敘述一位罹患致命疾病的患者(書中的教授)與其相隔十幾年再度重逢的學生(作者) 再教授勝於十四週生命裏 每個禮拜每個禮拜師生間探討人生的定義和對於社會價值觀的評析與啟發 雖然教授在人生的末路上 但仍然昂然艇胸的面對即將面臨的命運與生離死別 學生在每週二的談論間 一點一滴的獲得一些對於自己的生命價值到底缺乏什麼?到底追求功名成就和更卓越的功名是不是比親人之間的愛和交流重要?
人們通常視為理所當然和細小事節在死的前夕化為啟迪和知識的泉源 談吐間教授透露的經驗和體驗死亡對身心的創傷但無畏精神 深深的印入作者腦海中 相信若有看過這本書的朋友們應該也會有相同的看法

當然我們不可能不追求物質上的東西 也有可能在精神方面與生活上都是滿足的 然而從這本書還是可以給予我們一些建議 對做人處世也好 對未來方向也好 人一定會有生死 人一定會碰上病痛與傷創 如何秉持一個勇敢無懼的心理應對命運 燃燒活著的每一刻每一秒 相信都直得我們閱讀和學習
這本書我打算之後再一次深讀 因為每堂課給我的體會都不一樣 當你能從一本書感覺到有受益良多 感觸頗深的情境時 或許該叢書中在吸取一些什麼 也說不定^^

Giants 新聞

Giants' lackluster spring sparking trade rumors
Increasingly displeased by their product on the field, Giants officials have become more aggressive on the trade front and recently asked the Los Angeles Angels about first baseman Casey Kotchman and catcher Jeff Mathis, according to sources.
It's possible that the two clubs discussed sending Bengie Molina back to Anaheim; Angels officials are said to miss the former Gold Glove catcher's leadership and game-calling skills.
But the two sides were not close to a deal, since the Angels need to boost their injured rotation. The Giants are not in a position to trade pitching because of their own injury woes.
"No match," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said. "Not now."
The Giants are looking for ways to improve a roster that has failed to meet limited expectations while slogging through the Cactus League schedule. They managed four hits -- all singles -- in an 8-1 loss to the Angels at Tempe on Thursday. At 6-17-2, they have the worst exhibition record in the major leagues.
Their .253 batting average is the lowest in the Cactus League and their 7.11 ERA is the worst in the majors. They haven't been so hot catching the ball, either. Lacking Omar Vizquel's stabilizing play at shortstop, their infield continues to look a fright. Third baseman Eugenio Velez committed an error on a routine grounder hit right to him when he inexplicably sidestepped it and tried to field on a backhand.
"We need to turn it up here," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We're not even playing decent ball. We've talked about it. We've addressed it numerous times. ... You see it. The guys are taking a ton of ground balls every day.
"We've got to keep working here. Believe me, we're aware we're not winning games. We'd like to win some in the next week here. But the last thing we need to do is start hanging heads."
Catcher needed?
The Giants are looking for catching help because their two candidates, Eliezer Alfonzo and Guillermo Rodriguez, have played their way off the roster.
Alfonzo, who was the most valuable player of the prestigious Venezuelan Winter League, is having the roughest spring of all. He is 3-for-40 (.075) with no walks and seven strikeouts.
Just as significantly, neither catcher has excelled behind the plate. Each allowed a passed ball Thursday.
It's another reason the Giants could decide to acquire Brandon Inge, since the Tigers' third baseman has experience at catcher.
"To be honest, yeah, we need somebody to step up and take that job," said Bochy, who challenged each catcher in one-on-one meetings. "I don't see anybody doing it."
Lowry taking it slow
Left-hander Noah Lowry is throwing a baseball again. Two weeks after surgery to correct a condition in his forearm, Lowry played catch from 50 feet for about five minutes. The session appeared to go as planned.
Because no standard rehab schedule exists for a pitcher rehabbing from Lowry's procedure, the Giants plan to reevaluate him each day before moving to the next step. Lowry could return as soon as late April.
Durham, Aurilia dinged
Second baseman Ray Durham was a late scratch with a sore hamstring and is day-to-day. Infielder Rich Aurilia started at designated hitter and hasn't thrown in a few days because of elbow tendinitis. Bochy said Aurilia might play the field today.

49ers 新聞
If you thought the quarterback controversy in San Francisco was entertaining last year, it's only going to get better. Coach Mike Nolan has made it clear that Shaun Hill, who seems to have taken on legendary status after a few decent starts late last season, will compete with former No. 1 draft pick Alex Smith for the starting quarterback job.
Hill, who wasn't even drafted and spent most of his career in NFL Europe and on the Minnesota bench, has been given a new contract. Maybe this is Nolan's way of trying to challenge Smith to step up. But Nolan and Smith sniped at each other last season about the severity of the quarterback's shoulder injury.
Maybe Smith can get back into good graces and succeed under new offensive coordinator Mike Martz. But, keep in mind, Martz had a lot of success with another former NFL Europe quarterback (Kurt Warner) when he was in St. Louis.

Wang will start Opening Day for Yanks
Right-hander coming off back-to-back 19-win seasons
One year ago, Chien-Ming Wang got his hopes up to pitch on Opening Day before suffering both an injury and ultimate disappointment, forced to watch from a Tampa apartment as his team went north without him.
Barring a catastrophe in Wang's final start of Spring Training, he will finally get to find out what a season opener feels like. Yankees manager Joe Girardi confirmed Friday that Wang has been tabbed as the Opening Day starter, set to face the Blue Jays on March 31 in New York.
"He's earned it," Girardi said. "He's won 19 games the last couple of years and he's thrown the ball well the last couple of years. I'm comfortable starting him Opening Day."
The start will come on Wang's 28th birthday, one year after a strained right hamstring cost him most of April before he rebounded to tie a career high in wins for the second consecutive season, going 19-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 30 starts and establishing a career high with 104 strikeouts.
"I'm very happy," Wang said. "This is my first time on Opening Day. For me, it's big. I'm very excited.
"It shows that the coaches trust me. I still have a lot to learn."....
Wang hasn't had a whole lot of success this spring -- in four Grapefruit League starts, Wang is 2-1 with an 8.44 ERA in 10 2/3 innings.
But his track record speaks volumes: He has won more games than any other big league pitcher (38) over the last two years and leads the Majors with a .745 winning percentage in that time span, though he suffered two losses in the Yankees' first-round playoff exit against the Indians last October.
Wang has said that it took him a month to get over the playoff losses, in which he was roughed up for 12 runs and 14 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Pitching on three days' rest in the deciding Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium, Wang did not retire an Indians batter in the second inning.
"The two losses make me want to do even better this year," Wang said. "I want to make the coaches trust me even more in the future."
Girardi said that Wang's balanced and relaxed personality lends itself well to an assignment like Opening Day, and that he was glad Wang needed one month to get over his October disappointment.
"That tells me that he really cares and he wants to get better," Girardi said. "That actually excites me. I think he will continue to improve."
