Okay, see, now that's stupid.

R.A on MLB Network in a couple minutes..

Leiter seems disgusted that LaRussa has yet to tell Dickey when he'll be coming into the game. Said something like "You're dominating the league, and have no idea when you're coming into the game."

Dickey also didn't mince words. Said he thought the stats would speak for themselves, and that he's disappointed.

This is a real shame, since Dickey NOT being picked is overshadowing pretty much everything else. What a disgrace LaRussa and Posey are.

Just now from Gammons:

"I was told that the Giants really frowned on it. They did not want Buster Posey catching Dickey."

So, the Giants fans stuffed the ballot box for undeserving players, who are starting (Sandoval and Posey). One of those undeserving players told LaRussa he was uncomfortable catching RA, and then the Giants got involved and sealed it - in turn making their pitcher (Cain) the starter.

So ridiculous.

More from MLB Network: "RA Dickey, the numbers look like he should be starting this game."

Focused their last half hour on RA.

I was already infuriated and pretty soured on the Giants since the ballot stuffing, Now i am beyond upset.......i will probably despise them forever now. What a colossal joke.

Hey, at least we're not alone.

Screw the Giants.

I just covered that on my blog. I now despise the Giants:

Despise is a bit much. I despise and loathe with every fiber of my being the Phillies, their fans, and that city, to the point I will root against anything remotely Philly.

SF is ... they ballot stuffed their way to undeserved AS starters, and whined their way into Cain starting. That's mildly irritating, but whatever. Would be cool to have Parnell drill Fat Slob Panda with a pitch, though, next time they play. Won't happen, but it'd be a nice message.

Ehh...hitting Panda anywhere near the midsection wouldn't even hurt. And it's not his fault the fans of his team are fools.

It's Posey I despise the most for being a little baby about this thing, Sandoval just for being a fat slob, their fans for stuffing the ballot box, and Giants officials for preventing R.A. from starting. I think they're deserving of being despised.

So the Giants don't want Buster Posey to block the plate and now they don't want him to catch a knuck? Can he even be called a catcher anymore?

When did our country become a bunch of Marys? Poor little Buster. Aww.

Okay, I'm a bit more annoyed now that I have to be subjected to this Cain interview.
