The Five Most Hated Giants

1. Bruce Bochy

Bochy has frustrated fans all season long with his in-game decisions. He also irritates fans with his starting lineups. Bochy is known as a manager who likes to pay veterans, and this is probably why youngsters like Nate Schierholtz did not get a lot of playing time in the beginning of the season. Bochy seems to always not know when to pull a starter or a reliever, and that has cost his team many games this year already. The Giants are winning in spite of Bochy's poor managing skills.

2. Barry Zito

Zito is 4-8 with a 4.82 ERA this season and continues to struggle as a Giant. The women in the Bay Area do not care that he sucks as a pitcher because they consider him to be a hottie and a very handsome man. Zito is frustrating to watch because he always seems to be very hittable and gives up a lot of homers. When he loses, he doesn't seem to get too angry and the media doesn't bash him too much since he is so media-friendly and never turns down an interview.

3. Brian Wilson

Wilson is not one of the elite closers in the majors, and he blows a lot of winnable games. He has cost his team victories this season by giving up home runs and throwing wild pitches at the most inopportune times. His reality show "Life of Brian" has not endeared himself to Giants fans at all. Fans don't care about you playing video games and air hockey if you blow leads and saves.

4. Bob Howry

Howry was a terrible pick-up by GM Brian Sabean. Howry did not pitch too well with the Cubs before signing with the Giants during the offseason. Howry is not a strikeout pitcher and always seems to walk batters at the worst time. He either has control issues or is afraid to throw strikes and is  respecting the hitters too much. I don't trust him in the late innnings at all. Howry recently gave up a homer to Colby Rasmus earlier this week in extra innings that cost the Giants a game in St. Louis.

5. Fred Lewis

Lewis makes me miss Barry Bonds in left field. Lewis is a strikeout machine and will strike out if he has two strikes on him usually. He is a terrible left fielder and has cost his team many games with stupid plays in the outfield. This guy should be traded because he needs a change of scenary. He is still young and can probably be a good fourth outfielder for a team.
