Reigning World Series Champs falling out of Playoff Picture- Cut Dead Weight

ESPN is reporting that the Giants who are at a season high six games out in the NL West have designated both Aaron Rowand and Miguel Tejada for assignment effectively ending their time with the Giants.

"We're at a spot in the season where we have to do some damage control with the roster. A couple things played into it. In both cases, there was diminished playing time, diminished roles," Sabean said. "If this stays ugly, we've got to turn the page, look at some other people and get ready for next year, and try to win and develop at the same time."

Sabean worked to try to move both players to other clubs within the day so they could "continue their careers." The Giants have 10 days to trade or release each player, but would have had to trade them to a contender before Thursday for them to be eligible for another team's postseason roster. Still, San Francisco is absorbing more than $15 million in the combined contracts of Rowand and Tejada.

Barry Bonds' generous gift to Bryan Stow

Bonds is going to pay for Stow's children to go to college, when they are of age of course. Its reported that Bonds made the offer back in April while meeting with the Stow's in the hospital. It would have likely remained a secret except that the Stow family attorney, Thomas Girardi let the cat out of the bag.

I can't think of a nicer thing Bonds could have done. The man spent most of his career as a selfish, self absorbed jerk- but you can't hate on this move.
