Ex-Mates Like Uribe Make Fierce Opponents

With the birth of a new baseball season all of the tired old clichés that got worn out last year are born anew.

How tired?

How old?

How anew?

It depends on how much time is on one's hands.

Time flies when you're having fun, and Giants fans are having a splendid time to date in the young baseball season.

I always knew it was a mistake for San Francisco to trade that Juan Uribe dude, especially to Los Angeles. Every time that the Dodgers meet the Giants, Uribe makes that clear in no uncertain terms. That deal must have left quite a scar upon his psyche.
