Are you kidding me?  This dude picks 3 of his own starting pitchers for the NL squad over many more qualified pitchers.

Who he selected:
Lincecum: 6-7 3.14 ERA(16th) 1.19 WHIP(18th) .230 AVG(9th) 9.66 K/9(2nd)
Cain: 7-4 3.02 ERA(12th) 1.09 WHIP(9th) .223 AVG(7th) 7.54 K/9(24th)
Vogelsong: 6-1 2.13 ERA 1.15 WHIP .222 AVG 7.26 K/9**Only made 13 starts

Who he snubbed:
Hanson: 10-4 2.52 ERA(4th) 1.04 WHIP(3rd) .192 AVG(1st) 9.62(3rd)
Karstens 6-4 2.65 ERA(5th) 1.08 WHIP(7th) .239(17th)
Zimmerman, Kuroda, Lohse, and Wandy all should have beaten out these guys.

How in the crap can you cherry pick 3 of your own guys when their stats are plainly worse, by a lot in some cases, than others.  I mean, I can understand putting one of your guys on there but almost half of the pitching staff are giants now.  What a massive homer.

Rant over.

Hanson has to be the snub of the year just like CarGo last year.  He showed how angry he was last night and went out and dominated the Rockies.  Bochy is a retard.

Just another case of winner gets homefield in the WS  affecting a manager's decision.

It seems like he'd want to field the best team rather than only his players if this were the case...

I agree with bsking, it seemed like Bochy was helping out his own guys instead of going for homefield advantage in the WS which I think is idiotic on his part and he should be questioned about it.
