Yo, C-Ya, Fonzie. It's Been Fun(k)

Edgardo Alfonzo is no longer with the Giants. I'm not crying. I've never been an Alfonzo fan, and I've never seen what the Giants saw in him in the first place nor why they paid him what they did. It seems there were just too many woulda coulda shoulda hopeful parallels with Jeff Kent. Those never happened. I'm more hopeful of Finley's help than I was with Fonzie's, although I expect nothing more of Finley.

Another thing not lost is that the Giants announcers are now without their one cutesy nickname in "Fonzie." I've always hated them using nicknames, a la the homer Braves announcers. So, long Edgardo, it's been fun and funk.
