Just A Little Posting For The Dodgers' Locker Room Board

Said Brian Sabean about the Giants:

Still, when the architect of the San Francisco roster tries to pinpoint the attributes that truly define this team, he relies on a brand of baseball plain talk that resonates with the algorithmically impaired. This is the unabashedly old-school way that Brian Sabean rolls.

"The two most obvious things are their will to win, and they hate to lose," Sabean said by phone Thursday, after the Giants ended a three-game losing streak with a 7-1 win over the Washington Nationals. "That's a powerful combination. They really have a passion for the game and they love to play as a team. It's not a team of stars. You have to earn your way."

I wonder if we hate to lose yet. Or if we hate enough?
