Kurtenbach: Does SF Giants manager Tony Vitello actually want to be here?

We’ve all been stuck at that table.

You’re out for a drink, trying to enjoy the night, but there’s that one guy. He’s staring into the middle distance, nursing a lukewarm beer, and talking about the one who got away.

He talks about the timing. He talks about the miscommunications. He talks about how, if just one thing had gone differently, the universe would be in alignment. Things would be different. Things would be better.

Usually, you just nod, wince, and hope he picks up the tab.
