I was sitting in the View Reserve last night, explaining some basic baseball rules to a nice guy with an accent of undetermined origin, when Chad Tracy came to the plate.  I explained to him that with a runner on third and one out, and a kind of dangerous hitter at the plate in Tracy, they might want to walk Tracy, and pitch to Cruz, Jr. who is feeble from the left side.  Righetti comes to the mound, and I tell the guy, I hope he is telling him to just walk him.  Instead of just throwing four wide ones, like they would do with a younger or less experienced pitcher on the mound, Righetti apparently tells him to be careful with Tracy.  I guess that means see if you can get him to swing at a bad pitch and make an out.  Tomko misses badly with the first two.  Why not just give him the IBB, I ask of nobody in particular and everyone in earshot.   The next pitch disgusted me to the point that I wanted to ask the scalper for a refund.  Way, Way Out.  

I am tired of Tomko's act and his awful body language out there.  I am ready for him to get a change of scenery.  The problem is, he has still been the Giants' best pitcher this year, and that sort of sums it up right there.
