Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/21
Wow, I love the '62 Mets ahead of us in the division. . .

But the question remains, are the '62 getting younger before we do?

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/21
Oh, I didn't know the West expanded to include the '62 Mets. It would be nice if Selig announced these things, because I've been telling everybody the Giants are coming in fifth in the West. Now I'm going to look like an idiot!

If Sabean has anything to do with Bochy playing these guys day in day out, it's only going to last until the end of August at which point all bets will be off.

If Sabean is keeping his hands off, you really have to turn on Bochy instead. Because he's the guy keeping the young guys on the bench.

Re: Jonathan Sanchez Update
As much as I like the kid believe he is a little headstrong when it comes to being a starting pitcher. He has always been a starter until SF converted him last season. He has a different temperment when he is a starter.

Re: Jonathan Sanchez Update
I think he got rushed a little and wasn't quite ready to face really advanced competition.  His walk rates were perfectly adequate, if never good, through double-A, and he was converted there.  His walk rate in triple-A is back to acceptable levels this year.

You can hardly blame the team for rushing him given his K rates, but I think it hurt his control a bit.

He does. I'm just saying the reading into this start that he's born to start is a little rash when more likely he's just doing well against inferior competition.

Which is good, because he should be doing that. It's about interpreting the game right.

Great game by Lincecum, can't always be perfect.

If this shitty offense could score more than 1 run off Jason fucking Marquis he might be in line for the W.

Do we have a cool closer nickname for Hennessey yet?

I know he's not in for a save, but I haven't been around for his last few outings and I don't know what might have come with his success.

It started with bighead Bochy's fucking veteran lineup.  Then Timmy battled with a beautiful game.  Just to watch that french asshole take it away with one swing.
