Open gameday thread 3/11

by kenshin1 on Mar 11, 2008 1:34 PM PDT in News Comment 76 comments

The Gigantes are playing some team or another in a some spring training game.

For those who do not wish to watch the game, I will summarize. A Giants pitcher not named Cain or Lincecum surrendered 15 runs while walking 6.

Go Gamers!

Pitch count was kind of his Achilles Heel last year. He seemed to have an awful lot of 20-25 pitch first innings which got him in trouble and left almost no margin for error the rest of the game. Oh, and also, his run support was negative gajillion.

They lost a few outstanding guys from their system in the Haren trade and they're still stacked in the minors.

Oh and I just can't think of BJ Upton without thinking of a dream I had about him. No. Not that kind of dream. He was sitting at a long table with microphones and bottles of water, much like a press conference, except he was wearing a badge with his photo and the title "Ice Cream Specialist" on it.

I have no idea what an ice cream specialist is. Nor do I know why BJ Upton would be one.
