Bumgarner to debut for Augusta tonight

by i wish we were good on Apr 5, 2008 4:08 PM PDT

Madison Bumgarner, the Giants 1st pick in last years draft(10th overall selection) will make his pro debut tonight, starting for the Augusta Greenjackets against the Grasshoppers of Greensboro. Nice opportunity to listen to Bumgarner's first start as well as youngsters Nick Noonan, and Charlie Culberson. Still no word on whether or not Angel Villalona will start or even play/dress tonight.

The game didn't get rick-rolled, did it?

by wilriv21 on Apr 5, 2008 5:28 PM PDT reply actions

still in a rain delay

by Cainer on Apr 5, 2008 5:31 PM PDT up reply actions

thanks

Dollar beers, dollar dogs and some "Kung Fu". Did they say when the game may start?

by wilriv21 on Apr 5, 2008 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions

no

they haven't said when it will get started

by Cainer on Apr 5, 2008 5:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Laughter

That's what I could hear from the crowd after the PA guy announced the Giants/Brewers final score.

by Cainer on Apr 5, 2008 5:35 PM PDT reply actions

Well

They're playing " I can see clearly now" so maybe the rain has stopped.

I think we have crossed the line from fan to fanatic when on a Saturday evening we are listening on the internet to a Low A game waiting for the kids to arrive.

Why don't they ever have $1 beers at the yard? You know each time the Giants score for the next 10 minutes beers are a buck. How much could they lose?

by wilriv21 on Apr 5, 2008 5:48 PM PDT reply actions

42000 capacity crowd is a lot more free beer than a 10000 capacity crowd. Even if the Giants could draw around 10000 for some games, it's still the max capacity that would kill the idea.

Free, $1 beer, whatever.

You didn't read the fine print

It's after the Giants score. They'll barely ever have to do it.

by Cainer on Apr 5, 2008 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions

Really? When does Alderson start for San Jose?

by wilriv21 on Apr 5, 2008 7:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Alderson is the starter tommorow

by i wish we were good on Apr 5, 2008 7:19 PM PDT up reply actions

Please excuse me

Please excuse me for passing some bum scoop as I was under the impression that Tim Alderson was starting Saturday. The Fresno game has been postponed. I doubled fact checked that.
