PrintSan Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants, Apr 7, 2008 1:35 PM PDT
Although the decision to make Barry Zito the opening day starter was silliness upon silliness, at least there's no chance the starting pitcher for the home opener won't get booed off the mound in the third inning.

Opening Day!!!!!!!
Now it counts. Let's go Cainer. Some good news is that the Padres had Peavy and Young pitch against the bums so they will not pitch this series while Los Gigantes will pitch the likes of The Big 3 - Cain, Lincecum and Sanchez.
Dude!
EEEEEE! for archives and articles, Almost EEEEEE! for current stuff (with "current" really meaning "most recent," which a lot of the time means "way long ago."
Prediction:
Due to defensive misplays, the Giants somehow manage to score 2 runs. This series.
Neither occurence happens this afternoon.
Derin McMains had five fingers, but he only used three.
Maybe
This is when the real season, the real opener, and the real lineup starts?
Eugeniooooooo!!!!
The annoying Runing Tally Nobody Really Cares About
Thru six games:
2008 Giants - 12 runs
1963 Colt .45s - 18 runs
(The 1963 Colt .45s scored the least runs in a 162 game season in the NL, 464)
"Candlestick made me a man." - Will Clark
Giants currently on pace for...
324 runs
54 home runs
27 wins
Over or under?
2008: My previous assessment may have been overly optimistic.

Maddux
Owns us and always has. So, I'm not liking our chances in this game.
Career 2.90 ERA against the G's in 326-some innings pitched. I think I heard a statistic that he hasn't lost to the Giants in 5 years? Not sure where I heard that.
http://www.baycityball.com
Look at that small sample size. It's only, like 50 starts or something.
"Candlestick made me a man." - Will Clark
what's the over/under on Maddux's pitch count for today's complete game shutout? 83?
Bonds stands alone.

Will we get the #1 line-up today?
Bochy should play his idea of the base line-up for the home opener.
Like my diamonds? The Devil himself gave them to me...
What number-one lineup?
Last I heard, Winn is out, having bonked his ankle with his bat, and Rowand is still out with hurty ribs. The rest of the team just plays like it's hurt.

Winn is a late scratch in this game, too. Roberts is taking his spot.

Okay, so Rowand is playing. I've been at work, see....
EEEEEE! for archives and articles, Almost EEEEEE! for current stuff (with "current" really meaning "most recent," which a lot of the time means "way long ago."
OK, so
Roberts has a career OBP of .340, and Lewis (including his time in the minors) has a career OBP of .380.
Roberts is batting leadoff because.....?
And Bocock
has a OBP over 500 so far this season...
Eugeniooooooo!!!!
by FairweatherFan on Apr 7, 2008 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Which is why
I was counting Lewis's 2200 MiLB at bats too.
Roberts hasn't gotten on base at Lewis's clip in 8 years, and that was in AAA.
At least Lewis did it in AAA in the last 2 years.
I agree with you...
My point is even Bocock would be a better choice.
But Bochy would say "Roberts is a lead-off hitter"
He's all about roles, ya know?

First Time Post
Hey guys, longtime reader, first time poster. I have a poem due in a class I'm taking at the University of Arkansas. The class is Sports Journalism and the assignment is a poem about your favorite team. Can anyone give me a few stanzas on their take on the team this year? I appreciate it and let's get a W today.
http://www.tomorrowlands.org/elynne/dp3.html
Self-Abuse
You take it, and you take it
And you learn,
You learn all too well,
So that later, when there's nobody to dish it out,
You can punch yourself in the gut
And take it some more.
The best part is,
With training and practice,
You learn your own soft spots and weaknesses,
So that you become your own best tormentor.
Double up over the pain and swallow.
It'll still be there tomorrow,
Waiting for you.

SF was then able to draft Will Clark in 1985 draft and Matt Williams in the 1986 draft to improve the club dramatically.

Awesome.
I hope his arm is still attached to his body when the team is good again
Well, at that rate
Bochy will probably let him go to the 7th

Does He
have John Kruk's missing one ?

hey i'm watching the gamecast on mlb.com, is maddux getting a much bigger strike zone or is that just my imagination.
according Miller and Flem, it's pretty consistent for both
Billy Hayes: Nine more big-league plate appearances than you.
it's getting bigger but
reynolds knows the game is over regardless a pitchout might catch the corner if we get another baserunner

Tempting
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me,
It was just my imagination

Two runs for you

Two double plays for me?

So when is the kitten going up in flames ?
My adopted son Matt Downs. Bill Mueller without the two-flap helmet .
cain didn't know what to do when we scored in the first
thus the control issues
by Dusty's Toothpick on Apr 7, 2008 2:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Me too
This has gotta be really frustrating for them.
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
I really think
That certain things really bother Cain, and end up affecting his game.
Eugeniooooooo!!!!

this could be the best part about having lincecum pitch the day after cain, cus if cain doesnt have a good outing, we dont have to wait long to see lincecum
how in the hell
do you get picked off by dave roberts
by Dusty's Toothpick on Apr 7, 2008 2:40 PM PDT reply actions
Giants, confused
turn DP instead of hit into one
Billy Hayes: Nine more big-league plate appearances than you.
What is
this "Double Play" you speak of ?
My adopted son Matt Downs. Bill Mueller without the two-flap helmet .
Ask Rich Aurilia
he is intimately acquainted
Billy Hayes: Nine more big-league plate appearances than you.
The 1st base ump was diggin that dbl play!
I wanted to adopt, but all the good looking babies were taken
Seriously...
...the Giants should yank those commercials now. They're fucking embarrassing.
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
the commercials aren't the only thing

or AuriLOLa

Didn't it used to be the Grand Auto Grand Slam Inning?
Do I still have to think Spee Dee Oil Change and Tune Up whenever there's a pitching change?

Yabu's warming up for the third time? Good thing he's old and we don't care about his arm, right?

In other news...
Orioles sweep the Mariners, are now 5-1. So at least one team in orange-and-black is off to a good start.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
it doesn't matter who goes tomorrow
who is pitching for the other team?
then again that doesn't matter either

Are we sure
this isn't Barry Zito in Cain's uniform today?
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
Well, now I get to continue debating whether having Cain on the Fantasy squad over AJ Burnett or another closer is a good idea.
Aurilia sounds like a planet out of StarFox.
Did You Know?
Roberto Kelly once had two balls ricochet off his head the same week.
Brian Bocock was not involved.

this is the worst giants team ever
for all you giant fans who debated who should play in the outfield and who should sit, it is clear that they all stink. they are a bunch of jason ellison.
Oh , piss on Joe Crede.
I was catching the Sunday DET/CWS game on ESPN while driving to Vegas and Crede shat the bed defensively , two throwing errors to first.
