Honestly, its 2 and a half hours of just Ks and double plays,Snooooore

I mean its the later innings when all the excitement starts happening, like when the base runners get on, and the when the giants get extra base hits, its quite astonishing really

Also, the giants havent scored more than 4 runs once this year correct?

How pathetic is that, and they have 3 wins also, wow, just wow, how do these pitchers pitch with the thought of giving up just one run will pretty much eliminate the chance for a win, so kudos to them

Later in the year..

You'll be watching quite a few 9th innings where we're down by 6, 7, 8 runs then.

I dunno, I expected we'd get 50, maybe even 60 of those

you're going to skip the young pitching?

You'd skip the Enchanter and the DirtyOne amassing their K's? That stuff is pretty exciting. And the offense doesn't usually take very long in their suckitude. It not like last year when Bonds would get on and then there'd be a lot of standing around. Now they just make outs, and if they happen to get on base they just get picked off or DPed. So that the fans can enjoy some more Giant's pitching!

But actually they have been pretty hot on the basepaths. 11 S and 4 CS for a 73%. Minus some silly PO and thats pretty good for Old Guys, exciting young guys, and one A player in the wrong league.

you're absolutely right!

I don't care.

seriously, I like watching at least until the other team goes ahead (for good usually). Sometimes that's the first inning, sometimes later on. The longer the Giants keep the other team tied or behind, the more likely I am to keep watching. once they fall behind. it's over and I flip the channel.

Bonds stands alone.
