87 MPH

by passionately objective on May 7, 2008 5:10 PM PDT

Just when I thought Barry was prime for a meltdown during the bottom of the 3rd, he gets out of it. Did I mention that he hit 87 on a low fastball.

Of course, as I'm typing this, he gets rocked for a 2 run shot. Not good since that looked like a meat sandwich, wrapped in meat, served in a meat sauce on a meat plate.

Let's see how he recovers, if he does at all.

Too bad it wasn’t 88 mph, or maybe he could have gone back in time to when he was actually good.

Weren't those the days?

88-89 MPH fastball, a Cy Young, and the hearts and minds of the East Bay. You know, maybe the Giants can take that $126M and invest in a time machine…...

Pulled and pissed?

Zito is being pinch hit for, and he’s shaking his head no and looks pissed off.

Barry pitched pretty well last ight. Too bad Jose Castillo single handedly ended the two realy run scoring opportunities…nice groundouts in flyball situations. Love that.

maybe

not GIDP on a 1-0 count in the top of the ninth with the tying runs on base? Maybe?

I, too, would like a poly. A small white one. And some high quality bourbon.

Don’t forget the rocketship.

I’d settle for the flying cars we were promised in 1966.

According to Jon Miller during the broadcast, the strike zone was “extremely generous and the low score in this evening’s game tends to reflect that…” Watching the highlights (such as they were) Zito seemed fairly similar to the one who was shelled in his prior starts. Some snagged line drives and nice defensive plays, kept the Pirates from scoring at least 3 more runs. Which would have put Zito at 5 runs in 5 innings. Par for the course.

Its been a long time.
