by bondslegend on May 9, 2008 7:12 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

His excuse for the Pittsburgh sweep is that their lefty pitchers shut down our running game. So I’m sure he’ll come up with something good.

I didn’t hear him say that, but I heard Kuiper attributing it to him on the pre-game.

Hey if you look just above the O...

In Wisconsin there’s where I live!

And stop bitching about Patrick Misch vs Tim Lincecum. There’s nothing you can do about it. If it were Hamels vs Lincecum and Moyer vs Misch we’d probably lose both. We probably will probably lose both, but Lincecum vs Moyer gives us a bit of a chance.

Whenever a former Giants player...

Plays against us again we never seem to follow the scouting report on him. Example: Pedro Feliz is a hacker, pitch it in the dirt and he’ll swing at it. Whereas when an new Giants player plays against his old team, they always get him out because they remember what would get him out.

You know,

Jose Castillo was a smart pickup from a a GM’s perspective. He’s cheap, young and can stand near third base.

But I have to say that sitting through his at-bats is so unfun that I find it physically excrutiating.

But at least he worked the count on that one.

I was there...

Class years of 2002-2005. In 2002 we had the old speakers in our gym that were there from St. Francis. Really nice ones. Then 2003 year they took those speakers and we had these speakers that looked like they were from the 70’s. Then 2004 year we got new ones.
