Yes, but I can’t be impressed by someone on the other team, no matter how good they are. It just pisses me off
true. it would be nice if there was something about the Giants that was worth watching.

His skull is really, really large.
It’s why he wasn’t in any danger when that foul ball shot into the dug out in Pitt.
Only 937 games until the end of Zito's contract
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.
give Misch some credit...
12 runs is unlikely.

Will Lewis show Bochy that it is possible for lefties to hit lefties????
You won’t know unless you watch!
Only 937 games until the end of Zito's contract
Well, I have two:
1) I’m a Giants fan and I like to watch baseball, even if it’s lousy.
2) I can’t complain about it if I don’t watch it.
Though truth be told, I’ll miss much of the game and I’m not exactly broken up about it.
1) is enough for me

Also
What crazy things will Aaron Rowand and Eugenio Velez do???
Only 937 games until the end of Zito's contract
thankfully chase utley and ryan howard are out of the lineup!
since we’re pitching a lefty and all.
wait… what’s that you say?
Lefty is probably only part of the equation here
They are facing the Giants. They don’t need them so why not give them an off-day.
Only 937 games until the end of Zito's contract
haha. i was thinking maybe i was being obtuse?
by sweetjuxtapose on May 9, 2008 7:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Maybe not, but he looked flat-out horrible in the last series. It doesn’t sound like he’s worked things out since.
51 K's through 36 games
That’s a 229.5 K pace.
He has looked bad so far. But I doubt it will last the whole season.
Only 937 games until the end of Zito's contract
i could see 220 Ks if he also gets on pace for 50 HRs.

Misch match
Pat Misch and Giants Lineup vs. Cole Hamels and Phillies Lineup – unfair.
we win this game maybe one out of every hundred times.

Does he get boo’d or cheered?

Why would he get cheered?
He wasn’t exactly BLB during his time here…but I don’t see why he should be booed either. He wasn’t a jerk or anything, just couldn’t hit low and away
they should start fining Burriss

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.

some people log into this site just to bitch and try to come up with something funny. logic goes bye bye. maybe they are single and there was no room in the bowling league in their town. oh well. it’s their fun to overreact.
I like complaining and bowling
but I don’t really care what order the pitchers go in
you can't block the Bocock
I like Patrick Misch
He pitches 1-2-3 innings for the Giants.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."

Now Freddie can say “Hey, Skip, see it’s not just because I’m a lefty.”

TERRIBLE
Pitching performance by Misch.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:

Pedro hits a curve the opposite way?
Only vs us
Alright...
HEART of the order. In two ways.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
That pop-up barely got in the air at all.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
It’s one thing to suck against Hamels, but watching this offense against Moyer tomorrow will be doubly painful.
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.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
And so it starts...
Giants fans, grab a cold cool ::interference:: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale ::interference over:: it’s game time.

Seemed to be good catch.
Had to reach back a bit but that was just because he ran head down and then looked up and the ball was a bit off where he thought it was.

Righty in the box.
I’d make Freddie take off.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:

Pretty sure also..
Castillo can be sent down to AAA. His contract has a major league and minor league salary.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
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.

Bellarmine...
Never liked them since they beat us the only year I went to CCS.

also not a bellarmine fan. had to ride the train with those bellarmine guys every day going to school. also might be because i’m a st. francis guy.
St. Francis...
Never like them. They took back their speakers when they left Branham.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
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.

That hit by Freddie
It shows just how much Tim Kawakami knows what’s up. He is so right that Freddie is more valuable than Barry Bonds this year. He can so hit lefties. Gamer.
