Open Gameday Thread III: Bruce Bochy Wears a Tanooki Suit

PrintI just picked up Brian Horwitz in my fantasy league. That isn't an unrealistic fanboy kneejerk reaction. Nosiree. Not at all.
(Final line for the season: .321/.392/.450, 16 SB, 65 runs, 58 RBI...shortstop eligibility by July...you know I'm making sense right now....)

I didn't see the first gameday thread
How many times did Wil say “Scout Alert” about Ray Durham?

You know Cain’s thinking the same thing. He probably fumes in the clubhouse when the team gets 13 hits two days before his starts.

It’s nights like these that make me think “hey, this team is one legitimate 1Bman and one reliever away from contending!!”
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 2, 2008 9:37 PM PDT reply actions
although
If Winn, Rowand, Molina, and Durham hit like they have (Winn and Durham probably will, the others, not so much), then the team isn’t that bad, really. Having Bonds instead of Winn would have been nice…

Here's the deal with the Mets for me.
Every time I see a Mets uniform I see Estes hopping around off of second base, and Baker letting Gardner bat for himself in the 5th inning of game 4.
It’s not the Met’s fault, it just continues to suck.
Bobby Jones. One hitter.
I just threw up in my mouth saying his name.

Man, that’s gotta suck for the Red Wings. 40 seconds from a Stanley Cup, they give up the lead, play 50 more minutes and lose. Almost Giants-like in its tragic drama.

True
And at Joe Louis, no less.
It was in Game 5 and not Game 6, though, and I have little doubt that the Wings are going to win.

The Giants have been more interesting this year than the last few. They’ve had flashes of interesting youth, and Schierholtz is still in the minors, which is fine, and Frandsen will come alive next year, which is okay.

I've been trying to figure that out
Kruk’s son? Dave’s dad?
Only 915 games until the end of Zito's contract
That's my guess too
I know Kruk has some kids about that age. And he looks like Kruk.
If not that, then he is definitely Flemm’s dad.
