There would actually have to be men on base in the 5th inning to jinx that.

Hey, Bowker got his first ML stolen base earlier in the game. Does he get to take 2nd base home with him?
today he is the greatest
in the history of the world.

and it actually made the Sandler movie look funny by comparison.

They have a 2-hour movie in which to find 3 minutes worth of funny stuff for the trailer, and that was the best they could manage?

Good to hear it
I’m really glad it wasn’t another pitcher. I guess a catcher is a big area of need. Something wrong with Smoak? 1B not as big a priority with Bowker?
Justin Smaok
The only thing I can think is that he had a tough time playing for Team USA last summer

Sure, he's struggling now
He did hit 10 homers and walked 33 times in less than 200 at-bats last year. I bet that batting average will come up in the near future.

Fred Lewis's batting stance reminds me of Michael Tucker
I don’t like that.

Whenever Tucker connected with a home run, his swing looked really nice. Too bad he was usually striking out.
Funny you should mention home runs.

Brian Sanchez
Is he a morphing of Brian Wilson and Jonathan Sanchez? If so, I hope it’s the one that got all of the control problems. And, also, if that is the case we must search for Jonathan Wilson as quickly as possible.

Jay Bruce – 3/4, 2 runs, 3 RBI
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 6, 2008 7:06 PM PDT reply actions
So far, Dusty just leaves him alone. That’s the key: start out well so Dusty gets a good first impression. Then that impression will last forever. If he had started 0-13 with 6 Ks, he would never again leave the minors.
Although: Dusty did play Matt Murton, which is more than I can say for Piniella and Hendry. We could really use Murton and Rich Hill, who have just been buried.

But Bruce will fail
And then hit a home run.

In the 2nd inning behind home plate. Nice that it was off a Giants pitcher. Hadn’t caught one since 1978 at Candlestick.
