I thought Lastings was going to run into the dugout after recording the first out there.

Questioning Bochy
Sanchez has thrown many pitches in a steam bath. He only threw a total of 76 innings last season and will be asked to throw many, many more this season. Do not push too hard Bochy.
it was more like 90, but your point stands

No, you are right. Never mind.
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 7, 2008 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions
how many pitches for Lincecum yesterday? It was less than 90, so why is Bochy asking more from Sanchez especially after he only threw 76 innings last season?
Bochy seems to be going for innings and not pitches.
Also, it is a 0-0 game today, so there’s that.

The hit and run leads to a double play for us
I actually saw the hit and run lead to a hit for us a while back and now this. Something is seriously wrong with the world. Things are actually breaking our way.
Only 911 games until the end of Zito's contract
why did gomez stop running half way down the line lol
looked like Benji speed but he just didnt run it out
If Winn played on an opposing team that the Giants were playing, and Molina was on first base, and the next hitter hit a single to right field and Bengie tried for third and Winn attempted to throw him out, would that play ever actually end?

Rally Ibn Battuta takes it. Even if that was foul.
Had Vizquel actually homered there
I would nominate the Battuta as a permanent resident here at the MCC

A Vizquel homer would have been a miracle, though.
