It was actually better than his last at bat.
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
I’m kinda fascinated to see how low Vizquel’s batting average will get.

I thought he was the homeplate umpire, the third base umpire ejected Bochy

Omar Vizquel FunFacts!!!!!
FIrst 7 Games he played in this year: 9/25 – .360 BA
41 Games he’s played in since: 15/131 – .115 BA
THANK GOD Bochy’s giving him a chance to bust out of this wee little slump.
It’s really sad when your .156 BA is inflated by a hot start. Also when your OBP is 50 points higher than your SLG, and is still 30 points below .250.
What a depressing end to a great career. Thanks, Bochy, for letting the bleeding continue indefinitely. Sigh.
how dare you
this is OMAR VIZQUEL we are talking about.

If Vizquel was a dog you'd have him put down

I wonder what Grant and the Baron and the others are doing right now.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I was freezing my behind off and trying to flag down the hot chocolate vendor, to no avail. Plus my pencil broke so I had to scratch the lead on my scorecards for the last few innings just to write with it. All around, a shitty night.
I did get a Fred Lewis shirt. I found one at a kiosk on the promenade level. Only place I’ve seen one.

Ooh, they have Fred Lewis shirts now? I’m going to need to (attempt to) get one on Wednesday.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Ya. Go in through the Lefty O’Doul Gate and go up the stairs. Right there at the second staircase, the kiosk to the left has the Fred shirts. They have Medium and Large, no small. Oh well. I figured he’s my husband and I’d better wear his shirt.
And who got on base the most last night? That’s right. All thanks to my shirt.

actually we get a run and then run to 1st base. Unless we turned a corner before going to bat. But that would be silly.

Also
A few years back, my wife and I drove from Chicago to Milwaukee to see the Giants play. We spent the evening making fun of the Brewers, because they had been so lousy for so long, because they failed so badly, and because their fans were so resigned to shit that they only cared about the sausage races and Bonds at-bats.
Guess what? We’re that team now. Feh.
This was in 2004, by the way
Bonds was about to hit #660, which is why Brewers fans cared. Also our last wining season. Missed the NL West title by 2 games. Then came close to losing 90 the next year.
trade cain
y does cain have to keep going thru this shit over and over. pitching great and keep losing.
trade him to a good squad and get some value back and it would be a good thing for us and cain. cain doesnt deserve to be on a team that hits a home run every other month
we are contenders
as long as we are in the NL west keep thinking we are contenders
i wish
JCB9, hey as long as we have brian sabean forget about building a good team around cain. brian sabean should first trade greg papa for a pack of gum
First, the reply button is your friend. Second, I think it’s pretty safe to say that everyone here is fully aware of Sabean’s stupidity.
jcb9
yes they are aware how stupid he is but its funny how he hasnt changed at all and contunied to be stupid
i just dont understand
do the giants know that 4 balls isnt a out? because everytime they get on a 3 ball count they looked confused
Or, as Sabean says
they’re fulled with confisuon
haha
haha my spelling might be as bad as the giants offense
or as bad as Brian Sabean’s team building skills!
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
sabean sucks
i swear i have never seen no one as bad as sabean. i mean how did we start with him in the first place and y he come back
slugging giants???
haha i was just watching sportscenter and they were doing there titletown on San Fran, and they said San Fran is the home of the Slugging Giants…. yea right more like the slug giants
It's Within Reach!
Gigantics can go 22-44 the rest of the way and reach a dubious 100!
would be difficult...
Non-contending teams’ records usually take a down-turn in September when they call up and use players who aren’t ready for MLB play. Since we’ve already done that, our .417 winning percentage probably reflects our true talent level.

Yeah, the organizational thinking was… Unpossible.
Why in the world didn’t they find an actual AAA shortstop on the scrap-heap somewhere once Omar broke? Not that it would have gotten us much more than an extra win or two probably, but still… It shows you that the lights are on but nobody’s home.

D backs bout to lose
so giants are still going to be 7 back its a shame no one wants this garbage divison
7 games back in a dog division
equals 49 human games back anywhere else

No one noticed
Today’s matchup featured the two leading HR hitters among pitchers this year.
Fred Lewis can stand under my umbrella.
Kuiper noticed, and spent the rest of the game weeping in the corner and calling out for his mother.
WAIT. Kuiper was in town and we had to listen to Papa?
WHAT IS THIS SHIT.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Nah, just a reference to both pitchers having more home runs this year that Kuiper had in his career.
Although now I can’t remember who was on radio with Flemming. Which is funny, because I listened to a lot of the game on the radio. I need to get more sleep.
Papa
is it just me or does Greg Papa get excited over everything the giants do despite the score. because he sounded awfully excited when winn got a single in the 9th of a 9 to 1 game
nomar garciaparra
nomar had 2 home runs today and that is more than kuiper in his whole career. so sad
Hey, I just noticed the Rockies tied us for third place
Were they really in the World Series last year? Geez.
And the Dodgers are about to beat Arizona in 11
Unfortunately, I suspect the Dodgers will end up winning this pathetic division. Just watch them have a sub-.500 record and win the World Series anyway.
Whoever wins the NL West is going out in the 1st round
