My wife, two-year-old and I will be leaving for the ballpark in about an hour. Yay! It’s the first Giants-Dodgers game I’ve been to in several years, and the first my wife has ever been to. All on the day of the great CFL Bulb Riot of Aught-Eight.
Cain’s pitched very well the last couple of times I’ve seen him pitch in person, and the Giants are 3-1 in games I’ve been to the last two years. Hopefully these trends will hold.

I know why he was voted in, I just don’t think he deserves it (yet).
I know most of his runs have been given up in non-save situations, but you know, they count too. Just because he’s a closer doesn’t give him a free pass to give up runs willy-nilly when he’s brought in in non-save situations.

Fred Lewis would have been a better vote option than Rowand for the AS Game….
by Hobbes2d on Jul 6, 2008 1:47 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Because Lewis is the better player. Rowand been decent but nothing special. He K’s a lot, and hasn’t really been all that impressive in CF. He seems to have a better rep defensively just because he dives into things.
Lewis gets on base, he’s learned to be a good leadoff hitter and improved his OF defense.

...it doesn’t have anything to do with who else plays CF, it has to do with the number of plays within his zone that Rowand makes. And he leads the entire NL in RZR, not just centerfielders.

my assumption is that jprony is being sarcastic
but it was Cain who did give up a hit to the 8 hole guy (hitting 180) and he does make his own mistakes in the field as well.

seriously though, it's these innings that kill you
they’re leading off with the 8 hole hitter, who should be an automatic out.
okay, he gets a hit, it’s the majors, that stuff happens, now get the pitcher out

We just got back from the ballpark. Ugh. Thoroughly depressing. It was the sort of game where they constantly raise your hopes – the beginnings of big innings OVER AND OVER AGAIN, Cain showing flashes of true dominance, etc. – and then they dash those hopes time and time and time again. And all of it against the Dodgers’ B-team.
Probably the only bright spot was Romo, who looked pretty good. Oh, and I managed to kill a “Let’s Go Dodgers!” chant in my section by asking them if they didn’t have a beach ball to toss around or something. Not the most original taunt, but amazingly, it shut them up instantly. They fail.
Also, a rowdy Giants fan in my section got arrested in the ninth inning. Shades of Giants-Dodgers games at Candlestick! Only then it was more like 2 dozen fans getting arrested.
My son appears to be bad luck at games. The Giants are 1-3 in games he’s been to since he was born two years ago. On the other hand, they’re 2-0 in games I’ve been to without him since his birth. Also, they were letting kids run the bases, but he fell asleep while we were walking over to enter the field. Sad!
