Open Gameday Thread, 8/12 Part 2: Threadaggedon
The thought of Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum spending the primes of their respective careers on a team that scores run like Natto scores chicks makes me sad inside.
edit: BRAD AUSMUS HAS STOLEN CHRISTMAS, HANNUKAH AND JOY. HE MUST DIE. What the hell, man.

LOS ANGELES—From the day the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Manny Ramirez, manager Joe Torre said his colorful left fielder wouldn’t be removed for a defensive replacement in the late innings…
Don't you it's gonna be all right. But not right now.
Three plus innings of Giants relievers required. Strangely, I don’t feel good about this.

What really pisses me off is that Timmy was pitching really well, he had struck out the last 4 batters and had a 1 hitter going. All ruined now.

hit in the knee area by a batted ball, had to leave the game.

Ah. That’s probably for the best. Can limit his innings that way, and no reason to have him pitching in a meaningless game after getting hit by a comebacker.
