It’s not too bad besides Grandpa leading off.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I’d also rather see Burriss than Velez. But I’m knitting picks.

That's what I mean

it’s like 7/8ths what we want, but Bochey just never does the right thing. EVER. He plays the kids everywhere else, then puts dave fucking roberts in LF. How does that make sense?

mr bunion does need a day off once in a while yea?

Bill Mueller? I expect at least A-Rod type numbers from my son, Conor Gillaspie

by Gamer101 on Aug 14, 2008 10:51 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Why not have Roberts lead off with Winn 2nd and bump everyone up and put Velez before Rohlinger….That’s what I would’ve preferred

Roberts
Winn
Rowand
Pablo
TI
Velez
Rohlinger
Ochoa

Compromise lineup

The kids get to play, but Bochy still gets to throw in his crafty veteran.

I’m thrilled the youngsters are getting a shot, but this is feeling like an 0-8 road trip to me. Not that it matters.

No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.

No photoshop at work, but I had an idea and I ran with it...

Nice, but who are those two blonde kids. They look like mashers.

WHY IS WORK? :(

This is precisely why working from home kicks ass. SUCKERS!

Or, why watching MLB.tv in your office, while you’re at work, is awesome!

For the first time in my life the Giants have a player that is younger than I am… Now I feel old.
