San Francisco Giants @ Atlanta Braves


Stupid Fox. All I want to do is watch sports on my day off, but Fox forces these late Saturday games on all of the teams who aren't in the Cubkeesoxinals matrix.

In protest, I'm watching horses dance around in some sort of pen. The Olympic logo is in the corner of the TV screen, but I think someone's putting me on.

Sanchez DL, Romo Back

From Baggarly:

Sanchez has a left shoulder strain. It isn’t believed to be serious, but they’ll have tests when the club gets back to San Francisco in a few days. They’ll officially put him on the DL after the game. Sergio Romo is traveling from the West Coast and will be available tomorrow.

Matt Palmer is starting in Sanchez’s place today vs. Atlanta

awesome seeing pablito at first. also awesome realizing that castillo isn’t in the lineup . . . because he isn’t on the team anymore.

I also saw that Merkin went on the 60 day dl tho at the moment the link is eluding me

Very cool for Matt Palmer. 29 years old and finally getting a start in the big leagues.

by Evan on Aug 16, 2008 4:15 PM PDT   0 recs

Just great

Giants are down to two starters: Timmy and Cain. I guess we could steal the pray for rain line from the 50’s. Lincecum and Cain and pray for rain.

Doesn’t say much for the pitching depth at AAA tho’

are you kidding?

Just wait til Hennessey and Misch get their shots. Those kids are the real deal!

jesse Foppert ftw

Hell yeah

I refuse to give up on Foppert, no matter how much things like common sense and reality try to convince me otherwise.

Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

Man I hate being a Giants fan

I cannot think of a single thing to be excited about today

SARCHASM

Wasn’t very detectable, but the day after Posey signs, I say there’s nothing to be excited about….and Palmer’s pitching and Pablo’s in the lineup. There’s a lot to be excited about…

a gidp that any other runner with an ounce of speed would have reached [ 1st base] safely on

ball to short

throw to 2nd basemen who side steps rowand, double clutches, and beats bengie by 2 steps

he actually smoked a cigarette before the throw, too.

At least he didn’t run the ball over the first.

by non sequitur on Aug 16, 2008 4:25 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Could we take up a collection and buy him a Segway?

by Merope on Aug 16, 2008 4:23 PM PDT   0 recs

I demand that someone shop Bengie onto Gob’s Segway immediately.

we’ll get to see how palmer handles pressure?

Hey Matt,

You many not get another shot at this. You don’t want to look back on it and say “I shoulda thrown strikes.”

"I shouldn't have sucked"

Zito’s regular conversation

by bondslegend on Aug 16, 2008 4:31 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Something that really annoys me

when announcers say “us” and “we” when referring to the team they’re covering. Unless the Braves’ color guy played for them, I wish he’d stop.

by bondslegend on Aug 16, 2008 4:32 PM PDT   0 recs

According to Gameday, there’s not much speed differential between Palmer’s fastball (88-ish) and slider (85-86). Is this what people see?

by non sequitur on Aug 16, 2008 4:34 PM PDT   0 recs

Abdul, can you get us a number crunch?
