Oh, dang. I wanted to follow along with the Giants game, but the Dodgers/Phillies are on TV. I have to watch whatever game is on TV.
I hope Fox appreciates the four extra viewers they get with these blackouts. Maybe those four extra viewers put them at a nice round number, like 50,000.
It makes me absolutely sick when the Giants game isn't on TV. What are they trying to accomplish? Do they really think that I'm going to stop what I'm doing to watch whatever crap game they pick out? I can't remember the last time I've been so disgu...
Oh. Now I feel silly. Fox was looking out for us like a big brother. Boy, is there egg on my face. We owe you one, Fox.

Good thing Zito’s starting. We’ve fallen all the way to #6 in the draft pick race, with the A’s, Reds, Pirates, and Rockies all nipping on our heels.
Even closer to the division title, right?

I know its Zito starting...
but I still want to watch the fucking game. Especially if Sandoval and Ishikawa are playing. I missed getting to see Pablito at 3rd last night :(. How did he look?
good, i thought
Footwork was solid, throws were strong but a little wild. I’m sure he was amped.

Dirk Hayhurst
This will mean zilch to y’all but … A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of watching Hayhurst pitch the game of his life.
It was against the San Jose Giants, when they took Lake Elsinore to a deciding Game 5 of the Calif. League Championship. With all the marbles on the line (to mix as many metaphors as possible), Hayhurst went 7 innings and allowed only ONE hit, no walks. He dominated.
The bullpen promptly coughed up 3 runs in the 8th and the Giants won. But I’ve been kind of a Hayhurst fan ever since then… plus, he was doing a pretty amusing blog for some-or-other publication, calling it the Non-Prospect Watch or something like that.
Anyway, it’s great to see him get a crack at the Bigs, and even though it’s against the Giants, i’ll be secretly pulling for him.
I don’t know. if you’re FOX, would you rather show the shitty as Giants and Padres or contending teams like the Dodgers and Phillies? it’s sorta a no-brainer to me.

See, the issue here isn’t that our game isn’t the national game. It’s that Fox won’t broadcast our game to the built-in audience for it in San Diego and the Bay Area.

Yes, but
those of us who pay for mlb.tv would sorta like to see the team we paid to see. It’s effing bullshit that we can’t use our PAID SUBSCRIPTION to watch games on Saturday.

whoa hairston has 17 homers? Crazy, not even a full-time player and still would be way in the lead for the Giants, half his games are in petco too. It seems like he hits a ton against the giants, but I didn’t realize he was showing that much power this year.

Anyone else amused...
That once we started playing the kids, the team started winning more games? Granted we haven’t exactly had a tough schedule of late, but still.
Not amused,
more like pissed off. This happened early in the year, too. Then the kids sat to “showcase” the vets, and also Bowker stopped hitting.

I have no issue with preferring Chamberlin to Lincecum, but when people say that theey like Kershaw or Scherzer better, that baffles me.
you can't block the Bocock
Hard to argue if someone likes Joba better. But I agree bout the other 2. Of course the problem with Joba like Scherzer is can he stay healthy enough to be in the rotation? I still think Joba will end up replacing Rivera as the closer.
+
The argument for Joba over Lincecum would include Joba bigger, stronger body and it’s theoretical lesser potential for injury. But living in NY and having seen Joba pitch as often as I have this year, I like Timmy’s stuff better. It’s got more movement, velocity and he’s got a better curve.

FunFact: for the first radio broadcasts, info on what was happening was transmitted from the ballpark to the announcers, who called the game blind from the radio station.
Yeah
Ronald Reagan admitted that once when he did a Cubs game this way and he lost the transmission, he made up that the batter was fouling off a bunch of pitches to stay alive when really he had no idea what was going on.

his 8 wins now tie Cain and Sanchez for second on the team.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
I'm guessing this has already been noted...
Just noticing that Pablo Sandoval’s minor league weight is listed at 180, while his major league weight is listed at 245.
Is this for real? He’s put on 65 lbs in four years?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
I think...
The logical explanation is that he was never 180.

We went over to say “hi” to Delorean, the lovely Mrs. Delorean and his parents. We all know that Delorean is the proud owner of a cool Yomuri Giants jersey that was given to him by the lovely Mrs. Delorean. So what’s he wearing at the game? A freakin’ Cubs jersey!!!
Unless it was a birthday gift that he felt obligated to wear it, he lost a lot of street cred here at McC.
Zooperstars, they quack me up!
there's an explanation
Bill Hayes got two cups of coffee with the Cubs in the ’80s—the lovely Tracy found out what number he had with the Cubs and got me a replica Bill Hayes jersey a coupla years ago. I showed it to Bill a in Scottsdale a while back, and he loved it. Allegedly he had a picture of me, him, and the jersey in his locker for a while.
I’ll dig the picture up and post it, but I don’t blame you for being confused.
Also, thanks for coming over to say hey — I was gonna do that in the 3rd, but Tracy said I should hang out until after the 4th. It was then thats I knew I was getting a scoreboard greeting!

One other thing, the play by Burriss in the top of the 8th was completely insane. Just to get to the ball showed amazing range…and then he made a terrific throw with his momentum taking him toward left-center.
I’m guessing maybe there’s half a dozen second baseman in the league who can make that play.

Draft Picks
Why do some people want us to lose to just get a higher draft pick. If im not mistaken, we have had a CY young canidate and the best minor league pitcher drafted at the #10 spot. There is still great value through the top-10 picks. I want more W’s, youth, and respect!
Because once in a rare while an Arod type talent is in the draft and they only go to #1. I’m talking a sure thing like Junior or Dave Winfield. #2 won’t cut it.
