San Francisco Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks


W-LGGSCGSHOSVBSIPHRERHRBBKERAWHIP
2008 - Jonathan Sanchez 9-10 27 27 0 0 0 0 151.0 141 77 75 12 71 150 4.47 1.40

W-LGGSCGSHOSVBSIPHRERHRBBKERAWHIP
2008 - Brandon Webb 20-7 31 31 3 1 0 0 205.2 184 86 75 13 59 168 3.28 1.18

Here it is. The true test. If the Giants score more than three runs off of Brandon Webb, we'll know that Tim Lincecum is popular in the clubhouse. Like, varsity class president of the football team popular. We'll also know that Matt Cain chews with his mouth open, asks teammates if their 15-year-old sisters are "single", and hums "Pomp and Circumstance" for no good reason when he's in the clubhouse. 

I, for one, am curious to see how this plays out.

Cocky McCockerson

by wilriv21 on Sep 17, 2008 6:24 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

could that be his nickname forever? please?

it would be so funny, if five years down the line, no matter what he’d done in the interim, we referred to gillaspie as “cocky” or “mccockerson” or “scoob”.

any of those would really be fine by me.

I just got tickets to the last game of the year! Huzzah!

The one downside: it’s the same day as a concert I’d really like to go to (Jenny Lewis). They’re not at the same time or anything, but it’s still a bit much for one day.

The other one downside: I’ll miss the last gameday thread of the year!

I think the paper reported that Ishikawa (along with the rest of the team) likes Lincecum better than Cain, so they saved all their offense for tonight to help Timmy win. Or something like that.

Cain must hate them all by now.

Japanese pitcher

Anyone familiar with Junichi Tazawa?? An ESPN article reported on the 12th that a Japanese newspaper reported Giants were one of three teams scouting him (Yankees and Tigers were the other).

For me (being 28), Facebook/Myspace/etc. are quite handy in terms of getting back in touch with old friends from high school or college.

From Andrew Baggarly’s blog:

Some Giants personnel are really steamed over the past two losses to Arizona for a specific reason. In this series, they hoped to knock the Diamondbacks cold in the NL West race.
