Started out with wiring money to the IRS. Then spent time with Sallie Mae on the phone because my duaghter is 35 days late on her student loans that I am cosigner on (dropped another Grand there). Attended a work meeting from 7 PM to 9:15 PM while monitoring the game on my BB the whole time. Get in the car to come home and hear the G’s go ahead on Scott’s homer (yea ! ), only to get home and have them lose (boo !)

Technically, yes

Saves can be received in these situations:

  1. Pitcher is the one to get the last out of the game, and his team is up by three runs.
  2. Tying run is on the on-deck circle, and the pitcher comes in to get the out(s).
  3. Pitcher goes three innings to finish a game.

Where to start...

Uribe and Aurilia were starting. Velez was used as a defensive replacement. If the game had gone to extra innings we would have seen a pitcher most likely strapping on catcher gear.

The most egrigious would be letting Howry single handedly lose the game instead of pulling him in the 8th when he ran into to trouble, or at the beginning of the 9th to stop the bleeding.

Better off this way

If the Giants start the season off really poorly, I won’t be able to get my hopes up like I did for half the season last year, and I can move on to getting my hopes up in other areas of my life, money and women. This is just one less opportunity for disappointment.

Positivity over.

“He’s never had a slump before.”

Really? He’s hit .280 before.. Usually .280 hitters have some slumps.

“Pitchers seemed to have caught on to his game.”

I haven’t sensed that at all.
I really just see a guy who isn’t seeing the ball like he normally does.
A lot of the pitches that I see him popping up and grounding out to, are pitches that he hit hard last year.

Each of our hitters has flaws that are too easily taken advantage of. Pablo will swing at everything, Aurilia can’t hit the offspeed, Ishi can’t hit inside breaking balls, Velez can’t hit pitches, etc. etc.
