You got this up quick, Grant.
I think it’s gonna be a long, long, long, long season. Good thing I stocked up on scotch.
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
Yeah, I started when the Dodgers loaded the bases with no one out. If anyone thinks that was a jinx, they’re stupid faces.

Way to cap off a really bad day. Couldn’t get out to see Green Day 2 nights in a row, and now the Giants have lost 5 straight.

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

Maybe Uribe. I think you should add Torres to your short list. Burriss and Ishi are well ahead of Velez, and Renteria (even old slow bad Renteria) is miles ahead of Velez.

Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
burriss is making some pretty velezian errors of late.
renteria, so far, is a kind of bad that can’t really be compared with any other kind of bad.

Yeah, it sounds like I made the right choice.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
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.
Theres more but it just makes me upset.

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.

I deliberately skipped the last half of this game, and with Zito pitching and Aurillia and Uribe supposedly starting tomorrow, I’m thinking of skipping that, too.

This. Its awesome to be a free swinger when you are making contact and getting hits. But pitchers have caught on that he will swing at anything and are throwing to on deck batters.

“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.

ESPN must be pissed
The Yankees home opener in the new Yankee Stadium isn’t on ESPN but MLB Network (they got Bob Costas to do the game).
Our lineup is way too easy to scout
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.
