Post-Game...

I'm not sure yet if it's Post-Game Fun Chatter or Post-Game Lamentations, as I'm typing this in the 7th-inning (nice catch, Randy!). But I have a train to catch after this is over.

I have an explanation for Nate:

Bochy and Nate actually fell in during spring training, but then, during the final exhibition games, they had a terrible breakup. Bochy then went to the doctor from Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, and had Nate erased from this memory.

is that what does playing “the match ups” mean to a MLB manager. It means LOOKING UP WHAT TO DO ON A FREAKIN’ CHART.

what an exciting Wilson-time.

Top of the 8th – I was hating Howry (hungover from his last “set-up” appearance). Anxious, jittery. Me that is. Wilson threw three balls and then three strikes.

Then Torres popped one out, and in the 9th Wilson was scary, then scarier, then the DP and the K. So nice. It’s why we watch/listen.

While I don't bet

I did reach a peace accord with my expectations for the Giants yesterday. Basically, I told myself that if they suck this year, that’s okay, because they are still giving me a lot to look forward to in years to come, and frankly, I’m used to them sucking.

Of course, they had to go WIN one after that.

Plus, trouble with the low breaking ball isn’t the end of the world. A lot of MLB pitchers can’t spot that pitch. And I think TI was forced into swinging at it by the ump’s low strike zone.

Dirty

After giving up a double to start the game—which was smoked— he went on a solid run, something like 18 of 20 batters…they couldn’t do a lot with him, although there were 3-4 hit right at people.

From my seat, a couple of the Dbacks outfield flys looked like they were going deep, but all but one to FLewis died well short of the wall.
