Is it just me or Rowand becoming slowly unhateable in the leadoff spot. The combination of his hot streak / the comicalness of Rowand in the leadoff spot and succeeding have made me start to like him

Yeah, I see Bochy tried to squeeze an extra inning out of Lincecum, and then pulled him after he allowed baserunner(s). What a shocking turn of events.

25-24 - Giants Series Record: 10-5-2, 8-1 at home
Adopted Giant: Daryl "Dealio" Maday - 2nd bad start in a row. 5 ER, 7 H and 3 BB in only 4 1/3 IP. Overall ERA has risen to 3.99. Time to shape up, son. A thought: Maday has given up either 0, 1, 2, or 3 ER in every start except his last two, both of which have been against Portland. We'll blame it on those Sea Dogs!

Functional? Not really. A couple of those runs were due to the crazy hijinks of the Nats. I’m not all that excited about the way the Giants lunge for first pitches, fail to work the count, and otherwise look bad at the plate.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Blaming performance on the weather is stoopid, especially when the other team is playing in the same weather.

is that what they are doing?
we put the hockey game on
sort of a way to work out the Giants induced aggressions before bedtime.
Yup, it was brought up as a mitigating factor. I think suckage is the main reason that the team did so badly.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Just as clarification – I’m referring to the CSN post-game. Which is actually pretty lame in general.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Yeah, either the playoffs or the season needs to be shorter. It should be done by mid-May.
Go Wings.
