He said the other day he was a terrible hitter and afraid of the ball in Little League, so he could definitely hit in the middle of this lineup.

So when is the Rowand – leadoff hitter experiment going to end?
If you don’t want to play Ishi against a lefty, whatever. Then put Sandoval at 1st and DH somebody else.
Edgar Renteria hitting fifth might just be the most bizarre thing I have EVER seen in baseball. And that includes Randy Johnson fastballing a bird.

eww. Every time I see Aurilia in the lineup, I want to throw something. Renteria batting 5th, what the shit is that?
that said, whenever the giants throw out these weird lineups, they score 4+ runs, go figure.

No Lewis, No Ishi?
Wtf? Bochy, if Aurillia stays in the game against RHP, why the hell wouldn’t you let those guys hit against Lefties? This obsession with Torres (a 31 year old journeyman) is borderline ridiculous. Lewis is the better choice.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
however, winn finally gets a day off. I only wish renteria could sit for a day

Both him and Holm are terrible. I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing back Molina for one season ONLY because I don’t think the Giants want Posey up until 2011.
I prefer Holm. Anecdotally, Holm just looks a lot better when I’ve seen him play. He also has a minor league OBP 50 points higher than Whiteside’s, though.

K. Suzuki, C
J. Cust, RF
M. Holliday, LF
J. Giambi, DH
O. Cabrera, SS
B. Crosby, 1B
R. Davis, CF
J. Hannahan, 3B
It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.
Clearly, Bobby Crosby is such a great hitter that you HAVE to get him in the lineup, even though that means Jack Cust playing defense.

Oh Nate
that was Custian
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
I think next game, we should get this out of the way early

Johnson is looking awful here

And pretty flat, too

OT: Blue Mountain Dew is delicious.
A bit sweet, but most blue flavored food is. I would purchase it again.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
I really like it. It has a good flavor, and it delivers necessary caffeine.

I’ve developed an unhealthy love for iced coffee in the warm summer months for my afternoon caffeine fix.
But this was a nice change of pace.
Next time I’ll try it over ice instead of straight out of the bottle, and see if that makes my gums less sticky when I’m done.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Yeah, I was trying to find a better way to phrase that. There is no better way.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

Iced coffee is so good. I like a little whipped cream on top.

A's BP
Johnson is trying to figure out this bizarre strike zone. It’ll get settled.
Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!

I was behind a lady on the freeway yesterday and I read her license plate: CUTNDRY. I thought it said CUNTDRY at first.

That second thing may apply to a post-menopausal woman, I suppose. Maybe she’s having fun with the DMV.

I dunno. ILOVETOFU can be a little suspect.
