nothing against the guy
but what was wrong with Steve Holm? I rather liked him as the backup backup catcher behind molina and sandoval.

Did I just see Torres hitting 3rd??
Bill Mueller? I expect at least A-Rod type numbers from my son, Conor Gillaspie
and in left!!
because, you know, Aaron Rowand, he’s a gold glove defender. He must be better in CF. It has nothing to do with possibly bruising egos, nope…

1-0
judging by the giants lineup, i’d say that qualifies as an insurmountable lead. but hey, 300!

understatement
the Giants pitching staff is WAY BETTER than the Nats pitching staff
we will score at least 3 runs this game, probably more facing Nationals pitchers

I know it's minor but...
…why is Whiteside batting ahead of Schierholtz?

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Which is less enjoyable...

It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. And the typo in the disclaimer makes me freakin’ nuts. It should be “its”, as in a possessive, and not “it’s” as in a contraction. This tells me that (a) the lawyer is stoopid and (b) does not pay attention to details.

I had to get the door. Our apt. manager just stopped by with the cheery news that the pump for the hot water heater is kaput and we won’t have any hot water till sometime tomorrow afternoon. Oh yippee skippees.

So fast he can score on a popup to deep short!

Not a major league talent. Each game he plays convinces me more.

if he played more regularly he wouldn’t be so rusty looking.

True, but...
All he has to do is call for the ball. He has to do that, rusty or not.

Rowand could have caught it to. As the CF, he’s got to take command out there.

Why pitch to Anderson here?
Why not walk him and go after Detwiler and Guzman (hopefully with 2 outs)?

Cain's velocity down?
He’s at around 91, on gameday.

Watching gameday here, so help me out..
How did the Nats not score on two flyballs? Very shallow ones?

looks like it
choose "home outs" under field controls.
I would have at least bluffed on the ball to Rowand. There’s always a chance he launches it into the stands.
