I don’t get the channel on Directv. I just wanted to say that I’m very jealous that my non-baseball-fan husband is sitting in VIP seating with a group from work.

It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

It seems like it might be hard to pick up the ball coming out of the white (technically light gray) expanse of catcher’s gear.

Stockton and High Desert are locked in a 6-6 tie…in the 19th inning. I guess their game was suspended last night and they’re continuing it tonight. 19 innings!

Bottom 20

“Christian Vitters singles on a line drive to right fielder Carlos Peguero. Raul Padron out at home on the throw, right fielder Carlos Peguero to catcher Fleming Baez.”

Stockton – so close.

28-25 - Giants Series Record: 11-5-2, 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!

Sincere

Big V can walk all he wants be if he is not driving in runs he will be ok at best. If he is not walking but raking the ribbies he can be a star

by wilriv21 on Jun 5, 2009 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

his walk rate right now is under 4%

unless he learns to walk more, I think you can forget about him driving in any runs.

how is he doing for San Jose? Bet he has driven in a couple of runs

Still tied up? My non-gamer husband just got home – he didn’t stick it out.

But he did win a United Toilet Rental seat cushion for throwing a roll of toilet paper into a porta-a-potty in the bottom of the 8th. Anybody catch that?

Somehow a seat cushion with the word “Toilet” on it doesn’t seem appealing, even if they kinda made it look like a baseball and stuff.
