Checking in while at work...
The play-by-play said that Panda struck out bunting foul with two outs and runners in scoring position. Is that correct?!

Whew
Thanks, what really happened in the inning?
Proud member of the Adopt-a-Giant program (Aaron Rowand)
Ah, thanks
I mean, it’s not like that’s good, but my baseball crush on Panda was going to take a pretty severe beating if he struck out bunting foul in that (or any) situation.

Rockies up 2-0
I think we get swept in Colorado
So wee should sell Molinia & Winn?
That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.

Winn has value. Maybe not huge, but the Braves and the Red Sox would want him. Mets too.
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:18 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t doubt that he does, but I’m not confident that other teams see any value in him.

He’s good, not great, offensively and defensively, and he has a good contract. I’m betting that even teams that are looking for Veteran Savvy will want him
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Winn is a plus-plus defender in the OF
there is a ton of value in that.
He’s not a plus-plus CFer – adequate, but not great. You’re right – as a RFer he’s excellent.

Romo
Well, that ought to quell as the “WILSON SUX!!! ROMO SHOULD CLOSE!” posts around here for a while.
Giants win the pennant ... in 2012!!
If Wilson pitched like Romo everybody would be calling for his head.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
Yeah ...
I don’t get all the anti-Wilson sentiment around here.
(Maybe it’s just an anti-closer sentiment because we all know anyone can pitch the 9th.)
Giants win the pennant ... in 2012!!
There’s bad, and then there’s really bad. He’s either really unlucky or hurt, and he didn’t look that bad. Even bad relievers don’t give up that many runs.

2nd most hated team
For years, TBS games were the only time I got to see the Giants play. So many losses

Is this what happens when you throw a reliever out there for the first time in forever?

What the hell is with Romo now?
This is extreme regression here.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
It must either be horrible luck or an injury, and he didn’t look that bad. Diaz had a great AB.

and it’s not that Whiteside is magically good. Bengie does suck at calling a game AMIRITE?
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:24 PM PDT up reply actions
That’s exactly right. I think my ex-HS teammate could call games better than that. Probably put up a better OBP too.
Didn’t Romo tweak his ankle yesterday?

He might get injured – I like this plan

He should do it. He’d have to do with the bases empty, but he should do it. Windup, then just not throw.

So we're definitely losing our WC spot tonight
it was fun while it lasted
good thing is now the giants’ batters will still have enough left in them to put up a fight…… right? lol

I would really like to see him replaced with somebody better
that might be a good spot to upgrade through trade if we go that route
the entire giants’ outfield sucks. i like winn for his defense and he went to santa clara but his hitting is pathetic.
No one here gets out alive.
Well they do already have Bowker, but then I suppose 1B needs an upgrade
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions
there has to be something severely wrong with the giants organization, theres no way a reasonable team drafts this many hackers and can’t fix a single one
What about Bowker?
He made a radical change this year, and now he only has 23 PA at the major league level and a .182 BABIP. Give him more than 4 games
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions
I like Bowker
I’d rather not see us waste ABs on Schierholtz, who has very little upside. Bowker should be starting everyday.
i completely agree. i am done with schierholtz if he refuses to take a pitch.
No one here gets out alive.
His walk rate was atrocious in the minors
This shouldn’t shock anybody
Hey, I’ve been ripping Schierholtz for a long time.

Of course, he never plays and gets put in cold in the 8th inning…. maybe he shouldn’t start, but that’s not why

that puts winn in center and bowker and flew in the outfield. kind of dangerous defensively.
No one here gets out alive.
Bowker’s fine in LF. He’s not the second coming of Carl Crawford, but he is by no means terrible
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions
It’s no fun listening to the other broadcast when you’re losing and they keep showing replays of your team getting its brains beaten in.
Actually Kruk and Kuip are doing a great job keeping me watching this…nevermind. Broadcast is now shut off.

when was the last time we hit a homerun?
by sadison bummedgarner on Jul 20, 2009 6:43 PM PDT reply actions
Rowands injury means Frandsen gets sent down instead of Bowker.
Frandsen = no luck at all
The King Of Bling
Why? Even if Rowand goes on the DL we have Bowker, Winn, Schierholtz, Lewis, and Torres. No need for more OFers
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 20, 2009 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Frandsen= Just not very good
Congratulations and Thank you Jonathan Sanchez.

If Panda is in next year’s HR derby, do you think he can bring Howry along to pitch to him?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Just checking in now...
Drove from Southern Cal to Colorado the past couple days. Will be here for the next week and a half. Going to the Sunday Rox-Giants game (last game of road trip—I think Sadowski is scheduled to go).
Did Rowand get injured? What happened?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Hurt his arm Errant Throwin’. Really.

Or ribcage – not sure what’s hurt but it was from the throw

aahhhh
I missed that – didn’t turn on the game until the second batter, and I didn’t know where Rowand got hit.

so I hope he gets a hang nail that forces us to put him on the 60 day DL
