Lincecum!
Ortiz!
No television!
I predict that the Giants will score fewer than 13 runs. And is it bad that I'd rather they save their 13-runs-in-three-innings explosion for a game in which they're down 12 after six? Now that would be a game. (Kidding...last night was most welcome.)

So Tim Howard has Tourette’s. I just learned a little ditty about it:
Tim timiny, tim timiny
Tim tim teroo
We’ve got Tim Howard
And he says fuck you!

Hm, never knew that.
Stupid ESPN, not covering today’s game, or the next one.

there's another version of that
that starts of to the tune of ‘London Bridge is Falling Down.’
it goes
Timmy Howard’s got Tourettes, got Tourettes, got Tourettes

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
So I woke up this morning and felt OK about trying to acquire Hairston Jr.

Thanks to the three games in the past week with a 30-0 run differential, the Giants are now UNDERPERFORMING their Pythagorean record by one game.

God Bless America
lol listening to god bless america simultaneously on radio (giants) and dodgers (on stupid fox)
I remember when Russ Ortiz had a 3.36 ERA for the Giants, was their number one starter, and I was used to people like John Burkett or Bill Swift being the number one pitcher, and thought that was really good! TImes certainly change.
Giants 21 Astros 0: is there a skunk rule so we can have a sweep of the series now and start the next series?
Save some runs for Cain
Don’t save em, but score some runs for the cainmeister. Russ Ortiz an excellent 4 inning pitcher. He could go 4, and Sanchez 4, and then bring on MERKIN. Matt Herges today, and Jack Taschner yesterday, designated for assignment. Let some of the young pitchers mature, look at what former giant reliever, and now closer for seattle is doing! Let some of these kids mature as pitchers, they will be good. Lefties often, ala Sanchez take a little longer. Lefties that mature early like Zito, seems to have gone backwards.
