My wife and kids are going to visit her family in Connecticut this coming week. I’m stuck here with work. I figured I could take the chance to go to a game – but the Giants are out of town the whole time they’re gone. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Defenders are playing in Norwich every day they’re in Connecticut. Sigh.

At this rate Cain will be out of the game by the 6th, and Hammel will just be getting warmed up.
There is some unwritten law that says that this particular Giants team will not sweep anybody under any circumstances, but especially if it s a critical series like this. This law even overrides Cain’s obvious desire to get his 13th win. This is the worst hacking that I have seen all year out of this team.

Wasn’t his fault last night.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
I know. That’s why he should have known better.

Is it wrong to ask why Matt Cain is still in this game?

JT is suggesting on the radio that Rockies hitters have a plan when they come up to the plate, to drive the ball in the air since it’s carrying.
What is this “plan” of which he speaks? Are hitters allowed to have one? Is that permitted in the rule book?

Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

GIANTS PRESENT FROWN
"I never watched baseball on TV. It's slow and boring. I'm not a fan. Never was." - Jeff Kent
yes. However, the ball was really carrying out, which didn’t help.
71-59 - Giants Series Record: 23-13-5, 17-4 at home
Adopted Giant: Daryl "Dealio" Maday - Not reassigned after all. Still a mediocre AA pitcher.
Didn’t help the Giants hitters, that’s for damn sure.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
I don't think it helped that his offense went up to the plate hacking
and only let him rest for about 30 seconds between innings
Cali just won the LLWS. Yay?
