GAMEBALL and JOKE
06/09 GIANTS at DBACKS

GAMEBALL

PANDA

That Arizona air feels good, is it the thin air, the altitude, the proximity to Scottsdale Stadium???? Well whatever it is, he loves it….
In between dinking and doinking 3 panda hits, he turned on a Fastball high and in and CRUSHED it into the right field seats for the go ahead game turning hit…..
That brings Panda's line in the desert to ave .500 obp .500 slg.750 slg with 2 HR's and 8 RBI in 34 Plate Appearances….Love the AVE OBP SLG..line….nice and neat

TIP OF THE CAP :
URIBE
That "infamous" 20 HR power that has kept him in the big leagues showed up tonight with a solo shot to give the Giants an early lead……the way this offense has sucked, that first run is always the hardest…..and that was big and helped the offense relax……

RENTERIA. ROWAND WINN
See, that’s what a real 2, 3, 4 in a lineup should be doing….and Happy 35th Randy……shhhhh….don't let Sabean hear how old you are

WHITEHEAD
Looked solid behind the dish…..and nice laser shot off the wall……does anyone miss Steve Holm?
And for those who think is name is Whiteside….please click here

FRANDSEN
I will agree with Krukow, with the bad luck outs this kid has made, that shoulda been a 2nd hit……was getting ready to smack him for that wanna be double, but that 2nd hit and a nice play up the middle moved him over here……and come on, Chris Young made an easy throw for an out, if it was Velez everyone would be out for blood……lets just hope that got it out of Frandsen's system….stick to the basics until you get comfortable, no need to go all Pete Rose on us now……

CAIN
Hey, a little shakey, but screw the haters……he deserves any support he gets after all the shit he has put up with…..VOTE CAIN FOR ALL STAR GAME……what do you mean, we can't vote for pitchers??? What the fuck kinda stupid rule is THAT……

WHEELER
Welcome to the org…..now go to the mirror and practice……and if you haven't seen Bull Durham….get the DVD and let Crash help you with your interview skills

EVERYBODY WHO VISITS
So far 2nd biggest visit day on this site with over 1200 unique vistors with over 1 hour left could end up being the biggest…….draft day 2008……1,453 unique vistors

JOKER

LEWIS

Bunion boy took the collar in ugly fashion, pouting when left out of the party……I can't raise too much bile after a win like tonight, and hey…..Yeah, he should be happy with the win, but if you are sucking its hard to hold that poker face……The Talent is there…..just concentrate on what you are good at, stay back and take the ball the other way……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
DBACKS PITCHING
What the fuck????
Bill Buckner?
Clay "Rollie" Zavada?
Is this 1984?
Its like I stepped into a Red Sox v Brewers game

DBACKS DEFENSE
Wow…so THAT'S how a team with so much talent can suck so bad…..this ain't soccer kids, you are allowed to grab and hold onto the ball once in awhile…..

GIANTS BASERUNNING
Ouch…..Franny got gunned, and if it wasn't for the aforementioned Dbacks Lack of D, we would have lost a run at home and at 2nd…..not good when you are a struggling offense……

WILDCARD
You tease…….bastard……Does that mean Alderson and Noonan for DeRosa????


I don't want to end on a negative on a day like today
Good win, got some more talent in the system, got a good chance at finishing above .500…..and maybe not this year, but very very soon the Giants will be BACK in the playoffs……and maybe even win the……well…..lets not go there yet…….
