GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> GIANTS at REDS 06/10





GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> GIANTS at REDS 06/10

GAMEBALL

HUFF

Huff hasn't been given enough love by me here…..so time to give him his due of course we all know that I have been saying all along that Huff would be not only a power threat but a solid .300 hitter with a OBP nearing .400 and play solid D all over the field but seriously, did anyone think he could play a solid Left, solid 1st and be the Giants Walk and (qualified) Batting Average leader this far into he season?? This guy is all kinds of ballplayer and could end the year with the Giants best offensive numbers…..throw that in with LaRoche's reluctance to come to SF and Huff's I will play anywhere you put me attitude, I think we actually got the best outcome from what looked like an offseason debacle….and don't be surprised if you see the Burrell Torres Huff Outfield alignment at home….sure it might not be our best defensive outfield alignment…..but I won't be surprised if Huff actually does a solid job in right as well…..

TIP OF THE CAP :
ROWAND?
HBP…..HR……leads to more playing time perhaps?? No, I think it means he plays better as a backup ;)

URIBE
3 walks….1 hit….1 out…..can patience be learned?

CASILLA
Our new setup man?

TORRES
Plays all three positions and pitched in another 2 walks a hit and a sac bunt that lead to a run

POSEY
The Giants announced the new address of the park….28 Posey Avenue….now where are they going to plant those extra 4 palm trees…..

JOKER

MOTA

First of all, can someone PLEASE update the pic on his MLB player page
Mota's been having a hell of a year, but today in the setup role it all fell apart….gave up some hard hit balls to begin the inning before settling down with the go ahead run on 3rd and no outs……got a quick liner to short for the first out and on a little bouncing comebacker that would have held the runner at 3rd……well….Mota whiffed……not sure what happened there….a little twitch, double clutch, and a whiff…..he looked like Micheal J Fox trying to field grounders…..and that certainly makes him the JOKER

SMACK OF THE STICK :
BAUTISTA
Well, in relief of Wellemeyer, he did his best impression of Todd…..I know one pitcher that won't be taking that rotation spot anytime soon

PABLO
When he is hitting bombs, making ridiculous baserunning plays and spraying line drives….when he is hitting like a sissy, and missing signs….well…..he is just a fatass……all offseason we talked about his weight when Pablo would rather talk about hitting….well, right about now, Pablo would probably prefer to talk about his weight…..man, tough being a big leaguer…get 2 hits and they are still on your ass……

WELLEMEYER
With friends and family in attendance, the pressure was on…..Todd took the easy way out and got hurt instead of getting spanked……

LEAKE
Lost in the frustration of the loss,…a Giants offense that actually just handed Phenom Leake with his worst major league start so far…..too bad they couldn't hang that first L on him too

(The fine print: There will be cussing and bad taste. This is written with the heat of the moment feel you may have during the game, with rational thought sprinkled in now and then. This is entertainment folks, sure there is a lot of truth and I am a genius, but this is all about having a laugh and enjoying the ride…….now lets go heckle Jeff Kent in when he gets inducted to Cooperstown..)
