5/12 NATS at GIANTS
GAMEBALL
PANDA
Proving that late inning offensive heroics aren’t the sole domain of Bengie, one strike away from a emotional loss, Pablo crushed a fastball deep into the left field seats to turn fortune on its head……after an embarrassing would be Triple turned embarrassing out…..Pablo had the most energizing hit of the Giants season giving Giants fans a Bondsesqe ending to a back and forth game…..
What can you say……the love for the Panda only grows in San Francisco……
TIP OF THE CAP :
MOLINA
Molina's solo shot in the 8th made it a 1 run game……foreshadowing Little Money's shot in the 9th…..oh yeah……Bengie also had his 1st walk….and scored from 1st on a double…..
ISHIKAWA
Added 2 more hits to his hot streak….and 1 more K…….
WINN
Key 2 run double and solid D, this time in left
BURRISS/ RENTERIA
Set the table for the Panda…..
FRANK
Our resident Wonderdog loves the taste of Nationals pitching
JOKER
HUMAN TORCH
Baseball is littered with relievers who seem to excel in a setup role only to melt once put under the pressure of the closer role…..well….Howry has taken that problem one step further and seems to melt if ANY situation with even the mildest pressure…….After an encouraging 3 outings including an improbable 2 scoreless versus the Dodgers…..the Howry that Giants fans have quickly learn to hate is back……..nursing a 1 run lead in the 8th, Howry got a strike out, and then allowed a walk, a LOUD fly out and back to back singles to get yanked…..but not before losing the lead……So lets hope Bochy has learned his lesson, cause few more high profile failures like this one, and the name Howry will be held with the same reverence as Walker, Hawkins, and Herges…….
SMACK OF THE STICK :
SCHIERHOLTZ
Although Fred Lewis' name was off the lineup card, Nate carried the sprit of Fred out with him to the field…..Getting crossed up on a line drive hit just to his left for a single, mis-judging a deep fly at the wall for a double, taking 3 straight fastballs for a strikeout and having your bat explode on your other 2 at bats……not a way to impress the management…….
MANNY ACTA
Frank Robinson is rolling in his grave…..
Hanarhan….was pretty nasty yesterday…..I don't care if he blew two saves…..he's 100x better than Wells and Beimel…….just hope you don't figure that out before the Giants are done spanking your team this year……
