5/8 GIANTS at DODGERS

GAMEBALL

ZITO

Holy freaking shit……the improbable…..the unfeasible….. by no means does this happen……The lazy has been pitcher, weighed down by a ridiculously long and expensive contract suddenly finds the talent he once had and not only earns the respect of the fan base, but perhaps also reemerges as one of the game's elite…..
And wow…..looking at the box score alone, you don't see what Zito did tonight…..sure the Dodgers are without Manny, but they were leading the National League in runs scored and you can't tell me that was all about Manny…..and Mr I Love LA Carved up the Dodger lineup with slow curves and 88 MPH fastballs on the black…….
Hitter after hitter had foolish swings, and you could read the determination on Barry's face…….Good job Jackass….

BTW
Ave FB 87.3 MPH Max FB 89.2 MPH

TIP OF THE CAP :
WILSON
TWEETER BROTHER Brian made good this time with the lead in LA……bailing Merkin out of a jam with an Epic 13 pitch AB….and then nailing down the win with a dominating 9th

URIBE
Looks solid at 3rd…..started 2 DP's and collected 2 hits…..

ROWAND
Hey…..Fly out foul ball got the first run of the game

RENTERIA
Broke the 1-1 tie with a deep fly out

SANDOVAL
Zito's caddy and an run scoring infield hit

BOCHY
Leaving Zito in to face Loretta paid off with a W for the Giants and for Zito.


JOKER

MANNYWOOD

MANNYWOOD????
Are you fucking kidding me????
Now I try not to go to Los Angeles, and I honestly haven't paid much attention to Dodger marketing until now……
Good god the Marketing Geniuses who planned a ad campaign revolving around Manny and a Bonds Squad style Mannywood section in Left are kicking themselves right now…
Mannywood……good god, what the fuck is that?
Pico Ramirez didn't have that star quality????
Manny Cucamonga didn't have the same ring to it???
Rancho Manny Verdes wouldn't fit on a shirt????
Well it don't really matter now…..take the Wigs and the Shirts and put em on the clearance aisle, cause even when Manny comes back the only people willing to buy them are the gang bangers in the Left Field Pavillion who are familiar with Enhancement with Controlled Substances…..

SMACK OF THE STICK :
DODGER FANS
Got a big head on the hot streak…..but that streak was built upon a hot offense, and the arms of Billingsley and Broxton……well, looks like the offense got cooled down and Billingsley is still good, but beatable……
The soft underbelly is now showing…..a thin rotation, and a thin relief staff……now if only the pathetic Giants offense can take advantage….
