GAMEBALL
ROWAND
What can you say, this is one streaky mutherfucker…..
After moving to the leadoff spot he has an 11 game hitting streak with 7 multihit games……while hitting .404 with 3 homers 10 runs and 8 RBIS…..yes 8 RBIS in 11 Games leading off…….
His batting average has gone from .246 to .294, and after a horrid start to May, once again has his batting line near what we would normally expect considering his historical averages…….Will he keep it up? Probably not, but its nice to think he might actually beat that .265-.275 with 10-15 HR line….when just a few weeks ago it didn't look like he would even get to THAT level……
By the way, everytime I look at this guy…..I think he's a pair of sideburns and a coke spoon necklace in the shape of a cross away from being in this movie….
TIP OF THE CAP :
URIBE
Hot with the stick to be sure…..say hello to your new starting 3rd baseman……lets just hope when he cools off to that ..238 hitter with sub .300 OBP, that Ishikawa will get another chance……hell a line like that would get Ishikawa DFA'ed……too bad he wasn't a proven veteran…….well anyway….in the meantime I will take the hot stick…….(insert Beavis Laugh)….hot stick…..sounds like Zito and Wilson pretending they have Unicorn horns…….
WINN
Unsung, underappreciated, overpaid…..two out or three ain't bad…..
JOKER
BULLPEN
What the FUCK was THAT……
After Wilson's blown save in San Diego, the bullpen has proceeded to go 25 innings of 1.44 ERA baseball with 19 K's and a WHIP of 1.08…but that bullpen was providing to relief tonight……from Affeldt's bouncing 59 foot curves to Molina, to Howry and Merkin giving it up like a drunk teenager in a motel on prom night……except this time the bullpen lost more than their cherries…..they lost the Win for the 500 K Phenom, and started the longest road trip of the year on a sour note……Good job jackasses…..hope you got that our of your system…..And Howry…..Misch called, he said Cutco is hiring Salespeople..….on second thought….maybe that’s not the job for you….you see Salespeople actually HAVE to PERFORM…….
SMACK OF THE STICK :
GLOVES
As much as the Giants have relied on their bullpen, they have also counted on the leather….And tonight a couple miscues set the stage for a close game……first on Uribe's misplay down the line and the Renteria's airmail relay to 1st……sure Uribe had a hot night with the stick and made a fabulous play with the glove…..but you NEED to make the routine plays too…….dumbasses…..
MOLINA
A trooper for sure behind the plate, but that 0 for 5 in the cleanup spot really stands out when the rest of the lineup has their hitting shoes on…..the Giants coulda have delivered a knock out blow a few times…..and that 0 for 5? it included a 0 for 4 with Runners in scoring position……
