GAMEBALL
TIM
Despite struggling with his control during the early innings, and giving up lead off runners in the first 4, Timmy was able to nut up at the critical moments and twirl a 7 inning gem….Gotta think the moisture humidity was screwing with the mound, his grip, or maybe just his mind, but no matter what it was Tim showed poise and the ability to adjust and get outs with whatever is working…..so sign him up LONG TERM NOW…..even if he loses some edge on that nasty stuff……this kid will be pitching for a long long time….
PS…..the kid can hit too!
TIP OF THE CAP :
ROWAND
Man, this run reminds me of Randy Winn circa September 2005
17 games and counting, and that’s 10 multihit games, 13 extrabase hits, 12 Runs, and 11 RBI's…….just crazy…..add to that scorching bat a solid glove in center…..if he wasn't such a douchebag I might actually start to like him…..for now, I will just appreciate him
WILSON
Speaking of douches…..what you gonna do…..he keeps making it interesting and keeps getting the save……..god, I hope he gets better soon……and at the very least, he makes the rest of the team look less douchy by comparision……
MOLINA
Nice to have you back in the offense……and not to mention some nice glove work on the Bonifacio bunt, and knocking down those curves in the dirt……
SANDOVAL
The ugliest 2 hit day you can have…..slapping a one hander down the line, and chopping one off the pitcher…..hey, you take what you can get……
ROMO
Nice to have the sidearmer back, and loved that K of Hanley…….beautiful…overpower them with slop baby!
FRED
BAD ASS SLIDE………nuff said……
JOKER
BASERUNNING
Does looking at that base standing on end make you feel a little sick?
Well, that's what watching Giants baserunning did to me.....Wow, what a weird fucking game…..
The baseball gods are toying with us…..more than our share of doink hits, but just when you thought things were breaking your way, the Giants lose 3 runners on the basepaths, and if it wasn't for a stubborn Uribe not breaking home and a nifty slide from Fred, we would have lost 4 runners at the plate…….
SMACK OF THE STICK :
PADRES
Good grief……an 18th inning game is ugly for sure…..but the Pads took ugly to a new level…..
After scoring 5 runs in the 9th, including a 2 out 3 run shot from Eckstein…..the Padres proceeded to be NO-HIT for the next 9 innings, only to lose the game when they brought in their utility man to pitch in the 18th……9 pitchers + 1 infielder as pitcher was used……the only pitchers not used…..Corriea, who pitched yesterday, Peavy who pitches tomorrow, and Chris Young fresh off injury…….
COGHLAN
Good god, right when it looked like we might actually win this sloppy game, the rookie with 1 career homer and slugging .293 comes through with a 2 run bomb…..Not Uggla, Not Hanley, Not Cantu, Not even Hermida……freaking LEADOFF MAN COGHLAN…….man, looking at his numbers, you would think he was a Giants 1stbaseman…..
