GAMEBALL

DOWNS

Welcome to the show Mr Downs…..You are walking in the shoes of such greats as Burriss, Dallimore, Castillo, Velez, Ochoa, Frandsen, Rohlinger, Denker, Vizcaino, De La Rosa, Chavez, Ransom, Perez, and Cruz who have all graced the keystone position since Kent left the "stupid" bay area for greener pastures……..so good job working your way through the minors and making it to the big leagues against long odds……Just do me one favor…..if that list of players teaches you one thing…well, yes….Ray Durham is looking pretty good……but the REAL Lesson..save your meal money…….

PS…Alfonzo??? Shit I had almost forgotten they had him at 2nd a few games…..
PSS Yes, Fresno hat….so what…..I mean why bother…..he'll be back in Fresno soon enough…..

TIP OF THE CAP :
TIM
What can you do when your team goes in the crapper early in the game???? Well, you keep root root rooting, while trying to imagine its tomorrow already and Tim is on the mound

FARM
Well, ok….besides Tim…..you can take a peek at the farm and see what's up…….
Bowker and Franny with HR's in AAA
Alderson 7 IP 2H 0R 2BB 5 K, for the W and a 1.82 ERA in AA
Broshius 7 IP 3H 0R 1BB 4 K, for the W and a 2.49 ERA in A+
Posey 2 for 4, Neal 3 for 5, and Kieschnick with his 10th HR in A+

JOKER

SANCHEZ

So what was I doing when Sanchez was getting the snot kicked out of him AGAIN????
Well besides dreaming of Tim and the Farm….I did a little light reading……
Wikipedia Baseball Transactions I will paraphrase here….."blah blah blah….3 option years….. blah blah blah…. 40 man roster ….blah blah blah ….20 days in minors ….blah blah blah…. send a sucky player to the minors …blah blah blah… 5 years service……." And after reading that, I just happened to go through the Giants transaction log and Sanchez service history……no reason really, just random…….well, as it so happens looks like Sanchez burned option years in 2006 and 2007…but not in 2008…..and he doesn't have enough service time to refuse an assignment……..long story short…..Sanchez better pick up a Fresno Bee and start looking for an apartment……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
PABLO
Can sure swing it with a stick……buit the Kung Fu Panda looks like a retarded Harp Seal playing first…..with a pair of bumbles helped blow Sanchez's mind…….get that arm better quick….and move you ass back to third….he has the athleticism to react and throw…..but 1st base is more of a craft than pure ability……too much going on, too many options……and he just ain't cutting it……Ishikawa is light years better…..but what do you expect,….Ishi is a professional 1st sacker…..Pablo….1st base hasn't been his primary position since 2006……


BATS
Good god…..so who is this hot shot pitcher the Angels brought up…..another KRod or Lackey fresh from the minors to kick our ass????
Sean O'Sullivan….2009
AAA 5-2 6.02
AA 1-2 5.30
Hell, makes me think we should bring up Bumgarner and Alderson tomorrow….of course, they wouldn't get to pitch AGAINST the Giants….thats about 0.50 ERA points right there……

SABES
Franny, Burriss, Ishi, Downs, Holm, Whitehead, Misch Shuffle……..you couldn't have done it worse if you had planned it that way

A's
Lose in a walkoff to the Doggies….thanks a lot, jackasses…….

I know I am forgetting something……but screw it, you can figure it out yourselves……
