GAMEBALL and JOKE 06/17 ANGELS at GIANTS

GODDAMN IT……FREAKING ANGELS come into town and whip our asses so hard……I felt like I was married to Tawny Kitaen……

An ugly day for sure…..so lets go to the Fangraphs
to see how bad it really was…..

Wait, not sorry…..wrong chart…..that's something called General Motors…….


Ahhh there we are, that’s better…..
Winners
Ishikawa +.095
Aurilia +.053
Romo +0.41

Losers
Tim -.180
Molina -.124
Rowand -.124

Wow…..what a fucked up game…..2 run lead coming off a Home Run from Ishikawa and Tim on the hill, the Giants cough it up…….no, not coughed……they choked on it like Mama Cass on a Ham Sandwich…….and like Mama Cass and GM, "at the end of the day" all that was left was a cold dead shell……

GAMEBALL

DOWNS

OK, Brian….urrr….Kevin…..urrr….Matt….Matt right? OK, two hits and we can now put a Giants cap on your head…..Patient approach, stays within himself and uses the whole field…..not much power to speak of……not much speed……average defense……but the ability to make contact and make the pitcher work……So good job Mr Downs….and I will cut you a little slack…..that was Bang Bang at the plate, and you don't know where the ball is…..sure if you went in "Nate Style" you woulda scored…..but I'm pretty sure Flannery doesn't have a sign for "BLOW HIS ASS UP"…..and nice try on that line shot double deflected down the line…..that woulda been one hell of a play……so welcome to the big leagues…..and COUGH COUGH burriss woulda had that COUGH COUGH…….hey….anybody got a lozenge?

TIP OF THE CAP :
A's
FINALLY!!! Someone beats those fucking Dodgers

ISHIKAWA
Nice…..Travis makes an impression in return to the lineup with a deep double to right center and a line shot down the line…..for his 2nd dinger of the year…..this is the kind of game that can keep a kid in the lineup……ask Nate…….and most importantly to me…..No Strikeouts…..if he's not whiffing, you know he's moving in the right direction….

BOCHY
FINALLY, moving Panda back to 3rd was the right move……keeping Nate in the lineup was the right move….now I hear that Sanchez might be removed or skipped…….and honestly, when he pulled Nate for Aurilia….Rich was like hitting .345 with 4 HR in 29 AB v Oliver…..and Rowand had been the hot hand…..maybe not how I would want it played…..but I can't smack him for that…..

RENT

Wow..thats a tough one……really a team loss…….but lets take this opportunity to trash on Renteria……Now I can understand wanting an offensive shortstop on a team weak at other positions……unfortunately Renteria has been the wrong kind of offensive (ok, stop groaning at the bad pun, you get what you pay for)……offering very little in the way of the bat……and WAY too little by way of the glove……a dribbler up the middle and a grounder in the hole……either would have been a good play, but after watching Omar a couple of years…..we got accustom to at least "good"……..the lack of range is ugly……but not nearly as ugly as his exchange and set up to throw and even his feel for the position……that force out at 2nd might have been a DP…..but he wasn't setup for a throw..he had the ball in his mitt in 2.9 Seconds and could easily side step the runner……hell that would give him 1 full second to get Aybar who runs about 4.2 .…..So what kinda of shortstop do we have???? Slow thinking slow footed slow exchange……hell I am beginning to wonder if he could even handle 3rd….

SMACK OF THE STICK :
MOLINA
Bat was cold with a big 0 for vs the 30 year old rookie…..and a passed ball that lead to the winning run…..maybe there is something to the day game after night game thing

ROWAND
Oooooo……ugly…..in the most pivotal at bat of the game, Rowand went fishing for slop off the plate……looks like the hot streak is over…..quick trade him while his numbers still look decent!!!

PANDA
Sorry Kid….0 for….and called out for your double clutch/ fumble by the only player more popular than you…..

NATE
Kid….I love ya…..but an 0 for with 2 K's makes me think I might see Lewis soon…..KEEP HITTING……PLEASE

TIM
Dude….I can understand your frustration, but keep it in the family……but even worse……what THE HELL IS THAT on your LIP???? You are lucky you are famous and semi-rich, other wise you would never get laid with a look like that…….I swear my 87 year old neighbor has a better mustache……she is one sweet lady…….just don't stare……
I just guess we can all be thankful you aren't hanging out with Affeldt…..


PS Yes, I know……..she didn't really die choking on a Ham Sandwich…..…I mean, that's just silly……..who chokes on a Ham Sandwich..it's just an urban legend……....she choked while eating the whole pig……
