Merkin of GIANTSBOARD.COM: GAMEBALL and JOKE 07/03 ASTROS at GIANTS

OOooooOOOooooooo YEAH…………..Home cooking was tasting mighty good tonight my friends and the Giants were feasting early and often.....The Giants were not only hitting the snot out of the ball, they also seemed to get every bloops and break and call as sort of a karmic justice for everything that went wrong the last two days in St Louis……And everything was working……defense was solid, offense was mashing, and the out of nowhere Sadowski was dealing…….what a great turnaround from the end of the road trip and a great way to start off this big homestand……

And hell, just for shits and giggles, lets look at the Fangraphs thing
Clicking graph sends you to Fangraphs…..

Holy shit……so basically after the score hit 9-0, the win probability hit 99%.......

GAMEBALL and JOKE
07/03 ASTROS at GIANTS

GAMEBALL

SADOWSKI

Wow….don't know what to say…..this kid remains perfect with no runs allowed……and so far he is getting insane support from the offense…..in 13 major league innings, the Giants have score 18 runs while he is in the game, and 20 runs in the two games he has started,,,,,,talk about your low pressure situations…….but despite the heavy support you really have to hand it to this kid as it would easy to lose focus ….but Sadowski has remained focused and kept the opposition off the board completely…….oh yeah, if you were watching on NBC….that speed gun was HOT about 3MPH or so……so Ryan may walk on water, but he doesn’t throw 94…….

TIP OF THE CAP :

24 OTHER GIANTS
You know what, its fucking Xmas in July, everybody on the roster and even a few who are not get a tip of the Cap….so from Lewis and Wilson….to Panda and Nate……from Howry and Aurilia…….to Cain and Timmy……the Giants game was one big freaking party and I feel nothing but love for everything Orange and Black….here is a to a great second half, and who needs a Right Handed bat when you put 13 up on the board…..

SANDOVAL
Gets a special shout out as he got the ball rolling with a MONSTER shot to triples alley for a Dinger

NATE/ RENT
3 hits each kept the Astros on their heels

SANCHEZ
Looks pretty comfortable in the pen….if he keeps this up, keep him there…..we can use another leftie who can deal…..a pen can never be too deep…..

GIANTS FANS
Way to pack the yard….sure fireworks night, but still….nice to see the yard full again……

JOKER

MANNY

Welcome back you selfish bastard…..extremely gifted as a hitter, but such a pain in the ass that the Red Sox sent you packing and that was BEFORE the steroid circus…….so you were dumb enough to get caught by a drug testing program so loose that Amy Winehouse could avoid testing positive and then suspended for 50 games…..during the suspension I heard you were sent to Single A for rehab, when NA was the more appropriate rehab choice…. and now, after your team has been rolling with the best record in the majors and your replacement tore up a storm….you return to fuck up the chemistry, play shitty defense, and perhaps even take a leak in the Gatorade just for laughs……so good luck Manny, may you sell many wigs and t shirts……lets just hope that your young fans understand that Steroids are bad for you, and men with Nappy ass dreadlocks prefer blunts to needles…

SMACK OF THE STICK :

JUAN PIERRE
Everyone's favorite wanna be midget goes back to the bench to watch the Manny show up close and sulk…..

MANNYWOOD
I am sure there are many Dodger fans that are appalled at Manny, and would prefer to see him hit the road….but I hardly think they are the majority, and certainly they aren't sitting in the Left Field Pavilion where Manny Mania is alive and well after a 50 game hiatus……And yes Dodgers marketing may have pulled back a little from Manny, but he is hardly disowned, they still sell the Wigs and Manny Bobblehead night is still planned, and I hear they just added a Manny Muscle Suit Night……so kids can don their wigs, inflate the suit and look just like Manny…..and the beauty is that the muscles are just as real as Manny's too…..
