GAMEBALL and JOKER 07/24 GIANTS at ROCKIES
GAMEBALL
CAIN
Hell Yeah, if there is such a thing as a throwback pitcher, Cain is it…..Battling every time at the plate, running all out and diving when needed….Cain had half the infield on his jersey by the forth inning….This kid needs a nickname…..Cainer or Matty or any play on his name is just goofy…..Bulldog, taken…. Bull, too cliché…Shotgun, funny and it bothers him..…but no, what's big and strong and reliable…..nothing flashy, just serious and gets the work done…….I don't know I throw it out there for you…..all I know as long as he is called "winner" Cain will be happy…..
TIP OF THE CAP :
LEWIS
I don't know what got into Lewis, but he looked like the player that broke on the scene back in 2007…..the time warp was so powerful he almost duplicated his Mile High Cycle falling just a Homer short….reaching base all 4 times to the plate Lewis WAS the offense tonight…..he would have been in the running for gameball if it wasn't for a run scoring misplay in left,….. of course he had to mix that in just so we didn't fear the invasion of the Body Snachers
NATE
Finally got the Giants first homer of the 2nd half….and any offense is good offense for this team
MOLINA
Run scoring hit and run single and the 2009 Giants classic…..run scoring DP……
AFFELDT
Glad to see someone in the pen is dealing……and amazing consistency from out of the pen……just amazing……
WINN/ ISHI/ URIBE/ DOWNS
Each made solid plays in the field…
SANDOVAL
Made 2…count em…..2 diving stabs down the line and twirled and came up firing both times to nail the runner……I tell you right now, this is my favorite play in baseball…..and its so fucking fun to convert if you are the 3rd baseman….when you come up to fire its like your body just uncoils a rifle shot to 1st……..love it…… ….the kid is a good 3rd base man now….. and Bochy, don't move him to 1st and don't ever fucking take Pablo out for "defensive purposes" again
JOKER
SABEAN
This isn't the time to make a big splash as you need to keep your best and brightest prospects churning and humming….. but a minor tweak to this roster could go a long way if you get lucky, and with the wealth of young talent in the Majors and Minors, it wouldn't take much to get a 1/2 way decent piece to add to this team….. Look at LaRoche, Felipe Lopez and Betancourt all basically shuffled off for table scraps….And Lugo and Duncan swapped for each other….. these is the level of player you should be looking at…..a spare part with a major league bat that just might actually get hot…..I don't know….what about Belliard in Washington….. he has a line drive right handed bat languishing on the bench….or Wiggington in Baltimore, another right handed bat with past success….these guys can play a few different infield positions, and give you options at 2nd, 1st and 3rd…and the best part…..you can probably get one of them for nearly nothing….so get off your ass and get it done …….and I bet you my season tickets that they would hit better than Downs' .180…..
SMACK OF THE STICK :
SELIG
So a source close to the Blue Jays tells Bud that Halladay won't be dealt….What the FUCK???? have you ever heard of a commissioner coming out and basically saying something that amounts to tampering on the radio for everyone to hear???? I bet the Blue Jays really appreciated the help….perhaps teams will take the Blue Jays less seriously and focus on Cliff Lee or Jarrod Washburn….or maybe the Phillies will panic and up the offer to the Jays just to seal the deal….I don't know….all I know is you are a neutral official of baseball….keep your yap shut…….
WINN/ ISHI/ URIBE/ DOWNS
Helpless at the plate…0 for 14 with 3 K's
SANDOVAL
Bone head running play….almost led to a DP…..The ball was going foul until Pablo handed them the out at the plate……
