What the fuck happened????…. The Giants felt like they were in control all day, and they were….with runners on base all day, a 2 run lead, and Cain on the mound….it feels like we won……but I am pretty sure we didn't……if you know Hockey, I feel like we just lost after out shooting the opponent 32-7 on three goals from the blue line on Nabokov…..and if you don't know Hockey, lets just say that, well…..this really sucks…….and Hockey is pretty sweet, (but not as sweet as baseball)
GAMEBALL and JOKER 08/03 GIANTS at ASTROS
GAMEBALL
GARKO
Welcome to San Francisco, too bad you saved it for Houston…..Garko looks like he is officially off the schneid on base 4 times going a 2 for 2 with a walk and a HBP, and he didn't even loose any popups on the roof at Enron, er Minute Maid Field……
TIP OF THE CAP :
SANDOVAL
3 for 5 with all 3 hits coming with runners on base, and the outs coming with the bases empty…….and you know what would really make up for that All Star Snub? How about a playoff birth and an MVP???? You go work on that will ya?
CAIN
Went the distance and the pen is rested entering Sanchez and Martinez days
MARTINEZ
Everything but official, Joe gets a chance at the rotation, and if the Giants are serious about the playoffs they are going to need his contribution
JOKER
ROWAND
Ugly day for Mr. Gamer taking a fat 0 for 4 with 4 plate appearances with runners on…..just 1 hit would have been the difference in this close matchup….instead we got 2 K's LOOKING and 2 easy bounce outs…….and the K's were UGLY both coming on 0-2 pitches and the 2nd one a fastball right down the goddamn pipe…..
SMACK OF THE STICK :
LANSFORD
I have to give an assist to Carney on this one….you think at some point SOMEONE will go…..OK EVERYBODY HUDDLE UP….THE UMPIRE IS GIVING HAMPTON ABOUT 6 INCHES ON THE OUTSIDE CORNER TO RIGHTHANDERS, MAKE SURE TO PROTECT……maybe a vet says something, but at the very least the goddamn hitting coach……but instead no one adjust and Hampton took advantage with 6 K's including 5 looking and Rowand, Renteria, and Cain all getting strike 3 called on pitches off the plate……
FLANNERY
Ouch…..such a good day on Saturday making all the right calls….well tonight they weren't so good…..getting Renteria GUNNED at the plate on a BAD Throw 7 feet up the 3rd base line…..and STILL Plenty of time to nail him……and then on a Renteria double, Garko was held up at 3rd just as Carlos Lee came up with the ball out in that weird corner in Left......Sure Garko ain't exactly Carl Lewis, but then again Carlos ain't exactly Jesse Barfield…….
CAIN
Ouch, what can you say……He's one of the horses that makes this team go, and when you spot him a 2 run lead you almost expect a win…….and honestly, the reason I have him here is the 6th inning…..after striking out looking with the bases juiced and 1 out, he looked he was still thinking about the at bat when he gave up the triple and home to the 1st and 2nd hitters in the Astros lineup…….
WINN
Like that 1986 Chrysler you had…..once the payments ended, things just started breaking down…..just it wouldn't hit from the right side….then its already weak arm became pathetic…..soon it wasn't hitting left handed either…..just a matter of time before it stops running all together….the weird thing is Winn seems to be running as well as ever…..you would figure that would be the first thing to break down on a 35 year old outfielder
BIP
Don't know anything about curses……but I do know t\hat Bip sucks….and without that Giants fans good will to fall back on like JT Snow…….
