GAMEBALL and JOKER--> CARDS at GIANTS 04/23

Wow, back to home sweet home….. and orange Friday ain't just some stupid marketing ploy anymore…. no, this time they gave out orange blankets and got the team in orange as well…. well, it's an improvement on old orange Friday's at least, I mean if they are asking the fans to wear the burnt orange they might as well make the players participate….but not really sure if I like it….I mean some players actually look pretty good, while others look a bit odd….and the cream pants with orange tops???, I guess so if they were in orange tops and pants…well, it would probably look like this,….

GAMEBALL and JOKER--> CARDS at GIANTS 04/23

GAMEBALL

TIMMY

Timmy….well, not the best looking in the orange, and not the sharpest performance….. but he got the job done .. Timmy allowed runners get to scoring position 3 times in the first 3 innings, but he nutted up when it counted with runners in scoring allowing only 1 hit in 10 AB's with 4 K's and a DP…..Way to get that 4th win Timmy stopping the Giants' 4 game slide, moving your own record to 4-0 and getting tonight's GAMEBALL

TIP OF THE CAP :
DEROSA
Little Orange, Little Dirt, Derosa was looking good in the orange……
Have the feeling that you are going to end up with like 100 tips of the cap, and never a gameball…..not a spectacular effort, but he seemed to always be in the middle of the action……diving into 1st to beat out an infield hit, leading off the Giants 2 run rally in the 3rd …..2 runs qualify as a rally for this team, don't second guess me OK?

ROMO
Hmm, maybe not so sharp in orange…..
With the images of that dreadlocked bastard still in the back my mind, he proceeded to look the best player in baseball look straight up FOOLISH on the K to lead off the 8th……and good job going OUT OF THE ZONE THIS TIME with the 1-2 pitch….

WILSON
NO, the fauxhawk/ rattail thing don't work with the orange…..well, it doesn’t really work period……
Man, on like 52 days rest Brian was sharp enough to strike out the side allowing only a infield single to the hole…….

HUFF
No hits, 2 runs,….and that Orange isn't working……makes him look like an overgrown Dennis the Menace……

NATE
Hey, HBP + Infield Hit……that’s a huge offensive night for this team,….and I didn't notice the jersey, I was too busy staring at his batting gloves…..Jeez, make up your mind already……

DOWNS
Basehit + Walk + nothing stupid…..hey that pretty good for Giants' position players fresh off the farm…..

PABLO + TORRES
In my opinion the best looking in Orange…..
Orange was very slimming for Pablo, and I think the glare of the Orange made Torres Big Gold Chain look somewhat understated….


JOKER

STL GLOVES

The Ghost Steve Sax lives….. Good god, if the Cardinals fumbled with any more balls tonight, they would have to be registered as sex offenders….Brendan Ryan bouncing one into the stands, Schumaker letting one leak through the 5 hole, and the Yadier letting a curveball in the dirt get past him for the run scoring passball…. wow, hope they play defense like JOKERS all weekend…..

SMACK OF THE STICK :
KRUKOW/ PUJOLS
Sorry Mike, DeRosa woulda been out if Pujols makes that scoop….Ryan made a great play up the middle and didn't make the best throw, but it was a makeable short hop play…..in fact I would say that a 1st baseman of Albert caliber should make that play 95% of the time……Taking about Ryan being young and shoulda eaten it is just wrong…. if it was such a no hope play, Albert shoulda just as arguable come off the bag and just knocked the damn ball down……Sorry Kruk, if you are afraid to talk shit about the Big Man, just don't say anything……don't put it all on the kid's shoulders…..

RENTERIA
Sorry Rent, I must say I am glad we traded you for #5 out there,….. he was looking pretty good….

MANNY
Went on the disabled list with a strained calf……cramping and bloating…….hey, it's that time of the month……

This is entertainment folks, sure there is a lot of truth and I am a genius, but this is all about having a laugh and enjoying the ride…….now lets go heckle Jeff Kent in when he gets inducted to Cooperstown..)
