GAMEBALL and JOKER--> GIANTS at DODGERS 04-16

I hate the fucking Dodgers… and the only thing I hate more than the Dodgers, is fucking Los Angeles itself… Pompous, self centered, shallow people inhabiting a dirty urban sprawl of asphalt and concrete…. Sure it’s a great place if you are shopping or trying to do business, but as you lift off from "lovely" Burbank, Santa Ana, or god forbid LAX, you can just look over at the brown shit you have been wading through for the last few days and you feel dirty all over……And then there is Dodger stadium, with decks that seem to get higher and steeper and then the smog that you really don't notice day to day……but when you focus further away and looking through a good chunk of "air" to watch a ball game…..fucking nasty….I can hardly watch a ballgame there, can you imagine playing??? Sure its cliché, but its true….I will take the crunchy neo-hippie of Mill Valley driving a Volvo, or the Sand Hill Road Venture Capitalist driving a Mercedes S Class with a huge Grateful Dead sticker in the back window…..

GAMEBALL and JOKER--> GIANTS at DODGERS 04-16


GAMEBALL

VELEZ

Yes, the rally fell short of its objective… or maybe not…..7-0 after 2 innings….this game was long over already and the Giants of 2009 would have mentally checked out of the game…..but not tonight, as the Giants kept coming trying to make a game of it…..and thanks to a 2 out 9th inning blast from Velez, his 2nd this week….good job Velez, and way to make another late charge for the GAMEBALL…..

TIP OF THE CAP :
URIBE
Couple hits including a 2 RBI Single that plated the Giants first 2 runs….

DEROSA
Beginning to warm up to this guy….he don't like losing and he was key in 2 Giants rallies

JOAQUIN/ MEDDERS
Neither were particularly effective….but they got the job done….saving the real pitchers in the bullpen…..

JACKIE ROBINSON
He may have been a Dodger, but he was still Jackie Robinson …and he is bigger than baseball….there are only a few stories in the world that can make me as emotional as Jackie's…… great man, great story…..tip that cap……

JOKER

PADILLA

Wow…. Brian Wilson thinks you are a crazy fuck……Big time headcase with Big time stuff and never been able to put it together….been too busy beaning people and fighting with his own team….I joke about Brian Wilson, but this guy is a wack job…..just be glad he is good at baseball…..otherwise he might be hiding in the bushes waiting to hack you to pieces……I swear the subhuman thing is missing a few chromosomes……the headhunter added Rowand to his list of victims and is tonights JOKER


SMACK OF THE STICK :
WELLEMEYER
11 runs allowed for Wellemeyer, 14 runs for the rest of the starting staff….Todd's spring magic is gone and the velocity of 2008 is a distant memory…..this guy make me long for the days of Jamey Wright….now that's pretty sad……Honestly, send this guy to the pen, send Joaquin down to AAA to get some work and bring Joe Martinez back up……sure Joe isn't lighting the world on fire, but he couldn't be worse and at least then you would have Joe and Wellemeyer to soak up innings every 5th day

(The fine print: There will be cussing and bad taste. This is written with the heat of the moment feel you may have during the game, with rational though sprinkled in now and then. 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..)
