GAMEBALL and JOKER--> PIRATES at GIANTS 04-13

GAMEBALL

VELEZ

Damn that skinny kid has got some pop, Eugene hit a chopper to tie the game… but the real heroics was the SHOT he hit over the bricks in right…..the kid can hit, but is a man without a position and probably never gets a chance at a full time job because of his defensive shortcomings….but man, this kid gives you goosebumps where you see all that potential……and we got a glimpse tonight, which was good enough for the GAMEBALL

TIP OF THE CAP :
MOLINA
What a strange year, did anyone expect that Bengie would not only be leading the team in hitting with a .455 AVE, but his OBP is actually HIGHER that his batting average!.... 22 AB's into the season Bengie has 2 walks, compared with last year where it took Bengie until May 14th and 123 AB's before his 2nd walk of the season…..Quick Sabes, lock him up for 3 more years!!!

ROWAND
Back and forth performances all over the place, and after a much publicized 0 for 10 start, Rowand is now hitting .300 and got 2 more hits tonight and scored 2 runs….also made a nice play to gun down DOUGHMITT trying for a double……

ROMO
Keeps on dealing…..

JOKER

RENTERIA

Well that was quick….Renteria has not only cooled off considerably, he gets the JOKER this evening for his bat but especially the muffed catch on what looked to be a sure double play ball to set up the go ahead run in the pivotal 8th…….I would avoid Affeldt in the clubhouse, I hear he can have a temper……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
AFFELDT
Yeah, run was unearned, but you still set the whole thing up with the 4 pitch walk

FLANNERY
Dude…….you got one job to do….and that play on Pablo wasn't even close….and in case you missed it Molina is hitting like .400 something…..

MEDDERS
The weak link got smacked around for insurance runs that turned into a good investment for the Pirates……with the depth of Giants pitching, you have close to no job security….the only thing you have going is the Giants don't want a kid sitting at the end of the pen collecting dust…..

CAIN
Sorry Cainer, 6 Innings and 3 runs aint gonna cut it….that may be a Quality Start in some parts, but we expect dominance from the big arm..

(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..)
