GAMEBALL and JOKER--> GIANTS at A'S 05/22

And that folks is a 4 game slide…. and its been a team effort with the Starting Pitching, the Relievers, the Defense, and the Bats all taking turns screwing up the Giants hopes….time to panic??? well, not really…… you got what you got at this point in the season…….and brining up Hacker and/ or Posey and/ or Bumgarner in the near future wouldn't qualify as a panic move in my opinion…. it would be the smart thing to do……


GAMEBALL and JOKER--> GIANTS at A'S 05/22

GAMEBALL

CAIN

Thought that whole hard luck thing was gone after 2009?? Nope, after 9 starts Cain sits at 2-4 with a 2.88 ERA…..last year….5-1 with a 2.40 ERA…..and in his 9th start last year Cain also gave up 1 run in a Complete Game…..but last year he got the win…….


TIP OF THE CAP :
I don't know………lets see……Hey …..Brandon Crawford is looking better in AA Richmond……after having his BA hovering in the .210 level early this year, he is hitting .314 with a .444 OBP in his last 10….


JOKER

BATS

Good god…..I know they aren't this bad….but days like this make you want to blow this team up and start over……the Giants never went through a true rebuilding phase…..never making a 100% commitment by trading anything of value for lots and lots of prospects and youth…instead they are relying on the draft, aggressive international signings and free agents to get the job done…… has done wonders for the pitching staff……but as the pitching staff peaks……the hitters are mostly expensive Free Agents and AAAA hitters trying to make the grade…..and when the one early blooming hitter starts slumping ……and the blue chip offensive threat is kept in the AAA to save a few bucks…….you get an offense that scares no one……and even AFTER Posey gets here……the Giants are going to need a lot more help to get late into October……and that help ain't coming from AA anytime soon….nope, the Giants are going to have to make that TRADE……..of course, easier said than done….

SMACK OF THE STICK :
HUFF/ F SANCHEZ/ BOWKER
Fuck…….OK, Huff I can deal with, since he has actually played better than expected at 1st…..but the Sanchez bobble when he had plenty of time….and the fucking BALLON throw from Bowker…….they both can do better than that……fuck……

OK, that’s all I got folks……those Giants aren't giving me anything to work with…..

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..)
