GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> GIANTS at ASTROS 06-23

GAMEBALL

RENTERIA

Hey….now I don't think anyone here will accuse me of being an Edgar lover…..but I am more that willing to give him the benefit of the doubt……an aging shortstop with limited range and arm strength, could still contribute to this team…..maybe not starting every day…..but virtually everyday….assuming his bat can chip into the Giants attack….and whether he really likes Houston or his bat really does have some life…..today was a good sign… 3 hits including a extra base hit to left are all good signs….and those pulled extra base hit was what was missing last year…..sort of a canary in a coal mine if you will……lets just hope we aren't the canaries……and besides…..Uribe and Sanchez can use to sit a spell…..and Rent at SS also leads to a position shuffle that gets Molina some rest as well……

TIP OF THE CAP :
TORRES
Well whatever was wrong with Andres, certainly didn't last long….2 extra base hits and a walk…..the RBI that got the Giants on the board and scored the second run of the night…..guess I should stop worrying…..

LANDON DONOVAN
Debated the GB for Landon, but in the end just couldn’t do it……..huge huge goal for USA Soccer, but its not the 1984 Olympic Hockey team…….This country manages to care about soccer once every 4 years…..and that goal prolonged the spotlight for a few more days….……so good luck against Ghana, or Zimbabwe, or Suriname, or Sudan, or whatever country is next on the list……admit it, you had to go to google maps to figure out where half these countries are….and it should be mentioned, not only was this a big goal for USA Soccer, but gay athletes everywhere…..yeah, I know about the whole hot ex thing…..but ever notice how the gay athletes in the closet have the hottest women?? Jeff Garcia??.....Brett Tomko??.......but seriously, if he is "a gay" more power to him….to each his own….live and let live….a stitch in time saves nine…..haste makes waste…..don't tred on me…..or some profound shit……

ROWAND
Gamiest pinch hitter in the game

JOE MARTINEZ
Scoreless inning….hey, I thought he was being sacrificed….errrr….pitching against the Red Sox this weekend???


JOKER

ZITO

Yeah….thats not gonna work……belt high fastballs and looping curves getting smacked around the park……Zito turned in his worst effort of the year……It was almost as if the Astros were playing slow pitch softball just hanging back waiting for that slow shit to make it to the plate…..after tearing through April and early May….Zito has hit a bump where he is almost alternating starts where he is pretty good, and then not so much…..still far from the embarrassing pitcher of 2007-2008……but now far from the ACE we were watching early in the season….lets hope he just settles into this halfway decent area instead of regressing….I know the contract ain't worth it, but at least we get some useable value out of him……..and by the way……with his over the top public love of all things unicorn……and unabashed bachelorhood…….not gay…….although the gays think he is a fucking fruity bastard……but not gay…….and the gays are relieved……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
PABLO
He's gotta snap out of it sometime right???

ENGLAND
OK, I figured it out……the fucking English Soccer team wear jersey's with FUCKING COLLARS……what the fuck…..pompous asses…..the whole team looks like Dan Akroyd's Country Club buddies from Trading Places….good luck with Germany you wankers……

(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 thought 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..)
