5/12 NATS at GIANTS

GAMEBALL

PANDA

Proving that late inning offensive heroics aren’t the sole domain of Bengie, one strike away from a emotional loss, Pablo crushed a fastball deep into the left field seats to turn fortune on its head……after an embarrassing would be Triple turned embarrassing out…..Pablo had the most energizing hit of the Giants season giving Giants fans a Bondsesqe ending to a back and forth game…..
What can you say……the love for the Panda only grows in San Francisco……

TIP OF THE CAP :
MOLINA
Molina's solo shot in the 8th made it a 1 run game……foreshadowing Little Money's shot in the 9th…..oh yeah……Bengie also had his 1st walk….and scored from 1st on a double…..

ISHIKAWA
Added 2 more hits to his hot streak….and 1 more K…….

WINN
Key 2 run double and solid D, this time in left

BURRISS/ RENTERIA
Set the table for the Panda…..

FRANK
Our resident Wonderdog loves the taste of Nationals pitching

HUMAN TORCH

Baseball is littered with relievers who seem to excel in a setup role only to melt once put under the pressure of the closer role…..well….Howry has taken that problem one step further and seems to melt if ANY situation with even the mildest pressure…….After an encouraging 3 outings including an improbable 2 scoreless versus the Dodgers…..the Howry that Giants fans have quickly learn to hate is back……..nursing a 1 run lead in the 8th, Howry got a strike out, and then allowed a walk, a LOUD fly out and back to back singles to get yanked…..but not before losing the lead……So lets hope Bochy has learned his lesson, cause few more high profile failures like this one, and the name Howry will be held with the same reverence as Walker, Hawkins, and Herges…….

SMACK OF THE STICK :
SCHIERHOLTZ
Although Fred Lewis' name was off the lineup card, Nate carried the sprit of Fred out with him to the field…..Getting crossed up on a line drive hit just to his left for a single, mis-judging a deep fly at the wall for a double, taking 3 straight fastballs for a strikeout and having your bat explode on your other 2 at bats……not a way to impress the management…….

MANNY ACTA
Frank Robinson is rolling in his grave…..
Hanarhan….was pretty nasty yesterday…..I don't care if he blew two saves…..he's 100x better than Wells and Beimel…….just hope you don't figure that out before the Giants are done spanking your team this year……

GAMEBALL

JOHNSON

297 and counting…..and the Unit still can GET IT UP there pretty fast and its STILL HARD enough …You see it is natural when a Man ages, his ABILITY TO PERFORM can be inconsistent…..and after handing out 7 free passes in his last outing the UNIT WAS PULLED OUT by Bochy…..but Randy was far from IMPOTENT tonight, as his imposing figure stood ERECT on the mound he used every TOOL at his disposal and BEAT OFF any offensive threats
So good Job Randy, although you were on the bench for the CLIMAX of the game, you deserved today's WIN and GAMEBALL

PS……PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS


TIP OF THE CAP :
ISHI
FINALLY!!! Ishi did some damage on this cold rainy night at the Stick……errr ATT in MAY…….with a run scoring DOUBLE that woulda cleared the fence most nights……nice to see aggressive hacks from the kid

WINN
Some FINE glove work in Right, and a KEY stolen base in the 3rd to get the Giants their 2nd run

SANDOVAL
2 hits including a Triple that was almost as slow as Molina

WILSON
Was taken to the limit tonight….bailing out Howry/ Affeldt with a torturous 4 out save…….thats 2 for 2 post twitter……

RENTERIA
Hey….couldn't get the outs, but just stopping the ball 2x kept the game in check

JOKER

SETUP MEN

Good job JOKERS…….a hard fought 3 run lead almost disappeared in less than an inning……the two "Veteran Saviors" of the bullpen, looked like the same old characters ….well actually I have no idea what it looked like….but it sounded like shit as they got smacked around the stadium……..
Good thing Wilson had your back……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
COMCAST
If I wanted to listen to a ballgame, I woulda been born in the 50's…..
No today we got Satalites, High Def, Extra Inning Packages….and pay out the ASS for it…….just so we can listen to our $2500 Television like it was a goddamn RCA RADIO…….

BOCHY
I hear your head got downgraded from a Planet to a Moon…..my condolences…..

PADRES
Goddamnit……0-0 game into the ninth……gave up 3 fucking hits all night……lose the game on a walk off based loaded walk…….thats almost as bad as ending the game on a Benitez Balk…..
