you can be bad and you can be boring... but for the love of god, do not be both

even in the bleakest days at candlestick, there was some personality - some sense of fan connection. in my 45yrs of following the giants, this is as abject a group as i can remember. and i really like most of the players, they are just not giving any hope or excitement atm....

a year ago this would have been a marquee match-up. amazing how fast things turn...

that said ----- go giants!

I have a co-worker who is a big Mets fan and we've commiserated on how "well" both are our teams have been so far this season.

Panik 2B
Belt 1B
Pence RF
Posey C
Arroyo SS
Nuñez LF
Gillaspie 3B
Gorkys CF
Moore P

Two very under performing teams.
I don't understand why Hernandez gets the start everyday in center field. I know Stubbs is gone, but how come he didn't draw a start or two before he was shipped off? How about Ruggiano? Its not like Hernandez is hitting any better than either of them.

And, Gillaspie, really? Why?

this batting order has been a complete mystery for over a month now. bochy may be angling for the 'golden parachute'

matty mo starting to find his groove... unfortunately it's after 49 pitches through the 2nd inning .... :gaah:
Threw another 16 pitches in the 3rd. We may be lucky to get 5 full innings out of him. Hopefully, he pitches more efficiently in the 4th.

ok conor.. let's wow the finnery's contingent
I was actually kinda disappointed in Finnerty's. I was expecting it to be a bar/resteraunt. It is strictly a bar.

Serious Giants bar, though. Dodger fans are NOT welcome there...

Did you see @Mays-Fan or @SF11704 while you were in NYC?
There was an old coot at the end of the bar who was staring at me. Of the two possibilities, I chose to believe it was sf wondering if it was me.

Not that there is anything wrong with the other possibility, though...
