Giants demoted Justin Christian. Apparently not good enough to play in majors, but good enough to mostly lead off when he played.

Looks like Nate is going to get some time in CF with the phillies:

With the Giants, he was pigeon-holed as a right fielder. The Phillies plan to give him a look at all three spots and he welcomes that challenge as well.

"He's a good defender. He's got a good arm. He gets a jump on balls," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

Said Schierholtz: "I feel like I can play anywhere. In San Francisco, [manager Bruce Bochy] always threw me in right. That's where he liked me. I told him in Spring Training I was willing to play anywhere. I haven't played a lot of center but I'm open to it and think I could do it."

Burriss cleared waivers. Shocking.

Thank God!!

I was afraid we would lose him...

2 BB and a HBP in the 1st by Zeets...

Is it time to turn it off ALREADY?

 

[ColinCoby]

Well shit, already down 2-0.

 

[ColinCoby]

The Mets aren't winning this series, they are just playing less shitty than the Giants.

Frustrating.

 

[gp956]

Thank God!!

As someone else said, Sabean was pretty crafty. Had he released him in April, some team would have snatched him up, but by letting him play for 3 months other teams got a really good look at how shitty he was.

I hate Zito

Over before the game started

 

[gp956]

After two walks, a HBP, a clean single, a Melky bad route clank-glove error ruled a hit botch job, aaaaaaaand ...game over.

 

[ColinCoby]

No error given to Melky? I don't get it.

Pantshatting!!








(99% chance you are correct)

 

[gp956]

How secure will Bochy be if the Giants have another shitty August?

But no FUD!

Official scorer wants him to sign long term with the Giants.

Unless the Giants completely collapse, he's safe.

Pretty cool that our bullpen will be totally wiped out going into Colorado.
