Whitey back; Chez3 sent to SJ. No significant ABs by either side vs the SPs; Sosa pitching on short rest.

6-1 Good guys. Ross with a bomb.

What is the reasoning for Sosa pitching on short rest?

Wow! Yankees hit three grand slams against the A's today. First time in baseball history to have three GS in one game.

It's 22 to 8, and the A's had a 7 to 1 lead at one point.

Astros wnat to see Belt cement his position in the line before the playoffs.

Is the Houston FO part of the lunatic fringe??

Would appear so

This is an experiment paid for by the SF Giant front office. Tomorrow Sosa pitches on no rest. They want to see what the effect is of a pitcher's rest period versus the vaulted 2011 SF Giant offense or is the word halted? Maybe stunted? Whatever, it's an experiment.

What do you say gents...do the Giants put together a couple of wins? Arizona is...not surprisingly...beating Washington 3-1...

With 32 games left the time is now. We're not going to have too many more - there's always tomorrow. They have to STOP losing the first game of every damn series. We can start with tonight!

I don't know what it is but right now I am feeling pretty good about this race. The teams form may not warrant it, but deep down I expect we will pass the Snakes and go to the playoffs and right now I like us V anyone in a short series.

Question: Looking at AGon's numbers playing in that crackerbox in Boston (no racial slurs intended), were the Giants ever considering trying to sign him? It would have cost a ton of $$$ for sure, average $22 million per. But once we subtract Rowand and Zito and Huff, that looks damn affordable. Especially considering he is fairly young, great power, great average, a gold glove 1st baseman. I wouldn't expect AT&T to downgrade his power numbers, as he hit 40+ homers at the Litterbox. Anyway, was he even considered, or was it a foregone conclusion he was going to Boston? And would he have signed here?

I like the optimism, and mostly agree. However, I'd like to take the lead sometime before the white flag goes up. But that's what worked last year, so why not? More torture.

Let's do something new tonight - let's score 4 runs in the very first inning - it would make the rest of my night so pleasant -

ugh

I am not usually a rose coloured kind of guy and last week after the Astros serious I was pretty glum - but I like what I see in Belt, I am certain Beltran will perform to his average, Huff is improving and looks like he will get to his career numbers and I think our defence improves dramatically in September when we can bring Crawford on in the late innings - with our pitching that should be enough.

Like I said not sure why but I expect us to take this. It might all change by the weekend though!!!!!!!

Falling behind to the crappiest team in the league..in the first inning...at home...what a shocker...

 

[Epic Voidfield]

20 pitches, 1 out. Shit.
