Dead thread!

Great job by the bully tonight. An Italian salute to Zito. In finest Godfather fashion, "I give you a four run lead, and you come to me with this sort of @%$^#@ performance?"

While the Giants' bully held the line (mostly), the Dodger bully gave up 7 runs in the 8th inning and almost lost the game to the Rox.

Zeets on Buster (as tweeted by Baggs):

Zito acknowledged adjustment needed with Posey, who hasn't caught him much. Regretted not shaking on a couple changeups that got hit......but Zito said "That's my job to shake. It's nothing Posey is doing wrong."

But other than that, it was a wash, right?

Twenty-nine.

Why does tomorrow feel like a must-sweep? Being that we have won 8 of the first 9 games this season against Houston, it looks like the chances are pretty good. Also, the Astros will be trotting another starter out there with an ERA over 5.

Zito was throwing BP out there.

Well, to be fair, Zito's change-ups are BP speed, i.e. about the same velocity as what a 59 year old former college pitch can throw.

LOL, the Melkman's going to win this thing. There's no way McCutchen's going to beat Melky's mark. McCutchen's body is breaking down right now. Maybe he needs some of Melky's cream to rub on his body.

I'd like to see Vogelsong get back on track.

He probably stopped as soon as Melky got busted.

I really want Melky to win the NL Batting Title. Won't he get some kind of trophy, and a handshake from Selig? That'll be a classic moment.

He did pretty good in his last start except for all the longballs. That would be a scary problem to have pitching in Houston.

I know. Although AT&T was pretty live in his last start.

Plus, that would give him a great chance to plug his supplement web site.

more from baggs:

“Posey, he has a great idea for hitters, but you can’t always guess 100 percent of the time,” said Zito.

This was in reference to the called change-ups. I'm not sure what Zito is really saying here. Is it that Posey hasn't done the requisite homework on these hitters?

I think the Giants are going to have T-Shirt night for that coming up in the next home-stand.

“The bullpen has picked me up a couple of times when I came out early,” Zito said. “Bochy is doing a hell of a job of managing that bullpen.”

AB: SHUT THE FUCK UP, BARRY, AND PITCH BETTER SO I DON'T HAVE TO MANAGE THE FUCK OUTTA THE GAME SO DAMNED EARLY.

Just gotta say, AB, that it is nice to see you posting again. But after such a lengthy time away, you really ought to work back into this slowly, or you might injure yourself again. And we cannot have that, you know?
