4/28 GDT Champs at PIT

[tzill]

Lineup:

CF Rowand
2B Burriss
1B Huff
3B Sandoval
LF Burrell
RF Ross
SS Fontenot
C Whiteside
P Vogelsong

It's cold and windy, 20% chance of rain -- not sure if the wind is blowing in or out at PNC Park. Franchez, Miggy, Posey with the day game after a night game off. Given our offensive woes, probably can't hurt. We'll see if Manny has discovered some hands....

Word on Karsten is that he tires pretty significantly after 75 pitches. Thus, it's CRITICAL (yes, YOU, RoRo) to make him throw pitches today. Miggy is on the bench, so there is no excuse not to get him out by the fifth. The Buc bullpen isn't very good. We can win this one.

Winds blowing out to left, 15-25 mph. Good news for RoRo, Burrell, Ross.

 

[tzill]

I putting on my virtual "rally thong" by listening to the Pirates broadcast....anybody else here?

 

[calsnowskier]

Why is FPOM (SPOM in this case) RoRo leading off?

This makes no sense...

 

[calsnowskier]

I gotcha, tz...

Good question. Answer: To quote P.T. Barnum, "Because there's a sucker born every minute."

 

[tzill]

Vogey is FUCKING torturing me....

 

[Heathbar012]

That'll probably do it for Ryan Vogelsong's Giants' career... again.

Fucker

 

[Heathbar012]

Oh, Manny. I know he hates being called Manny, but that's what he's gonna get with those stone hands.

 

[tzill]

This is quickly turning into a nightmare....odds we never take the lead in this game?

I'd put it at 75%

 

[Heathbar012]

Fucker

Yeah. Way to ColinCoby that one, tzill.

 

[calsnowskier]

OK, a little bit of redemption...

Unless today's Giants' lineup is far more potent than I expect it to be. Really? Lose a series to the Pirates? They better sweep the Nats.

 

[tzill]

nice play by Manny there....

 

[msgkings322]

Already in the hole.

I know it's early and we've had injuries and such, but it'd be nice to be over .500 wouldn't it?
