Cueto sat a long time that inning. Probably enjoyed it very much.

 

[LHG]

Lest we forget, the Giants had 9 homers in the first 7 games last season. #grayclouds

Just here to water down your joy.

Speaking of which, how's that RISP number looking today?

 

[1phlapdown]

Hernandez with a game score of 1. omg

 

[calsnowskier]

An oldie but goodie.

Maybe a new sig is in order.

Nah. Brings back good memories.

 

[LHG]

This game will only be worth it if Joe Panik hits a home run. Otherwise, who cares whether we win or lose?

Not so good, but better than it has been. It's a wonder how you can still score runs by hitting homers, RISP be damned.

Me like the number of runs scored, though.

edit: at one point the G's were 1-5, wound up 3-11 which is about average for RISP.

And hey, we even got some walks today!

 

[Stokes1931]

So, why is Strick pitching the top of the 9th with a 9 run lead? Does he just need to get some work in? Oh, right. Get some runners on to feel the pressure.

edit: just needed some pressure to bear down

10-1 game

Feels good to be on the right side of that one.

 

[tzill]

good guys win.

 

[Stokes1931]

And hey! Second QS of the season by Shimmy!

 

[1phlapdown]

Our bullpen rocks.

 

[calsnowskier]

Our bullpen rocks.

And our on-paper top two guys are both on the DL...

Some trivia from tonight's game:

Belt now tied with Jeff Leonard for 20th on all time SF Giants HR list with 99. Next up Chili Davis with 101.

Ichiro has only 2 pitchers where he has 10+ ABs and hasn't gotten a hit: he's 0-12 vs Cueto and 0-15 vs Vogelsong

Here's some more random trivia:

Which team has never had a 40 HR hitter?

It is in this thread, so I will guess Seattle. But with Buehner, Griffey and Rodriguez, that is hard to believe.

Ignoring the fact that the question is here, I would guess Tampa.

 

[msgkings322]

It's not about this thread I just remembered it. Not Seattle (all those you mentioned), not Tampa (Carlos Pena had 46 one year)

I would guess San Diego.

 

[msgkings322]

I would guess San Diego.

Ken Caminiti and Greg Vaughn

I have it down to Twins, Royals, Mets, or dogs.

Seeing as how the dogs just flat out suck ass, it must be them.
