looks like sf weather in chi, giants should feel right at home

with denard's shot's to right.... time to sign along

When the Giants come to town, it’s Bye-Bye Baby
Every time the chips are down, it’s Bye-Bye Baby
History’s in the making at Candlestick Park
Cheer for the batter, and light the spark

If you’re a fan of Giants baseball, sing Bye-Bye Baby!
If you want to be in first place, call Bye-Bye Baby!
Listen to the broadcast on KSFO
Turn up the volume, and hear ‘em go

With the San Francisco Giants, it’s Bye-Bye Baby!

Another solo homer

You'd think these guys get a weak sphincter muscle when runners are on base....

19 straight solo homers for the Giants, and 33 of 39 homers on the season are solos.

A SDI!?!

runners on base? that'd be nice

It requires some walks. The Giants loathe those.

At least the two home runs (so far) by the Cubs have been of the same variety.

yep.. reject both small ball and long ball - what's our plan, middle ball

 

[msgkings322]

Our plan is to suck I think this year. MadBum's stupidity kind of set the tone. And too many guys are just not doing what they are supposed to. When the year started on paper we could say "gee our rotation is among the best in the game" but really, no.

I'm still going to enjoy games and performances, but my guess is we end up sellers in July, not total teardown. And maybe they will surprise me, but at this point I will indeed be surprised if they make the playoffs.

This Belt-Morse portion of the double switch sure seems goofy. Replace one of the best defensive 1st basemen late in the game for a rather average (if that) substitute who is hitting worse than the guy he replaced.

 

[1phlapdown]

Is the QS any consolation?

Finally a fucking homer from the kid.

Finally a fucking homer from the kid.

And not a solo shot! Still not enough, because pitching.

 

[calsnowskier]

Is it weird that I am actually kinda bummed that the HR streak is over?

I don't understand the necessity of that move there. Take our 2nd best hitter out of the lineup. Way to go, Boch

Complete head scratcher. I thought that Belt was the last out of that inning but he wasn't, it was Crawford. Maybe Bochy thought Morse would hit the game winning home run and Belt's spot in the lineup wouldn't come up. Who knows.
