good hustle by Belt..I hope he is OK..it looked like he jammed his ankle

 

[moxie]

Those errors though

 

[SFGRTB]

Giants Win! LA loses! Back to .500

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants win 2-0

Bum was awesome going 7 1/3 shutout innings

Despite 4 errors the Giants pitch through errors..and overcome adversity

Not much offense but they pushed 2 across and that was enough for Bum, Romo, and Casilla (save)

Angel Pagan stays hot 2-4 RBI . Had a little finger scare ..got stepped on..good news he is OK

Belt 2-4

Maxwell BB earned a RBI

Giants 10-0 when leading after 7 innings.

A cold night but a warm win. LA lost so the Giants gain ground.,

Go Giants !!

 

[moxie]

Angel said his nail got cracked in half when it got stepped on. Ouch!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Take bum out if this next statement...

What a craptastic game.

I refuse to grant it "milk" status.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Bum is now 3-1

Casilla has 8 saves already

 

[Band of Brothers]

Great wrap by the boys tonight all in rare form. Everyone is happy.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Don't overlook the play of Angel Pagan who has led the way. Another SB tonight. So happy to have him back playing the drums for the team. Aoiki, Panik, and Pagan make up a good 1-2-3 get on base team.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Maxwell and Crawford had outstnding plays on defense on a night when the Giants commited 4 errors. Craw up the middle with a dive and Maxwell deep into right center to run down a drive in the gap.

 

[Hangman]

I wonder if Maxwell can play 3rd when Pence gets back

 

[tzill]

Hector has minimal trade value

Dude, really? Did you think before you hit "post reply" or are you just angry at Hector?

He's an established ML switch hitting catcher.

Jeebus...

[Stokes1931]

You don't hear boo-birds at ATT. He is the most dog-housed player in years.

More than Tejada. More than Rowand...

More than O-Crap? More than AJP? More than China-Doll?

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants are 10-5 when scoring 1st

Giants are 2-0 when committing 2 or more errors

Giants are 7-3 when getting two walks

Giants are 3-5 when getting four or more walks

Giants are 0-3 when getting shut out

Giants are 3-0 when pitching a shut out

Clearly we are not swinging enough, and not booting the ball around enough.

Move McGehee to shortstop. See if Timmy can catch on his off days.

We have never lost a game that Timmeh has caught...

AJ is in a class of his own. However, I don't remember if he experienced boo-birds. I was out of market without access to watching/listening to the games when he was around, so I really have no idea.

China doll is "hated" on this board, but I don't think he was ever disliked by the ignorant hoards.

O-Crap never held a prominant enough position to be hated.

For me, the boo-birds tell the whole story. I seriously do not remember the last time they showed up at ATT.

I think you are right on this one. McGIDPE5 has not had a stellar start to his Giants' career, which I am hoping will either turn around soon or be very short.

Do you think this is jilted lover syndrome? Panda was so well loved, than anyone who took his place, anyone, would be in for lots of booing.

I don't think so. Giants fans are aware that Panda was insanely inconsistent, I think. I think the boo birds were just a combination of a couple things...

1) his HORRIDLY start
2) an incredibly horrid AB

But once the boo bird seal has been broken, it is easier for them to return again. I really don't think it is a small thing that they arrived. This is not Philly or Boston. These fans WANT to love their players. For the fans to turn ugly, something momentous has been achieved.
