And the only Giant with a hit is the rookie catcher?!?

 

[LHG]

Goodness, 110 pitches

Amazingly, he did pretty well the third time through the lineup. A mere 1 for 5 (a weak single) with two walks.

Wasn't he the one that broke up the no-hitter by Ross Stripling earlier this year?

and the shutout!

 

[LHG]

I think its telling that the Giants have had two pinch hitters and neither were Angel Pagan.

Go ahead run at the plate...



Aw rats.

 

[SFGRTB]

Peavy was better than expected and still awful. The bats are just out of commission

 

[SFGRTB]

Wasn't it around this time last year the whole lineup consisted (minus the pitcher, on most days) of .300 or better hitters?

Now everyone is .250

 

[calsnowskier]

The box looks kinda ugly. Did the game match?

Steph Curry might have a chance to stick in the NBA, don't you think? What a performance!

He saved Bay Area sports from complete disappointment tonight with that insane, incredible performance coming back from injury.

I got home just in time to see the last 2 or 3 mins of OT. Dude couldn't miss. And I think he could be a dribbler with the Globetrotters.

Curry is one of the five greatest players, the sui generis basketball gods, that I've ever seen play. Others are Magic, Shaq, MJ, LeBron. Just a sheer joy to watch. MJ in 1992 type stuff.

 

[tzill]

Yup. And even though I am not following, there is also a Sharks game tonight.

Speaking of which, how huge is BA sports right now? There is a CHANCE for the BA to have all four championships this year (Warriors, Sharks, Giants, Raiders). When was the last time 1 metropolitan area had more than 2 championships at once?

Raiders....bwwwaaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaaaa....

 

[calsnowskier]

Raiders....bwwwaaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaaaa....

Are you saying they are not on the short list of contenders this year?

I hate the tRaiders with the best of them. But you gotta recognize.

Since you gave up you don't know then...Raiders are on the upswing, probably a playoff team this year.

"probably a playoff team?"

That's somehow a contender?

Hmmmm....

cal overstated the case, my guess is playoffs this year, contenders next.

 

[calsnowskier]

The season has not started yet, so no team is a top contender yet. I would include the Raiders in the group of teams that havea chance to win it all this year. I am not predicting that they do. I am just saying they are on the short list.
