No one said it'd be easy winning this division...

 

[Stokes1931]

2 hits

2 lousy hits

2 lousy stinking hits

And nothing for XBH

And only one walk

edit: two walks

 

[msgkings322]

Ump missing lots of strike calls on (his) left side of the plate

[Stokes1931]

Back to 2nd place, I guess.

Ain't gonna lie, Thor is nasty as hell today

What a stud. 23 too.

It won't be easy to clinch a WC spot, either.

 

[msgkings322]

Still showing nice glove work today, at least. Pitching good. I'd say the hitting sucks but this is one of those games where I think it's good pitching (Thor) more than shitty hitting

You mean for the Dodgers?

 

[msgkings322]

tzill is so approving right now

Giants and Dodgers. The division and WC races should be close and go down to the last week.

This is probably true. Kershaw looks like he may come back this year for one thing.

I think the Giants are already on the plane to LA as far as this game goes.

 

[msgkings322]

Any word on if they are using this day off to skip the 5th starter and go with Bum, Cueto, and Moore in LA?

If they don't they are being stupid.

Edit: ok I looked, they aren't being stupid

 

[shrksfn9192]

Three consecutive well-pitched games by Samardzija, on a positive note.

 

[tzill]

This is just a great phuking game.

Hmm....I feel you are trying to be sarcastic, but this is exactly the kind of game you love.

It will be interesting to see who will start when the 5th spot comes up next Sat. vs. ATL.

Also, the next homestand vs. ATL and AZ will be big before going to Chicago. Can't be screwing around and losing to those teams at home.

 

[msgkings322]

Now that's a closer right there.

I was not being sarcastic. It's a great game. Two pitchers dealing. One mistake.

My guess is Peavy.
