Wade gets first crack at 1b. We should be ok, and if we are not it's my fault (and Whiteside's).

I will be there.

6-1 good guys.

I know baseball has been around for a while but seeing the rivalry being around for 130 years just feels weird.

Saw both of these teams battle it out before they moved west. The Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants. Went to games in the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field. Never ventured to Yankee Stadium. Still can't stand them!

Not a Yankees' fan either. Stinks that they are getting hot right now.

Well, at the very least got his pitch count up.

Belt makes his absence felt early.

Crawdad!

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice of Yaz to maybe start showing signs of waking up.

 

[calsnowskier]

Crawdad!

Unfortunately, defensive heroics are ignored in MVP voting.

Of course, Longo insists on continuously hitting the snooze button…

Rogers has been uncharacteristically shaky recently.

 

[LHG]

Time to see if Doval can handle the pressure of the closer's role. He's got traffic on the bases, 1 out and a 2 run lead.

 

[LHG]

At least that is an out. One left. Let's do this Doval.

 

[LHG]

Ball game! Giants maintain a 2 game lead over the Dodgers with 5 left to play.
Padres now under .500 for the season.

Not sure many of you knew that Giants HOFer Duke Snider spent some time with the doggies before he came to the Giants…

4 with 4 to play.
