Come on Zito, finish this thing.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Oh come on Scutaro, you had that!

 

[Stokes1931]

Well done tonight, Zeets! Not as short a leash as I would have liked, but well done just the same!

 

[dredinis21]

With a 5-0 lead, you can afford a longer leash with Zito. If he lets two on, pull him...but him and Sanchez have been dealing.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Aww man.

 

[dredinis21]

Crap, I think I just jinxed that....

 

[Stokes1931]

Get "frozen patty" OUT of there!!

A short leash is "you let one guy on, you are out. Nice work."

Bochy let him stay on one batter too long, and now the bullpen is trying to bring back torture.

 

[ColinCoby]

Well this isn't any fun.

 

[TheSaboteur]

im actually worried about Romo here. when was the last time he didn't hang a slider?

 

[ColinCoby]

Please Romo...please have your slider working tonight.

Of all the pitchers on the staff to err on the side of pulling him too early......especially given that Bochy used a short leash with Cain and Lincecum in back-to-back games.

 

[Stokes1931]

Is this a baseball game or a chess match? With Romo's penchant for gopher balls lately, I am nervous, but hopeful.

COme on, end it here!

 

[ColinCoby]

I can't believe they almost turned it.

 

[gp956]

Whew!

 

[gp956]

Giants Win!

 

[ColinCoby]

Yes!!

Milk!! Chicken dinner!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Milk. Shaken, not stirred.

 

[gp956]

Zito had gotten that era down near 4.10......

Good win Giants. I'm hoping you sweep, and i think there's a real possibility you do that. Is Posey gonna be back tomorrow?
