They have a stretch where they go from @SF(3), @AZ(2), STL(4), @WASH(3), @CIN(3), @SD(3) with 2 off days.

Giants make final slew of roster call-ups. Recalled Otero, Runzler and Burriss. To make room for Burriss on the 40-man, Giants DFA Eric Hacker.

I just heard this...

Not that I care about Hacker....

But Burriss?????

Yikes.

I think Gonnor's lack of a call-up tells us all we need to know about his future with the club...

ManBur has the late game speed that Ford provided late in the 2010 season, Gillaspie does not have that. Doubt Boch will use him for anything more than that. That being said, gotta feel crappy for Connor not to get the call when so many other of his brethren did.

LOLPosey, could lose out on the batting title to Melky.

I honestly don't think anyone will catch He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Fucking douche.

Another ROOGY, LOOGY, and PR. Makes sense. I suspect SOMEONE will manage the shit outta them.

I hear Burriss is the new leftfielder.

Hank Shulman:

I asked Huff if he cleared the rail in walk off celebration yesterday: "I waited till everyone cleared and walked with my cane up the stairs"

LOL. I was looking for Huff to jump the rail. Did not see him.

Actually, McCutchen just passed him last night (.347 vs. .346)

So there you go. We'll see if McCutchen can keep it up. I'm doubtful.

 

[MarcoPolo]

I hope he'll be able to. If not, I hope MLB has the balls to deny the award to a guy still serving suspension for PEDs.

 

[TheSaboteur]

I think it would be pretty funny if that one suspended guy won the batting title.

McCutchen just slid down past him (.345 vs. .346).

Billingsly out for the year, may need TJ surgery.

Yikes. I always fear that one of our guys will go down like that. I guess we already had one with Wilson.

Kenley Jansen has a really scary situation. He could come back later this month, but he can't play right now because with the blood thinning medication he is on, he could bleed to death were he to be struck by a ball. He can't even sit in the Dodger dugout right now.
