[tzill]

Wow, we're all wrong. Here it is boys.

SS Renteria
2B Sanchez
1B Huff
C Posey
LF Burrell
RF Ross
3B Sandoval
CF Rowand
P Bumgarner

Wow. Panda in for UUU -- surprised. Towers still on the bench -- double surprised.

Odd thought: do we bring in UUU for defensive purposes at 3b late in the game?

id think Fontenot would be the defensive upgrade

UUU must have aggravated whatever it is that was bothering him. Either way, he's looked lost at the plate. I am surprised about Torres though.

I used to think that too.

Unfortunately Mike has looked as lost at 3B as Brooks Conrad looked at 2B. Okay, maybe not that bad. Anyway, Uribe, if healthy, is the best defensive option at third. He gives you a shortstop's range and arm at 3B.

Just a fun note...

The two Phillie fans I work with are not so happy. They both are looking at tonight as a must win, but do not like the matchup.

Depression is setting in

They should try no championships in their area for sixteen years. No, the Earthquakes don't count. MLS:Soccer::NBDL:Basketball. Luckily, there are actually fun things to do in California.

+1

Things are looking up. Sharks good. Giants good. Niners meh. Warriors right direction?

Could be better, could be worse

Absolutely. I'm definitely more of a glass-half full type of person, and even a pessimist should see the positive aspects of Bay Area sports right now.

Those east coast sports fans are never happy. I told one of my college buddies that I would see a championship from each of the big 4 (Giants, Niners, Warriors, Sharks) in the same year at some point in my lifetime. I'm prone to hyperbole. I'll settle for them winning at any point in my lifetime. Thanks for 25%, Eddie D.

Getting closer.....Go Giants go!

It's too late. The fix is already on. Not only are the umpires on our side (doubtful, but at least somewhat believable to tin hat wearers), but now the Philly players are taking fastballs right down the middle (unbelievable).

And Utley purposely making errors is like seeing smoke from the grassy knoll...don't you think?

lol, yeah, because Utley is definitely not a competitive guy! Give me a break Tito, that guy is as intense as they come. I'd LOVE to have Utley on the Giants.

EDIT: Damn, I'm trying to get rtiff68 over here. I remember he was a good poster back in the day before Tito came.....I think he got tired of arguing with Tito and went to lurker status or just flat out left.

 

[ColinCoby]

Mitch Williams is a total moron.

BTW: "Whoever wins tonight wins the series." I fear this might be true. Gotta kick Blanton's ass tonight, and take some pressure off the kid.

Can the Giants hitter wake up?

 

[filosofy29]

5-4 Giants.....

This series is free advertising for San Francisco tourism. The ballpark/city couldn't look any more beautiful.

I'm nervous

 

[ColinCoby]

Thank you umpire...

Glad I'm not the only one. Hoping Bum gets through this 1st inning...and the Giants make Blanton cry.

2 outs.
