[Melena]

nate ze great. giants winrar.

Reds have to take advantage and beat vogelsong. Now they get the kid today against Mike leake. Not even worth the effort getting my hopes up.

Stubbs struck out three times yesterday. I believe all were with men on. His only hit, that I recall, came with two outs and no one on. Useless.

11+ Ks tonight was God damn embarrassing.

I'd lime to think Travis wood pitched a good game, but I dont think anyone would say the lineup the giants put out there was worthy of three runs.

least it's not the Braves lineup, Headspace. You still have Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto lol.

We've got... Freeman, old man Chipper, and our catcher. We also have the rotting corpse of Dan Uggla, but meh. WE SCORED 11 RUNS AGAINST THE ASTROLOLOLS!

The news on Freddy Sanchez's shoulder isn't good:

"At this point, it’s not known how severely Sanchez is hurt, but if it’s truly a shoulder dislocation as opposed to a separation, hold your breath. In most cases, a dislocation is accompanied by a ligament tear that requires surgery. And if that’s the case, Sanchez will join Posey on the out-for-the-season list. An MRI will be performed Saturday, but even in a best-case scenario — no serious structural damage – it’s probably a month or two or three, because a dislocated shoulder not only takes time to heal but stabilize to prevent recurrence. Since it’s Freddy’s throwing shoulder, it’s only natural to fear the worst.


Of course, with his injury history, you cringe every time you see Sanchez dive for a ball. He already has a tempermental, surgically repaired left shoulder."


And now we've signed Bill Hall off of the scrap heap pile. I'd almost rather go out there with 8 men on the field.

i think that means the giants best hitter is batting something retarded like .252

Only reason the Braves are winning too. Braves/Phillies are basically the same team, except the Phillies actually have stars that could break out and roll hardcore (Rollins, Utley, Howard). I'm sick of hearing PHillies fans bitch, just like I was sick of Sox fans early this year bitching when they were terrible. It's a 162 game season, folks.

I know it's well known but SF is still pretty classy.

Besides Sabaen's torn labia a few weeks ago.

You would actually be surprised at the number of people that get World Series rings every year. I remember when the Phillies won, I think around 100 people got a ring

Hey man,

Looks like Uggla's found his spot in the lineup. What concerns me is what happens when Heyward comes back, not so much where he hits in the lineup, but that Hinske's been clutch as usual.

As i type, McCann strikes again baby.

If Uggla is in fact finally out of his slump(which he appears to be), I am very optimistic toward our lineup with Schafer leading off.

As the beard grows, so does his power.

Uggla won't be hitting 2nd all year. The spot in the line-up really shouldn't affect a hitter that badly. Yes, Uggla's numbers are better since being thrown in the 2 spot, but I think it's because he's not sitting up there with an 0-2 count from the get go. He's had a better approach at the plate.

And Schafer's been pretty good in the leadoff since he can be a threat with the bunt single, or walk. It's weird, though.. since his average blows pretty hardcore. Curious to see where Prado and Heyward end up in the lineup though.

Also, it's the Astros. Take these numbers very lightly.

[Moss]

I was going to make the "it's the Astros" point as well, but in Uggla's case it is irrelevant. Yeah technically it "shouldn't" effect hitters where they are in the lineup, but it does and has for a long time for many players.

[Akiyama]

Eh. Still think it's the Astros. Until Uggla goes on a week tear without sucking horribly, I'll still hate him.
