Posted May 29, 2007 at 11:13 pm

Here’s a recipe for losing a ballgame that includes one nutbag umpire and one emotionally fragile pitcher:

Induce one ground-ball-hold-the-runner surprise.
Infuse another balk.

Lincecum Shots (Almost EEEEEE!)

Posted May 7, 2007 at 7:52 pm

Posted today, mostly written yesterday:
Mike Krukow said before tonight’s game that he expected Tim Lincecum either to get rocked in the first inning of his major league debut or to strike out the side on nine pitches. Therefore, when Phillies leadoff hitter Jimmy Rollins took an 0-1 pitch for a ball, I knew that meant it was time to go “Uh-oh.” Rollins ended up nudging …

Finally…Eliezer (Beat LA)

Posted May 5, 2007 at 11:35 pm

Bruce Bochy displayed his managerial stupidity once again. Why would you bring in Alfonzo to pinch-hit in a pivotal situation when you have Sweeney and Niekro? Well, either way, it worked, and Bochy has been bailed out.

Tim Lincecum is being called up. That makes me very happy. DO you know why? If not, let me throw the number .29 at you. That was his ERA at AAA.

At Municipal Stadium (Beat LA)

Posted May 2, 2007 at 10:52 pm

I was at Municipal Stadium today for the SJ Giants game, courtesy of the miracle of free tickets at Costco. While there, I noticed two things.They raised ticket prices. Not that that matters, seeing as though they’re still cheap and my tickets were fre…

I Hate You, Bullpen (Beat LA)

Posted May 1, 2007 at 11:32 pm

Once again, the bullpen lets us down. I thought it was doing a fairly good job of not sucking this year, but it still is the bullpen, the Giants’ weakest spot. Of course, there’s also the hitting, but that’s a different story.
