Ugly out
But it's an out.

nope
Hudson just grabbed the pop-up; two outs, none on, should only give up a couple this inning then.
So if Hudson is a Gold Glover...
...does that mean Reynolds and Drew are Lead Glovers? Or what...?

Yeah a few different defensive plays and this is a 4 - 0 game.
Randy would pitch 4 or 5 innings with 6 - 7 Ks, that's a success.

Has every

One base-runner. That'll help. Be nice to see him go five and have a chance at the W. Depends on a quick fourth though.

Alright... so I guess
everytime they "check in with Bob Fitzgerald", we're not seeing/hearing it because MLB is streaming the direct video feed from the ballpark, rather than thru the station?

Do have to say

However, Hudson rescued us.

And...
it goes up from there. Whaddya mean, tired arm? Three days rest is all any pitcher needs, son.

J-Up's first move on Rowand's hit was moving back. Then he moves in and he should have just let the ball drop in front of him for a single. But, he cheeses and it results in a double. Then O-Dawg makes a great play to erase Rowand for scoring position ( where he should never have been).
I'll take O-Dawg on a three year $36 mil extension. We need his D with all these other young guys figuring out how to play.
Unfortunately
I don't know that $12 mil a year is going to do it. O-Dawg wants to get paid.

you would hope
I think Utley got a 7yr $85M deal or something like that. That roughly breaks out to $12M/yr so you would think that ODawg could take that payday with ease.
I think the length of the contract would be interesting. He probably wants a longer term deal then a $$ deal. For example, he would take $10M/yr for 5 years instead of $12M/yr for 3

Aw!
Okay, maybe we've spent a lot of time watching Giants fans eat today, but that kid is pretty cute.

Is this normal?
I mean showing fans chowing down all game?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
I watched The Colour of Magic, and I did laugh at the one line where Sean Astin seemed to put a touch more emphasis on potatoes than was necessary...
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."

No, you don't, she was the most irritating cow I've ever met.

She once told me every colour of blue nail polish

Robby, Robby, Robby.....
Almost a DP, though.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Ok, back now
The wife needed the puter so I couldn't watch the last 1.5 innings.
I'd like to see a few more innings, but glad Randy is in line for the win.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!

Too many pitches for my liking, but the bottom line of no runs is more impt.

Have we started sacrificing virgins for Lyon's 9th?

In the replay...
...I'm thinking that play by Rowand must have HURT... the guy's got bruised ribs, right?
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Come on, Qualls!
Though, I think the announcers are rehearsing their Webb spiel with Qualls....

Good decision by Droo.

Guh.
So we got all the bad pitching and offense out of the system in the last game against the Rockies...now the defense blunders come in spades.
Grrrr
How many "breaks" are we suppossed to spot these guys?

How can we
Play such sound fundamental baseball for the first two weeks, and be so utterly, utterly sucky today?
What the hell...

Where did THAT miss??

what a load of crap.

A plate at the plate would work, too.

Looks like they're conceding the run, though.

What was that barrel roll of a slide?
Justin Upton thinks that was a cheap move!
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Argh....
Screw you, bullpen!!
Oh, and screw you, ump!!
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Why the hell isn't CJ throwing home on that play?
Corner IFs should always throw to home in that situation.
Sheesh.
Because
He wouldn't have got him, the run would have scored and we'd still have had the bases loaded with no outs.
Should have been a double-play, if Qualls had been covering first.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 15, 2008 12:57 AM EDT up reply actions
In that situation a corner IF is supposed to throw home. Period. It's a force play at the plate.
You don't let that run score and have a very solid chance at a double play going 3-2-3.
Only makes sense
If you know you can get the runner. If not, it's utterly pointless.
I know you hate Jackson, and everything he does, but you really should take the blinkers off occasionally.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 15, 2008 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions
It has nothing to do with my feelings toward CJ or any other player. That's the play you make in that situation. Period. End of story. It's fundamental baseball at it's finest.
Finest?
Yes, make a throw that, in all likelihood, gets nobody out... That's the kind of play that puts the "mental" in fundamental. :-)

How is it that the announcers don't seem to notice when the Giants batters foul off a pitch on a hit-and-run?

Because
THEY ARE MENTALLY RETARDED.

Just joining as I was listening/peaking in here while watching the Suns cough up a big lead and then rally in the 4th to beat the Warriors and eliminate them.
Not a pretty game here with the errors and all the unearned runs. Yuck!
