It's only the middle of the first, but I'm already amped enough that I know I'm not going to sleep tonight until this one is over.
I haven't been this excited about a Giants' rookie since.... never.

Game Over
Last night I turned off the MLB.tv broadcast in the middle of the ninth. I knew we would lose. It didn't feel good, but I knew it.
This bullpen is incapable of keeping the other team off the scoreboard long enough for this (terrible) offense to put some runs up in a clutch situation.

What a day for Fred
Fred Lewis hit for the cycle today. The triple and the homer were the first of his MLB career. Hitting for the cycle when you can still count your MLB at bats on your fingers and toes is a little like losing your virginity to Carmen Electra.
That was a strange outfield today.

WTF?
A hit and run with Vizquel/Aurilia that leaves Bonds to lead of the next inning... brilliant!
What was Bochy thinking on this one?

Homegrown Hitting Help
Nate Schierholtz is tearing things up in Fresno. From Baseball America:
The 23-year-old Schierholtz raised his average 74 points and doubled his doubles total lasts week, while hitting an unbelievable .545/.559/.879. He led the PCL in average, slugging, hits (18), doubles (six) and extra-base hits (eight).
Running the wrong way
Would Dave Roberts have caught the liner off Reyes' bat last night? It's a difficult play for sure, but Linden's lunge towards homeplate was foolish.
Zito looked good, he had his curveball working exceptionally well last night. Interesting to see how often he uses it. In the sixth, he came out and threw only fastballs with the rare changeup, until a run scored and he was in trouble. Then he went back to the curve. He humiliated Easley with it, but Molina couldn't handle the spin in the dirt.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, just closed on a new home.

14-13
Coming down from the Lincecum euphoria...
Matt Cain finally paid for his early season control issues. He only got 9 outs, giving up four walks, eight hits, and seven earned runs. He did have one highlight reel moment, a buckling curve to Chase Utley in the first. But it was apparent from the get-go that Cain was in trouble, he started the first three hitters of the game 2-0.
