I'm suffering terribly from this extremely high humidty, to the point I wanted to leave in the second inning, and that never happens. Glad I stayed. We had 16 hits! (only five runs)

OMG we had 5 errors in one inning, they only marked us for three, but it was 5. Home team gets the benefit of the doubt. It was so sad, our short stop was crawling on his hands and knees to retrieve a ball he initially muffed up, then the third baseman who was backing up the play, muffed it twice (once trying to catch it, and dropped it when trying to throw it) so short stop went crawling over to it, but the left feilder came all the way in and grabbed it, and made a laser throw to first and OVERBAY dropped it.

Houstons catcher had a rough game and I'll be shocked if he is not concussed. He did a fantastic job of protecting the plate when thirdbase minorleague call up Harrison tried to score, Harrison broke his nose on the play. Carlos Corporan, the catcher...took three foul balls off his face mask and was very shaken. In the 8th innng, the pirates attempted a steal and Corporan was still seeing stars I guess, he threw the ball, as if he was supposed to, to short stop.....They came out and checked on him and he stayed in the game.

Yes Atlast, I saw where Jim Leyland had his team prepard to beat you guys. I read the recap and giggled, I could just see jim hiding in the corner of the dug out getting a cigarette in without getting caught because he was so nervous!

I also saw Ryan Vogelsong got the nod for all stars. We still love him here.

Anyone see the game today? It was the Root sports selection of the day.
I wish I could have gone to a game today- BUT SF just lost a nail-biter to SD!! ARG!!!
One of those games that I hate to see my guys lose, but a damn good ballgame!

Yes, Vogie is in! Plus, Lincecum, Wilson and Cain. Looks like the National league team is top heavy with SF pitchers. Damn, I just know that Posey and Freddie Sanchez might very well have made it on. Sanchez might be back to play in late August- he's recovering well. Posey has his cast off and says he is out of pain entirely. I think he has a long way back and he may not ever be the player he was. That was a very bad injury. But, we shall see- it's the majors and injuries can be heartbreaking.

Yes, the Pirates seem to be doing well! Hey, ya' nevah' know! They could go far! believe me, many people didn't think SF would have even be in the WS last season, let alone, take it.
