I'm excited about the All-Star game, too!

hey, hockey is kewl... I bet if I lived where it was big, I would watch it.

Damn, I miss the old lesbian SF neighborhood bars like Maudes- know there would still be we lesbina loving baseball fans gathered round watching the All-Star game and fast-pitch women's college World Series games, plus, now the WNBA!! GO STORM!

Way Kewl! Have a good time!

Ugh, the giants were pathetic against the twins last night! Poor Bumgarner was taken out in the 1st after the Twins got 8 runs!! Wasn't pretty.

I hope it is a different story tonight- but the Giants have lost 5 in a row, have key players out and look like the don't know which end of a bat to hold. My guys need to re-group! But I have been a Giants fan since I was 7 or 8 years old, so, I'm sticking with them! We have been through thick and thin.

It will be interesting to see how the Sox play the field without the DH and with Ortiz on a tear as of late. 9 games without a DH.

I have heard some weird configurations i.e. Ortiz at first, Gonzalez at third and Youkilis in the outfield. Lord help us on that one LOL.

And our pitching staff is dwindling due to injuries. The call ups have yielded some good stuff, some not so good. I'm expecting the management to be standing out on Yawkey Way saying to passersby, hey, you wanna pitch tonight? LOL.

Whew! The Giants took the 2nd game of the series against the twins! Looked like themselves out there again. But still not hitting all that great overall. Vogglesong was great- love his come back story.

But my favorite rookie, Brandon Crawford made 2 errors! And has not been hitting as well. I really want him to stay on the roster. Yes, a Bay Area boy!!

The Twins, however, have been very hot lately- so who knows about today.

Now keep in mind, we were awful for so long, nothing should have surprised us. In a game where our starting pitcher got real far behind in the fifth, and the bull pen was very beat up, the back up catcher came in pitched the rest
of the game. Turns out, he often threw batting practice.....lol

Let the games begin!

We went thru our share of horror years until the "Believe" season. Baseball is fun when folks catch the spirit and visibly support the team. And I think it helps the guys try a little harder too.

Who is Vogglesong and what did he comeback from? My next thing to google.

Vogglesong is a starting pitcher for the Giants that has had ups and downs in MLB for about 10 years and was thought to be out as a starter. He has been throwing great stuff for the Giants- and a damn good hitter!!

Today we play the Indians. I'm just jazzed that the Giants got out of the losing streak they were in and Lincecum, too! His was brilliant yesterday against the twins after having lousy games since late May. He had 12 strike outs and almost had a shutout. Damn, if the twins didn't get a run after Lincecum was taken out after the 7th and over a hundred pitches. But they won.

I am really enjoying how these guys are keeping it together with all the injuries. I doubt they go any further than one series in the play-offs, but I think they will be in at least one play-off series. Not hitting with any consistency, though. Not even Sandovol after getting back from injury. Her is our only real power hitter. Funny, I don't miss the Bonds days-I really don't like the one star thing- it is a team sport! He was watching the game at AT&T yesterday and I almost feel like he ought not show his face at the park!

I love seeing all the sell out games- the Giants play has brought some needed business to SF merchants. And this month, the giants have been doing a lot of ads for Pride. Kinda kewl.

Gotta go look up info/stats on the Indians- don't know them well.
