WOOT! SFbeat LA, 5-0!! After taking 3 of 4 against SD! I wanted to go to one of the games in this big rivalry (Giants-Dodgers), but can't. But dammit, I am going to a game in August!!

Hey- it looks like the BoSox are going strong and so are the Pirates! Sometimes I get a game or two of theirs.

I need some orange shoe laces....

I took tomorrow off so I could go to the afternoon game. I don't know what it is about afternoon baseball that I love so much, and it's going to be 95 and dangerous humidity. Betcha my butt will be inside the club with the rest of the fans for the comfort of the a/c......but thats not baseball. I can sit at home and do that. Pirates are in first place for the first time since 1991
Clint Hurdle should get manager of the year, no matter where the Bucco's end up.We have tickets for the remainder of the home series. This division is tight. The St. Louis Cardnials roll in to town Friday. They are a finess team. They make few mistakes.I'm looking for the games to be close and the heat to make the players *edgy*.

Life has been so good this summer. I haven't enjoyed baseball this much, since, well, I don't when.

That darn Lyle Overbay (overpaid you may know him as in my rants) We are nearing the trade deadlines, and I SO want the owners to trade his sorry ass and his outrageous salary, and wouldn't you know it, all of a sudden he can hit

WTH!

YES, the Pirates are in First!!! Lookin' good!

It is so much more exciting when divisions are tight, I think. I love close games that end up being won on a whole lot of mental determination really.

I am having a great time with the Giants taking the Dodgers in a series this week. Hope they win again today. My favorite SF pitcher is starting- Lincecum. Jeff Keppinger will be playing today for SF after his trade. We need his bat!! Our offense is just not consistent, although better lately. Had a 5-0 shutout against LA for the first game of the series. And Belt returned to the club yesterday and got a homer - first up, first pitch!!

Have fun at the games! ugh.. yes, the heat!

Wait I want orange shoe laces... wait that would clash with my red leather sneakers. Scrap that idea. Heck this week I would just love to have time to watch a game. I watched the FIFA final on Sunday with some girlfriends. I inwardly whined cause I coulda watched the latter half of a game, any game, on Sunday after that...but I had company. I mentioned, in my most cheerful voice, we could watch baseball. And so after that was shot down we sat about and chatted. I was still inwardly whining like a puppy that wants to play ball.

Enjoy Lincecum. I like watching him.

Just sharin'....

Dominique · 07-20-2011, 02:12 PM

Today was my 22nd game I've attended so far.

Yeah baby, love my Bucco's. And These tickets were bought last year. Who ever guessed they'd be winning like this.

OK, So I survived the 95 degree heat, I drank five, 20oz. bottles of water @ $3.75 each....is that insane or what?....anyhow, I knew I had to drink water because if I didn't, I'd get that nasty ass headache and the dizzy stuff.

Loyal fan that I am, I am proud to report, I did not once go inside the club for A/C. I sat in my box seat and baked better than a lay's potato chip. Yes, I wore sunscreen, and yes I wore an ugly hat.....but it was not enough. I just took a precautionary motrin and am currently chugging IRONMAN PERFORM (GNC's version of gatorade),

Now for some base ball news. Pirates lost. Errors! Once again we had our short stop and third baseman backing up the play crawling around on their hands and knees to get the ball......three errors.

Overpaid did nothing today, but leave two runners on base twice....and got booed for it. (yes, I was one who was very vocal) We gave away the game. I hate when we do that.

It's anybodys division. The reds, the cardinals, the brewers or the pirates....a slump right now, will put any of the four mentioned teams into the basement as we are all tied for first as I type this.

Enjoy your evening games! I have a feeling I'll be in bed earlier than usual.

LOL- no takers, eh?

Damn, the Dodgers beat us 1-0- no score until the 7th (homerun by Navarro)! Lincecum was great as usual (love the "Freak"), but Kershaw was better- hell of a pitcher (12 strikeouts, Lincecum had 7). sad loss for our Timmy!

Again, our offense just didn't get the job done! Keppinger had his SF debut after flying in from Houston in the AM! Had a delayed flight to boot- but he did nothing with the bat just like everyone else.

We play the brewers at home on Thursday evening.

I think SF will take the division- but unless we start hitting consistently, we won't get much further.

Nope no takers. I am alone in my love for Baseball. One friend said she would rather watch paint dry....silly little girl.

I am quite fond of the nickname the Freak.

Kershaw is a hell of a pitcher. I don't get to watch the Dodgers often, but that kid can throw. His stats are solid. He has been a Dodger since the beginning, if I am not mistaken.

I am sad with where the Jays are... sad sad sad Canadian. But whatever, GO JOSE!!!

Ahhhh... I am *hopeful* for a part of a game on Sunday.
