BASEBALL!

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'....

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.

raining heavily.......most likely a delay. hope it rains long enough to cool it off, not make it worse

Dominique · 07-23-2011, 04:40 AM

Good morning!

Finally the game got going, but the cardnials scored four runs in the first inning.....and we couldn't mount the big come back....6 to 5....with more rain, not enough to cool it off, only made it worse.

Now, the Giants are playing the brewers and we need the giants to pick it up. The brewers have a great offense and can kill you with those bats.
I hope you can watch it on TV Atlast. It should be good games. Both first place teams in the division...(well, pirates are hanging on by half a game)thats how insanely close this race is........

LOL... you bet I am watching my guys against the Brewers! We got 'em yesterday! Great game. yes, those bats! Our bullpen is the solution to those bats. Damn, though, SF has got to get hot on offense or no way will we do well in the play-offs.

After dropping two straight to the Cards, (remember I said they play baseball close to perfect) Clint Hurdle (Our Manager) decided it was time to force them to make errors. We played recklessly aggressive on those basepads, and it worked. They made throwing errors and mental errors, and we eeeked out a win to avoid a sweep and thanks to your Giants beating the Brew Crew, we hold first place by % points.

Pittsburghers raised the Jolly Rogers!.........(smile)
