BASEBALL!

Greetings from Pittsburgh At Last....are you at the game? WE should be there

The very last thing I heard before I went to sleep last night was Bumgarner was pitching for the Giants. I had a sinking feeling. Woke up this morning, after dreaming about snow....only to here 15 seconds of baseball on the news, (i/e we've fallen off the radar, we lost again)
------

I arrive at work a few hours later, after i worked out and stuff.....and my Boss said to me "Oh, I thought you took today off to go to a Pirate game....what time is the game?" [me] 3:00p our time..........> right over her head. [her] Good!, you can help me draft this discovery until it's time to go. [me] Discovery? will that be before dark? [her] before Labor day I hope..... DAMN WORKAHOLIC!

As I am typing this, she just had a significant interruption, so I am keeping myself occupied and I tapped in on her smart phone to see we are winning 4 to 1. She has sports tap as an app on her phone! (mmm, thinking maybe I loaded that). I'm still in my bicycle to work clothes...no sense in changing, when she is writing Discovery, NO ONE see's me.....It's like theater. She always she didn't become an attorney to be an actress

uugh, 4 to 2....you're clawing your way back.......

UGH... SF stunk!! Lately, it is like watching a whole different team! Frankly, we were winning more when some of the guys that were hurt were out and replaced by rookies.

Now, Beltran is out. So is Burrell and Freddie.. and Posey...

I want a new batting coach.....

The Pirates played somr great ball during this series- I think they will take their conference and then some! Nice to see actually- been a long time for them. Andrew McCutchin is one ball player!

Well, we are still loosing to the Brewers, and we need to be beating them. I think they've given up on the dream team....as I said we are getting 15 seconds of sports coverage. Also, the ball park is selling specials again to get fan's in......and they already announced an increase in ticket prices. But realistically, can you go to any major league game and sit in the cheap seats for $8.00, a little better for $10.00 and not too bad for $12.00?

I sit in club seats and they sell for $58.00.....but I don't pay $58.....huge discount to season ticket holders, but really.....isn't that extremely affordable and I don't care if we've been the worst team in baseball for 18 years.....(hell, parking can be $25.00) of course, we ride bicycles. FREE!

I always find August to be crazy in baseball. The post-trade struggles to jell together and the (hopefully) injured players getting back always seem to have August in a mess. Teams know that the race to the play-offs is on for real.

I am not seeing the teamwork right now in SF. Just a lot of trying to figure a way to merge talent to try and make-up for deficits. What is making me nuts are the veteran players taking pitches like rookies!

SF won yesterday and drove in 5 runs- whew! But, we shall see............ today they start a series in Atlanta.

I was watching a sports talk show and they have mathmatically decided it's impossible for us now, and we will loose 90 to 95 games again. I keep meaning to look this up and figure out if that was inflamatory. The Brew Crew swept us too.

I, for one, will be very happy to see those minor league players get back up here. That's how we were winning. They played with the same fire Micheal McHenry plays with each night. He snagged two again last night. One trying to steal second on him, The Second baseman was actually waiting on the runner, the ball was so precisely thrown, and another one was someone taking too big of a lead at first.

We have the WORST hitting in baseball. I know I talked about that earlier in the season. I don't know why this hitting coach still has his job. Where we were, and where we are. Wow. Just wow. The basement Bucs.

I'll keep going to the games and cheering them on. I can't help but think how dissapointing this is for the players.

They come home today (to rain)....hopefully its better than the last homestand.

August baseball always makes me crazy. The BoSox just dropped 2 of 3 to Seattle. We play 3 in 2 days with Tampa Bay and then the Yanks come to town.

The Blue Jays are surging out of nowhere. The White Sox are making a run for it. The White Sox? Really?

It's August.

Let the fun begin.
