Hey now. I'm still a Boston Red Sox fan even though I moved to San Diego. lol

SF lost 3 to Houston! The worse team in the National League!! Poor bruce Bochy- he couldn't respond much to media after yesterday's game.

No bats, no bats, NO BATS!!! And veteran players batting like rookies!!! but, I know my guys are frustrated.... so am I!!!

Even with key injuries, we have some very talented players and they are just not getting it done. I didn't expect going back to the WS, but, thought we would win our conference. Who knows....

But, by tonight, I will be back to my undying rooting for these guys...

Always stick by your team.

When I was *living* at the ball park last week, some jerk was sitting in a season ticket holders seat. You know the kind.....faded give away t- shirt, with the name of a player
who we got rid of years ago, and the jerk is 50 pounds heavier than when he got the shirt. (the give away shirts come in one size XL). Ok. First inning, the pitcher gives up
a hit that Ronnie Cedeno dove for and didn't come up with,
so *Jerk* starts yelling *BOOOOOO, you suck* after the noise quiets down a little I stand up, turn around and scream *We don't BOO the home team*. I looked right at him.

. I did, however, refrain from pointing at him. He never made another sound the rest of the game.

Am I a Bully?

No way I will leave my Giants behind! Been rooting for them since 1958 though it all.

Actually, when we go through times like this, I get more into the games- the players are so frustrated with themselves.

This is the time of the season when I get more intense about watching other teams when I get their games that are in close races for first. That time of the season!!

It was so damn hard to see Lincecum out there yesterday- no run support and not on his game as usual- no room for error. And you could see how crappy the guys were feeling about another game that they just could not get even in scoring position.

Thinking a lot about the 9/1 call-ups-

I hope I catch a Red Sox game this weekend with my TV package. Saw clips about the Pirates win yesterday- WOOT!!!

Hey, hey, we are heading into September..... baseball fans month of intensity!!!

I was worried about us going to Houston. You know, the bottom feeders. Having been the bottom feeders for 18 years, I'd prefer to think of the Astro's as the spoilers, after they just woooped the Giants butts.

I bicycled by the ball park on my way home last night, and they have new banners up with pictures of the minor league
call ups. In our case, rightfully so, we won many games with them in the first half of the year. Our slide began when our starters returned. So September just may be exciting around here.

Did anyone watch any of the little league world series?
Fun!

A new baseball movie called "Moneyball" with Brad Pitt is coming out. I dig baseball and baseball movies, too.

.....sorry to derail.....

Oh, how I would love to see our starters back!!

Yup, Houston smacked us around- and now the Cubs have taken 2 of 3!!! It is just awful!!! I hope SF wins today vs the Cubs... this is heartbreaking to watch!!

And this weekend we play the Dbacks who are 6 games ahead of SF and won their last 8 games. Very hot streak! Another team that has been in the cellar most of the time coming on strong. The way SF is playing, I think it is going to be a long and painful series. Now it isn't just the problems with the offense- a whole lot of sloppy play going on. Both Lincecum and Voglesong had mediocre games this series.

Beltran was booed yesterday with all of his strike-outs. Afterall, we got him to be a bat and took over his big contract- so it appears people are just frustrated as hell with him. Keppinger is finally doing some things with hits, but the rest of the guys need to be able to get on base before he hits!!!

Oh well.... yes, there is next year. Kind of funny, I am more glued to games right now because I keep thinking this spell will be broken. Can't be a fair weather fan.

No, didn't see little league WS- that would be fun!
