Note to BH. I was thinking of you tonight. The rain stopped at 5 P.m. and the game went, it was a perfect night for a great game of base ball. Wished you were here. Lots of red shirts here....

Well we lost to AZ - they clinched the west. Actually, I am happy for them- hell of a turn around for them this season. And the Giants August play really blew things up.

Our offense is just inconsistent and we leave too many on. Been happening all year. So many of our wins have been all pitching- games with a 1 or 2 lead. So many lost due to no run support- and I hate that all of our starters have win stats that really do not reflect their true pitching. Has to be so frustrating for both Cain and Lincecum. Pisses me off as they would be right up there with Verlander and Kershaw in the win category. But I also like both of those guys and it will be interesting which one gets the Cy Young for the NL. Thinking it will be Verlander.

I think the Braves will preval.

But I am jazzed about the play offs nonetheless.

Oh, realized that the Steelers will be on SNF- kewl, they are my team from way back, but I don't get their games unless they play Oakland or on MNF or SNF. Not as much of a pro football fan as I am with baseball. I like college ball more. But right now until the first week of November, baseball is the main event for me.

Damn, you and your partner have to come out next season for the SF opener vs. the Pirates!!! Really- take a vacation you two and come play in SF!! I'll set you up in my driveway in my RV- see, a private room with bath and everything!!!

houston cleaned house, keppinger to the giants ... i would have much rather had bourn or pence. really like bourn.

and speaking of houston, isn't it crazy how berkman went to the yankees ... couldn't do nothing. but then to the cardinals and boom! and crawford going to boston. his bat just hasn't been the same.

Do you mean there was trading? I thought the trading deadline was the end of August?

I did know this was the worst season in Houstons history and they were not AT ALL PLEASED loosing over 100 games (try being a pirate fan)......I'll have to read the sports page. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh Sweet Macele...I find especially in this thread, my mind is going as if I am a color analyst for baseball's radio broadcast and I get to typing while thinking and almost always, half of my post is missing. I have to go back and edit the post so it makes sense. No need to appologize. Now, I'll be able to understand when I read your posts, you were typing your thoughts. We have a thread stalker who loves that about us, lives baseball vicariously through the thread

. Thanks for sharing and don't stop posting.

Keppinger has not done much for us overall since he was traded to us. Beltran has been great.

I agree- Bourn or Pence would have been much better. But, I know players due have slumps and bumps. But Keppinger doesn't look all that dedicated out there- in defense as well.

Geez, SF is banged up.
