Man, these things are getting harder to write by the day. Blogging about your favorite team is great and all when they are winning, but losing stinks an so does writing about it. I don't know what's more demoralizing, a 9-2 blowout loss, or a game like this where a win is within reach the whole game but you increasingly realize it's really out of reach. Anyway, Matt Cain can't pitch a shutout every game and Pablo Sandoval can't be the whole offense which pretty much sums up why the Giants lost this one. Key Lines:
Pablo Sandoval- 2 for 3, HR, BB. BA= .314. Pablo is having a fine season, but looking at him last night, I think it's a race against time to see if he stay below last year's weight all season. Man, Pablo ain't small!
Matt Cain- 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.00. As frequently happens, a tough first inning doomed Cain even though he ended up with a QS.
The Loss dropped the Giants a full 2 games behind the D'Backs in the NL West as the Dangerous Ones hung on to edge the Mets 4-3.
Tim Lincecum tries to be the stopper tonight facing Javier Vazquez.

The Giants may stink, but hopefully you keep up the writeups DrB.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I want to believe the offense can't stay this bad. On the other hand, they really aren't doing much to show otherwise.
hey doc,
ReplyDeletecan you be the first to stop using this "stopper" nonsense?
cain was the stopper...this team has no offense
