This is just comedy gold, as always. <br /><br />Can we get an undercover agent to tweak Dave Cameron into some trash talk of Matt Cain? Just to help him out a bit.

Hope the Giants can keep the mojo going and win the Dodgers series particularly.<br /><br /> I'm interested in your thoughts about this proposal I heard on the radio:<br /><br /> MLB should consider reducing the length of games from 9 innings to 7 innings.<br /><br /> Perception is, that the typical game can often stretch to 3 hours, and the typical attention span of the Gen Y and Millennial generation is much shorter than that.<br /> Other potential benefit is less wear and tear on pitchers, where fatigue becomes a problem at the end of a 182 game season + ? post season games.<br /> <br /> I know the traditionalists would find this pill somewhat less appetizing to swallow, but what if the regular season was 7 innings and the post season was 9 innings? The extra innings would still apply in both scenarios for tie game situations.<br /><br />DocGroonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-36321576217400342242014-05-06T09:37:00.812-07:002014-05-06T09:37:00.812-07:00They got to the soft tossing lefty.

Cain must be feeling snakebit watching the team score runs that he could have benefited from.Too bad Sanchez can't play another position to get his bat in the lineup more often. I've never seen a team have a home record like the Dbacks, last I checked it was 2 wins 14 losses.

The Giants having used the whole bench, reduced to having pitches as pinch hitters, Sanchez was taking a beating at C, and things were not looking up. Yet they were laughing, having fun, yelling "Viva Matchi". This team knows how to hang in and win ballgames.<br /><br />Hector = clutch<br /><br />Matchi is a hell of an athlete. <br /><br />Really, it passed my mind with the Giants ahead 2-0 in the first, that the Giants had won the game. And they had, it just took a little longer.Monterey Sharkhttp://www.eollinger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-88079520807824774792014-05-05T22:37:47.817-07:002014-05-05T22:37:47.817-07:00shocked that you are still awake
