Like Buscher and that pitcher the Reds picked up, lefty I think. Even Bocock. Misch I knew would be picked up, but some of them were head scratchers. <br /><br />Yeah though big shocker, fuuny how quick a player could fall from graces. But as I noted a while back, the next cut would hurt some, no matter who.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-47720002155672683712013-07-13T23:25:58.715-07:002013-07-13T23:25:58.715-07:00You called it!!!You called it!!!obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-40519068907712445312013-07-13T23:25:07.910-07:002013-07-13T23:25:07.910-07:00Missed Lincecums no hitter by one game!!!

I think they still like Pill. Sanchez had issues all season, so 60 him seems possible. And we will have this issue again when Vogie returns. <br /><br />There is also talk about interest in our relievers, maybe a trade? Lopez seems the most likely if so, though they could trade Romo and make Lincecum the closer at some point, with Casilla taking over for now.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-88628586943894781992013-07-13T14:49:46.564-07:002013-07-13T14:49:46.564-07:00Honestly, I do not know what DrB is apologizing fo...Honestly, I do not know what DrB is apologizing for, but since he felt bad about it, I acceptted his apology. I recall one term but it did not seem bad enough for an apology. And I do not recall the rest. <br /><br />I just know that he is a good joe, and there was never any negative feelings on my part towards him, I really do not know what he is apologizing for, but I accept and would like to move on. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-72890888559097667352013-07-13T14:17:30.588-07:002013-07-13T14:17:30.588-07:00I am glad my 2 favourite bloggers KIssed and made ...I am glad my 2 favourite bloggers KIssed and made up. :)<br />Giants and Padres series, is also about 2 really good managers trying to keep their teams in the mix.<br />Comments about Tanaka, are so true.<br />Watching him and seeing just how happy and positive he is, must be like a calming sedative for all the boys.<br />I expect a big performance tonight from Timmy.

Keep up your good work, your blog is a great service to everyone here, and you bring a lot of insight that I know I don't have.<br /><br />Clearly the answer to all the Giants offensive problems is having DrB in the stands! They should pay to get you to every game!<br /><br />Nice game by the Giants, it seems like the spell is over, hopefully they can keep it light going forward. Tanaka appears to be part of that, so I do not want to see F take over. However, I do not think the Giants would do that to T, especially if F is not hitting yet in AAA. We will see. I would think Torres is the one on the bubble for F thou.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-6626522005488005932013-07-13T09:35:22.416-07:002013-07-13T09:35:22.416-07:00Agreed on Tanaka.

Extra reliever? <br />I've got no problem with him being on the squad, getting a start now and then, but just to have a bat with some pop on the bench for the late innings would be nice. But no, he should not take Tanaka's spot. The guy consistently makes contact... Francoeur, as we all know, does not. Speaking of relievers, will Casilla be up before the break?
