GAMEBALL and JERK..... 04/01/08......AKA... I'd rather be waterboarding......
I'd rather be waterboarding......(stolen from the gameday thread)
GAMEBALL and JERK
04/01/08 GIANTS at DODGERS
GAMEBALL
CAIN
STUD
What more can you say……this kid is made of steel…..
After the pressure chamber of 2007, Cain opened 2008 where he left off……shutting down the opposition, while getting no support……
Cain received an average of 3.5 runs of support per 9 innings…….
3.5 runs???? Christ a team of rabid blind orangutans suffering from down syndrome would score 3.5 !@#$ runs on accident……
Still as strong as Cain is mentally, eventually it has to wear on a man……this is a team sport, and Cain is a team player……..and he deserves the W…. but all we can offer is the GAMEBALL
TIP OF THE CAP
ROWAND
Well, you can't place the blame here…..as in his first two games as a Giants, Aaron has back to back multihit games…. now if we could just figure out how to convert these into runs……
BOCOCK
Broke through with the 1st RBI of the game, and the 1st RBI if his career as he ground out an 8 pitch based loaded walk
TASCH
Came in a scoreless game with the based juiced and proceeded to Strike Out the dangerous right handed Kemp to send the Giants to the 7th tied…..
JERK
HENNY
:jerk:
!@#$…. Although, Cain wasn't in line for the win, you KNOW just putting up a W during his start would do wonders for his psyche…. especially versus Cain's nemesis the Doggies…….
But as soon as the Giants put up their first two runs of the season… Henny was there to hand them right back…….
Hey Henny, last I saw AAA was full of relievers gunning for your job……..
Better get your !@#$ straightened out quick, or you will just be another JERK without a job
SMACK OF THE STICK
RAY RAY
I swear to god that Ray's glove has gotten worse……I get the feeling that not having Omar around has had an effect on Ray……
Never stellar with the glove, seems like more of adventure everyday……
And today his bobble and then lob to first gave precious moments for Furcal to round 3rd and score the winning run on an infield single…….
BOCHY
For all this talk about team speed, take this under consideration….
The Giants hit into 3 Ground Ball Double Plays
Twice the Giants failed to score from second on a single to the outfield… including once with 2 outs……
Whereas the Dodgers
Pulled a double steal to set up the tying runs
Scored the winning run from second on an INFIELD single……
Now WHO'S the team using SPEED TO wreak havoc?????

…
honorable mention to YABU..the 39 year old pitcher who shut them down with a slider..
--- Hamels started toward the dugout after what he thought was a strike. Lincecum didn't get the call & buzzed ump Dana DeMuth w. a fastball that slammed off the backstop & then froze Hamels w. another 3rd strike. 4/28/10 Timmy the ump killer.
