up 10 K’s and it won’t remove the stench of that 2nd inning. Now he can only go around 5, six at the most. You can only keep the 1-5 down for so long. If you are going to let the black holes beat you there is not point in getting the good hitters out.

I think

those commercials are funny. I like the one when Melvin says “You’re a liar”. The dubbed voice at that part is hilarious.

I agree, but what meeting did they decide that Bob Melvin is the guy?

So Andrew

you heard that Denker was taken off the Giant 40 man and the Padres snagged him. Three months ago he was playing 2nd base for the Giants and that crappy offensive unit couldn’t find a spot for him on the 40 man. WTH. I knew Depo would get him.

Yeah, totally didn’t get that. It’s not like the Giants have someone they have to put on their 40 man. I’m sure they could have got rid of Yabu first or something.

rollins, utley, howard, and burrell

they combined for 2-14 9Ks 5BBs. besides the 5 walks, we absolutely limited their best hitters throughout the night. unfortunately, victorino stepped up and so did brett myers (i can’t believe i just said that) to make up for their lack of offense.

this was a winnable game.. hopefully we win the 3 games at home to take it back to philly.
