Open Thread Game One: San Francisco Giants

San Francisco @ Los Angeles
After six long baseballless months we finally get games that count again starting today. It's a perfect excuse for me to accomplish nothing for the rest of the day since I've got a bad case of the Mondays.
Prior to the game Eric Hull was DFAed presumably to add Chan Ho Park at some later date since there was already room for both Blake Dewitt and Angel Chavez. When Chan Ho Park invetibly implodes, and we can't find a middle reliever to replace him, we can pretty easily scapegoat Ned for this one.since Jason Schmidt was not placed on the 60 day DL as expected, and we needed a spot for Angel Chavez or Blake Dewitt. Still, yay, opening day, not the time for negativity. I'm single and lack a social life this season, so I'll probably be in these game threads much more.

Re
Yeah, I just noticed it. Also, not having to refresh during a game thread is a great feature

Gameday
Can anyone get gameday to work, or is it being swamped by people not working right now?

Re
I think it's time to bench Ethier and give Pierre a shot.

Kemp's job is safe, however.

Zito
Nice to see that Zito still sucks terribly. Just one more hurdle for the Giants to clear on the long road to contention.

Sabatoge
If you want to see a team that actually does hate its young players, the Twins are starting Craig Monroe over Jason Kubel tonight.

Oh My God
We actually had someone get struck out by one of Zito's 83 mile an hour heaters.

A Contest
Best Merkin/Bocock joke wins my personal thumbs up.

The Streak
Is over. We no longer have to force Pierre into the lineup.

What a glorious game
Favorite moment?
Bocock getting picked off by Beimel. Easily.
...That, or Penny beating out Rowand's throw to third base.

Sorry I Missed the First Game Thread
I went to B Dub's to watch Opening Day.

The Giants are so bad
that I feel sorry for their fans. Now I understand why the Dodgers weren't worried about using DeWitt for the 1st three games.
To be fair we should have pitched Chan Ho to give them a chance.
Kuroda is going to be upset when he realizes that he has to pitch against real major leaguers while Penny, Lowe, and Chad got to notch their belts against the most pathetic lineup I've seen grace a ballfield since we won game 5 in the 1988 world series.

This Is Definitely The Worst Lineup
I have seen since I started watching baseball in 1990-91.

Same here
Seriously, Bengie Molina? A clean-up hitter?
OK, I don't actually feel sad for Giants fans, but I almost want to be able to. Poor bastards. I know how it feels to enter a season with absolutely no hope.
