"Giants-Rocks"
 
   Even though Cody Ross singlehandedly lost the game tonite I still think he was a good pickup in the long run.

Gutwrenching loss....beyond torture.

Ah, those are the Rockies I remember. The ones that look at the calendar at the end of August and beginning of September and go, "Okay, it's time to play .800 ball now." Fuck.

Total collapse, my anus. Lastnight was God telling you that you've been going to the wrong building for too many years. Broken-bat triple (?) followed by three hard-hit balls in the bottom of the ninth (thought Huff's had a chance), hard to believe this wasn't in Coors Field.

Agree with you about Ross, good pickup. He probably didn't sleep much last night. Let's hope he bounces back, mad.

Insult to injury, the Pads lost to Arizona, Phils and Cards lost, etc.

Silver lining: two good starts in a row. Sanchez looked terrific.

Only thing to do, get up and press on.

Why did Posey start?
He should of sat for games. Whiteside was swinging a hot bat the previous game and Busters seems to have hit that wall.
Why not put Ross in center or left field?? And put Scheirholtz in right he know how to play the wall better than anyone else on the team.
Also if Sandoval and F. Sanchez are hot why don't you put them in the line up next to each other.

Only up side to the 1st game of this series is that J. Sanchez now has a 3rd pitch that he can use to get outs.

Sure, let's sit down the probable National League Rookie of the Year and play a journeyman catcher instead. And while you're at it Bochy, take out the team's MVP Torres and play Ross out of position in centerfield. The wall? The wall had nothing to do with that triple, but we need Scheirholtz' .241, no power bat in the lineup. I'll give you maybe as a defensive replacement he should have been in there in the ninth. Bat Sanchez and Sandoval next to each other? Yeah, that's the ticket, anytime two guys get two or more hits in the same game, we change the lineup the next day!! BTW, Sanchez has always had three pitches. There's a reason you're not a big league manager.

First of all Scheirholtz is hitting over .320 vs.left handed pitching.
Posey had stuck out at least twice in the last 4 games
Torres has more experiance in left field than Ross.
Before the start of this Game J. Sanchez would only throw the fastball or slider for strike 3.
F. Sanchez & Sandoval have been hot since the Reds series.

>First of all Scheirholtz is hitting over .320 vs.left handed pitching.<

They didn't pick up Burrell, Gullian and Ross to sit them down in favor of Scheirholtz. This .320 vs. left handed pitching is a meaningless stat given the fact he's probably only had a few at-bats against left-handers all year.


>Posey had stuck out at least twice in the last 4 games<

He didn't play on Saturday or Sunday. Quite a feat to strike out without playing. Maybe you didn't notice, but Posey drove in the only Giant run last night, and he's hitting 80 points higher than Whitesides.

>Torres has more experiance in left field than Ross.<

Torres and Ross have both played exactly 71 games in left field during their respective careers. You can look it up; I did. It still overlooks the fact you're sitting down Burrell to put Shierholtz in the lineup. Whose been the most productive hitter the last 2 months, Shierholtz or Burrell?

>Before the start of this Game J. Sanchez would only throw the fastball or slider for strike 3.<

So you've logged every third strike pitch that Sanchez has thrown in his life to make this statement? If so, maybe you need a life.

>F. Sanchez & Sandoval have been hot since the Reds series.<

Sanchez got hot hitting in the 8 spot and then Bochy moved him to the 2 slot. Panda's been hitting 6th or 7th, if you move him to third, what do you do with Huff, the Giants most productive hitter all year.

It's not about the lineup; it's all about the pitching. If the Freak and Zito don't step up right now, forget about the rest of the season and the playoffs.

I have a life and its to keep track every starters pitch. That is the key to gammbling on baseball. The starting pitcher and whoks the home plate umpire.

As for the freak & zito on Lincecum needs to figure thing out. Zito peak his last year on Oakland.
Bumgardner need's to stop giving up more than 4 four runs a game when he pitches at AT&T park if he wants to win.

Actually, have you logged on the baseball-reference.com, they may have those stats. They have just about every concievable catagory of stats, stuff like the "pinch hit leverage ratio" and other bizarre stuff.

   Man, I feel bad for Sanchez (both of them). Jonathan puts in a badly needed gem of a performance from the starting rotation and sees his hard fought win evaporate in the blink of an eye. Freddie makes a lightening fast relay that coulda/woulda eliminated that go ahead run at third, but for the ball bouncing the wrong way and skipping off the base runner. Adding insult to injury, he gets dinged with his fourth error in four games (his first four of the season) and the runner is awarded home on the freaky play.

Most of all I feel bad for Ross. Even re-watching it over and over, that broken bat surprise hit looked and sounded like a blooper that might not even make it past Sanchez' range, but it kept going, and going, and going... way over the head of Ross who immediately broke in hard off the sight and sound of contact. Someone in the crowd must have had some sort of levitation device. It's hard to fault Ross for not cleanly fielding the subsequent bomb off the wall either, as the ball took one of those unpredictable veers off the unforgiving facade in right field.

Last year the team showed great resiliency down the stretch and bounced back time and again after disheartening losses like this one, until they finally ran out of gas in the end.

Absolutely, "Only thing to do, get up and press on."

Why do I have no faith that the bullpen will hold this one run lead for three innings and we won't score again? Bottom of 7, no outs first and third. Panda swings at the first two pitches, one of which was a wild pitch, looks at strike three. Uribe strikes out, Ishikawa grounds out to first. Typical of the entire season except for July.

Top of eight, two out, bases empty, home run Rockies. Game tied. If I was a betting man, I'd bet the house on the Rockies.

Buster just restored my faith. Hey, maybe they should have started Whiteside?

(in Rain Man voice) Definitely should have started Whiteside. Start Whiteside. He very fast. Start Whiteside. Ten minutes to Wapner. Got to get to KMart.

Nice to even the series, and hopefully Lincecum can break his streak of bad starts.

Phils are warming up, Cards are not, and the Pads, what is it now, six in a row?

Hello, September. Thought you'd never get here.

The Rockies always get their spinach on round this time, it's about to get really interesting. You should be worried about them, too. They can streak like Will Ferrell in Old School.

I'm just happy the Gs have got some guys in the lineup that can take a few pitches, work counts deep, and actually do some damage. Then, there's Panda.

If Lincecum can shake the blues, and there's Cain, Sanchez, and doubles-hitting MadBum keeping games close, with the roster they've got, I'm willing to ride that train.

I'm not worried about NL West contention.

The dog days of Aug. are over and the Fighting-Phils are on fire. I hope they don't win the wild card. Actually, I'd much rather see the Gs take it.

Padres are about to W.

I would think the humbling part is more about the division. As quickly as a 3-game-lead became 5, 5 has now become 3.

I'm just stunned the law of averages has stepped in and the Pads have actually had a bad streak. And no, I still don't trust the Rockies.

And yep, it was nice to see Lincecum showing good form. Ubaldo was a fucking beast and didn't deserve his personal fate, but that team deserved the heartbreaking, debilitating, bone-marrow-raping loss last night after that broken-bat triple on Monday. That one hurt, but taking the series made things much better.

*Edit- and really, I'm with you. If it's not my team, I do hope it's yours.

As long as it's not these guys:
