Game Thread #74: Giants (39-33) at Brewers (39-34)

This is corporal Pete. I don't know what happened to the officers. And this fanpost might be targeted by an enemy drone. All I know is there is a ballgame about to begin and we need to do battle. I do have good news for the troops. The enemy Giants won't be sending their warrior Lincecum against us, instead, it'll be a reserve soldier. We're going against the once great Zito tonight and he has shown some of his old moxy, but the boys should handle him. Let's go!

thanks for starting a game thread ol pete

I tried to do it a bit ago but realized I needed 75 words… and double spacing doesn’t count like it did in highschool

whew, we have a game thread

McClung doing well for one inning, at least. Hopefully he’ll prove that 73 > 75. _

Hardy struck out in the first inning last night

So look for a HR next time up ;)

Schierholtz?

I guess he is filling in the role that the Tigers’ guy did who bounced around the minors – get more hits than I understand.

Defense? D, where’d you go? ::looks around::

I don't know about Braun

…or McGehee, for that matter. He’s better at 3rd. McClung needs Counsell out there at 2nd.

Braun’s playing like he recently graduated from the Delmon Young School of Left Fielding.

could have been a much worse inning I guess

there are only three guys in this lineup with power. Why throw that pitch to one of them?

he's in that Jason Kendall area now

the bar is set so low, as long as he doesn’t injure a teammate it’s a successful AB

Is his hand bothering him?

He’s looked at it a couple times after swinging. Maybe a trip to the DL would be best for all parties.

Is it just me

Or has every Giant reliever had an ERA of around 2.90?

Stetter deserves it.

UN. TUCK. EM!!!

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

How do I love that win:

Let me count the ways:
One, Fielder making a 0-4 game a 4-3 game
Two, McGehee ties on the next at bat
Three, Saddness befalls Hoffman when he comes without a save, but hope exists
Four, Crew rallies behind some nice hitting from Hart, Gamel
Five, The Prince is my hero

after such an atrocious June

it’s amazing to think that we are still in first place!

by keephopealive on Jun 27, 2009 9:32 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

It sounds cliche

But you can never count this team out, they are streaky but their hot streaks are freakishly good, we all love it when the Crews plan comes together. Many times this season the team has come back from the jaws of defeat, far more often then they found to snatch a loss from the jaws of victory. Feel good wins are what we are used to, I can live with a little drama when we’re still on top

Finally

Post-game thread is up.

It was a great selection of awesome.
