Kudos to those bettng sports like that with a profit.

Len C. Cum hadn't been pitching that well coming into that start. Cincy beat that boy up a week or 2 ago. In general, Frisco is a really weird team. I would never bet on (or against) those individuals. At times, Cincy has beaten them like a ragdoll. That's wrong. Len C. Cum had given up 8 walks n' 8 earned runs in his last 2 starts. Seems like the start before that was against the Dodgers. That doesn't count, cuz the Dodgers often lay down on offense(especially after they've won the first two games of a series.) His stuff looked great on Friday Night. Maybe he tried that 5 hour energy.

Some of the best pitching I've seen in a while in this SF/Phi series. Through 1.5 games that is...and The Freak and The General haven't even pitched.

Eugene the entertainer hits 1st pitch of the game out. He and Torres are fighting for the starting left fielder job.

San Francisco - Bottom of 3rd
E Velez walked.
F Sanchez sacrificed to pitcher, E Velez to second.
P Sandoval doubled to left, E Velez scored.

Is this not progress from (what some would call) a precum retard?

2 walks in 1 game

This is probably why Len C. Cum has only been dominant in that one game you spoke of. Even then, in that game, his fastball was a lil slower than his norm. They needed to win that Friday night game you spoke of. So, I am not saying it would have been horrible to plunge on that, but just that there's a lot that the general public found out about later than they need to know(if they're gunna bet.) Seems like whoever set the line might have known(or suspected) that it wasn't just the heat n' humidity that caused this guy to get hit hard in Cincy.

Numbnuts finally gets a bad pitch. Hits it a good 400 feet. Somehow, he manages to find the deepest corner of the park, and costs himself a slam.

All of it. People are always surprised to see a stick figure do that.

http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/m...ent_id=6722871

Needed 2-3 more feet. Tough to get it out at that spot at night. Tons of guys hit it to the warning track in left center.

Had a chance at hitting for the cycle, but Ethier robbed him.

Eugenio Velez was 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a win over the Dodgers on Friday night.

With the Rockies loss, the Giants are 2 1/2 games back in the Wild Card. Velez led off the game with his fifth home run of the season. He later chipped in with an RBI double to give the Giants some cushion in the sixth. Velez has cooled quite a bit from his hot-start, but he still has a productive .277/.324/.442 line to go along with five homers, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases in 224 at-bats this season. He shouldn't be a starting outfielder, but with this lineup, he'll be in there more often than not.

SCUDSBROTHER · #**169** 09-19-2009, 10:11 AM

Well, we never talked about whether he was good enough to be a starting outfielder for the Yankees, or the Red Sox. He needs a pitcher who is throwing a lot of pitches. Against a control pitcher, he should just go ahead and swing at the first pitch. When he takes that first strike against a control pitcher, then it gets pretty hopeless for him. He's got a super batting average against the 0-0 pitch. The Giants don't really think though. So, he probably will keep taking the first pitch that comes from a pitcher who is in command of his pitches. Regardless, you could give the Pharaoh some credit for stepping up in what was pretty much a must win game. I mean being 4 1/2 back in the Wild Card was a definite possibility going into last night's game. Padilla had just dominated the Giants last Saturday. They needed a nice start, and he destroys the drunk's 8th pitch to him. Look at the video. Drunk is surprised. Can't even catch Martin's toss of the new ball. Surprised the Drunk didn't throw at him in the next at bat. That odd celebratory clap thing the Pharaoh does (when he crosses the plate etc.) could be seen by some to be a bit much. When he's playing well, he's a lot of fun to watch. Then again, I've been known to watch Turks try to drive.

Dodgers might had given Padilla some payback, but the Giants did the same to Penny yesterday.

Yea, it was beautiful. Was so nice to see Garland look that good. We need someone very tough to start games in the post. Kuroda n' Garland are proven in the post.

Crown@club · #**172** 09-20-2009, 04:29 PM

I just realized that I mixed that up.

It is the Giants gave Padilla some payback, but the Dodgers decided to payback Penny in a huge way

SCUDSBROTHER · #**173** 09-20-2009, 07:27 PM

Giants, Florida, etc. aren't gunna win 90 games. We can lose the rest of the games, and still get in. People can blame the Giants O all they want, but starters Len C. Cum, Penney, and Cain all came up soft during this important week. Sanchez has been a disappointment for a while. Zito has been the gamest. When you have a noted pitching staff, then they need to shut people down in big games. That's your strength. Believe me, I've watched them the second half, and they would have won the Wild Card if the starters had shut people down better(Cain especially.)

Lidge is cooked. Time for Chuckles to remove his head from his a$$, put his feelings aside and move on from BL. If Chuckles throws him out on that mound again, someone should shoot him. (CM, not Lidge...unless they have another one of those magic bullets that make turns)

11 is a lot. A closer needs to have an intimidation factor involved. There's no way that's there anymore. You can't ever have batters getting comfortable up there, or you're dead.

last night made me sick. we have no chance in the post season with him pitching.

Manny really did get screwed on that abat..the guy dropped the ball and rolled on it and got away with it!! Gotta love successful cheaters

Who's the 12 year old lefty striking'em out by the dozen for the blue folks tonight?

SCUDSBROTHER · #**179** 10-03-2009, 10:31 PM

Kershaw is gettin' pinched by a bad man, too. Umps not helping an already bad situation.

docicu3 · #**180** 10-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Why wouldnt you put the .280 hitter on and pitch to to the .108 catcher and pitcher

.........never mind!!
