0.o Who pissed PED's in your wheaties today?

"Felix Hernandez: you just pitched a perfect game for the Seattle Mariners. Where are you going to go?"

"Hopefully to a team that has hopes of actually wining a pennant some day."









(No, he didn't say this: I did.)

4 hits, 4 homeruns. Wonder if anything like that has happened before.

Wow, that was pathetic.

Eh. Not happy to see them loose, but it was just one of those games. Both pitchers were on, it came down to a few good breaks, all of which went the Giants' way. The Dodgers lost several base hits on unlucky position/good defense, whereas the Giants got a couple base hits on bloops.

Unless you were referring to the running game. Pathetic indeed. And perhaps that swinging K by Kemp with a man on third. Ugly.

Mostly just referring to the lack of run support our pitchers are getting as of late.

Hmm, not sure I agree with that observation. The game you commented on ended a streak of 11 games with 3 or more runs (including 9 with 5 or more). They've averaged more than 4.3 rpg in August (not stellar, but better than their 3.9 rpg season average).

They ran into a couple strong pitchers having great nights, lost Monday due a couple bad breaks, and lost last night due to starting a pitcher with a career ERA well over 4.0. Not the best timing for a drop off, but 2 cold games at the plate don't amount to a trend, yet.

Meanwhile, this song keeps going through my head

After seeing the numbers, I don't agree with my observation either.

My excuse is that I don't think clearly when we are getting beat by the Giants. If you think I was irrational on Monday, you should see me now. The word "Mattingly" alone can set me off on a 20-minute tirade.

I'm going tonight. So they will win. Or else.

[Ghoulish Delight]

else.




THAT was pathetic.
