a no no-hitter

i do have to agree with dave flemming and john miller about that loose ball from the LAA bullpen. It totally destroyed his rhythm because the very next pitch was a solid single. but biggie ups to me main man cain. its real good sh*t!
I didn't really notice the no hitter until the 6th inning. I totally forgot about that, as did so many giants fans out there last night. Usually you tend to forget when you see a 1 run from the LAA.

watching the game from the bleachers, a lot of people had disgruntle remarks when they saw accardo and benitez warming up in the bullpen. Personally, I agreed with the crowd (37,951). Although Benitez has a 1.71 era, it is still thin waters when it comes to this guy. guys hit off him a lot and I remember that one oakland game when it was a guy on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out!!!!!!!! thank god feliz was there to make a one man double play. even if Benitez did save the game. he got lucky. armand "feliz rodriguez" benitez.

Schmidt's Sweet Sixteen


This morning on KNBR, Gary Radnich spoke to a guy that left early on monday's game because of his kids..."There comes a point in your life where you have to pick Family or Jose Vizcaino." I just thought it was funny. Jose Vizcaino is our joker Giant...hooray!


With the NBA Playoffs and Giants Baseball, I have come to a conclusion that Jason Schmidt is the Sam Cassell of MLB. He does not have great looks and to top that off, he does not have a lot of hair. EEK! - seriously, he looks like an asian alien, that Schmidt!
But I do have A LOT of respect in his game. Another excellent game by our Achilles Heel, our Ace. Congratulations on his achievement of Pitcher of the Month. I listened to the game today and I would expect that every 2 strike count comes a SWING AND A MISS...and it happens. I am getting that automatic vibe that he is going to strike out people in the double digits. When I'm in need of love and protection, I go to my mommy, isn't Schmidt the Mommy of the San Francisco Giants? Fo shizzle!

Peer Pressure is a Bitch

The crew and I sat at sec 138 last night; chilly and windy enough to get your head cold. What are the odds? So it was routine, with the amount of beers we chugged and smuggled in the park, my cousin and I went to the bleacher bathroom and concession area; which many of you know where Morbitzer caught 715. While taking the innings piss, I heard Dave Flemming on the radio speaker about a Florida Homerun that Willingham hit. Buzzed as I was, I yelled out "we were right there!!". Bonds allegedly tried to play it off with a dramatic catch but then flipped it back to the crowd when it was offically ruled a homerun. When we got back to our seats, the rest of the crew were all hyped up saying that my other cousin caught the ball ...but then he threw it back to bonds.
When Bonds threw it back to the crowd, it rolled down to where we were sitting. My cousin hid it under his jacket for a brief moment but then showed the fans that he had it. Then EVERYONE around him were chanting "THROW IT BACK, THROW IT BACK!"...my cousin does not go to a lot of games and he thought everyone does it with a non giant homerun....so he threw it back and everyone cheered yet at the same time full of regret...it was the highlight of the game. Peer Pressure is a Bitch...

FINALLY saw a Bonds homerun. Even if it wasn't a milestone homerun, it still is, isn't it? I told everyone how I felt the emptiness inside of my SF Giant heart that out of all the games I've been to, no homerun. Until last night. Everyone was going crazy- I finally fulfilled my SF fantasy and witnessed a homerun by Bonds. We received a Commemorative Pin saying that "I witnessed Bonds HR"....very very very fun night.... something that I can share with for years and years to come.

II Legit to Quit

Just when you think the Giants will be swept by the dominating Marlins, especially when JASON ELLISON starts off taking the place of Randy Winn, they win! Just like McHammer, you lose but you try to avoid the sweep of devistation by winning the rubber match and make a BLOG to regain your Hammer Time fans but through the internet. what a major turn.

It should be an interesting match up against the NY Mets especially when Bonds took a 3 day rest. Will they cheer like what the Marlins fans did when he first stepped up to the plate on game one? Wait, we're talking about New York. Where they boo their own players if they are doing a bad job and write articles about Homeruns that doesn't help when they are already leading(hint: Alex Rodriguez). Let's here the boo birds everytime Barry plays Left Field but hit a homerun, 716, to make em shut the hell up!
