Who were those guys?
Excuse my confusion, but those mysterious men in gray scored in double digits - for the first time all season. (They were the second to last to get there, however, with the Royals still reliably being the Royals.)
I gave Feliz-lite grief yesterday for his atrocious hitting with the bases loaded, but the team as a whole entered last night's play hitting .094 (3 for 32) in such situations. In yesterday's win, they went a blistering 3 for 4.
Jonathan Sanchez acting the part of poised pitcher while the opponent's starter repeatedly got rattled? You had to see it to believe it. In the words of Boch:
"He's just really growing as a pitcher. He had it all going tonight, and aside from the command, he was very composed. It's great to see how poised he has become."Some great stuff from opposition press about the throttling the Giants delivered last night. Melvin calls it their worst loss of the year. Fantastic.
A legitimate leadoff hitter, cleanup hitter, and #5 hitter really does wonders for an offense. It's too much to ask that Bengie and Rowand keep up this whiffle ball streak, but it does underscore what the presence of one legitimate power bat could do for this team.
If only there was one available...
As for that #6 hitter - well, he had a good game, actually a good month, but I still say he kills any of our fathers if he gets a chance.
I can't wait until his value invariably bottoms out with a bottom injury and he gets traded for Shea Hillenbrand.
Some more good news: with yesterday's win, the Giants move to 5-3 and clinch a winning road trip.
Bad news: a suddenly decent Big Wet Rat takes the mound against Zito tonight.

Of the five best hitters in baseball, as measured by batting average, two are San Francisco Giants. Big Money enters today hitting an anamolic (ok, it's not a word...should I say 'anabolic'?) .339 and the Aarow is flying in behind him with a cool .337. Stay hot, boys. Stay hot.
I watched the game from home last night and had a blast. I was thinking, doesn't OBnB have an open gameday thread?...I know it's no original idea, but it could be fun, especially if we get some critical mass of posters...
What was fun about last night: There's no game in recent memory where the Giants were up so huge. Literally, the biggest "stress" in the late innings of the game was, "When the hell is this game going to actually be over?" Enjoyable.
Well said Sean. At one point, I wondered when Brad Hennessey was gonna come mop it up.
Open gameday thread, huh? We'll take a look, there, Timbo.
Also, not a politic blog, I know, but how about that Huma Abedin, huh? Smokin...
She'll need a job soon too - anyone in need of a super hot half Paki babe?
Bengie Molina has an OPS of .903 right now. I suddenly feel the preternatural urge to take a photoshot of my yahoo stats screen. He has raised his OPS from .717 to .903 in 10 games. Huzzah! This is, however, the defending lowest walkrate champion of 2007; he'll be damned if any one is going to keep him from his inevitable .750 OPS.
