I Thought We Had an Off-Day...

But instead it appears the San Francisco Giants are challenging an ominous looking over-the-hill action hero.

Tomorrow, however, the Gigantes take on the Florida Models of Fiscal Restraint, otherwise known as the Marlins.

They don't have the best record, but they're still very good. If you're stupid and base your opinion of a team on say, wins and losses, they're much better than the Giants, in fact.

If Vizquel plays all three games, he'll get the record (appropriately) in a town known for it's rich Latino heritage.

- Didn't post this yesterday, but I just want to go on record and say I agree wholeheartedly with Tim Lincecum's comments:

"Lincecum said he tried too hard to throw strikes, which is one way to throw balls. During one stretch, he went to three-ball counts on seven consecutive hitters, which might be why he said, "In my mind, this was one of my worst outings ever. Yeah, I battled, but I don't want to go through that again."

Like I've been saying since he came up, it was only a matter of time until we realized he actually sucks.

- First, Padres GM Kevin Towers comments about how the sucktitude of the team, then defending Cy winner Peavy gets DL'ed, and now this.

Double ouch. Pretty much any other pitcher (except the Big Wet Rat) and the ball's in center field.

Hate the Pads but you gotta feel for Chris Young - that's scary. Good thing he's okay.

DISCLAIMER: Pity's made easier when the rival is inferior even to your own subpar allegiances.

- Whoops, had a big subconscious slip when I instituted a "comment-starter" on the blog only to realize that I got that from McCovey Chronicles, the granddaddy of all Giants blogs. So, until I figure this out, I'll use a non-sequitur:

Mambo-Dogface: WTF should I rename the mambo-dogface section of each post?
