Aaaahhh that sucked

 

didn't help that the umpire gave Marcum a big strike zone, calling pitches at the ankles strikes...

 

^ i was listening to the game at work tonight (mlb@bat app). Guys kept saying how crazy the umps strike zone was for the brewers

Man i wish Huff could have slammed one out to tie it up

 

Yeah, the entire game, the strike zone was larger than the batter. It was ridiculous.

Giants will get the next two...

 

I wish it was an afternoon game today haha. 6:05pm

 

Nice win

 

Barry Zito ****ing sucks!!!

 

fuuuuuuuuu i thought the game started at 7:05.. damn eastern time listings

 

I thought he did great!

 

that was a lil rough

 

Zito stunk it up, but so did the Giants hitting. Kruk and Kuip were saying how Sandoval was blasting HRs "with Barry Bonds-like power" during BP and yet he couldn't get 1 hit in the game. Majority of the Giants hitters stunk it up in a small and lively ballpark. I'll give credit to Rowand for that pinch hit HR though.

On other news/rumors, looks like the Giants are the frontrunners in the Carlos Beltran sweepstakes. Mets are playing the Reds at their homefield right now, while Giants are playing the Reds next. Beltran might just stay in Cincinnati to join the team if the deal gets done.

If the Giants do acquire him, it's going to be interesting how they will play him. He can play center field, but he prefers to play in right field. CF might not be the best, considering his injury history. Shierholtz will probably have to be moved to LF, or CF if Beltran wants RF. Then that becomes an issue for playing time with Ross, Torres, or the other outfielders.

 

KNBR is reporting that the Beltran deal is done. Sucks for Shierholtz though...looks like he might be the odd man out

I don't think he will be the odd man out. He's our 2nd best hitter after Sandoval. If anything, Torres or Ross will be watching more games from the dugout.

 

rumor has it it's zach wheeler for beltran

 

dang mixin things up
