Sanchez re-finds home plate by late in the month.<br /><br />August - Bochy, brilliantly sensing that Bumgarner needs some rest before the stretch run, has Suppan fill in again; Suppan wins 3 more games. Bumgarner uses his time to permanently affix miniature idols of 'geniuses' Bochy & Suppan behind bullpen bench. <br /><br />September/October - Suppan returns happily to long relief role, but takes time to dive into McCovey Cove to save drowning baby. Finishes regular season with a 14-2 record, 3.22 ERA<br /><br />With the Big 4 starters leading the cheers, saying that they owe their good health, sanity, & toughness to Suppan, he caps the season by winning the Willie Mac Award by acclamation.<br /><br />Selflessly withdraws from consideration for post-season roster, giving an opportunity to recent call-up Zack Wheeler. Suppan is happy that he can concentrate full-time on his community work.<br /><br />Makes regular guest appearances in the broadcast booth during the Giants' postseason drive, at one point snagging a line drive foul ball inches from Duane Kuiper's temple.<br /><br />Elected Mayor at next available opportunity.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455675383175604095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-61435109777628756622011-03-03T07:51:32.082-08:002011-03-03T07:51:32.082-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455675383175604095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-51977710441434082952011-03-03T07:28:41.412-08:002011-03-03T07:28:41.412-08:00Oh No!
