What...I'm psyched by how hot FSanchez has been. What's he got now, 9 hits in 3 games? I always knew he had abilities, but with all his damn injuries it's been frustrating at times. For him to be so hot now, that's wonderful.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-35433582235582471652010-10-28T10:00:14.868-07:002010-10-28T10:00:14.868-07:00Jazz hands going yard, for sure.

After our 2 horrendous mental errors in the 1st inning, I had smoke coming out of my ears. After Bengie Molina 'challenged' Torres to throw him out at the plate, & Torres unleashed that high, arcing, useless throw, I was thoroughly disgusted. You know what, though ... I still thought that we were going to win. And, that feeling grew with every breaking pitch that Lee failed to spot. After a couple that we swung at in the dirt, we suddenly got the collective discipline to just wait out his curveball - taking breaking pitch after breaking pitch for balls, usually away. For awhile, he was very effective, changing the speed & angle on his fastball, but I thought that that bag of tricks would only survive one time through our line-up. Sure enough, we started raking him. Eventually, it was a rake-fest! We tried to sloppy it up again at the end of the game, but it was too late - we held on. Not one of our proudest moments - I hope that we tighten up our pitching & defense from here on out, &, like I'm sure most Giants' fans, I worry that we 'used up' too many hits in that one game. But, as pointed out pre-op by Zo, isn't that what we did in September? Occasional offensive outbursts, followed by game after game of tight wins. 3 more (probably) tight wins to go!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455675383175604095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-50998106551892153712010-10-28T06:33:15.452-07:002010-10-28T06:33:15.452-07:00I went bananas when the Giants got the 5th run off...I went bananas when the Giants got the 5th run off Lee (Huff's single to score Burrell). It seemed like that was a critical moment, and Ron Washington agreed and yanked his starter. We all know how well THAT worked out. Juan Uribe's bomb was the difference in the game. It was nice to finally get a "killer blow" after all those nail-biters. A six-run inning is pretty rare anyway, and to have the Giants do it in Game 1 of the Series was amazing.M.C.
