Is "amuse" a clue?<br />Arizona's not too bad. The Grand Canyon is amazing to look at. I made the mistake of walking down to the bottom of it, which in and of itself was a fine experience. It however necessitated walking back up, which was a whole nother thing, especially in mid-summer. I was 17, so I survived, but just barely.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-5428964119929253702015-06-13T21:22:09.391-07:002015-06-13T21:22:09.391-07:00And today, against a pitcher who was a disaster in...And today, against a pitcher who was a disaster in whatever minor league he got called up from to replace Collmenter?

It was as if the<br />ump was not going to let the giants come back. Looks as if <br />Arizona brought along their own umpiring crew. Not really,<br />but it looks like it. The giants smash Harvey, but cannot<br />hit the weak pitching dbacks. It is said that the giants<br />missed their take off time in LaGuardia, and had to go to <br />Kennedy, and then their was a private jet by a Saudi Prince<br />ahead of the giants plane, and for some reason that was<br />delayed. The giants got back to SF several hours late, and<br />supposedly they were just exhaused. But they are multi-million<br />dollar world champions, and they need to play well despite the<br />lack of sleep, lack of Hunter Pence, and Lack of Blanco. The<br />Bums beat up on Denver and Arizona, and the giants struggle. <br />So far these teams are the difference in the standings. nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-76955435434089327572015-06-13T15:58:03.960-07:002015-06-13T15:58:03.960-07:00Named for a cat?

It's Turner Classic Movies "Summer of Darkness" which is all films noir on Fridays in June and July. We watched five yesterday. No time for baseball!<br /><br />Anyway, the Giants will right the ship against Arizona, it's only a matter of time. Weird how they are playing so well on the road--it's like they can hit in every park except their own.<br /><br />Vogie this afternoon at 4:15, just a few minutes from now. I hate these stupid start times. Weekend games should be at one o'clock.<br />M.C.

Those were some amazingly low strikes called, two on Panik and one on Pagan. Poor Joe had to swing at another ball just to guard against the wacko ump. The umps get detailed reports with all their mistakes and I would think this will be noticed. It was the bottom of the ninth during a one run game and it was completely unlike any other time in the game. <br /><br />We played like a team that had flown across country the night before. Did the schedule get us?<br /><br />If baseball made much sense, we would have lost the game 7-3 or so. That would have felt better but we would still be 2.5 behind.JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.com
