Lets hope Timmy can duplicate the performances of Vogey and Zito. Our team needs to not be satisfied with the first two games of the series. Now is the time for the sweep.nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-41695881653270649522012-06-26T16:10:08.657-07:002012-06-26T16:10:08.657-07:00Add erratic to erratic in order to achieve less er...Add erratic to erratic in order to achieve less erratic-ness?

It's a good sign when those things go your way.<br />This game has me thinking of lots of "what ifs"- What if Zito and Lincecum both got good? What if Belt and Sandoval drive in runs? What if Cabrera and Posey stay consistently good?Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-13294329928541751732012-06-26T08:55:51.295-07:002012-06-26T08:55:51.295-07:00Was Zito effectively wild?

Wildly effective? <br /><br />Here is what was not wildly effective: prophecy. From Grant at McCovey Chronicles, "Momentum is as good as the next Barry Zito pitch to the backstop" and from Lefty at El Lefty Malo, "I don't have a lot of faith that one of the two wins will radiate like a mother's love from the left arm of Barry Zito" and from everywhere else in the universe, the discussion of the good Zito vs the bad Zito. But the bottom line here is that the Giants can take the series by playing .500 ball the rest of the way. We are two games back. Pablo hit the ball hard last night. Angel is back in the line-up. "Melky is in a slump" is no longer a true statement. We have an All-Star taking the hill tonight. And the weather is beautiful outside.Zonoreply@blogger.com
