Maybe it'll be better publicized in the future, but it'll take a full on CY I think.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-83616530424611364892012-04-19T11:18:45.402-07:002012-04-19T11:18:45.402-07:00I'm pretty sure Pagan has a history of slow st...I'm pretty sure Pagan has a history of slow starts, so I definitely am not ready to give up on him.<br /><br />Melky has been an incredible pickup so far. He has been the spark plug of literally every victory this year. When he gets on GOOD things happen for us.<br /><br />I think Matt wants a Cy of his very own.JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-69440040404677651062012-04-19T10:35:09.581-07:002012-04-19T10:35:09.581-07:00Zo's right about Pagan.

C...Zo's right about Pagan. Huge disappointment.<br />Cain has been unbelievably good. I love the way he's responded to getting his mega-contract, unlike Zito, who apparently took five years to figure out how to be worthy of all that money.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-49432215401036549602012-04-19T09:54:17.736-07:002012-04-19T09:54:17.736-07:00Easy lad, it's only April.Easy lad, it's only April.M.C.

This was, without a doubt one of the classic pitchers' duels I have seen. Yeah, the Giants got some hits, but Mr. Lee is one tough customer. One downside: I have now given up on Pagan. I know he was "on base" in the 11th, but when he hit weakly (is there an adverb that implies weaker than weakly? weakliest?) into the double play in the ninth after Blanco, batting for Cain, managed to get on base, I lost all hope for him. Inexcusable. The only reason he did not hit into another double play in the 11th was luck - E5. Either ship the guy out now or put a sniper on the roof and tell him that if Pagan takes his bat off of his shoulder to take him out.Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-81954060823275403592012-04-19T07:01:20.716-07:002012-04-19T07:01:20.716-07:00Looks like DISH does not carry NBC-Bay Area any mo...Looks like DISH does not carry NBC-Bay Area any more. I like the radio, actually, it is how I learned to love baseball. KSFO-560 with Russ Hodges, Lon Simmons, and Bill Thompson was a big part of my childhood (thanks, Mom!).<br /><br />I don't know how the Giants can continue to be so bad in RISP ABs. Last year was terrible, you'd think just by random variation they'd see improvement. It was Cliff Lee, however, and he makes lots of teams look bad.M.C.

He never made it past second. Giants cannot seem to hit with runners in scoring position. 4 GIDP's.nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-18606271539552277272012-04-18T22:30:44.482-07:002012-04-18T22:30:44.482-07:00Didn't try channel 3?Didn't try channel 3?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
