I miss them. It's been a while!

[Getpaddled]

anyone keeping a log?

[950opsLHcatcher]

I can do a game log for at least part of the game.

[xisxisxis]

OK I am truely sick. The lineup looks like the opening day lineup (except Magruder is in CF due to Clark's health) and guess who's the starting 3B? Yep, Nedly Yost Jr.

 

Unfrickinbelievable.

[Ando Calrissian]

xis, i think that's because branyan has the flu.

[Getpaddled]

i hope thats the real reason, doesnt he lead the team in K's right now?

[950opsLHcatcher]

Hendrickson, Capellan, Jeff Bennett , Mark Johnson reassigned to minor league camp.

[ja002h]

Jeff Bennett

 

Interesting, so he ended up there after all. I think this gives us some hints about what's going on with the bullpen. Looks like they're going to try to keep most of the guys without options, and both Glover/Obie of course. (I assume Helling gets cut tho? Please??)

[Never Outhustled]

OK I am truely sick. The lineup looks like the opening day lineup (except Magruder is in CF due to Clark's health) and guess who's the starting 3B? Yep, Nedly Yost Jr.

 

xis, i think that's because branyan has the flu.

 

And another conspiracy thwarted. Let it go already.

[Never Outhustled]

This Giants team makes me feel young again.

[xisxisxis]

If you think that Nedly's adoration and preference for Helms is just a fantom of many people's imaginations (including mine) then you might actually be the one with a conspiracy theory. I didn't want to admit it, but I am the ringleader of a conspiracy to destroy the elite career of Wes Helms. I've recruited a dedicated and loyal following to spread misinformation and to conspire to hide the stellar career of Wes Helms. I have been successful in recruiting all official stat companies, national media, and all internet outlets to distort Wes Helm's accomplishments including his real 1.200 career OPS and his record breaking 102 HR in 2003. I have finally been outed and I can no longer hide my persecution of the truest and greatest player of all time Wes Helms.

[ja002h]

This Giants team makes me feel young again.

 

That team would make Satchel Paige feel young.

[brewmann04]

Will Jeff now move into the closer Role at Nashville

[nsimps]

CARLOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS LEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

Hits a bomb

[Never Outhustled]

If you think that Nedly's adoration and preference for Helms is just a fantom of many people's imaginations (including mine) then you might actually be the one with a conspiracy theory.

 

If Yost loved Helms so much , than why didn't Helms play last August and Septemember. He had an OPS over 800 in both months. Its because Yost finally had a better option in Branyan. I love undeniable facts.

[Ando Calrissian]

brewmann, maybe he'll pitch as a set-up guy. isn't novinsky the closer at AAA? can they split time? i'm not sure that the higher-ups see bennett as a closer.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Overbay has dropped two foul fly balls near the dugout. The first one hit him in the shoulder, the second one hit him in the glove.

I guess thats progress. Great to see Cappy overcome it. He's going to be nice this year. ( please stay healthy)

[brettac1]

If Capuano stays healthy he could be the second best pitcher on the staff. That's not a rip on Davis, either, just a heap of praise on Cappy.

[Ando Calrissian]

geez, let's hope we see a lot of that this year from spivey and overbay.

[AJAY]

I know the big plays get a lot of coverage, but it was cool to see Hardy execute a perfect hit and run. We are going to need things like that from him. Small ball can help too.

[cirillo26]

Way to go Jeff!!!

[Ando Calrissian]

AJAY, i completely agree. i hope that's the kind of thing he does really well all year. heck, that's the kind of stuff that we haven't done in the past to help us on to victory.
