GAMEBALL and JERK..... 08/20/08 MARLINS at GIANTS
08/20/08 MARLINS at GIANTS
GAMEBALL 
MOLINA
Big Slothy Molina came up with the teammate pickup hit twice tonight…….
Once following a Rowand DP, and finally hitting a sac fly to center to win the game…….
TIP OF THE CAP 
SANDOVAL
Gotta love this kid…..just has a knack for squaring up the ball no matter where it is……
For some reason his approach at the plate feels like Randy Winn's…….Just trying to get good wood on the ball….off balance or not……..
OCHOA
Great bat work tonight, with a bunt hit, reaching base on catchers interference protecting Winn on the hit and run…..and finally a high profile sac bunt in the 9th to set up the game winner……
Just be careful with the neighborhood play, as you came off the
WILSON
Got to tip your cap to a save streak like that……..the best prolonged performance by a Giants closer since Tim Worrell's inexplicable 2003
JERK 
SELIG
Well Selig praying wasn’t going to get rid of Bonds…….but there must be SOMETHING going on here…….
Christ…..this is baseball where Steve Howe got 27 chances, just because he offered the chance to win…….
Professional sports has always been a place where Winning comes before all else…….no matter what baggage is being hauled along…….so you are telling me that…….
The Rays, Red Sox, D Backs, Tigers, Twins, Yankees, and Mets all decided a player who turned in 28 homers with a .276-.479-.565 line who was humble enough to take minimum wage couldn’t help them??????
Yes, that’s a 1.044 OPS which would trail only Albert Pujols in all of baseball……
For sake of argument, lets take a look at the Mets……
Alou and Church on the shelf……
You're lineup revolves around Wright, with Delgado and Beltran adding some punch…….
can you imagine Wright and Bonds in the middle of that lineup????
Reyes SS.................Reyes SS
Evans LF.................Beltran CF
Wright 3B................Bonds LF
Delgado 1B...............Wright 3B
Beltran CF...............Delgado 1B
Tatis RF.................Tatis RF
Easley 2B................Easley 2B
Schneider C..............Schneider C
That lineup goes from good to ridicules with Bonds in the middle…..
And the Press?????
Good god New York is already a circus, you are telling me that it could be much worse……Additionally, I bet any attention the Mets can draw away from the Yankees makes the owners happy……
And the Defense????
This is a team that was happy with Moises Alou in left, and been playing two converted corner infielders on left and right
And the Benefit???
All you hear about is the last days of Yankee Stadium, Blah blah blah……
Well, the Mets get a new ballpark next year too, and what better way to garner the love of New York than to make a deep playoff run the same year the Yankees miss the post season……..
Yes, Bonds is an attractive piece to many of teams out there…….but the only way to explain his absence from a Major League Roster is a Ring of Conspiracy…..
SMACK OF THE STICK 
LODUCA
Released and picked up again…..this is one juicer that was able to find a job…….
And dude……when a pitchout is close to being in t he strikezone….don’t step in front of the plate
WALKER
*******…..its like a Pavlovian response………you see Walker and the lead disappears…..
