Fire Up, Afternoon Surfers

D'backs @ Giants, 12.45p

Giants look for the sweep: Brad Hennessey vs. Dan Haren. A sweep would be nice.

Middle of the second, 0-0.

Steve Sax said...

0-0 after two innings.

Steve Sax said...

AZ strikes first, Stephen Drew solo HR. 1-0 after two and a half.

Steve Sax said...

Pablo Sandoval reaches on an error on homer-man Stephen Drew. Man on first to lead off the inning.

Orel said...

Two on, one out for the Giants, bot 3.

Orel said...

Rancho Ardiendo for the Giants!

Orel said...

Eugenio Velez, last night's hero, is also today's hero. 2-1 Giants and they're still batting.

Steve Sax said...

With the bases juiced, Eugenio Velez doubles to only score two (Aaron Rowand is slow, apparently). 2-1 Giants.

Steve Sax said...

This feels so weird to root for the Giants. I mean, short of Fred Lewis and Randy Winn, I don't recognize any of these names.

Steve Sax said...

Bengie Molina strands a man at second to end the fourth inning

Steve Sax said...

Not sure why they pulled Dan Haren after four innings of work. Still 2-1, two out in the bottom of the fifth with a man on first.

Steve Sax said...

Hennessey's at 90+ pitches in the sixth, with only a one-run lead

Steve Sax said...

Former Dodger Dave Roberts with a leadoff walk in the 6th, and Randy Winn follows with a double. Men at second and third, no out, 6th inning against Juan Cruz; 2-1 Giants.

Damon said...

Juan Cruz is horrible

Steve Sax said...

The Robin Ventura Massacre! Nice avatar, damon!

2-1 in the top of the ninth, but Chris Snyder takes a leadoff walk. Didn't Brian Wilson blow the save just last night?

Steve Sax said...

Ah yes, Wilson did. He gave up a two-run home run to allow AZ to tie the game.

One out, man on second (Alex Romero PR).

Steve Sax said...

Tony Clark walks on four straight balls, none of which were close. Men on first and second w/one out.

Steve Sax said...

Stephen Drew flies to right for the second out...Chris Young at the plate with two on and one RISP

Steve Sax said...

Brian Wilson blows the save, for the second straight game!!!

Steve Sax said...

AZ takes a 3-2 lead on a two-out triple delivered by Chris Young, who was batting .245.

There's the Giants we know!

karina said...

He isn't my favorite Brian Wilson anyway...you know and i know the Giants can win this game on walk-off fashion.

Orel said...

Thank you, Brian Wilson. 3-2 AZ in the 9th.

Orel said...

Help us, Eugenio Velez, you're our only hope.

Steve Sax said...

Dunn pops out to end the inning, but the two-run frame could hurt the Giants.

Giants bat Sandoval Molina Ishikawa in the ninth.

Steve Sax said...

Molina gets a one-out single, and is substituted with Ryan Rohlinger.

Who are these guys?

Steve Sax said...

ishikawa makes at least one out...

Steve Sax said...

...oh, Rohlinger on second with two out and big-money Aaron Rowand up...

Steve Sax said...

A Rowand HR here would be pretty sweet.

Alex Cora said...

Are we rooting for the dare I say GIANTS!!!

karina said...

It looks like Lyon is not throwing anything good to Rowand.

Steve Sax said...

Rowand walks.

A Eugenio Velez HR here would be pretty sweet.

karina said...

Again, true love has no shame or boundaries, Alex.

karina said...

Velez already has a double...you go, Eugenio!

Steve Sax said...

AC, shouldn't you be at the Dodgers/Padres game today?

Steve Sax said...

TRIPLE!!!

I can't believe it!!

karina said...

It's hateful, but "i told you so".

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers lead by 3! Got to change the GT...

Alex Cora said...

Holy crap...I can't believe that the giants won.
amazing

Orel said...

Eugenio Velez = Andre Ethier???

karina said...

I hope someone in the Dodgers office sends Eugenio Velez a fruit basket or something.

Orel said...

Or a muffin basket. A muffin basket would work too.

Orel said...

That gives me a post idea....
