We've got 30 more to play, boys and girls. The Giants, 4.5 games behind, have 33 left to play. How we have played more despite having started the season with two games in Australia, a week before anyone else started play, seems a bit bizarre. But hey, we'll take the days off to rest our injured staff! We've got two days off in August alone, and then another three days off in September; most of our remaining games are against NL West teams with the exception of three against Washington (Sept 1-3) and four in Chicago (Sept 18-21). This is good, as we're 34-19 vs. teams in our division.
And what about our division? Well, the game that matters is Colorado @ San Francisco, 7.15p first pitch. Rockies throw Tyler Matzek (2-9, 5.38) vs. Jake Peavy (2-3, 3.58). Peavy has snuck in two wins since starting 0-3 as a Giant after coming over from Boston. But one of those wins came after giving up 10 hits to the Cubs over seven innings. With the Rockies having already swept the Giants at home (back in June), this may be a chance for us to pick up another half-game on our 4.5 game lead, while we sit idly. Colorado has won 7 of 11 vs. the Giants this year.
I suppose we could also concern ourselves with Milwaukee @ San Diego, 7.15 first pitch. Kyle Lohse (11-7, 6.49) vs. Eric Stults (6-13, 4.53). Playoff implications, at least for the Brewers (our potential opponent), so Go Padres!

Don't forget tomorrow is the draft for the 2014 SoSG fantasy football league season. Still have one open team remaining if anyone wants to play. shoot me an email through my profile if you are interested.
@spank: who is in so far?
Rox take a 1-0 lead in the first off a Justin Morneau sac fly, scoring Charlie Blackmon. Blackmon reached on an error by Giants 2B Joe Panik, moved over on a fly ball, advanced to third off an errant pickoff throw by Jake Peavy, and scored on the Morneau sac fly.
Go Rockies!
And, Colorado has already given it back. Wonderful.
Morse GIDP gets the Rox out of it. 1-1 through 1.

I'm in! I'll be leaving my draft to the Autopick Gods.
Angles getting they asses handed to them by Marlins, at home. Wade Leblanc filled in for Garret Richards who is out for the season....and stank. Didn't make it out of the fourth. Rasmus came in with two men on and promptly gave up a jack to Stanton. 7-0 in the fifth now.
COL 3-2 SF in the fifth now.
3-2 Rox in the fifth
DAMMIT
3-2 END of fifth.
Pretty amazing to get a DAMMIT in a scoreboard watching thread.
3-2 Rox through 6
@Dusty! seriously, you're right. Clearly, you're watching scores and not MPQing.
When are you going to join the rest of us in MPQing?
Am I seeing things? 3-2 Rox, bot 8
Giants have hit into four double plays through eight innings. Bochy was just ejected.
3-2 Rox

#SamsungReplay: @SFGiants challenge call that DJ LeMahieu was safe at home in the 7th. Call overturned, runner out: http://atmlb.com/XNQt2v
Rox win!!!
Giants lose!
@Sax
I've been solo MPQing trying to figure out how to play it. So far all I can understand is I have to match at least three thingies in a row and then a bunch of flashy stuff happens, some good and some bad, then at some point soon thereafter I get to try another match.
It's a final, Col 3, SF 2.
LA lead stretches to five games.
@Dusty 10:05p: Yeah, that's about it. But there's a good collecting mechanism as well as leveling up mechanism. The more you play, the better you get.
Kind of like cornhole.
Jorge Soler was called up by the Cubs. What are the odds he goes crazy on us when we're in Chicago in a few weeks? He'll hit 5 homers (it's a 4-game series, Haren will probably start one of them) while Puig goes 0-fer
