Operation Desert Shame Complete

Olsen_2Scotty's expression pretty much says it all.

I can't really say much about the D-Backs series because it's just too painful to relive right now.  I'm still healing from last night.  Why, Armando, why? I haven't been this angry with a Marlins reliever since...Jorge Julio's reign of terror a few months ago. 

Maybe they were still mad about getting no-hit by Anibal Sanchez last year. If so, they got revenge four times over.

What could possibly be worse than getting swept by Arizona?

How about the possibility of the Marlins pitching staff surrendering home runs No. 754, 755 and 756 to Barry "I Didn't-Do-It-But-I'm-Twice-As-Big As-I-Was-My-Rookie-Season" Bonds?

Worst-case scenario: Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's record against a Marlins pitcher and the Giants win the series.

But what if Barry hit some home runs and it had no effect on the outcome of the game?  Would that be so bad? 

I'd be all for Barry getting it over with this weekend ONLY IF the Marlins end up winning.  Let's face facts, the people who are occupying the seats at AT&T Park aren't paying who-knows-what to watch the Giants play good baseball.  They're totally aloof during the ballgame, and snap out of it four or five times when Barry steps in the batters' box.  They really wouldn't care if the Giants lost just as long as they witnessed a historic home run.

So bring it on, Barry.  You'll probably end up sitting a game or two out anyway.

Well, that was pretty embarrassing. Not really #754, but, uh...all the rest of it.


Another game we should have won, and let slip away. The losing isn't the most painful part, it's the falling apart in front of the whole nation that bugs (and sort of humiliates) me. It's been a while since we've seen the defense go to pieces like that.

Arrrrrgggg.

THe comment about Barry Bonds being whigged out by having to run the bases was great and funny writing. I don't agree that players with news babies can blame any slide in their game on loss of sleep. Having a family should make them play better -- harder.......to win one for the little nippers.
Ankle biters at home is an inspiration -- not a drag.
