Two Games
Giants 5, Dodgers 3
dodgers.com Headline: "Dodgers Scrap With Giants In San Fran"There's an extra "s" in there somewhere.
I'm increasingly concerned that Weaver is pitching injured. I had a premonition that Weaver would last 4.2 innings, but he didn't even go that far. I also had a premonition that Matheny would get a big three-run double in today's game, and while I was wrong about the double, I was right about the three runs. That it was a homer was just added salt in that wound.
Teensy bright spot: DJ Houlton goes two without giving up any.
Update: Buddy Carlyle is coming back up? J.D. Drew gets an MRI revealing fluid in his wrist, preventing him from swinging properly, but the Official Tracy Line is "with regular treatment it's no problem"? Pardon me while I hork.
White Sox 2, Angels 1
No (nearly) fecally-themed headline here, but the results were about as bad. The Angels pay Esteban Yan $1.25M for his "services" this year, and while it could be a lot worse, 4.71 out of the bullpen is just awful.I'm really starting to get to the point where I'm mad, though not necessarily at, say, Steve Finley (though he should oughta be hitting way better than he is). No, I'm getting mad at Stoneman. Cabrera: an offensive hole. Finley: another hole (though I still think he can come out of it). Vlad on the DL for two weeks. McPherson, a raw rookie with an affinity for the strikeout. Who knows, maybe Rich is right: he's just never going to be useful until he gets better knowledge of the strike zone. Look at all those left-handed bats the Angels put up there, and look at all the strikeouts.
And a brilliant performance by Colon, wasted.
You can talk all you want about pitching depth, but this team is intensely shallow offensively.
