OK, in celebration of the Dodgers coming to down before the routine beat down I figure I’ll try and give away a shirt.

All you have to do is GUESS  the score in the comment box below. Here are…

ATTENTION ALL SABEAN BACKERS, IT IS JULY 29TH. CAPS LOCK.

Ray Ratto recently wrote an article titled: “Where’s The ‘Lynch Sabean’ Crowd Now?” And it seems the flock of Brian-backers have emerged from their cocoons once again.

In the article, Ray told me I am wrong about everything, Sabean is a mastermind and Santa doesn’t exist.

And with the Giants winning all over the place, it’s easy to believe it.

But let’s look WAAAYY back to last year where San Francisco led the wild-card for over two months and even finished 14 games over .500.

I’ll admit when I’m wrong. Andres Torres, I was wrong.

I was part of the clan calling for your head in the beginning of the season, but I know I wasn’t alone. The numbers seemed to agree, too.

BREAKING NEWS: The Dodgers have acquired Scott Podsednik for TWO minor leaguers. This will be a fun weekend series…

I wish I could be more excited about the walk-off.

Obviously I’m pumped we won and this is a huge, huge momentum builder. Rowand and Renteria came through and then there was Andres Torres. Holy are you serious? Thank you Andres Torres.

But for some reason all I can think about is that San Francisco pitching blew a 9-2 lead.

Something happened in the bottom of the 8th. The place was packed, the mystique was in the air and UUUU-RIBE chants rang throughout the stadium.

It was a 3-3 game, no one out and the count 1-2, both teams are trying to find their identity for a playoff push with August on the doorstep. And then..

OK, I promised not to write anymore about these trade deadline rumors until something actually happens. Plus I’m trying to take on a new personality — an upbeat excited homer who is blinded by the idiocy known as our front office.

BUT JOSE GUILLEN?

Forget the Garko and Hillenbrand debacles that happened during the deadline, this would be the Barry Zito of trade screw-ups.

I am actually writing this in hopes I can persuade our God known as Sabean to jump off the ship — I know he’s a regular reader.

OK, so we had a deal with Dejesus involving some young talented prospects who will forever be unnamed.. Fine. But Jose Guillen? If you are giving up Darren Ford and Nate Schierholtz than I can live with it. My very close friend Grant from McCovey Chronicles put it best:

I feel I can play, no doubt about that.  Myself, I am too proud. I always say if I can’t play this game, I’d be home. But I can help this team win. – Renteria on his play, July 6

Edgar, with age comes wisdom, not a faster bat-speed. OK, one more: Renteria you’re as clutch as an automatic car.

Now onto the POST-GAME:

When things are going good for San Francisco, it feels like we’re one win away from the World Series. Seriously, what a party right now.

Not only that but the team, the commentators and the fans are having a blast.

Since July 5, the Giants are 16-3.  Morale is high and despite Pablo missing, this team continues to gel better than my hair in sixth grade. Man, that was some good lookin’ hair.

Oh wait, we lost? And Renteria struck out to end the game with the tying run on third base? WHO CARES! We have been on a ROLL!

The fans are having fun and licking their chops waiting for the games to start and I know Kruk and Kuip are, too.

Now before we get to our headline, is this how you pictured the West? If you say yes then please e-mail me because I hear the California lottery is pretty high right now.

Now to the headline: I hate to beat a dead horse but I don’t think it’s dead yet. JOIN THE POSEY ROY FAN CLUB.

Ryan Rohlinger was called out, but it’s the thought that counts.

UPDATE 12:17 pm: Oh OK cool he’ll make game time tomorrow. The ball hit him above his left ear.. dang.

UPDATE: 11:51 am – I flipped a coin and Velez will be released today.

10:50 am - Well crap, Baggs says Velez may get released today, why can’t these guys correlate first.

9:37 am - My new good friend Amy G reports that:

Eugenio Velez is doing well this morning and currently in the process of being released from St. Joe’s Hospital.

Great news, awesome to see he is doing much better. Earlier Bruce Bochy said he was fine “but not real responsive.”

Bochy I don’t know about you, but I base my judgment on “fine” by how responsive someone is. Sorry he can’t be like Gamer Rowand and brush off a Padilla fastball to the skull. The guy is like 100 pounds..
