I’ll Take Weird If This Is The Result

I chose this weird broom because it signified how strange this entire sweep of a series was.

From the two double-play errors in games one and two that led to 6-1 wins, to a bizarre, but welcomed, 15-run onslaught yesterday…  To today’s game — Just weird.

I didn’t actually feel comfortable until the ninth inning today, right after Buster Posey went opposite field  for the ump-teenth time. What a freaking stud.

Nevermind the offense, our pitching now has the big question mark. From Zito’s walk-fest to Bautista’s ball-fest to Casilla’s … wait Casilla pitched today? Well, you get the picture. Enter Dan Runzler. With the bases loaded, he gets a strikeout then gets Ryan Braun grounds out to end the inning.

We were stoked, the Giants hold onto 6-3 lead.

Enter the top of the 7th. His spikes get caught while batting and his 6’4” frame hits the ground. The laughs quickly turned to “Are you serious” when he stood up in obvious pain.

Turns out he dislocated his knee… Yeah it was that bad — Questions will surely come up as to why he was batting in the first place.

All-in-all this was one of those games that you probably won’t re-watch. Weird errors, Whiteside looked foolish several times — including throwing to Pablo thinking it was strike three — and let’s not get started with our bullpen.  Oh and I can’t forget the drunk bride they kept showing.

At one point the Brewers had left 15 of a maximum 18 runners on base (through six). I don’t know if that’s a good thing for our pitching or just a terrible thing for Milwaukee’s hitting.. One things for sure, the Brewers defense is God-awful.

Aubrey Huff looked like the All-Star that he should be, Andres Torres continued to be what Fred Lewis never could be, and Freddy Sanchez continues to be a great number two hitter. Are things starting to click?

But when Chris Ray made Corey Hart look foolish on a strikeout, everything fell into place: Our new trade acquisition made our potential trade acquisition look like the player we traded away..

BOOM. I think I’ll leave you with that.

JAMIE KENNEDY, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
