GFBB Note: This same thing happened to me tonight. After taking a 5-0 lead in the 2nd against the Padres, the SF Giants proceeded to lose the game in the bottom of the 12th…….. their 4th loss in a row. And to be honest with you the minute the Padre hit that double in the 12th I turned off the TV so I could clean up the kitchen, which I did. I notice on the internet the Giants did indeed lose in the bottom of the 12th. I knew they would. I just didn’t want to watch it. But let’s face it, we’ve had our share of victories recently so I’m not always a fair weather fan. But c’mon, four in a row? Just wanted to let Jed McKeehan know he’s not alone. It’s something we baseball fans have in common. Good read ~ thanks for writing it!

Kudos to “McKenna” for getting this great shot and kudos to all the camera men/women who consistently provide us with great immediate photo’s of spectacular plays on a regular basis. It almost makes watching the telly as good as being at the ballpark. Well, almost ….. :))

GFBB Note:  When I saw the report about the “base brawl” on ESPN all I could think about was “Oh boy ~ here we go again!”. Some things just don’t have a happy ending.  And let’s face it, Carlos Quentin isn’t exactly baseball’s poster boy.  I’m not sure whether the blogger’s opinion is really about Zach Greinke or more about a dislike for the Dodgers and their lack of wisdom in bringing Greinke onboard.  No matter.  Carlos Quentin has a record of being hit by a pitch on a regular basis so you’d think he’d be used to it by now.  Probably just having a bad hair day. Well we won’t have to worry about him for awhile.  MLB just announced he’s been benched for the next 8 games.  Personally, I think he should be benched for as long as it takes Zack Greinke to heal and be back on the mound.  But that’s just my opinion.
