Can we sweep LA!?

  I sure hope so! I know it is a bit jinx-y to mention that before the 3rd game, but i still think we can get em tomorrow night for the sweep & the Giants have Cain on the mound, his last start was a little rusty but i think he can handle them tomorrow.  They deserve it because the Dodgers swept us last month at AT&T Park. Anyway Zito pitched okay today, but a lot better than his last few starts.  Too bad he didn’t get the W.  The Giants were behind 1-0 til the 8th inning when Buster Posey walked then Burrell smacked a 2 run hr off Broxton, who’s supposedly their superstar closer. Not this time! The last two games have been raging sellouts, i just love how everyone comes out to the ball park when the Dodgers are in town, being all worked up & etc.  Friday, Tim Lincecum was back into his CY Young form, he was really whipping past those Dodger hitters, except he gave up a homerun to Either. But it was a much better start than last week and got a ND ( thats the game that the Giants came back from behind in the 9th inning, best game all year!)
  Today was the trade deadline so the Giants dumped Joe Martinez & John Bowker, i liked both those guys! ;( Bowker was really tearing it up in AAA, i had thought they’d be bringing him up. So they both went to Pittsburgh for Javier Lopez a LH relief pitcher. I don’t think i’ve heard of him, well i was thinking of the old Braves catcher but obviously hes long since retired! Anyhow im gonna close now & looking forward to tomorrows game on ESPN! We haven’t been on espn all year, plus i wont have to mute the tv since Jon Miller does the broadcasting. Next time! GO GIANTS & BEAT L.A.!!

FanFest Story

 Hey everyone! So today was the SF Giants Fanfest, i am dead tired
right now so a lot of this won’t make sense.  Anyhow i left my house at
8:30 and got to the stadium 10 minutes before 10 and it took a 1/2 hour
just to get into the parking lot, we tried getting there at 9:30 but
with all the traffic in downtown SF it didnt work. So we started to go
up the top level and got in line, i cant remember which booth but the
players kept coming and leaving, the people moved at a 1/2 hour pace so
i dont think i would have made it cuz i had this twitter tour at 1 and
plus i wanted to see the stadium and get on the field since im always
in that promenade area.  The field was just filled with dirt and rain
puddles but still there were thousands of people running around etc, i
wish i went down there first to listen to the broadcasts, i did get to
hear Cain talk at the end there, it was hard to hear tho.  So anyway
when the tour was over i was followed by Jonathan Sanchez, i was
thinking it was a fan and i was asking him where everyone else went and
he looked at me funny then i saw #57 and was like “OMG was that
Sanchez!?” Its weird how they ignore the fans, i was like oh hi and he
like talked on his phone.  I guess it was like ‘ok weirdo i dont know
you” I think i got disconnected from the tour from taking too many
press box pics. But anyway i made it down to the clubhouse and two of
the players went to use the restroom, one was a rookie and couldnt
recognize him and the other guy was Aaron Rowand i think.   They were
funny tho, they were like ‘oh were just using the restroom”
Then, we
sat in the dugout and took pics then went on the field and the mound,
like the closest i’ll probably ever get to Timmy lol Saddenly, i didnt
see him at all, just heard him from the knbr booth. I am so excited for
the season to start.  I want to go to Scottsdale for spring training,
im sure im not doing anything productive here, i need my first
vacation. lol 12 days till pitchers & catchers report!  sorry if
this didnt make sense, im really tired but if i wrote later i probably
would’ve forgotten stuff. ;p  I can’t add photos because they’re too big to fit on here but you can look here on my new picasa album.  Let me know if this doesn’t work. thanks !
