This weekend was the classic rivalry match up between the Dodgers & Giants.  It was a pretty good series, especially Saturday’s game.
 Friday night, the Dodgers were all over Wellemeyer but the game started to get exciting at the end when the Giants started to rally and Velez hit a 3 run homerun in the 9th inning making it 10-8 L.A. I had thought Wellemeyer was going to be a little better than he has been, he had a good spring training except for that one game against the A’s.  Hopefully he can turn it around for his next start in San Diego. 
    Saturday, Tim Lincecum was the star of the game with 3 hits and 3 rbi’s & allowed 4 hits,  7 K’s in 6 IP. The Giants mostly Lincecum hit the ball all over the place against Heager, its pretty sad thats LA’s number 2 starter. Since Timmy didn’t give up any runs, his era is below zero at 0.90 A much better start than he had at the beginning of last season. 9-0 Giants
 Sunday was good up until the 8th inning, it was a great pitching match up between Kershaw vs ZIto., no runs were scored till the top of the 7th with Uribe’s homerun, Zito had a great outing  , 7 1/3 IP and 3 K’s. In the bottom of the 8th the Dodgers have Rameriz pitch hit for the pitching spot, Zito walks Anderson then Bochy brings in Romo, who than gives up a two run hr to Manny. My heart just dropped! what the heck, the Giants scored all their runs yesterday so i guess they we’re out of gas. I was afraid 1-0 wasn’t going to be enough.
 On Saturday Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez threw  the first ever no hitter in Rockies history against the Braves. The only teams left are the Rays, Mets & Padres who haven’t thrown a no-hitter.  Its hard to believe the Mets haven’t because they’ve been around forever! Anyhow in St Louis, the Mets VS Cardinals didn’t score any runs till the 19th inning which i think is insane, It wasn’t on tv here but i cant imagine sitting that long for a ball game, it was indeed frustrating for Cardinal fans, since they’re obviously better than the Mets. I was surprised they didn’t suspend the game because of the new rules a few years ago?? I think the longest game ever was the Brewers and the Chicago White Sox in 1984 they went 25 innings. Anyhow I am gonna watch the game on espn, hopefully it won’t be as long & the Cards actually win.     Til next time! Im gonna try and post after every Giants game like i said i was gonna do !
