See You Latos
Giants win 6 to 4….. BUT I don’t care what happened the rest of the game. We got Latos for four runs in the first. And that makes me happy.

Last year while working at my old place of employment I had a running dialog with one of my co-workers Sinclair, who just happened to be a Boston Red Sox fan. It was around this time last year and the Giants were killing it in spring training. I was listening to all the games since it had been a long off season. Every day I would trudge through the snow on my way to serve skinny lattes to god-awful Carroll Gardens dwellers. But every day I had one more victory to goad about when I got to work. Finally when spring training was almost over I was once again rubbing the Giants spring training record in Sinclair’s face…. I remember him saying… ” You know they don’t hand out rings for winning the Cactus League” ……”Don’t they……” I said “Don’t they”… At that point….sure…. I was full of shit. But I did add…”we’ll see”.
I quit that job, it was a nightmare. My boss was am overbearing lady with no real experience with running a coffee shop. I left for greener pastures, my friend Sinclair stayed there and eventually became manager. I came back to visit him after the Giants won the world series, naturally and reminded Sinclair of our conversation.

A couple of players broke out of their slumps tonight. Good for you cabbage patch kid!
Rowand: “Yeah… I think this strange appendage hanging out of my right shoulder is what is wrong with my swing”
Bochy: “uuuuuhh……. I think that’s your arm”
Rowand: “ya that thing”
dude…. look how short Fontenot is compared to the ump…. thats crazy!
They Finnerty’s in NYC where my girlfriend and I watched the game, I thought it would be cool to snap a screenshot when they showed it on TV. Turns out that both of us are in it. I’m wearing the Giants hat on the lower left corner with the beard, and my girl is in front of me in the beanie. Yay, that about 1:30 of my 15 minutes already used up.
Bobbles:
Pablo get eaten up at the hot corner
Daigle is killing me, he always comes in late and blows meaningless games, which I don’t really care about, but it makes the game drag on and on! “Dude… You forgot the ball”
Raj “So you got a hit….. That’s good”
Rowand ………………………..(crickets)……………………
Brandon Belt, snaps out of his “slump” with this hit.
Kevin Frandsen is a cute puppy who wants to snuggle in your armpit.
Here’s to you skinny Pablo
Yeah… Little Babe Ruth…… just for today.
