Giants Midnight Replay

Never Forget (Ex-Giants)

I’ve got midterms ok!!! geeeeeez. Plus no one offered to help with the blog!!! I’m a little tense at the moment!!!! Cody Ross’s calf just went BOOM and Moses’ oblique is sore, can you blame me for being a bit stressed.

Ok let’s cure all this misery and visit some of our old friends who have moved on.

—————————————————————————————————-

Oh Randy Winn, how long shall you roam the outfield before you see the postseason? From the looks of that bird on your hat, it’s gonna be a while. At least you strike out with style………. oh geez I need a beer before I continue….. hold on….

Hello my name is “No One Remembers Me”…. first one to guess correctly gets my eternal sympathy……. damn, I forgot to get my beer……. hold on…

Jamey Wright, one time rival for prettiest man in the Giants rotation with Noah Lowry, is now flaunting his hunky 6,6 frame for all the seattle broads. Seattle is his 9th team in 11th years. 

“Don’t get Joe Martinez’ed”…… my girlfriend and I were saying that all last year every time something was thrown at our faces. Now, “Don’t get Joe Martinez’ed” means… don’t get traded to a shitty team, only to be traded to an even shittier team. poor bastard. 

OMG! It’s an Ex-Giant double header! Joe Martinez fools Fred Lewis with a pitch…… straight down the middle of the plate. 

Biggest clue that you’re watching an Astros game…… They are selling “all you can eat” tickets…. oh ya.. and Matt Downs might make the club while batting a surprising .354 worth of bad hop grounders and dry air aided home runs down in AZ. 

I DARE you to guess who this is! ok it’s Pat Misch who has a chance to crack the bullpen with the Mets, not that that is saying much. the Mets are terrible.  Trust me I have to go to their games. 

Look it’s Bengie Molina…. No….. wait… it’s what we got for Bengie Molina along with Michael Main and  -$2,000,000. (ya… 2 million dollars„, that’s 1.5 million more than I will EVER see)

I was on my yearly family camping trip one summer, when I headed into the nearest town to get my coffee fix. I jumped online just to see what was happening on the trade front…. Turns out we had just sent Matt Morris out to pasture (pittsburgh) and gotten the speedy Rajai Davis in return…… aaah good times… Anyone remember why we let this guy go? Wasn’t it to fit Jesus Guzman on the roster or something terrible like that?

ahhhh Bowker walking back to the dugout with a quizzical look on his face. A sight we all saw a bit too often. Actually, sitting over here in Brooklyn, I am definitely gonna try to hit up a Pittsburgh game this year. You could get tickets right behind home plate for like…. $27.  

Speaking of Pirates…. Kevin Correia continues his misery tour of total crap teams as he gets the nod for an OPENING DAY START!!!! ARE YOU JOKING! 

Ok take care, and let’s all cross our fingers and pray for Rowand to get traded…. As you all should be doing every night before you go to bed.

Spring Training Game #(who cares)

Ok I am officially tired of posting for spring training games. It’s just harder to get amped up for a game that means nothing and now it’s just the last stand for some of our AAAA guys. So instead of my usual in depth analysis (haha), I will now just resort to posting stupid pictures to describe how the game went. 

The only other disappointment that I wanted to note was that Ishikawa and Schierholtz still seem really really rusty…… zoiks. Is it time for Bowkermania in right field? 

Oh and also…… Zito was actually pitching pretty good……….. for Zito.

40 Giants in 37 days

John Bowker

How will he do this year?

There is a lot of talk around the twittersphere/nerdosphere about how “The Bowk” is the breakout candidate at this years camp. And beyond the fact that he reminds me of a young left handed Aaron Rowand, he just has to really fix one thing….. STOP SWINGING AT BREAKING BALLS!!!!! How Bowker does this year is directly linked to how he nervously swings at balls that scrap his ankles. I wish it was as simple as getting glasses to be able to see the seams on the ball spin a certain way. It just seems that Bowker is waving away his chance at a pretty decent career.

Do I like the guy?

If I mentioned Rowand and him in the same paragraph you can pretty much guess where I am going with this one.

Would I hang out with him?

Not unless I was at a high school party and I was a drunk chick.

Will he have an essential part on the 2010 Giants?

This depends….  I think we all have a small clue with the way he hit at AAA last year that Bam Bam fixed his swing. So it’s all about hitting bomb after bomb in spring training to show the coaches that it’s for real this time. Personally I think he could be huge for us this year. Unfortunately he smells a bit too much like Fransen/Linden/Ortimeier that he will probably get passes up. I predict he hits 20+ HRs……… for a different team.
