I wonder how Cody Ross got his nickname.
Is anyone else tired of looking at Cody’s pearly whites?
Here is a slightly less happy cody……. slightly.
oooooooh my god… aahhhhhhhhh tooo many smiles!
Is this a smile?…… of a wince…….. or a fart?
ok ok ok, it’s genuine. If you are smiling this big as a kid then you deserve to wear it the rest of the way.
Giants lose to the Reds 3 to 6

Sometimes you catch the ball…… sometime it goes WAAAAAY over your head
——————————————————————————————————-
2 out of 5 Neukoms
- 3 walks taken
- way to many first pitch swings against Harrang that kept him in the game WAY too long.
- 0 for 5 with RISP
- Romo gave up a BOMB on a first pitch gimmie
- Pat Burrell killed a pretty nice rally in the 8th with a GIDP
- Dirty Sanchez walked in a run which is a cardinal sin in anyone’s book.
- Travis had a pinch hit strike-out LOOKING with a runner on 3rd base
- Torres made some pretty good plays.
- but he definitely missed this one.
——————————————————————————————————-
The Strawberry Shortcake award (hero) goes to Buster Posey for hitting his first career home run and it was a bomb.
The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak award (villain) goes to Orlando Cabrera and Travis Ishikawa. Cabrera for going 4 for 5, and Ishikawa for watching that damn 3rd strike go right by him with a runner at 3rd with 1 out…… CANNOT DO THAT!
——————————————————————————————————-
Extras:
Whiteside makes a terrific catch early in the game.
The only offensive highlight of the night. Posey takes Harrang deep
The most FUCKING FREAKY mascot in ALL of baseball. HOLY SHIT someone please kill this thing.
Another REALLY nice play by Whiteside, starting a DP off of a bunt.
Don’t mess with us Reds. We will kneecap your ass.
Whiteside makes the best play that was never a play. Phantom tag, and we couldn’t even when with the umps in our pocket.
More Dancing….. this time at the keystone.
Corky Miller has a MUTHA-FUCKIN MUSTACHE!!!
J/K
Matt Cain shuts out the Reds 3 to 0
Screenshot of the game.
God that is one beautiful swing!
——————————————————————————————————-
4 out of 5 Neukoms
- 7 walks taken, 6 in our first 4 batters
- 2 GIDP
- 3 muffled plays by Sandoval
- Molina GUNS someone trying to steal 2nd
- 2 for 10 with RISP
- 12 LOB
- 9 inning shutout by our staff ace
- Torres was his usual AMAZING self in the outfield.
——————————————————————————————————-
The Homer Simpson award (Hero) goes to Bengie Molina, because everyone has been taking a dump on his head lately and I just thought he needs some recognition as much as he needed those hits tonight.
The Montgomery Burns award (villain) goes to Stephen Strausburg for stealing the spotlight on Matt Cain’s night to shine…. (sorry it’s hard to pick a villain when all our hitters did well, even huff and sanchez who both went 0-3 got 2 walks a piece.
——————————————————————————————————-
extras:
Another flub by Pablo
More bobbles by Posey
Big Money gets a nice hit.
Even Matt Cain got into it with two hits and a RBI
Thats it…. strangely I kept missing stuff when I got up to eat. And this was just a rather slow game with Cain shutting the Reds down so effectively.
Giants beat the Reds 6 to 5
Screenshot of the game
Bearded Romo, and the Bullpen stuff the last 3+ innings down the Reds throat.
————————————————————————————————-
Another 4 out of 5 Neukoms rating.
- A GREAT saving catch by Huff
- Uribe with 4 RBI
- only 2 walks taken
- 5 for 10 with RISP
- No GIDP (although pablo got close)
- oh ya and Buster posey completes a strike’em out throw’em out with 3 feet to spare!!!
- Andres Torres made the catch of the game in left field in the 9th
——————————————————————————————————
The Smokey The Bear award (hero) goes to Juan Uribe for racking up 4 out of our 6 RBI……. it was going to be the bullpen for not giving up a run, but Uribe just played too big a part.
The Forest Fire award (villain) goes to Bochy and Adrian Gonzales…. Bochy for not pulling Zito one batter earlier. And Adrian Gonzales for breaking up the phillies no-hit bid and basically won the game, keeping the padres cushion intact.
——————————————————————————————————
Extras:
Fancy Socks himself gets a couple RBI
Uribe is not that sneaky
I don’t think Posey will be steal a lot of bases
Maybe I should set this picture up as it’s own URL/BLOG/WEBSITE and just have this picture and a comments section. I could probably get about 1000 comments. Don’t get me wrong…. Rowand is busting my balls lately! But this was a tough catch, he is both feet off the ground and is fully extended. I’m just saying….. pick your battles or you lose your validity.
Zito + Bandbox Ballpark = At least one of these per game….
GANGSTA!!!!!!!! This is my favorite player for a while now.
I want to see this scene ……….. a lot.
