She knows i have days that I am not very mobile and love baseball and the Giants! A very loving gift from her, actually.

Heck yeah! I have a very dear friend who's husband loves baseball as much as I do. He tapes games for me, (any game will do, I'm not picky) and I watch them when I need some down time. I also watch them through the winter. Yes, I miss baseball that baddly, that I will watch old games. (as long as I haven't watched the game, its not old to me)

Pittsburgh Vs. The new York Mets. The bucco's won fair and square last night 3 to 2. It was completely sold out. Even standing room only was sold out. The largest crowd in ten years! YES!!!

We have lost both of our catchers to injury, and have an untested minor leaguer playing every day. Our minor leaguer who was ready for call up, also was buried at the plate and out on injury. So, the team has to over come this hurdle. Two more home games with the Mets as the Pirates continue to play 500 ball. (sorry, but we haven't had that in 18 years)
I see lots of people wearing Pirate gear, last season they dogged you if you wore any garb! Let's go Buc's.

I dont know about Pittsburg hitters but their pitchers are looking good. Have both Correia and Morton on my fantasy team.

Mets arent looking as bad as last year. Less injuries have helped. The owner calling them a bunch of overpaid primadonna types might have spurred them a bit. Tho tough love in baseball can come back to bite you in the bum.

And Joel Hannaran....(our closer, he's got some HEAT.) We are hoping a couple of pitchers get selected to the all star game (unlike years past, a player was picked by default). Charlie Morton has been something! The Mets fans travel well.

I hope the All-Star voting this year will be based on accomplishment rather than popularity. With so many injuries to starting players, the youngsters and bench warmers have shown some real surprising stuff. Hopefully they will be rewarded for their efforts.

Injuries are really messing up the Giants. Yesterday, the Reds smacked them all over the field. Timmy had yet another lousy day on the mound and freddie sanchez got hurt on a play.

The Panda will be back Tuesday against the D-backs, thankfully. But some key players are not going to be back- and Posey is out for the season.

Giants hitting is awful lately.

Yes! This kid the pirates have catching, Brown, was from double A (again because our triple A guy was also injured) While Brown was not perfect, I thought he handeled himself pretty well.

I'm currently giving Lyle Overbay (or Overpaid as I heckle him) a get out of jail-free card, as our catching situation is critical. Overpaid has almost as many strikeouts as hits, is batting .233, has something like 7 errors and is making 5 million dollars. (the highest on our payroll). One of the sports radio shows had a caller call in and ask why Steve Pearce wasn't being given an opportunity to take that job and the sports writer said Overbay is good in the locker room. I don't even want to know what that means.

Good in the locker room usually means a leader type others look up to. Is a good thing.

Try not to be too hard of Overbay. He was always overrated in my book. But at least your management didnt dish out 50 million just to talk to Dice-K Mastusucker. He is now awaiting Tommy John surgery. That was a huge waste of money for the past few years.

The Bosox, take on the Pirates next weekend if memory serves. Finally get to see them in action. Wooohooo.
