Hummm... tonight we play your Pirates! I guess if SF loses to them, I can be a little happy that I know a Pirates fan that will be happy.

Betran has started to hit for us- so has Keppinger. But my favorite rookie (Crawford) is back at the minors because Fontenot is back from his injury and Keppinger is at 2nd and then there is Belt. Phooey!! But that's baseball! he'll be back!

Ugh, Beltran hurt his wrist yesterday and Huff pulled something. He has been in a hitting slump anyway- so maybe he ought to take a rest. And Nate the Great, usually very consistent has been really terrible with hitting.

Lincecum was brilliant yesterday against the Phillies- and I loved it as their manager put he and Cain down at the start of the series. Jerk. Timmy is a 2 time Cy Young winner and hit over a 1000 strike outs last month.

The game against the Pirates starts at 7.... I'll be watching!!

And looks like the BoSox are doing great! kewl!

Thats 10p here. I'll be sound asleep by then. The Pirates need a pick me up in the worst of ways. They had a mini come back going yesterday in the bottom of the 8th, with no outs....two runners on board and Brandon Wood connected for I think his first home run of the season, making it 7 to 3. The meat of the line up was due up.....and three consecutive outs. They could hardly get themselves back onto the field. The game ended, and they had to leave to come to California and they just sat in the dug out.... The treatment they recieved from the fans, no one deserved. I guess we forgot they are people. I don't mean me, I never once booed, or stood and ovated an inning ending out. People screaming same old Buc's.
Pedro Alveres left 11 batters on base on friday with 4 inning ending double plays and every time he came up to bat (currently batting 198) they screamed you suck you suck. Imagine what that does to your confidence.

Well, I still believe. My Jolly Roger is just waiting for me to hang off of my balcony and wave it to passer by's. Even if it's just a dream.

Derreck Lee is feeling better. He'll be in the line up. Ryan Doumit is back too.
