Well, we are still loosing to the Brewers, and we need to be beating them. I think they've given up on the dream team....as I said we are getting 15 seconds of sports coverage. Also, the ball park is selling specials again to get fan's in......and they already announced an increase in ticket prices. But realistically, can you go to any major league game and sit in the cheap seats for $8.00, a little better for $10.00 and not too bad for $12.00?

I sit in club seats and they sell for $58.00.....but I don't pay $58.....huge discount to season ticket holders, but really.....isn't that extremely affordable and I don't care if we've been the worst team in baseball for 18 years.....(hell, parking can be $25.00) of course, we ride bicycles. FREE!

I always find August to be crazy in baseball. The post-trade struggles to jell together and the (hopefully) injured players getting back always seem to have August in a mess. Teams know that the race to the play-offs is on for real.

I am not seeing the teamwork right now in SF. Just a lot of trying to figure a way to merge talent to try and make-up for deficits. What is making me nuts are the veteran players taking pitches like rookies!

SF won yesterday and drove in 5 runs- whew! But, we shall see............ today they start a series in Atlanta.

I was watching a sports talk show and they have mathmatically decided it's impossible for us now, and we will loose 90 to 95 games again. I keep meaning to look this up and figure out if that was inflamatory. The Brew Crew swept us too.

I, for one, will be very happy to see those minor league players get back up here. That's how we were winning. They played with the same fire Micheal McHenry plays with each night. He snagged two again last night. One trying to steal second on him, The Second baseman was actually waiting on the runner, the ball was so precisely thrown, and another one was someone taking too big of a lead at first.

We have the WORST hitting in baseball. I know I talked about that earlier in the season. I don't know why this hitting coach still has his job. Where we were, and where we are. Wow. Just wow. The basement Bucs.

I'll keep going to the games and cheering them on. I can't help but think how dissapointing this is for the players.

They come home today (to rain)....hopefully its better than the last homestand.

Hey, I have been wanting the SF batting coach outta' there for a long time. Our respective teams must be the worst in the league offensively. Makes me crazy!!! But, I am forever a Giants fan- had many more years of them losing than winning and stuck with them. Right now, I don't recognize them! They have had a couple of games with much better hitting, but my gut says.. UGH!!!

are in a three game series with the Cardnials, then the Reds then the brewers. We have to win them all. Thats who is ahead of us in the division. Ryan Doumit caught the game last night, Micheal Mchenry is a better catcher, but Ryan has that bat, and he's good on both sides of the dish. He went four for four with a go ahead home run. I've always liked him because he's a scrapper. He's been on the trading block for two years now, and I wish they'd just trade him and let him get on with his career. He'd do well in the AL as a DH.....there is some talk of converting him to a firstbaseman. So Derek Lee, who was hit by a pitch in the second game he played for us, it's finally been determined he has a broken wrist. UUUGH.

I'm like you At Last, I cheer for what ever is on the field. Three more week end home series.....6 more weeks of regular play. Fast season when you're having fun. We are currently 56-63.....well, we only won 56 games all last season....so that comment by the sportscaster was inflamatory. Someday I'll learn, they are not fans. There job is to have viewers.

August baseball always makes me crazy. The BoSox just dropped 2 of 3 to Seattle. We play 3 in 2 days with Tampa Bay and then the Yanks come to town.

The Blue Jays are surging out of nowhere. The White Sox are making a run for it. The White Sox? Really?

It's August.

Let the fun begin.

I know, August tears me up!! SF lost yesterday to Atlanta in the bottom of the 9th after holding a great lead. Brian Wilson just blew it.

Geez, the BoSox were on a roll last month! Yellow's Pirates are also having the "August" whackos.... Yeah, the White Sox?

Craziness abounds!!
