GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

So frustarted with the same old lack of offense loses for SF!! Vogelsong puts up fantastic pitching numbers and our bats do nothing!! AZ's Hudson is a hell of a pitcher too- but dammit!!! They seem to get hot, but it is always short lived. Frankly, Sandoval has not hit worth beans since he came back from the DL a couple of months ago.

Beltran & Keppinger have little bloops of great hitting, then..... nada...

We go to SD tomorrow- who knows- now back 7.

The good news is that Buster Posey is recovering quite well from his mega injury early on in the season and it looks like he will play again- which was in question.

Vogelsong went 7 with giving up a hit, then in the 8th, the Dbacks woke-up and SF just did not hit or get the hell on base.

So frustrating! But, I will be as big of Giants fan tomorrow as ever....

BoSox are now 1.5 behind the Yanks after todays loss. Lackey back to lacking again. Have a reasonable lead in the wild card race tho.

We head to Toronto tomorrow. After being beaten handily by the Yanks this weekend, they will be looking to break out against my guys. Then we have Tampa Bay. Gonna be a long freakin month LOL.

Is Posey maybe going to play again this season?

Looks like my AL team (BoSox) are very much in contention! Sooooooo much closer than my Giants and the Dbacks. But, they were 6 back at the end of September last year. I just don't see the same "magic"

.

Posey will maybe be back sometime next season. he still has a long way to go. But, his progress is good. He says he will catch again- I think that is nuts! The guy has experience at other positions and is a great hitter- I don't get his wanting to catch after that accident. However, he has had the super of the supers as surgeons and sports rehab specialists- who knows what is possible. He's young and strong and dedicated to the game. He is such a force on the team- I'm glad he is now in the dugout during games.

SF has had serious injuries to key players throughout the season- I think that has taken one hell of a toll, especially with meshing together which was so much a part of the 2010 WS team.

It seems to me that Boston might very well be a force in the playoffs- kewl! There are some damn good teams in the AL this season- they have a lot to do, but, 1.5 games out is not bad at all.

SF not only needs to win just about every game, but the Dbacks have got to lose more than a few!! And I just feel like SF really needs to re-think their offensive coaching. It isn't working! And there are guys that are not hitting that certainly have in the past.

I just have to give our guy Mo Rivera his props. I have never seen him actually hit a guy, but he did today...wow. But they won.

This guy is FORTY-ONE and is still pitching 94 mph and he is still one of the best closers out there. Almost 600 saves. The dude is just amazing.

PS-sorry about Beckett all. I hope he doesn't even miss one game. He's great!

I predict the BoSox will be in first before the end of the season...you guys are good. Its been a see-saw season.

YES! A win! These days, SF has got to get them all!! Will the offense continue to bring in runs??? September is so wild and nail-biting.

Loved seeing my favorite rookie play yesterday and our bats working- Crawford at SS. Bumgarner blows me away- if he is this good at 22, what will he be like on the mound in a couple of years? What a kid- I remember him last year as a rookie pitcher in the post season as cool as a veteran.

September baseball is sooooooooooooooooo intense!

I FINALLY had time to watch baseball on the weekend. It is intense. I was thinking of you ALH when I was watching SF on Sunday. ( I think it was Sunday)

Verlander is an AWESOME pitcher. Totally into the game, great eye. good control. Yup love watching him.

Buster Posey.... bravo you young kid. I am rooting for him. He can hit, he is well liked, he is a great team player. And he is a fantastic catcher. But, I agree why would you do that? But, players get moved around in spots.

Anyway, just piping in. I had no time in August to watch any ball. <insert super sad face>. September is intense. The announcing even changes. So few games, so few nails left!!

Oh, it is heating up! SF has developed some offense with September call-ups, especially Bret Pill. But, they lost yesterday to SD in a game that they should have won.

Hell yes, Verlander is something!! The Tigers are tearing it up out there overall and I am really looking foreward to The AL play-offs- almost as much as the NL, where my heart resides. If Verlander does not get the Cy Young, it would stink. The guy will be among the greats in baseball history.

Yes, Posey and catching again... I don't know if anyone else saw how Carlos Beltran demonstrates the way to slide into home- thing of beauty. He gets the run without putting himself or a catcher in danger of serious injury. And the guy has lousy knees! Players really do not have to smash catchers to hell in order to get the run. Skill and knowing how to have a long career on the field goes a long way.

AZ is really hot and determined- my guess is that they take our conference and SF is a wild-card in the play-offs. We still have some holes that I think will not be filled in time and the Dbacks have the mojo going! I can see them in the WS- just have to see.

Home stand against the Dodgers for SF starting Friday. SD is playing AZ for a series. I think AZ will sweep- damn!!

Yelloband- geez, the Pirates have fallen so much! Sux- they have a lot of talent.
