Oh Giants

Buster Posey debuted yesterday. He had a fairly productive day, playing first base. I suppose I don't mind that much that he isn't catching at the moment, I mean, his bat probably is better than anyone not named Sandoval on that team, and bengie isnt terrible. Well, for now at least. But bengie wasnt playing yesterday, fucking whiteside was. Youre really going to start whiteside over Buster fucking Posey? The whole excuse for keeping him down was to work on his receiving, why the hell would you not play him at catcher on bengies off day. At least it wasn't the stupidest occurrence yesterday. That would belong to kendry morales. holy crap was that funny. I mean, yea, score some bad karma points to me for laughing at a guy for breaking his leg, but when an angel hurts himself during a celebration, i'm going to laugh.

Hanging Around

Around the .500 mark that is. Pretty much what I expected out of this team. BUT! But, the difference is that this team has been absolutely raped by injuries. I mean arguably our best position player and best pitcher have already missed time. Still have a free agent signing that hasn't seen any playing time. Ellis has missed time. I could keep going but we all know the injury luck we've had. And yet we are still managing an even record. When Anderson comes back we should be right back in the mix for first. And if the young pitchers can improve a bit as the year progresses (is that way too much to ask?) this team could get really really exciting really really fast. I hope the whole Ross in the rotation thing works out, I'm really optimistic about this guy, mostly because he's a local guy.

PERFECT

Never in a million years did I think this could happen. I mean come, it's Dallas Braden. Craft lefty with a mid 80's fastball. And it's the Rays! One of the better offenses in baseball. I only wish I could have seen it on something other than gameday. You know between the hilarious interviews, the "get off my fucking mound!" hysteria, and now a perfect game, I'm pretty sure Dallas Braden is like the most entertaining A I've ever witnessed. Dude is pure awesome.
