This was Bumgarner’s first-ever complete game, but really his first should’ve come in the 2010 World Series. He was cruising through the eighth, and Bochy pulled him for Wilson to start the ninth. Oh well.
Four straight Giants shutouts, and Cain starts tomorrow. They’re doing well. This is fun.
Lower deck, right field. Traffic was so horrible getting into the 'stick that I got there in like the 3rd inning, and missed somebody’s HR (JT Snow? Bonds?). Fortunately there were still 9 innings left.
Holy crap, is that jingle back? I haven’t heard that since, like 1975 (which happens to be the year our family TV broke and was never fixed or replaced).
I’m getting sick to death of the Pepsi commercial they run 5-6 times during every Mariners radio broadcast.
“Man, I’m digging this Melanie Amara track!”
"Do you know that if you play it backwards, you’ll hear subliminal messages?
first guy is so amazed he has a seizure
Good grief, is it the '80s again? Backward messages? Seriously? The stupid - it burns!
I’m generally of the opinion that a bad night at the ballpark is as good as a good night anywhere else. But last night at Busch in 100+ degree heat getting watching Wainwright and the bullpen get pummeled was the exception.
At least Carlos Beltran got his 2000th hit… so congrats to him, I guess.
Jim Thome is an Oriole now. The AL East just got more interesting and it already was pretty interesting. It probably won’t happen, but this could be the year that neither the Yanks or the BoSox make the playoffs.
Uh-oh. Votto left the game with a boo-boo to his left knee. Could the this be the break the Pirates were looking for? Maybe, except McCutchen left his game with a wrist injury. Go Cards!
The D-backs have had a great June, they’re only 3.5 games out in the NL West. Carlos Lee doesn’t want to go to the Dodgers, who have been beyond horrible going 1-9 in their last ten games.
Another NL West championship for the D-backs looks possible as we move into July.
