AHaha, yea I've heard the stories :D I really must admit that we Giants are really lucky though to have such great commentators. When comcast cable had that free mlb league pass for the first week of the season I went through a bunch of games and honestly, everyone else is BORING! Kruk and Kuip, 2 of the best in the business! Everyone else can just "grab some pine meat" :D :woot: :hehe:

LOL! :hehe:

Yep, that's true. We certainly are blessed with good commentators.

for the benifit of those in the east coast, do you mean john kruk? i don't think he was a pitcher. i rememberd when he was a hitting machine with the pad's and the phillies.

Don't forget Jon Miller and the noob, Flem. My radio station is locked to KNBR whenever possible.

Concerning the DL woes of the Giants, there was a little note by Tim Kawakami of the SJ Mercury News in today's paper:

Giant banners saluting Bonds, Schmidt, Benitez, Moises Alou, J.T. Snow, and Omar Vizquel currently line the stadium. If Snow and Vizquez get hurt this year, the Giants will hit the D.L. pick-six.

Sad, but true. :sweat:

John "I am not a" Kruk was one of my fav' players back in college.


Kruk' is short for Mike Krukow:

*damn i hate tha jankees,* (how some spanish ppl in my school pronounce it)
i know this thread is mainly guys n stuff..(and by the way this has nothing to do with my loyalty! i have always loved the mets, my entire family since, my grandpa grew up rooting fer the amazins,)
but mets always support japanese players, they have had several on their team, straight outta japan within tha past few years. shinjo was my guy,
but now i love kaz :smitten:
plus they have a japnese pitcher,( who blew the game last week! :cursing: )

Milton Bradley's hits a grand slam in the 8th inning for the Dodgers andd they beat the Braves, 7-4. :woot:

Beating up on the Astros again. Of course we don't feel sorry for them at all since they won the wild card last year :hehe: :hehe:

Yeah, I don't feel sorry at all, since they've got that punk Clemens.

I was at the Padres vs Marlins game tonight. Peavy pitched another great game, and Hoffman got it done with 4 pitches in the ninth. The Padres won 10 out of 12 and are 1 game out in the west. Also, came home and saw myself in the stands on the game replay, haha :mrgreen:

He shut us down tonight. Damn it. Tomko pitched great up until that one mistake to Biggio and Berkman hit a pretty tough pitch to give them the game. So close yet so far.

Gagne got roughed up for you guys eh? Gives us Giants fans a tingly feeling to see that :hehe: :hehe:

I haven't kept up wit baseball lately but i see the A's are doin pretty awful so far. I flip through the channels 2day n saw that they were down 12-4 or sumthing like that in the 4th inning against the Yankees i think it was....my memory seems to be fading :sweat:

Ehh, it's his first game back and the Dodgers were already down 3-1... Not worried at this point... And Brazoban has been doing quite well in Gagne's place... :)

True, but we might not see Gagne get hit this bad again so we gotta enjoy it while it last :hehe: :hehe:

8th straight win by the Yanks, Tino came up with two HR the first two times he stepped up the plate and has been walked after that :hehe: He's now tied with A-Rod at first place :victory:

lost 4 out of the last five games......man this sux :shakehead:

Dodgers lose again and fall from first to third place. :bleh:

Another comeback for the Padres vs the Braves. This means we are tied for first with Arizona :woot: 5 wins in a row.
