Giants Baseball

I think Duane Kuiper puts it best:

"Giants Baseball: Torture"

Let me set the scene
Santiago Casilla comes in and can't throw a strike to save his life, and then proceeds to walk the basesloaded then gets to a 2-2 count, 2 outs, in a 4-3 game, and then out of nowhere Casilla throws a perfect slider down and away. Strike three.

Fantastic, now I need a defibrillator.

Then Bochy sends Casilla out for the 8th. He promptly gets 2 outs, Bochy comes out and puts Wilson in. Excellent Wilson has been lights out latel.... he gave up a hit. Ok, that's fine. Wait... now a walk to David Ortiz? Is the defibrillator charged up, I might need another fix. Strike three to Scudero. WHEW. Thought I just might pass out on that one.

After all, what's a Brian Wilson save without a 3-2 count in a high stress situation?

I swear he'll give up a homer to look that much more manly when he closes the door.

On a side note, we have the best announcing crew in baseball, and not just on the radio or TV side, across all mediums. If you've never watched baseball, you'll learn the game in no time listening to Kruk and Kuip.
