Annual Black and Purple Thread

Colorado used to be automatic wins for us.

The Rockies' bats sure woke up for this series. Rosario went bananas.

They looked good. The NL West is turning out to be a very competitive division.


still waiting for the return of the dodgers.. can't stay healthy, don is about to get sacked, probably couldn't win anyways... oh well

The funny part is, at the starting line it looked like a 2 horse race... LA and SF. But the division seems pretty balanced at this point. Even the Padres are looking decent.

The Dodgers though, yeah... they're struggling.
 
the tribe walks one off again! yan gomes went gonzo twice. walkoffs in three games of our four-game sweep on seattle. won 5 in a row and 18 of 22. it seems like we get rolling like this every year until mid-july when things start falling apart...
 
I used to follow the Indians back in the day. I was a huge fan of Omar Vizquel. Him playing in SF for a few years was like my greatest dream come true.
 
Who's feeling bad about taking a 6-0 start on the road, then going 10-9 against a team with 13-14 solid offensive options? Also, Rox cracked Lincecum back when he was good, so no surprise to me.

Sure, runs, but I'm not feeling good about those box scores. That's the Rox core pitching getting banged on.

Nevertheless, I think Colorado exorcised some mini-demons. They appear to be trending in the right direction.

Also, Helton needs to shave that gawd-awful goatee. I'm sure he's a good guy, but he looks like a super-douche.
 
Only 3 teams pitchers have given up more runs than the Giants. The Giants are lucky to even be close to a Division race.
I think only Colorado will be in the running for the division with Arizona unless something changes big time.
 
Vogelsong has GOT to get his crap together. Cain and MadBum will be solid overall. Lincecum and Zito... well, I'm still optimistic. Cautiously optimistic.

Also, as long as I'm venting about the pitching staff, why do they keep handing Casilla the ball? I cringe every time Bochy puts him in. I wanna see more Mijares, less Casilla.

I say he can keep it if he retires. He's hurting the team at this point but has too much clout to get benched or even sent to DL when injured for a few weeks. Great run, time to hang up the cleats.

I always wished my first name was Todd, then I could say my name is Todd, Todd Blankenship.

Oh, I also wish my last name was Blankenship.
 
That Giants comeback last night was pretty cool. RBI triple on the last out, 2 strikes bottom of the 9th to tie... then a 2 run HR from Sandoval who was sick and got IV's before the game... better not have been steroid IV's. Either way, was pretty cool.

Even though their pitching has been getting lit up, luckily their offense is close to top in MLB right now.
