It was a tough week with the government scandals in Washington and the Giants play in Toronto and Denver. The Giants lost five of six because of extremely poor pitching and horrible defense which looked as if the team did not know how to play the game. The Orange and Black like all teams do on occasion have a very bad week. The difference this time is the collapse of the pitching which has been so reliable for years. Can it be corrected? If it isn't the 2013 season could be very long. The government on the other hand knows how to play the game. All I heard all week was "I don't know" This should be a clue for young people looking for a job with the federal government. Answer every interview question, " I don't know" and you will feel right at home and the job will be yours.
Baseball Observations --- Mike Scioscia will not be fired as manager of the LA Angels of Anaheim because if he is the Dodgers will hire him immediately. . . When Coors Field opened twenty years ago you could not buy a ticket so it was heart warming to see large crowds return this weekend for the Giants series. . . Difference in the leagues --- The Sunday night pitcher for the Detroit Tigers Fister leads both major leagues in hit batsmen. He has more than many team totals. If he pitched in the National League he would have to bat every game and perhaps he wouldn't pitch so close to the batters to protect his own health.
