After coming to life in the last two games against the Rockies over the weekend the Giants again looked dead in their loss to the A's on Monday. . .Not like recent years the Giants are scoring plenty of runs but pitching is a problem that might be difficult to correct. The starters are getting hit regularly which forces the relief staff to pitch more. This has obviously effected Konkos who can't seem to get anyone out lately. . . If you read this blog last Wednesday it is no surprise that the rookie left hander Michael Kickham just up from Fresno will start tonight's game. . . Pablo worries me. It has been reported that he has been under the weather for the past six days and he does look sick at the plate. He is not the same. Could it be that some thing else is on his mind like drug testing or another potential law suit? I certainly hope not but these are thoughts I have had looking at the usual jovial Panda the past few days. . . In recent years on major American holidays the major league baseball teams have worn caps with red, white and blue team emblems. This year they went all out to honor the military with all teams wearing special uniforms for the day; a wonderful gesture. But why did they make the uniforms so ugly? I was reminded after viewing those vets at the baseball games yesterday without arms or legs that 'War is Hell'. America has a long history of presidents that have lied to the country to get us involved in wars.
A note on the NBA --- I was certainly wrong about the Grizzles taking care of the Spurs. That's the last time I listen to my NBA scout. Come to think of it, if the Warriors had not blown that first game against the Spurs they could have won that series. . . I read where Dwight Howard is interested in signing with the GS Warriors. How could the Warriors even entertain the thought to sign a player that has a history of destroying teams and turning off fans?
