The Giants were Sloppy, Stupid and Swept by the Dodgers in the just concluded three game series. In the eighth inning of the second game Tuesday is one example of sloppy play. The Dodgers had a runner on first. The next batter hits a double play ball to Crawford who flipped to Scutaro who could not get the ball out of this glove and was late on the throw to first. The next batter hit a smash through the legs of Sandoval who at 280 lbs is having trouble at third for an error. Then the next batter hit another double play ball to Crawford and this time the short stop bobble enough to prevent the Giants from getting a double play.
In the top of ninth the Giants showed their only life of the series. They got four hits in a row. Then Perez is given the bunt sign. I have said before never give a team an out when you have them on the ropes. That is what I call stupid baseball. Perez failed to bunt and ended up flying out but the bat was taken out of his hand and the Giants went quietly. Is there any wonder the Dodgers swept the Giants easily.
I can't believe the Giants 'experts' I hear on television to bring up Gary Brown that's the solution. Every since his first year in Class A he has flopped big time. These same experts feel the Giants will bonce back because they are World Champions. Yes they are champs but now without pitching. The Giants will battle Colorado for the honor to push up daisey's in the NL West. They should be sellers and not buyers at the trade deadline because that is where you can get a good deal. Four players the Giants should consider trading if they can can get real solid prospects in return are Zito, Lincecum and Arias because of contract issues and Sandoval because he will always be a problem
Football Notes: The NCAA slapped Oregon on the wrist indicating again that it is all about money. After the penalties given to USC any other penalty is really nothing.. . Was glad to see with all the changes in conferences that USC will continue to play Notre Dame through 2023 a rivalry that dates back to 1926... USC was granted complete control of the Coliseum. Don't be dumb USC, tear the place down like Stanford did and build a new stadium. . . I recently mentioned the NFL new rules for entering the stadium. I must add that you are allowed to bring in a cell phone because they can and probably will monitor all your calls, a radio with an electronic device that can set off a bomb and there are exceptions for medical reason which means that those that who need marijuana for medical reasons will be able to smoke in the no smoking stadium. The NFL better be careful for Uncle Sam will be after them for allowing their fans to destroy the 'O' Zone. On occasion when I and my wife lungs weren't as clear as they should be our doctor prescribed 'ProAir an oral inhalation prescription. One of my wife's friend recently told her that her insurance company would not pay for this medication in the future because after you inhale and breathe out you destroy the "O" zone. I am not kidding and either are those pot smoking Ivy league dummies in Washington who know it all. Speaking of dummies but this one from Stanford, Chelsea Clinton gave a talk saying that she wished Planned Parenthood was around when her grandmother gave birth to a illegitimate child. She was really saying she should not have been born and come to think of it either should have her mother. Maybe she not so dumb after all. The NFL is receiving many complaints about eliminating cushions from being brought into the stadium. The NFL is telling them you should have paid $30,000 for a seat license if you wanted to be comfortable. Oh yes did you see that it was a good day for the NFL yesterday when only two players got arrested for attempted murder. The heroes of the modern age
NBA draft is tonight and every there was a year not to have a pick this is the year. I keep hearing the Warriors may trade for a pick. They can't be that dumb!
