The rains came on the 4th of July preventing the Giants from losing four straight to the Reds. Thanks to a two run homer by Abreau the Giants forced Cincinnati to go eleven inning to win the third game of the series which saw sixteen Giants strike outs.
History Repeats: Last year we wrote our concerns about Blanco when he went 0 for two months during the summer. He's doing the same thing this year. We also wrote at the beginning of this year that when Sandoval goes on the DL you not only lose him for those fifteen days but for the weeks following. The ads are out for Giant fans to get ten new email addresses so they can jam the ballot box voting for the Panda to be the All Star third baseman for the National League. Voting like this and not having a rule that starters must play nine innings makes a mockery of game We chronicled last year how the votes should be counted similar to electoral votes so that one city cannot take control of the game. The good news is that the Giants will have their best pitchers going against the surging Dodgers.. .
Baseball Fan: Speaking of the Dodgers one of my daughters friends is an avid Los Angeles fan. She traveled back to New York to see the Dodgers play in Yankee Stadium. The game was rained out and a friend had given her very good seats for a game in Philadelphia the next day. No problem. She attended the make up game the next day at Yankee Stadium and then drove to Philadelphia and got to the game in the sixth inning. Fortunately for her the game went 12 innings that made the trip more worthwhile before driving on to DC to see that Nationals play. Now that's a fan! She would have a ball in Arizona during spring training Incidentally she thought Yankee Stadium was fantastic.
