20 RUNS. OUCH!!!!!
It was not pretty!!!!! Two games and 20 runs! It was not pretty. The Giants and their pitchers spent the last two games, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon watching a multitude of Cincinnati Reds circle the bases. Reds piled up the runs on Saturday evening, before the Orange and Black scored four runs in the bottom of the 9th to make it close and respectable. And no, Bengie Molina was not involved, as he sat out the game with 'general soreness' in his legs. Could have used him!! Final score, 10-9!...Sunday and another 10 runs, this time courtesy of not only Barry Zito'sstring of bad luck, but of sloppy play all around. A couple of pop ups that fell untouched, the most experienced player not taking charge when he should have and some overaggressive play by one of the youngsters let in 6 runs before the third out was recorded. Ouch. Two Brandon Phillips shots did not help either. He had three over the weekend! Final score: 9-2. Giants are now 11-15. Colorado in for three games starting Monday evening...Zito, again. No one except Barry Zito knows what is wrong with him. But: He is not going to Triple A Fresno, he is not going to the bullpen, he just may have to work through his problems. Many a pitcher and position player have done that before...
