Giants hitters rake Bucs while Sanchez dazzles…

Jonathan Sanchez threw 11 K’s and pitched a shutty today in a Giants 6-0 victory today against the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you’ve watched Sanchez pitch his last few starts you know that like last year, he’s either on it or off it. Today he was on it – capped by striking out the side in the 4th by asking Milledge, Jones and Doumit to politely take their seats. Despite some bases loaded trouble in the top of the 6th, Sanchez was nothing short of an inhospitable filth pig today. What a rude man.

On the other side of the house, I had to stick my foot in my mouth after Eli “Silverfox” Whiteside hit a three run homer in the bottom of the 2nd, driving in Bowker and Uribe after their singles. I still think Posey needs to get up here but I guess I’ll save that post for one more day.

And, how about your boy Aubrey “Ring of Fire” Huff? After a deep ass, triple’s alley triple last night which would have been a HR in any other park, he does the same shit today but with different results. I don’t remember the count but with no outs he launches one toward the 421 mark and the carom sends it way past McCutchen into the inner part of the outfield. Bananas. Flannery waves dude home and we’ve got our 4th in the parker of all time at AT&T. I’m sure Huff was thinking “WTF” when he finally caught his breath. Actually, you can tell he thought it was funny but later in the game, when he launched almost as far but a little more to the right and it bounced off the top rail, you could tell that he was sort of annoyed. After all, hitters get paper for launching the long ball and it’s long been a sticking point when we try to get real hitters to come play for us. Maybe this is grounds for a second post. Anyway, you’re here Huff so suck it up!

Finally, nice to Rowand finally go yard today and get something done with a 2R HR in the 5th. Love him or hate him you gotta respect the effort which half of this game called life.

Tbox and I will be coming at you from Chavez Ravine for Saturday’s day game against the Dodgers followed by Monday’s game from Petco Park against the Friars. We’re 7-2 — keep ‘em rolling boys.
