Hey everybody, I'm Turd Ferguson, and I'll be contributing posts from time to time as well. There's not much to tell about me. I like giant hats, preferably sombreros, and hey, it's a funny name. Anyway, without further ado, here is the game recap...
"Hey! Panda Bear! We don't take kindly to yer type 'round 'ere!" In case you didn't notice, the picture above is Pablo Sandoval, AKA "Panda Bear". That line pretty much sums up how I felt as I watched him go 3 for 4 with 2 runs and a walk. Not a bad stat-line to say the least, but still not as good as catcher Bengie Molina, who went 4 for 4 with 4 RBIs, 2 runs, and a walk. Those two guys shouldered much of the Giants offense, with everybody else chipping in accordingly.
That is a stark contrast to the Pirates lineup, where the offensive output came from Aki and Andy, with Cutch, Cedano, and Raynor being the only other Pirates to get a hit. Looking at the boxscore, it is fairly easy to see why the Bucs dropped this game, but the boxscore never gives the whole story.
I admittedly did not catch much of the game, but I saw some highlights of the game, and it could have ended better than it did. The Pirates had a chance in the 7th until it was revealed that a better part of the lineup cannot hit a slider over the middle part of the plate to save their lives. But hey, they fought hard and tried their best, and in the end, what more could we ask for as fans? After all, it's just a game and you play the game to have fun, just don't tell Herm Edwards that.
While it's certainly disappointing to see the Bucs drop another game, take solace in the fact that at least it wasn't as bad as yesterday. They'll get a win tomorrow... well... today now, so don't stop believin' just yet,
That'll do it for this game recap. It's 4:30 in the morning, I'm exhausted, the Pirates lost, and I have to go to class at some point tomorrow. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Other than that, an enjoyable first post overall. Enjoy the game later today.
