It ain't your fault, Dirty. Well, unless we're talking about why the Giants lost today.
For the first three innings, the Giants offense did everything right. For the first seven innings, the Giants defense did everything right. It should have been a 3-1 victory behind Jonathan Sanchez's best start this year by miles and miles. Instead, Bochy leaves him in too long (sound familiar?), and Sanchez wings a sac bunt into right field and there you go.
The good news is that the Giants don't have to come back to the pee-pee soaked heck-hole that is Coors Field until September. The bad news is that Bruce Bochy doesn't know when to go to his bullpen, or who to bring in when he does. When he finally yanked Sanchez in a 3-3 tie in the eighth, he brings in Javier Lopez -- who is awesome and I love the guy -- to face two right-handers before the lefty, Carlos Gonzalez. (Right-handers are hitting .360 against Lopez.) Gonzalez got just the third left-handed hit against Lopez this season but it shouldn't have gotten that far.
Honestly, it's not Bochy's fault Sanchez can't buckle down and handle his problems. But it's a tough pill to swallow the day after the Lincecum fiasco.
Whatever man, it's not the end of the season. But...man. Just so disgusted with these dudes right now.
it is truly remarkable how quickly you can go from being thrilled and amazed by your world series-winning home nine to being stunned at how horrible they all are
