A sad start for the Giants, going down 2-1 to the Dodgers. Kershaw looked like a man.
Thank goodness baseball is here
How are you guys going to overcome Tejada's re ation? Panda looks alot better now that he lost 40 lbs.A sad start for the Giants, going down 2-1 to the Dodgers. Kershaw looked like a man.

I think the Rockies are going to take the division, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants claim it.
Yeah, I'm worried about Tejada. Just hope the guy's bat doesn't completely disappear and he'll at least earn his salary, which isn't much.
Sucked to see Uribe in dodger blue
On a positive note, the young rook hit a big fly. Look for big things from double B
On a throw things at the television note, more errors doomed the G's. That better get cleaned up
Diamondbacks are going to suck... that is all.
Cain was pimp yesterday. Hopefully the giants can get back to even tonight
are they making any strides toward getting better or is it full-on rebuild mode?
They are going to attempt to tread water, but tire and drown.
They spent a good bit of money on mediocre veteran help, continued the practice of selling low on quality talent in trades and just don't have the reserves to acquire a stud prospect or develop one from within.
Giants defense sucks. . It was embarrassing watching huff bumble around in right.
dbacks took 2 out of three at home against reds
are they toying with the dbacks fans ....
they won 13-2 and today 10-8
Lince = class...donates $25K to the family of Brian Stow the paramedic that was viciously attacked by supposed Dodger fans outside of Chavez Ravine on opening day.
whoa! careful throwing around the blank=class statement, lol.
I agree, however
The Dodgers organization has been classy about it too. Just glad to see people coming together to help what appears to be a genuinely good family
Giants are rollin
duckz, post!
crofl
Buster Posey has had one of the toughest stretches for a catcher in recent memory. Hope the dude is okay
ing Marlins, lol. It was a clean play at the plate, but damn...
Former and current Giants doing great things for Stow and his family
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6590118Donations, contributions and other efforts have poured in after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten in a Dodger Stadium parking lot on Opening Day.
But one quiet gesture has especially touched Stow's family, something that will affect his two children years down the line.
Former Giants star and embattled figure Barry Bonds has volunteered to pay for the college education of 12-year-old Tyler and 8-year-old Tabitha.
"It was extraordinary of Barry Bonds, I thought," Stow family attorney Thomas Girardi told NBC Bay Area KNTV. "He didn't say anything about it to the press. This was just a gift he gave the family because he knew that it was going to be pretty important to the kids."
According to KNTV, Bonds spent an hour with Stow on April 22, when the 42-year-old paramedic was still at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center. Stow was moved May 16 to San Francisco General Hospital, which is closer to his family and where he remains in critical but stable condition under heavy sedation to prevent seizures caused by the traumatic brain injury.
Bonds also left a signed baseball bat for Stow's children, according to KNTV.
Stow's family filed a civil suit against the Dodgers in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday, seeking unspecified damages to cover Stow's future medical care and as compensation for the economic damages to Stow and his children.
The Stow family issued a statement on their website late Wednesday clarifying their "position in regards to recent developments." Their lawyer, Girardi, told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Tuesday they wanted to return money that has been donated to the Bryan Stow fund if they prevailed in the suit versus the Dodgers, but would accept Bonds' gift because it "means so much to them."
In the statement, they wanted to make clear that "there is no contribution that is greater than the other," and that their acceptance of Bonds' donation "was in no way an attempt to diminish other donations or contributions."
Moreover, the Stow family outlined in more detail what they meant when saying they wanted to return money that has been donated to the Bryan Stow fund.
"It has been reported that our family would like to return all donations received in the event of a favorable judgment for Bryan and his children," the statement reads. "We wanted to suggest this as a simple token of appreciation and thought that should such a favorable result occur, that your hard-earned dollars would possibly be able to help other similarly situated families who face similar tragic cir stances. Donations not returned could then be donated to other charities to give support to those families in need. We know that you gave from your hearts and we will forever be thankful."
Other members of the Giants have visited Stow as well, including pitcher Jeremy Affeldt, and Tim Lince has given $25,000 to the Bryan Stow fund.
Los Angeles police arrested Giovanni Ramirez, 31, on Sunday but charges have not yet been filed against him. They have not identified a second attacker or a woman suspected of driving the pair from the scene. Los Angeles police chief Charlie Beck called Ramirez the main aggressor.
Ramirez was being detained on a parole hold, with bail set at $1 million. Detectives still had not presented their case to the district attorney's office. Detective Pjai Morris said additional investigative work was being carried out, but he was confident the case would go forward.
Bonds, a seven-time MVP, was convicted April 13 of one count of obstruction of justice for giving an evasive answer in 2003 to a grand jury investigating the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs.
The jury deadlocked on three counts charging Bonds with making false statements when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and when he said only his doctors injected him. Prosecutors have not said whether they will retry Bonds on those counts.
Yes, I know Barry Bonds head should have it's own zipcode, but the above is why a vast majority of Giants fans still love him, including myself.
He has always done a lot of good in the community and been very loyal to the City of SF. Props to him and the rest of the Giants for going the extra mile to help Mr. Stow's family
also, not that anyone else reads this thread, but do you think the Giants should move Posey to 1B? A lot of people in SF land think so
Me? I'm not so sure. He handles the staff so well, and catchers are inevitably going to have stretches like this. I kinda still want him behind the plate
Giants have a guy in the minors, a catcher, who has a huge bat but is still probably a year or two away from the bigs. I'd probably be willing to revisit this issue when/if this guy, Hector Sanchez (http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/n...vkey=news_milb / http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/m...pbp&pid=516949), can make it to the majors. His defense and handling of pitchers is where he must make huge strides if he has any hopes of making it to the show
Great move by Bonds...
Posey has a broken ankle reports say...
OMFG...
He's out for the rest of the year and into 12'.........
Yup, it was a clean play by Scott Cousins. I'm happy the Fish won (after that turd they laid in the 9th), but I'm sorry about Posey. He's one of my fav players to watch and it sucks to see him go down.
A lot of Giants fans are calling the play dirty, but they're just butthurt because he's injured so bad
posey IQ is pretty stupid
do not have ball MOVE
I don't think he knew whether he had the ball or not
