Forgive me for the length of this post, I caught this article from Henry's fb account plus I'm posting this from my mobile.







I blame Dave Roberts. I blame Dave Roberts. I blame Dave Roberts. I blame Dave Roberts. I blame Dave Roberts.

First off I would like to thank delorean for putting this all together, and it was a pleasure to meet Giants Fan in Singapore, delorean, Walrus Man, and the Baroness. It was an entertaining night of great Single-A baseball, McCoven memes being blurted out (constantly) and shaking our fist in the air from checking in to the game in Chavez Latrine.

It was chilly night at Muni, but a lot of heat was thrown by Tim Alderson. Buster Posey decided to make it a show and end up a triple short of a cycle.

It was exciting for me to see AnVil live, and in person. I keep forgetting he is 18. But my goodness, his bat speed is fantastically quick. He made some great defensive plays as well (!?!).

Here are some pics I took. Sorry, as the night was coming in, the zoom on my point and shoot started acting up.

AnVil approves.





Bored Noonan is bored




You might not be able to see it, but We noticed MadBum is a big fan of Blue Raspberry DumDum Lollipops.

GO!

It's a down time for Giants fans and I thought it would be appropriate to have a rally Giants thread. But, the team is just pissing me off as a whole (besides Dwight & Fred), so they don't deserve the honor.

So this thread is dedicated to Matt Cain, the lord of all that sucks in the world of baseball. Matt Cain will probably fail and will end up the suckiest of the entire rotation.*
