Blame me for this one. In my office at work is a guy who is a big Giants fan, as he was imported from San Francisco. In the sixth inning, I send him an email with a link to the box score, and merely said this.. “You’re losing, bitch!”. You know, the usual fan garbage. So about 45 minutes later, I get an email back from him saying “Rally time, bitch!” At that point, the Giants had tied the score at 4. Then in a real Karma moment, the Giants put up single runs in the 8th and 9th to take the game 6-4. So blame me, my mouthing off cost us the game! ;)
Scott Feldman started the game for us, and threw quite well. Three innings, no runs and just one hit. Walked two, but it didn’t hurt him. Brendan Donnelly followed, and didn’t fare nearly as well, as he went just one inning, and surrendered two. Everyone else after that gave up a single run. Only Feldman escaped unscathed. On the ledger is Luis Mendoza, Casey Daigle, Elizardo Ramirez, & Bryan Corey. Daigle & the Lizard’s runs were unearned, though.
It was another one of those games where no one dominated offensively. Nine different Rangers had one hit each. Six were singles, and there was one double (Andruw Jones), one triple (Mike Young), & a home run (David Murphy).
