In the NL West: Arizona-Texas and San Diego-Seattle tonight. Dodgers off. Giants 4 back.
Comments: Damn, damn, damn. Why in the hell can't the Giants just go ahead and destroy these horrible teams? No idea. But there might be a clue in Barry Zito's performance, three walks in the third and then a grand slam. Christ. Tampa Bay is a wonderful team with a $40 million total payroll; Giants have two pitchers who make that (Lincecum and Zito) together and add up to pretty automatic losses. Fan-friggin-tastic. I guess a minor offensive highlight in Belt hitting home runs in three games in a row, his first three of the season.
Baseball quote of the day: "Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it." (Bill Terry)
Next game: Giants at Mariners, 7:10 p.m. PDT Friday, June 15 at Safeco Field. Vogelsong, RHP (5-2, 2.26) vs. Vargas, LHP (7-5, 3.90). TV: Suckwad low-def channels all around.
