(platoon no name dude who came of from Triple-A yesterday playing for... lets say the worthless Astros) hits 3 run homerun off Tim Linsecum in bottom of the 8th. Score - Astros 3 Giants 0. Astros 1-1 Giants 0-29 RISP. (NEWS FLASH... this just in... Baseball Gods tell Brain Sabean directly that 'lightning will not strike twice in the same spot for the Giant's, you must acquire better, younger players before the trade deadline if you have hopes to make the playoffs... do not sell the farm for the crusty beatdown guys that can no longer see an 60mph fastball." Sabean response... "you guys got some weed?")

You forgot... [After a leadoff the game double by Aaron Rowand against a lefty] Emmanuel Burriss bunts, Aaron Roward to third [killing any chance of a big inning with one pitch, one free out].
