For those who served and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, you are not forgotten. Strangely enough both my grandfather (born in 1900) and my father (born in 1925) didn’t make it out of training before the respective wars ended. Dear old dad was training to be a fighter pilot and got a little seat time in a P-51 when the war ended. Funny thing is, my oldest sister was born in 1950. She broke the streak by having her daughter in 1968.
Lots of chatter out there about 4th round OT pick Carver Willis being the guy who helps solidify this swiss cheese O line by winning the left guard spot. Let’s hope so. That still leaves the revolving door that is Jake Brendel, at center but one thing at a time. Someone may fall out of a troster somewhere hopefully.
As for the hapless Giants? Yesterday is kinda what we thought the team would be. Decent hitting with middling pitching. Instead we get 1-2 game sa week where everything lines up surrounded by 4-5 that don’t.
Not sure how we get out of this other than to hope all their slow starters wake up. There’s plenty of time to get things right, but with the pitching being so scattershot with the starters AND the pen, depending on this team to consistently hit its way to victory is proving to be too much.
Hope y’all have a nice long weekend, and gland to hear Paul is on the mend. We al seem to be about the age where maladies and medical procedures are the grist of the mill.
Just read Craig Morton passed, 83 yrs old that is a long life for the era of football he played in, RIP Craig
Yep, getting old sucks at times, I am getting my right knee replaced. Did the left leg 3 years ago. Right now the knee is so painful, am limited to walking my dog around the block. Kaiser is backlogged for orthopedic surgeries 6 months. I am looking at October is the latest, hopefully some cancellation will come through
Oh, sorry to hear. I read Kaiser is trying to build new facility in SF. friend of mine bought condo in isolated retirement community in San Jose foothills but has Kaiser nearby. Something we all have to think about, access to getting care it seems inevitable we’ll need.
For all the well deserved complaints about Giants lack of offense and run scoring, pitching imo is bigger issue. Neither Ray nor Webb have been ace like, and the other SPs not named Roupp haven’t been much help. Couple that with ill advised reliance on likes of Miller and Walker to open season as guys you can trust late game and there you have recipe for disaster. Can Winn and Kilian or any of LHs hold up for 4 more months? why is Borucki still here?
they are bottom 10 for most pitching stats in NL–runs allowed, hits BBs, WHIP, ERA FIP. That shouldn’t happen at yard like Oracle and other than a Carson (whis) hard to see help on way.
