Mets 4, Giants 2

Posted in SF Chronicle | By BEN WALKER, AP Baseball Writer

Once Orlando Hernandez got past an early hiccup, he was practically perfect. Hernandez gave up two quick hits and little else over seven impressive innings, and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 Thursday night for their fifth win in…

Benitez to the Marlins

Posted in Giants Cove | Nick Cannata-Bowman

Reported from SFGate, Armando Benitez has been dealt to the Florida Marlins, though for who, hasn’t been disclosed yet. Cross your fingers, and vainly hope for Miguel Cabrera. Who wants to bet we got Todd Linden back?
More news later on as it comes.
UPDATE: The Giants get reliever Randy Messenger, who’s line looks […]

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Posted in Bay City Ball | Chris

Some of the doom and gloom has washed away after I watched Zito throw 7 shutout innings against the Metropolians last night. Zito will surely never live up to his giganto contract but he threw well when the team needed him too and has looked solid over his past two starts. His effort against the […]

Benitez traded to the Marlins

Armando Benitez’s days as a Giant are over. The Giants have traded Bernitez to the Florida Marlins for right-hander Randy Messenger. The deal was announced after the Giants’ 4-2 loss to the Mets Thursday Night. Benitez will return to the team…

You could argue from now until the next ice age whether Barry Zito was worth $126 million, but you cannot dispute that he was worth his weight in diamonds to the woebegone Giants on Wednesday night. One night after a loss that sucked the oxygen from…

DH might trump Youkilis’ year

Posted in SF Chronicle | Ray Ratto

Kevin Youkilis is having the year of his, or most other players’, lives, which normally would be sufficient information to vote him into the All-Star Game. But that’s not how this is going to unfold for him, because he is an abject failure at the one thing…

Pitchers MANAGER’S BEST CHOICES SP Dan Haren, A’s Nobody mentions Harden much these days. SP John Lackey, Angels In a close race with teammate Kelvim Escobar. SP Mark Buehrle, White Sox Unless you somehow have the stomach for A.J….

The Armando Benitez situation has become close to untenable. Before Wednesday night’s game, manager Bruce Bochy said Benitez was not available because of swelling in his right knee. Had Bochy stood in Union Square and made that announcement, the cheers would…

Doing it the right way

Posted in Giants Cove | Nick Cannata-Bowman

Unfortuneatley, I was unable to watch tonights game, but from what I’ve seen in recaps and boxscores, it sounds like a well-played, clean game. Good pitching out of Barry Zito (7 IP, 0 R, 7 K, 1 BB), and Brad Hennessey closed out the game with a perfect ninth inning. The feeling of […]

Fessing up

Quote from Benitez after last night’s disaster:
“I lost the game … I didn’t do my job.”
Too little too late big fella. You haven’t been doing your job for three years.
