slop by the bay

Eighteen runs, 25 hits, and six errors. No doubt Giants' fans will take the 11-7 win, but it was the kind of baseball I bail on. And I did. Cliff Lee gave up seven of the Giant runs and went 4.2 innings; Tim Lincecum gave up four runs and went 5.2. Neither starter impressed. We've seen Lee like this before, just not in the post-season. When Lee is bad, he's very bad. And very quickly bad. Last night it happened in the 5th. As for the play in the field, a lot of slop on both sides. Torture? That's watching Vlad Guerrero play right field. But I guess Ron Washington doesn't have a choice. Maybe we'll have some good baseball tonight.
