2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 8 of 91)

The Giants swung a deal for Carlos Beltran who flew to the All Star game from SFO with Bochy and the Giants All Stars where the rumor grew legs and now it's a done deal. Sure hope he pumps up the offense a bit more than Jeff Keppinger has. The nice thing is the Giants didn't really give up much to get him.

BTW Tres, Xmas came early for the Bravos last night vs. Pittsburgh. Had to be the worst call in baseball history, which got every sports radio personality begging for expanded replay in MLB. I've seen it all now for sure!!!

                                                                                                                   VIVA Gigantes!!!

I just have to brag on one Daniel Uggla, 3 more hits and a walk last night. His batting average has now exploded to .205, but his focus and determination to overcome the early season slump is ongoing. With all these people hurt on and off the DL, he has stepped it up at the plate and maintains the excellent defense. He now has an 18 or 19 game hitting streak, and set a new alltime major league record for longest hitting streak with the lowest batting average. He took that record from Julio Lugo who plays next to him at shortstop sometimes when Alex Gonzalez is out. He is much more confidant at the plate, more relaxed, not waving at outside pitches, not striking out as often because he's seeing the ball better. I don't know what he changed, don't know how to explain it except that he was in a deep funk most of first half. Keep it up Danny!

All the die hard Giant fans beware....Beltran cannot handle hard cheese up and in.....keeping both fingers crossed....one more bat is needed.....nice to see the Giants take one last night, lincecum today

I knew it was just a matter of time till he broke out at the plate. I constantly pleaded with his sister and even his Mom when she was here to talk him into coming to the Giants, but when the Bravos backed that armored car up to his door how could he say no????

                                                                                                                           Think Gr$$n,

As of the 11pm news Lee's death was termed, unrelated, but according to your article it's being investigated nonetheless. Lee was the lead witness, but not the only one. These 2 are career criminals and no doubt should receive a lengthy stretch behind bars, but you never know in LA's courts what might transcend.

                                                                                                                  Think Guilty Verdict,

I was wondering if the source was valid because it seems so unlikely that its was public knowledge that the witness had a food allergy...would the writer just say that to add more Hollywood style drama to the whole story, which seems a little sick??? Or did detectives just think it required a routine investigation to confirm the cause of death and rule out mischief. I'm feeling very detective-like myself because in reality, it totally struck a nerve with me because one of my sons is deathly allergic to peanuts. 

I think I understand that Matthew Lee was also a paramedic, which is the ultimate irony in the situation. Unless he was asthmatic, it just doesn't make sense. (your throat closes so quick, you die very fast when you are asthmatic with the peanut allergy). Even if he didn't have his epipen with him, he knew what he needed to do, he should have had enough time for a 911 response...seems still mysterious to me and has deeply disturbed me since I read that. Just a very sad time for the baseball loving circle of friends connected to Bryan Stow. This has totally tugged on my heartstrings. Thumbs up to Barry Bonds for doing something good for all the right reasons. 

On another note jdawg, I came to the realization last week that the Phillies are going nowhere unless they can get pass the Giants.   I have to admit, I love the dynamics of your team, so California... Mr. Leave It To Beaver behind home plate (I miss Buster) with pot-smoking Tim on the mound and then the character that has become the bearded one.... My daughter's boyfriend and family are huge Phillies fans and travel to other ballparks in summer; they will be in attendance for 2 of the 3 upcoming games in SanFran.  I just found out recently that my nephew who lives in SanFran was one of the folks in the water during the world series waiting to catch a ball.

I've always respected Kirk Gibson, and he has turned the DBacks around....hate to say it, but the Giants are done....look for Philly and Arizona to play for the National League pennant.....I really want to see my hated Yanks win it all, but I stiil believe Boston will take the AL.....

DOWN TO THE WIRE!!

Curby - I like your way of thinking!!!
