Interested to see what the lineup loos like tonight. Please no Weeks batting leadoff.

 

At least the Giants best bat is out.

The only way Weeks won't be hitting leadoff is if Braun is out, in which case he'll hit 3rd. That situation isn't any better. Actually, with Braun out, it's far worse.

[dlk9s]

Lincecum, Bumgarner, and Cain...should be fun.

[dlk9s]

By the way, is it just me, or does it seem like the Giants play every game at home? No matter what day it is, if I see a Giants highlight on TV or catch a few minutes of a game live, it's always in SF.

They typically play 96 games at home rather than the typical 81, so it's understandable why you feel that way.

 

Edit: But yeah, it kind of does feel that way now that I think about it. Weird.

I know, but a guy can hope. I would like to see him in the two hole with Aoki leading off, but I know that won't happen. It will be be the same old crap, and more than likely the same old results. Hope I am wrong.

[AZBrewCrew]

Braun is out for tonight per McCalvy

[AZBrewCrew]

Gomez,Weeks,Hart,Ramirez,Gonzalez,Lucroy,Ishikawa,Morgan, Greinke

[dlk9s]

Holy...

[dlk9s]

Chances Gomez attempts a leadoff bunt: 90%.

[SeriesFinale]

I'll be out there this evening in my Cerveceros shirt and ball-and-glove cap, keeping blue against the sea of Orange Friday.

 

Would've rather seen Aoki out there in Left than Morgan if Braun couldn't go but I guess Morgan's done well in limited at-bats against Timmy.

 

Aoki sitting also makes me think that Braun might be out for PH duty too.

[AZBrewCrew]

I was really hoping to see Aoki get the start tonight. It is an interesting lineup to say the least

[SeriesFinale]

Definitely fills me with a vibe

Not exactly a lineup that brings back memories of the 27 Yankees................

It does when you consider all of those Yankees are dead.

[SeriesFinale]

The good news is the Giants aren't exactly throwing out a potent attack this evening either

Well, got your wish, but unfortunately Roenicke still screwed it up. Gomez leading off? Should be Aoki against Lincecum. And of course Morgan is also in there over Aoki. Makes no sense. I don't mind the rest as much though. Rickie in the 2 hole is good. Should've been this...

 

LF Aoki

2B Weeks

RF Hart

3B Ramirez

C Lucroy

SS Gonzalez

1B Ishikawa

CF Gomez

P Greinke

[wibadgers23]

Why in the world is Aoki not in there tonight?

[rluzinski]

The worst hitter against righties in the lineup and he's leading off. I can't figure out why Gomez is even starting, much less leading off.

[cnycerveceros]

Unrelated, but JJ Hardy just made a great double play against the Red Sox. The highlight is worth looking for. I'd link it if I had any idea how to do that.

[TURBO]

RR is a tool, there is no other explanation.

 

I want to like the guy, and every once in a GREAT while, I do, but then the day changes and I can't stand him again.

 

I just can't stomach another season with this idiot running the show.

 

Sometimes, being a Brewers fan is hard darn work...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

They mentioned they like Gomez out in that big CF...ok I get that, but why not bat him 8th?

[pebadger]

I'm torn between seeing this lineup in action and hoping the Preds score a last-minute goal to send the hockey game to OT.

[Schlitz001]

This lineup is so bad that it's going to score 8 runs.
