Three words - After sitting through that absolutely horrendous Padres at Giants game tonight, I have only three words - SABEAN, DO SOMETHING! We were shut out for goodness sake. Ok, so my faith in Aardsma didn't pan out - yet. He was sent down to AAA Fresno today. The optimist in me says "...well, atleast, he wasn't sent down to AA..." I'm still faithful as ever to Schmidttie. My confidence in his comeback is still not shaken. But, I am eager to see Nen again. And I know everyone's gettin on J.T. Snow's case but I have to admit I thoroughly enjoy watching his game, from his swing to his defensive prowess - he has such great form. It's always nice to see Jay Witasick again - no longer a giant but I'll always appreciate his fastball. And I've had good vibes about Jake Peavey and still do. ok, onto some Good News...

Community Gatepath All Stars - "Revenge is a dish best served cold"... and SWEET! Yes, it was sweet revenge as the All Stars had a rematch with our Game 1 opponents, the Etrade SKS Sluggers! Our inaugural game was pretty painful, having been our only loss, thus far. But, Tuesday night, we got right into it, with our bats swinging and showin some GLOVE. They had some power-hitters on their team (including two power lefties and a Barry Bondsian rightie!), but we had bigger gloves, keeping them down to three runs, and we were just hitting to all the right places.

We didn't have our regular lineup, but thanks to our well-connected players, our offense didn't suffer one bit (a HUGE thanks to Pam & Teresa for bringing in some big guns!). Our pitcher, Alex Lin, took home the win again - also, going 3-for-4 with an absolutely mammoth Double in our most offensive 2nd inning.

Some other highlights:

E.Y. , a guest player, almost hit an airplane coming into SFO, when he hit a TRIPLE in the top of the 5th inning;
M.H., and J.C., other guest players, had awesome at-bats, going 4-for-4, bringing in 3 runs a piece;

Now back to the regular lineup... It was a crazy RBI-fest for T.H., N.S. and A.L.! (Teresa also used her smart baserunning skills to bring in our first run in the 1st inning; and, she practically owned the 3rd baseline - by the last inning, Etrade's Shortstop was even backing up the 3rd basemen to prepare for Teresa's power line drives!), Our very own C.C., played 2B last night and sustained a minor injury when a well-hit ball took a mad hop right into her ankle - we don't expect any less of her, though (no pressure, Cathy). And J.R.managed to score a run for every time he got on base.

Thanks, again, to our audience - we always appreciate you! And, a HUGE round of applause to Tuesday night's winning lineup:

J.R.
T.H.
A.L.
N.S.
E.Y.
O.M.
M.H.
P.L.
J.C.
C.C.

Final Score: 18-3, CG All Stars in the WIN column! Woohoo!
