Giants bowled over by Prince

If it isn't the St. Louis Cardinals irritated with the Crew untucking their uniforms, its the SF Giants angry about the bowling ball celebration in yesterday's walk off HR win for Fielder and the Crew.

"Did you see that celebration?" bench coach Ron Wotus asked. "You would like to think professionals would have a lot more respect for the game and their opponents. That was choreographed."

That was quite odd to see, and maybe more odd how Bob Uecker called the celebration. The fact is, he didn't even say much. I had no idea what had happened, and then I saw the celebration on TV. I think the Crew needs to stop coming up with celebrations and win some games. Big moment yesterday, but with no hope for the pennant the celebration does look a bit outlandish.

Can the Crew Turn it Around?

I've recently returned from my Brewers road trip/business trip from Cleveland and Detroit and had a blast out there. Unfortunately the baseball in Detroit wasn't pleasant and the carryover against Minnesota wasn't much better. The Brewers need to figure out their pitching woes sooner than later, and the Giants should be a good test for them. They have the fewest homeruns in the league at 44, the worst OBP at .310, and the worst slugging at .381. I could keep ripping off terrible offensive stats, but you get the point. We should walk over this team. If we don't, I'll be jumping on the panic button.
