sfgiantsflgators Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 July 31, 2008 Six-Run Eighth Propels Giants to Series Victory Former ace Schmidt takes the loss for Bums With a six-run fifth inning that knocked former Giants ace Jason Schmidt out of the contest, the San Francisco Giants took the rubber match of a three-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-8, to end the month of July on a high note. Los Angeles took a 3-0 lead after four innings before the Giants took over in the decisive fifth. Schmidt left after surrendering a two-RBI single to Kevin Frandsen, picking up his fourth loss after allowing six runs on six hits in four and two-thirds innings. The Giants were up 8-4 after six innings before the Dodgers tried to mount a comeback, starting with a two-run seventh that put the score at 8-6. San Francisco got an insurance run that they would desperately need in the eighth on an RBI ground- out from Eddy Martinez-Esteve, his first career RBI. Brian Wilson surrendered two runs on three hits in the ninth, but walked off the field with his 26th save of the season. Manny Delcarmen surrendered just one hit and struck out two over one and two- thirds innings in his second appearance since his trade to San Francisco.

rambo Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Keep it up sf, I haven't checked in for a while, but I still hold out hope that you can make the playoffs. 2 games isn't that much, you could make it up easily, even though you've been mired in a slump for the last month and a half. Glad to see Cain finally got some run support, and that Frandsen is continuing to belt the ball out of the park. Nice move moving Aurilia on, as glad as I was to see him back with SF in 07, it's time for him to move on or retire. No production = No job. Get Misch and the pitchers on a roll and we'll catch the Rockies and Astros in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey - good to see you check back in Delcarmen has been a great pickup, granted he's only appeared twice so far; but he's been fantastic and could really help solidify that eighth inning for us, something that's been shakey all season. Two games isn't too much, but we can't have many more stretches like we've had recently. There are a lot of contenders for the wild card right now, so there are a lot of teams that could take advantage of a poor week or two. Some big series against wild card contenders in August. This month could prove to be a major factor in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh...it has been moving quickly, hasn't it. I'm hoping that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of it though. My reasoning for approaching it like I have is that I plan on presenting this over the course of at least two seasons, possibly more depending on the success I have - or don't have. If I played every game, I could be presenting this dynasty into the next decade :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played all the Total Classics Madness games because it was a special presentation. Basically, I play the first game of each division series and manage the rest through the first couple months. Starting around June/July, I play all games against teams that I'm fighting for a playoff spot with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Corriea surrendered eight runs, seven earned, on 10 hits over five and one-thirds innings. Three Giants relievers then combined to allow 10 runs on nine hits in just two and one-thirds innings to blow the game open. Michael Barrett went five-for-five with three doubles and an RBI. Adrian Gonzalez went three-for-five and drove in five runs. The top five hitters for San Diego all scored at least two runs a piece in the contest.

Misch allowed just one run on four hits in seven innings of work, a solo home run by Michael Barrett in the seventh the only blemish on his night. Opposing hurler Jake Peavy was solid as well, holding the Giants scoreless until a two-run bottom of the seventh. Peavy fell to 4-5 on an injury-shortened season. Jennings went two-for-three in a rare start, giving regular catcher Bengie Molina a breather in today's afternoon contest.
