5 on the 5

The wife has some Raconteurs on this morning so we’ll go that direction, with some more random thoughts from last night’s game:

  • Verlander and Lincecum both work very very fast.  If their pitch count was lower, we might have been out of there in an hour and a half
  • Lincecum’s scoreboard picture looks like a 12 year old school girl.  You’d think they’d photoshop a mustache on or something.  Or pull in R Lee Ermey for the picture to help out… “You got a war face! AHHHHHHHHHHH! That’s a war face, let me see your war face!”
  • Verlander seemed to be throwing 70% strikes.  He was close to the plate all day
  • In between innings where Pudge was still putting his gear on, Raburn and Inge split duty warming up the pitcher.
  • ‘Specialty’ beers ran $8.75.  I don’t know why they don’t just make it $10 so the lines go faster.
  • Cold day last night (welcome to san francisco)… Scott scored our $40 tickets for $20 each on craigslist.  Thirty rows right behind Detroit’s dugout.
  • Cabrera seems to joke around a lot;  it looks like he has fun out there.  He also crushed a long single off of the park’s high right field wall.
  • Great at-bats in the ninth.  The team didn’t quit and were patient as Brian Wilson had some control issues.
  • Hollimon doesn’t look comfortable at short, with two bad throws (one for an error) to second.
