SFGiants Game 4

My truck is at the auto repair shop, so I'm working from home today. I generally get a lot of work done while I'm at home but it is a bonus to be able to watch the game on my TV while doing conference calls and sending e-mails. 

Game 4 Summary
- In the pre-game, Bill Laskey, Vida Blue, and Greg Papa were talking about which player has the most swag. It was pretty hilarious. It's like when older people talk about selfies or twerking. Please stop. Stop please.
- Brandon Belt his his 3rd home run in four games. Happy for him. People give him so much shit, so I hope he can stay hot at the plate.
- Paul fucking Goldshit. Why don't they just intentionally walk that guy? Every time. Especially if he's facing Lincecum. How unreal is it that he has SIX home runs in TWENTY ONE at bats? As our favorite commentators say, that is pure OWNAGE. Goldschmidt is 11-26 against Timmy with 13 RBIs. That needs to stop. It's painful just thinking about it. 
- Lincecum needs to shave that monstrosity from his face. It was cute in the "aww, baby face is trying to grow a manly mustache" way for a little bit, but it's got to go. It's worse than Barry Zito's weird porn stache from a couple seasons ago. 

Speaking of, I miss Zito...#RallyZito forever <3

- If I played the "take a drink every time Kruk & Kuip say 'shadows'", I would have been drunk by the 3rd inning.
- In the bottom of the 3rd, Timmy didn't get Goldshit out, but in trying to stretch a single into a double, Goldschmidt was out by a mile. That counts for something, right?
- At the top of the 4th with Pablo Sandoval on 2nd, Hunter Pence finally got his first hit of the season. Hooray! I like to think that's the face he wanted to make when it happened, but he's too cool to celebrate that hard over a single.

- Side note: One of the other reasons why I love baseball so much is because you can have it on in the background while multi-tasking, or in my case concentrating pretty hard on work, and it's like a nice throw blanket comforting you even if you're not paying attention 100%. 
- I was not pleased when Mark Trumbo hit a 2-run home run off of Timmy in the bottom of the 6th. Secretly, my first thought was "yay, fantasy points" and then I was pissed. This is why fantasy sports suck sometimes. You feel bipolar about things like that because it's good for fantasy, but bad for life. 100% of the time, the Giants are far more important that fantasy baseball. At least for me.
- Nice to see Brandon Hicks come in the game as a pinch hitter, and then hit a home run at the top of the 7th! Proud of him.
- I'm sometimes mean to Hacktor, err Hector Sanchez, but that *almost* home run in the top of the 8th was pretty awesome. It was also fun to see Pence running with reckless abandon. I love him so much. Michael Morse came through with a two out RBI single to tie the game after Buster Posey came in as a pinch hitter and was intentionally walked. Then our Angel with the heavenly hair hit a 3-run home run. It was Pagan's first home run of the season. FIVE RUNS in the 8th. It's still early, but I like what I'm seeing from our offense. And their hair.

So excited they won this series, great way to start the season! Pagan is sexy. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Work phone calls, phone calls from the auto repair shop, and all kinds of emails stressed me out. Signing off to meet up with friends for a Captain America 1 and 2 double feature.

Go Giants!!!
