You're finished, pork-o-nazi!
Pablo Sandoval fouled one off home plate umpire Adrian Johnson's mask, and he's been forced to leave the game. Apparently Angel Hernandez is donning the gear so that he can poo poo up his second Giants-A's game in 3 days.

There's some other games going now and more to be played later.

It was cruel to hear Ken Korach building me up with false hope that maybe Angel Hernandez -- as crew chief -- was motioning/instructing the 2nd Base Umpire to go in and get the gear on.

But no, Hernandez is improbably, maddeningly, donning The Tools Of Arrogance and has set up behind the plate for the second time in the same series.

Baseball is a cruel game.

Not only that, Ryan Howard hit a double and a home run off of two different left handed pitchers.

It's an oversimplification to say Angel Pagan is keystone to the offense (and the defense!) and they suck without him. (This essentially happened last year, too).

But basically Angel Pagan is the keystone to the offense and the defense and they suck without him. (And this essentially happened last year, too).

Also the bullpen finally gave up the ghost this time/this year (Romo's infamous no-dot slider has been hanging non-stop for about a month now), Staking the Even Year Bullshit Magic Fairy and stuffing a clove of garlic in its mouth for good measure.

[Scoring was also homer-dependent and they've all stopped hitting home runs now instead of going through waves/shifts where Posey was hot, Sandoval was hot, Morse was hot, etc.]

And as they all press/try too hard to fix it (most obvious with Pence, who always looks like he's pressing anyway even when he isn't) it of course gets worse.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Isn't Colby one of the guys that *hasn't* gotten hurt? He just sucks but would be in the rotation either way?

All the injuries have piled up but Rios and Adrus clanking easy catches has nothing to do with that.

If there was a Bizarro Rangers team where everyone wasn't dead it's really unlikely Colby would be in the rotation right now. I'd expect it to be Darvish/Holland/Perez/Harrison/Tepesch at this point in Bizarro 2014 rather than Darvish/Tepesch/Lewis/Oh Please God/Make It Stop
