How about that high-powered Giant offense, huh?
Last night was a typical scenario of the games I attend between the Mets and the Giants. Can my team just score one measly run? Can I get a get a Pablo Sandoval home run? –My God, I’ll take a well-struck double. Can Barry Zito actually earn his $120+ million? No, no and no.
All I get is four lousy hits that barely trickled past the infield. Bobby Parnell pitches like Sandy Koufax, with his fastball routinely in the 94-95 MPH range. And once once, the Mets –wearing their cream-colored 1908 NY Giants throwback uniforms– stuck it to the modern day version 3-0.
The game pretty much ended by the time I sat down, with Angel Pagan leading off with a home run. However, Parnell deserves a lot of credit. He was impressive; throwing six scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking none. I fully expect Johan Santana to pick up where the Mets left off; extending the Giants’ scoreless innings streak to a full eighteen.
