Get used to this crap until 2008

Tonight had nothing to do with starters, middle-relief, offense, or defense: Benitez, basically a 9th inning Hawkins (see previous post), gives up game-tying HR to Oscar Robles (1 HR, 275 ABs at start of game) and blows another one in LA; unfortunately, SF stuck with his 93 MPH fastball and propensity to put runners on base until Spring Training 2008; Accardo, trying to clean up Benitez's mess in 9th, tosses inning-ending DP ball into CF, prolonging inning; why Giants deserved to lose 2 of 3: Jose "K" Cruz Jr. slams 3 HRs in 2 games.

9-8 loss at LA   |    63-75
