Jeff Fassero VS Miguel Batista
(1-0 6.23 ERA) (1-0 2.84 ERA)

Batista is 4-6 with a 3.83 ERA over 21 lifetime starts vs. the Giants.

I wonder how Alou will go about a lineup today. Bonds might need to move to third in the order to stir things up.

[SF Kid]

Yes I wonder. I wish Alou would stop messing with the lineup and resting guys in the first month of the season.

Also, what promoted bringing Hennessey upo rom Fresno?

[love_that_reefer]

Lowry on the DL and Accardo going down to Fresno.

[SF Kid]

Thanks.

Well Hen did a great job last night. Glad to see that.

[SF Kid]

Gaints jump on top 4-0.

Fassaro in a grove.

7-0 Giants now on a bases-clearing triple by Randolph Winn.

7-0 Giants now on a bases-clearing triple by Randolph Winn.

I expected that.

Randy is on fire. Batting .349! Wonderful.

[SF Kid]

Omar isn't doing too badly himself... >>>> .385

[DirtyKash]

Jeez. Giants strand two in the top of the 4th, despite two wild pitches from Batista. Pedro Feliz struck out with 1 out, only needed a sac fly and he couldn't do it.

[DirtyKash]

9-7 Arizona now on a two-run single from Chad Tracy followed immediately by a three-run HR from Luis Gooooone!-zalez.

[DirtyKash]

Wow ... Mark Sweeney with a two-run HR to tie the game at 9-9. Top 8th inning.

[DirtyKash]

Bonds intentionally walked. That's his second today. And he's immediately pinch-run for.

[love_that_reefer]

Giants bullpen blows up and its the usual suspects this year, Walker and Taschner.

[love_that_reefer]

Kline gets the job done in the 8th. Still tied 9-9 with Durham, Feliz and Matheny due up.

[love_that_reefer]

Durham walks and the leadoff man is aboard. Too bad Feliz is up.
