Sorry folks...I just had too much to do today. I thought I would be able to go late to the workout for at least an hour or so, but it didn't work out. I hate it when life gets in the way of baseball.
I'll be back on it tomorrow.

About Me
- Giantfan9
- I have been a Giants fan for as long as I can remember. I have had Giants Regular Season Tickets for 25 years (since 1985) and Spring Training Season Tickets since the "new" Scottsdale Stadium opened in 1992. I have gone to Spring Training every year, except the strike year, since 1987. I go to A LOT of Giants games. I also go to Arizona for the Arizona Fall League every October/November. I figure I attended about 125-130 games in calendar year 2008......almost all of them involving Giants players. Baseball is a great game.....Giants' baseball is the best part of a great game!

I knew it was too good to be true. GF9 has a life. Drats.
All kidding aside, your posts make me happy. Do what you need to do, and let yourself be a little smug that you put a smile on lots of peoples' faces.
Damn Dr B. I missed the 12 year old throwing BP? Of all days to miss.
What else could you possibly have to do besides make us losers, sitting with baited breath at our computers, happy? Get back to work, Spring Training has just started. We'll let you know when you get a day off.
Your pictures and comments are what I look forward to in the evening this time of year. You make Giant's fans very happy. God Bless ya !! But don't take too many days off, or I'll get the DT's.
That sucks.
Oh well, keep up the good work anyway!
Tell whoever told you to "get a life" to mind there own business. Man...This is as bad as an off day during the season. Looking forward to tomorrow.
And I was just going to ask if Lincecum had pitched in BP. Will you please find out how he did?
The media people said that everyone was impressed with Lincecum.....except maybe Bonds who said his fastball is pretty straight.
It's only the 3rd day of live BP.....can't tell a lot from an 80% effort. The real test will come when the games start. I hear the Giants will have him pitch in a intra-squad game first (next Tues or Weds) and then in a "B" game or two before he gets in a Spring Training game. They are handling the youngster with kid gloves........and rightfully so.
Thanks for all of the hard work put into publishing the photos and the detail to go along with them. Any chance you can get some shots of the younger guys (non-roster invites) as they do their thing at Big League Camp before they are sent over to minor league camp?
apparently, you missed the chance to take pictures of the woman in the stands gettind drilled with a wild throw and breaking her nose.
