Uh-oh, that's not good

Top of the 5th inning. Randy Johnson just gave up a 3 run homer to the opposing pitcher! 4-1 Milwaukee. Giants won yesterday 10-6 behind homers from Bengie, Rowand and Winn.

Received birthday cards today as well as emails from family. Thanks for all of the notes and words of encouragement from everyone.

Top of 6th: Sitting here watching the Giants game with Lauri and both of us are typing away on our laptops. Lloyd Braun's brother Ryan just doubled. Side now retired - sweet.

Bottom of 6th - Freddie Lewis leading off. Dribbled a 20-hopper into right field right after they showed a shot of another little kid wearing eye black. Bengie smokes one down the third base line and Hall makes a great stop - throws out the slowest runner in the league. Big deal - I could throw him out. Sandoval strikes out lookin on a good curve ball. Ishikawa grounds out to 'Saul' Weeks (thanks for that one, Lauri) at 2nd to retire the side.

Top of 7th - might go SJ Giants game tomorrow night since we have tix (great catch by Freddie Lew in left to retire the side). The SJ Giants have Buster Posey, Connor Gillespe and a bunch of the good young pitchers so we might see some of them.

Bottom of 7th - Rowand leading off - pounds his second double of the game to deep right field. Little Richie Aurilia pinch hitting now. Grounded out to third. Winn 2-out rbi single to right. 4-2 Brewers. Renteria batting ... count is 1-2 and Winn steals second. Ball 3 in the dirt. Walked and that will bring in a left hander to face Lewis. 2-1 count ... wild pitch ... ball four and they're loaded up for Bengie.

UPDATE: there is no joy in Mudville cause Mighty Bengie has grounded out. Nothing more happens to change the outcome so the Giants drop the second game of the season 4-2. 

PS - Nick Anderhart, a rookie pitcher with the LA Angels died in a car crash hours after throwing 6 shutout innings at the A's.
