you guys do know the umpire was a mets fan right? i mean come on.. zito couldve struck out those 2 batters before it became a big inning, but the umpire decided those fastballs and curveballs DOWN THE MIDDLE werent strikes. If he had called the game like he should have right there Giants wouldve won 6-1 or 6-3 tops.
Lowry might be out for season
Noah Lowry, SP SF
News: Giants left-hander Noah Lowry had another MRI exam on his surgically repaired throwing forearm and won't be pitching any time soon -- maybe not at all this season. "That's questionable," manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday. "We don't know if he will be back on the mound this year. It's fair to say we're getting to that point that it's a fair question." Lowry was examined Tuesday by Dr. Robert Gamburd, the same physician who did some of the pitcher's preliminary tests back in spring training. The 27-year-old Lowry was shut down April 30 for what the team called a significant amount of time, still experiencing tingling in his left forearm that forced him to undergo surgery to repair his nerves in March. "This was mostly more of a follow-up to see where he's at. He's making progress, slow progress," athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said. "He has shown some improvement in his symptoms. It's still frustrating for him."
Analysis: Lowry, who led the Giants with 14 wins last season and has a 40-31 record with a 4.03 ERA in 106 career games, is still feeling "pins and needles" in his forearm and the tingling has moved down toward his hand as part of the healing process. Once Lowry is cleared medically, he would need to begin a basic throwing program of playing light catch, working into longer distances, simulated games and, eventually, making rehab assignments in the minor leagues. There is still no timetable when that might be -- or if it will happen at all this year. While Groeschner isn't ready to tell Lowry he won't pitch this season, but it is becoming more of a long shot as each day, week and month passes

it aint a conspiracy.. go back and watch, they were strikes. Strikes that wouldve ended that big inning they had. You guys mightve won the series BUT we still put up more runs the whole series. 19-16.. Yeah we lost.. all in all we scored more runs than y'all and everyone anticipated.
And thats with a rookie/non power hitting line up vs. your "dynamic" line up with big hitters all over that line up. Hmmmmm.
What you gotta say to that CZAR?

theres no rules, he can go straight to the majors since he has college experience. Or spend a year in the minors and if he shows right away that he's as good as his numbers say he'll be called up. Lowry is a good example of this, he was drafted by the giants.. and a couple months later he was called up.
