Slam. Slam. Slam.

That's the sound of me hitting my heading against a wall.

Last night, I settled in to watch he Giants play the Marlins.. After giving up a four-run first inning, and then muffing an easy out at first, I decided that I was going to bed (I was very tired from work) and miss the inevitable slaughter. Get up this morning, pull up the SFGate, and..

San Francisco Giants: 12
Florida Marlins: 9

What happened right after I turned the TV off? Well, the Giants fell behind 9-2. Then we came to bat.

Brian Dallimore, a 30 year old rookie in his first major league at bat after nine years in the minors, hits a grand slam. The fifth major-leaguer since 1974 to hit a slam for his first hit. Bobby Bonds was another. Marquis Grissom had four singles and Pedro Feliz drove in three runs. The Giants had 16 hits.

This wackiness comes a day after an Oakland Tribune article claimed that newly-acquired catcher A.J. Pierzynski. (We call him D.P Pierzynski, since he seems to enjoy hitting into double plays so much) is a cancer in the clubhouse, with the work ethic of a drunken slug. He didn't play yesterday, but that, and a meeting run by Bonds on the Giants' hitting woes seem to have made a difference.

I, of course, slept through it all. :)
