We are home to play the Mets. Today that means Sid Fernandez (6-0, 1.65). Yeah.

The Giants have Eric Show (4-3, 3.16).

I have gone 7 for 32 against El Sid, or .219.


I led off the home half by flying out to Gerald Young in centre.

I came up next in the 3rd with one out and Steve Stanicek on 3rd and Chris Brown on 2nd. (Both Ruben Sierra and Brian Giles had the day off today.) I flew out to centre but both guys moved up on the sac fly. Then Chris scored on a single by Mike Aldrete.

Giants lead 2-0

I made my first defensive play in the top of the 4th, catching a Darryl Strawberry pop up for the 1st out. We then got Kevin Mitchell and Wally Joyner with a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play.

I came up with two out in the 5th and grounded out to Johnny Ray at 2nd.

In the 7th we got Strawberry and Mitchell with a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play.

In the bottom half Robby Thompson scored on a sac fly by Steve.

Giants lead 3-0

I led off the 8th, now facing Calvin Schiraldi. I grounded out to Hubie Brooks at short. Later that inning Mike scored on a wild pitch.

Giants lead 4-0

Strawberry led off the 9th with a home run.
Mark Davis came in after that.
Three batters later we had the 4-1 win.

We did what nobody else has been able to do so far this year - given Sid Fernandez a loss.

I went 0 for 3 with a sac fly RBI.

Down to .333

After that game we found out that Tom O'Malley was sent back to Phoenix and Alan Cockrell was called up.

There is talk that I might get the day off.
