'A' nother nice win

Hey guys, Jax here.

It was great to see the Giants pull it out against the A's last night in Oakland. The place was packed and Tim Lincecum went the distance after struggling through the sixth and seventh innings.

Luckily I didn't get to just see the box score, we watched a lot of the game on TV! Thank God "So You Think You Can Dance" wasn't on--that totally ruins my baseball watching. One of these days I'm just going to snatch that remote with my teeth and change it back to baseball. They'll probably think it's cute!

Amyway, last night in Oakland there were so many Giants fans, chanting "Let's go Gi-ants" and "Beat L.A." I love it. Especially after they violated us last year when A's fans took over AT&T Park. Last night, Timmy (7-2, 2.57 ERA) just had the grit to not worry about letting a few guys on base. Announcer Mike Krukow had a great way to describe Timmy's change-up:

"What is hitting? Timing. What is pitching? Upsetting the hitter's timing," Kruk said. Timmy's change ups and curveballs were on point, then he just blows by batters with a 96 mph fastball. We're witnessing something really special here, and it's been two years in the bigs, so it's not just facing batters who haven't figured him out yet. He's just that good.

Could it by Cy Young No. 2?

I'm feeling pretty good, I've been on deer patrol and taking a leak on some trees etc. My walks have been standard lately, a lot of sniffing going on. I'm kind of lazy, as usual.

I'm looking forward to this Giants road trip to Milwaukee and St. Louis, especially the earlier start times. I'm just sitting in the garage here, so why not start the games in the afternoon, right?

Big hike

Hey guys, Jax here. The Giants lost to the A's last night because they couldn't score any runs. News flash.

Giants GM Brian Sabean has told reporters that the team will probably wait until closer to the non-waiver trade deadline (July 31) to make any moves. Let's hope it involves Jonathan Sanchez.

I'm feeling a lot better. No more ear problems or anything else. Yesterday I went on the hike to end all hikes with Brooke. We walked on trails that became no trails, we hiked through poison oak, we ran down to a reservoir and I jumped in the water with all these people on boats watching me. I swam like halfway across this huge lake, it was great. Even Brooke waded across part of the lake with her cell phone held out of the water.

I have no idea what she was doing, but I had a blast. I slept so well last night, just exhausted.

Anyway, I hope the Giants can win the rest of the games against the A's. Cause then they start a road trip to Milwuakee and St. Louis, where they just might get pounded.

Adios,

Jax

I hate the vet

Hey everybody, Jax here.

I know it's been a while since my last post, I've been busy. I had to go to the vet yesterday because Brooke thought I had an STD. It turns out it's totally normal to have a little discharge happening down there, who knew?

I thought I got it from Chili, or Healey, or whatever his name is. And the vet put this liquid in my ears to dry them out, one of them was kind of infected. Damn floppy ears...

Anyway the Giants have been struggling lately but at least they're above .500. They could make a real run for the Wildcard if they can make some savvy trades. Even Giants Manager Bruce Bochy seems tired of pumping up Jonathan Sanchez (2-7, 5.43 ERA). There is speculation he was just talking him up to raise his trade value, but that time has passed. He's just a headcase, like I've been saying for months.

I'm not sure what team would want him unless he was packaged with a Giants prospect like Buster Posey or Madison Baumgartner. Maybe Sanchez could become a reliever? They can't send him down to Class AAA ball because another team could snatch him on waivers, so the Giants are kind of stuck.

The question is whether the Giants should go for it this year and get a bat or two, or just slog it out and hope that they build to a division title next season. Patience is hard!

Hopefully the Giants can get some Ws from the Rangers, who are in town this weekend. Meanwhile, I'll be picking foxtails out of my fur, eating, snoring, and shaking my head a lot to try to get the water out of my ears. I think I woke up 25 times last night shaking the shit out of my ears.

I hate the stupid vet.

Adios,

Jax

Reach for the stars, or the food

Hey everybody, Jax here.

Not a lot going on today, the Giants are playing the Washington Nationals tonight with Tim Lincecum on the mound against some guy named Craig Stammen.

The Nationals starting pitchers are looking for their first win, so I'm hoping the Gigantes can get a few hits and win some games here. The National are also DFL in the National League East, so ... let's start this road trip off right.

I've been jumping on the kitchen counter lately for food, and generally being a horse's ass by chasing cats, barking at deer, not coming when I'm called ... No one cares though, because I'm so darn cute. Even at 125 lb.

I've learned that everything can be cured with a few big face licks. That's right.

Adios,

Jax
