Is there some retaliation in store tonight?



For those of you that didn't watch the Giants game last night let me break down what went down in the bottom of the 7th.  Torres drew a one out walk by surviving a 16 pitch battle.  A couple batters later he was at 3rd and tried to make it home on a wild pitch.  Right as the pitch got away from the Padres catcher, Torres should have taken off and he would have scored.  Instead, his ADD kicked in and he chased a few butterflies for a second and that made all the difference.  He was thrown out at home and the inning was over.  After the Padres reliever Chad Qualls tagged Torres, Qualls got up and spiked the ball in the face of Torres and the ump.  I guess he was a little pissed about letting Torres get on base after the 16 pitch battle earlier, but still come on!  Right as he spiked it I thought to myself (yelled out loud) that he was for sure going to get ejected for the horrible sportsmanship he just committed.  Every person in the crowd, on the Giants bench, and watching on TV saw what happened.  After the game, Torres was not happy about what went down in the 7th inning and I bet he wouldn't mind if MadBum burned some hair off the chin of the first Padres batter tonight.

If I were Bochy I would demand that MadBum does that exact thing and send a message to the guys in the other dugout that the Giants don't get shown up in their own house.

Go Giants!
