Tucker vs. Weaver; Tucker vs. Gagne
Michael Tucker did nothing wrong in the Jeff Weaver incident, and in the Eric Gagne incident, he probably had it in the back of his mind that Gagne might go after him. And when the objectionable pitch sailed high, Tucker figured, there was the attempt. Gagne, I'm sure, figured he could throw one high without coming close in an attempt to make it seem like he wasn't actually throwing at Tucker.
That's my take. No punches were thrown, no bats went upside anyone's skull a la Juan Marichal, so in other words, a pretty calm Giants-Dodgers series.
Oh yeah: We won all four games and now have a two-and-a-half game lead on L.A. in the N.L. West. I'd tell Dodger Fan to stick it up his you-know-what, but I don't think the Dodgers, and consequently their fans, are important enough to taunt.
Now, it's off to Oakland. Our hitting and pitching fortunes should continue and we should take at least two of three, starting with tonight's two-hit shutout by Jason Schmidt...(maybe?)
