A BALK? A FRIGGIN' BALK?...WAIT, TWO BALKS?
For a while, it was good. Lincecum was givin' it, Omar was making some fine defensive plays, and we were keeping the Mets in check.
And then a friggin' balk. Two of 'em, actually. Unbelievable. Two balks are called all year in the big leagues, and one of them just happens to be when the Giants are up 4-3 with 2 outs in the 12th and the tying run on third. And the other one was maybe two minutes earlier?You gotta be kidding me.
Anyway, I think this sums it up better than I could. Thank you to Grant at McCovey Chronicles for a laugh on this dismal day. And sorry, Armando, but you can't fall back on the home run you gave up to J.T. Snow in 2000 as payment already received. We lost that game too.
