The San Francisco Giants Tortured Quiz

• Yeah, So Bengie Molina was 3 for 4 yesterday and drove in 2 runs and they bench him today? And, still win 6-0. You getting an inkling that we just might see Bengie and Buster in the World Series? h.

• Read the 25 man roster? He benched Zito (no surprise) but also Runzler which really surprised me since we're known by the pitchers we suit up. He kept Whiteside (cause he's an old catcher like Bochy?) and cut Ray (taking away my 'Relievers as 5th Starter' fantasy) but kept Renteria and Rowand (someone wrote this morning that benching those two along with Zito would force Sabean to face criticism for 1/3rd of his payroll not being on this first version of the playoff roster. And, he sat Guillen whom one would hope won't take it out on the water coolers during the game. All in all? What the hell. Maybe Freddie Sanchez is hurt worse than we know and that kept Renteria active. Maybe Bochy wants to rest Posey every other game to keep him 'fresh' and play Whiteside. This is one hell of an interesting team and I'm stoked. The Blue Angels just made their first pass over my SRO and game time is just over 4 hours away. It could be better. But, she said 'no'. Go Giants! h.

• Hey, don't get in a Fever Pitch about it, or I'll have to break out the Arsenal ... VC

• H. -- If I made it easy, what would be the fun in that? Trust me, there's no grading here. Besides, when's the last time you thought about Harry Spillman (if ever)? You can't make a quiz too simple when the word "torture" is involved! Have fun today. If that's possible... JE

• Geez, I wouldn't sign up for any of your classes. Your friggin' tests are too hard. I agree that a true Giants fan could ace this thing but I'd say that in a sell-out stadium with 42,000 that would be no more than a thousand. My favorite movie on 'gamers' is the one on the Red Sox fan done a couple of years ago. You remember, he tells his new girlfriend that he has something to tell her and she kind of freezes up cause they've already done the deed and he says: "I'm a Red Sox fan." and she relaxes and laughs and says she likes baseball too and he gets all serious and says: "No, I mean, I'm REALLY a Red Sox fan.". Gamers. Bandwaggoners. People leaning out their windows in curiosity as to what all the cheering/wailing and gnashing of teach is and why those crazy bastards are on top of the trolley car. Go Giants! h.
