sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Did you use MVP to play the HR Derby? For the HR Derby, I faced off two contestants at a time in the home run showdown, with the target distance 7,500 feet. Instead of noting who got to that distance first, I took the final home run totals of each player. All players were controlled by the computer - I just sat back and took pictures. The blast off between Morneau and Ramirez was done at 3,000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 So that pic wasn't photoshopped? Only resized to 640x480. Other than that, it's straight out of the game. Unless I add a lens flare to the ball to make it show up better, none of the pictures you see here are touched up. Crop and resize are all I do other than that.

Yeah, I think that's the one that is included in MVP 07. I haven't installed any other than rolie's Bum Stadium, so it's whatever one is the default.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 July 11, 2008 Bums Take 17-Inning Marathon 2-1 Offense collects just five hits over entire contest Both starters, Jeff Weaver (left) and Tim Lincecum (right) threw shutout baseball tonight, leaving the game in the hands of their respective bullpens. Before Lincecum left the game in the bottom of the eighth, he gave the idiot Bums crowd a scare when he just missed a home run with one out in the top of the frame. He eventually struck out. Kevin Frandsen finally broke through the scoreless tie in the tenth with a solo home run off Jonathan Brox- ton who, despite an excess amount of it, couldn't get enough weight behind an inside fastball. In his first save opportunity since his All-Star selection, Brian Wilson gave up a game-tying home run to Tony Abreu in the bottom of the tenth. Jesse Foppert was fantastic in relief for San Francisco, throwing four scoreless frames before the start of the 17th inning. Frandsen gave it his best effort on a ground ball from Abreu in the bottom of the 17th, but according to first base umpire Tim McClelland, tie goes to the runner. The infield single, the Bums second of the inning, load- ed the bases. Foppert couldn't overcome the bad breaks the 17th inning presented, surrendering a bases loaded single to Choo Freeman to end the contest. Scoring T10: Frandsen solo HR B10: Abreu solo HR B17: Freeman single scores Ethier W – Houlton (2-2) L – Foppert (3-2) Player of the Game: Kevin Frandsen 1-6, HR, RBI For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 July 12, 2008 Bums Win Another 2-1 Contest Giants muster just four hits in a lack of support for Zito Barry Zito suffered yet another hard-luck loss tonight, allowing just two runs on eight hits in seven innings of work. He fell to 4-7 while his ERA stands at 3.57. Tony Abreu lines a single just out of the reach of Zito in the second inning, driving in Matt Kemp for the first of two Dodgers runs in the frame. They would not score again - nor need to. Rafael Furcal left the game with an apparent arm injury after breaking up a double play in the third inning. Fred Lewis stole his 43rd base of the season in the sixth inning. He later scored the Giants only run on a single by Omar Vizquel. Scoring B2: Abreu single scores Kemp; Freeman sacrifice fly scores Martin T6: Vizquel single scores Lewis W – Penny (10-4) L – Zito (4-7) S - Broxton (21) Player of the Game: Fred Lewis 2-4, R, SB For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 James to Undergo Knee Surgery, Out for Season ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves have announced that pitcher Chuck James will undergo knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season. James, 26, appeared in 14 games for the Braves this season, starting eight of those contests. He went 3-2 with a 2.47 ERA in 65 and two-thirds innings. The left-hander has posted a WHIP of just 0.93 while striking out 51 and walking just 14 on the season. James started 32 games for Atlanta last season, posting a 14-9 record with an ERA of 3.62 over 211 and one-thirds innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 You gonna let them push you around like that, sf?? I'd say one of our pitchers is going to bean the first Dodger they face in the next game, but it's probably more likely that he will turn around and hit one of his fielders in the face if someone doesn't start hitting.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 July 13, 2008 Offense Still on Break as Bums Finish Sweep Every batter but Lewis strikes out at least once It was a beautiful day in Southern California - unless you're unlucky enough to be a Giants pitcher. Andy LaRoche drove in the first of two Dodgers runs today with an RBI single in the third inning. Randy Winn, like the rest of his teammates, continue to come up short in offensive situations. The Giants defense, like their pitching, has been steallar this season. Here, Fred Lewis robs LaRoche of a home run in the sixth inning. Kevin Corriea allowed just two runs in six innings today, but suffered the loss as the Giants offense was shut out for the 11th time this season.
