A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Broom Time

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on June 13, 2010

I really don’t *hate* the A’s or anything. But I REALLY want to see a sweep today. More so than if it was any other team. we’re in a prime spot to get this done. How many dominant starts in a row does Cain have in him? We’ll find out today……

    Wow huff

    Either way we aren’t getting much for him. He crawled back to us on a 1 yr deal. All the team we are talking about knew they had shitty catchers last winter and they still didn’t sign him. Why would they now give abything up for him when he’s having a shitty year????

  3. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:11 pm

    Okay, did I miss something here? Why have I automatically been assigned a gay limey bubble gum avatar?

    Molina’s inability to block balls in the dirt is hurting the team. Those backhanded “efforts” of his have got to stop.

    Helluva of relay there Mr. Downs. Nice tag Bengie. Get the fucking run back.

  5. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:12 pm

    Man, is there anything Huff can’t do these days? To be honest, I’d never heard of the guy until the Giants signed him.

  6. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:13 pm

    Terrific throw from Downs, and great tag from Benjie..

    Hey, Ted, or should I say Col. Klink. Nice monocle you got going on there. That shit even makes Mr. Peanut look gay.

  9. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:15 pm

    Yeah, Ted, somebody gave me an avatar, too. I think my avatar can beat up your avatar.

  10. Craig's avatar Craig said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:16 pm

    I’ll fix the avatar when I get home I ws just trying a different setting. “gay” us an understatement my apologies.

  11. stixwiz's avatar stixwiz said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:19 pm

    Not exactly a Mattsterly performance today. At least with the help of Huff the Magic Dragon, Downs and Bengie, the damage was minimized.

    Doubtful whether the Sando in second experiment will last beyond the afternoon. Hopefully never to be resurrected. Three slots in which he should NOT bat are leadoff, second and ninth.

  12. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Great, Flav had setting options and chose “gay”.
    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
    At least I look like I have money.

    So why trade him? It’s not like he is a Brian Bocock type player who isn’t doing shit for our team. He’s got some value to our squad, so why give him away for nothing?

  14. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Ah, the pitcher kick-save!

  15. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:21 pm

    After a long inning like Cain just had to endure, if our hitters aren’t smart enough to know to take a couple of pitches so he can at least catch his breath, Bochy’s gonna have to put on the take sign. It’s just goddamn ridiculous.

  16. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:22 pm

    Well, the Giants ARE carrying a lot of catchers on the squad. Buster needs to get some starts behind the plate.

  17. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    Speaking of Col. Klink…if you ever saw the film “Auto-Focus,” you’ll never see Hogan’s Heroes the same way.

  18. Craig's avatar Craig said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:25 pm

    Zoom- thinking the same thing about panda in the two. Was there any doubt he was going to swing first pitch. U wonder how much time he spends thinking about the situation…cal: makes sense. I’m not expecting that we trade him….

    “After a long inning like Cain just had to endure, if our hitters aren’t smart enough to know to take a couple of pitches..”
    Funny how Sandoval gets trashed by NAME if he swings early. It was Uribe and Burrell who went fishing…

  20. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:31 pm

    I saw AUTO FOCUS, zum. Good movie. There’s something disconcerting about the scene about Willem Dafoe doing a “prostrate exam” during a foursome on Greg Kinnear (sic). It’s not even a gay thing. it’s just…Willem Dafoe:

    [watching their videotaped orgy]
    Bob Crane: What is that on my ass?
    John Carpenter: That is my hand.
    Bob Crane: Rubbing my ass?
    John Carpenter: So what?
    Bob Crane: Your fingers are up my cheeks. What you doing in there?
    John Carpenter: lt’s an orgy, Bob.
    Bob Crane: So you can just touch my ass?
    John Carpenter: I thought you liked it. – I thought it was her! God! What’s the difference?
    Bob Crane: The difference? You got your fingers up my asshole!
    John Carpenter: Sorry.
    Bob Crane: Fuck you very much.
    John Carpenter: Bob, I said I’m sorry… It’s a group grope!

    …the avitars are actually hiliarious. I was wondering what the hell was going on.

    Zumie—is that the movie about Bob Crane’s life story? I saw that and I seem to remember it was a bit of a trip.

  22. Freshtodef80's avatar freshtodef80 said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:32 pm

    Cain’s a bit off today.

  23. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:32 pm

    I was singling out Pablo, fuck Uribe and Pat as well. Take a goddamn pitch. It’s not that difficult.

  24. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:32 pm

    “wasn’t” singling out Pablo…

  25. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:34 pm

    Guy’s got Cain today. 3 for 3

  27. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:36 pm

    Yeah, Crane was so addicted to sex you felt sorry for him in the film. Everything in his life unraveled.

    Fuck yeah. Now let’s go get some runs for Cainer.

  31. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:39 pm

    Let’s get Cainer the lead now, and get the brooms going.

  32. twinfan's avatar twinfan said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    Matt’s been fucking awful, a whole run today.

  33. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    Ditto.

  34. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:42 pm

    That may be the worst fan question in history. How do you pitch to Fosse? Wow- yeah, Fosse hit like Babe Ruth and Tris Speaker. Definitely a hitter to be worried about. Right.

    Back to Back Bountiful Beautiful Blasts.

  52. twinfan's avatar twinfan said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:50 pm

    Who worked Mazzaro for his only walk of the day?

  53. stixwiz's avatar stixwiz said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:51 pm

    Cain has thrown a lot of pitches. Can he improve with a decent lead? Could it be time for Ironhead Joe?

  54. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:53 pm

    I think Buster inadvertently picked out Rowand’s bat from the rack today. That’s no good wood, Jesus.
    I’d put it back if I were you. Using wood like that will only burden you with a cross to bear.

  55. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:55 pm

    Yeah, Sandoval with the walk to get the inning going. Good job from Pablo.

  56. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:56 pm

    Dennis, it’s why ultimately Posey needs to be catching. His offense will be impressive for a catcher, but not as much for a firstbaseman. Posey should catch, Huff to first, and then platoon Nate and Rowand.

  57. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 2:56 pm

    Like it or not, but the first guy outta the pen today will likely be Romo.

  58. twinfan's avatar twinfan said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:03 pm

    “Like it or not, but the first guy outta the pen today will likely be Romo.” Who would you suggest, Dennis?
    If there is one area where the flapper would totally fuck up, it’s handling the pen. Two guys might pitch 120 games each, everybody else 3 or 4…

  59. stixwiz's avatar stixwiz said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:05 pm

    One of the Mattster’s better innings. Now at 117 pitches. Could he possibly be good for another 12-15 pitches? More insurance would be nice as BW would maybe be running on fumes and who knows about the rest of them right now. Anyway, if they hold em with that 3-run lead, the comparatively sloppy W. would make up for that abortion in Oakland where Matt could have sued the batters for lack of support.

  60. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:05 pm

    Actually, I would suggest Romo today. And I’d have no choice in the matter–I’d have to like it!

  61. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:08 pm

    Shit, Bochy just burned Ishi for Rowand? I don’t have to like that.

  62. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:16 pm

    Yank him now. Unmotherfuckingbelievable.

  63. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:16 pm

    Ha ha!! Some guys just suck. Unbelievable.

  65. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:16 pm

    And the sad thing is, that throw wasn’t a surprise.

  66. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:18 pm

    B-bye Runzler. Enjoy the 110 degree heat in Fresno.

  67. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:19 pm

    Yank his sorry motherfucking ass all the way back to Fresno. Fuck him!

    Why the hell isn’t Bochy taking him out? Fuck this.

    Mota Time?

  70. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:22 pm

    Yeah, nothing like watching our lefthanded relievers take that big windup to throw to first….

  71. twinfan's avatar twinfan said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:23 pm

    Mota is the right move, though. The thing with the set up guy is the same as with the closer: he’s the guy until he isn’t the guy, if you follow. And it’s not as if anybody else has forced the issue.

  72. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:23 pm

    I said it yesterday, and I’ll say it again. We need better guys in the pen if we’re gonna continue to compete. Trade for an arm, before the bat.

  73. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:27 pm

    Frick. Come on, Mota!

  74. willied's avatar willied said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    WTF? Patterson is a .200 with no pop…Pennington’s the same. If you can’t get these guys out….

  75. willied's avatar willied said, on June 13, 2010 at 3:30 pm

    Or score more runs, Dennis, like the Yankees do.
