A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
We talking wall or retired numbers? The wall is for 10 year Giants . . .
isn’ tit?
Uh, shit. Not again . . .
Seems to be e theme. . . .
“He’s already in the HOF, he doesn’t need or deserve a retired number…”
I thought that was the bleeping criteria for getting your number retired?
See where Carlos”Volatile”Zambrano blew another gasket in the dugout today for the Cubbies. after the 1st inning.Derek Lee and the psycho had to be restrained after Z said the players weren’t diving for balls that were rockets and passed them before they could even react.He was probably most pissed off at the Left Fielder for not wearing a jet pack on Carlos Quentin’s 3 run bomb he should have caught.He was suspended from the team indefinitely and is reported headed for Room B’s padded cell.Which would be just right for this psycho don’t forget to add a straitjacket.
If you haven’t seen the Univision version of the Donovan goal, check this. Outfrigginstanding… http://tinyurl.com/3aevt2j
Bumgarner looks to be tomorrow’s starter. He was scratched tonight with Matos taking his place.
That’s fabulous news. Bumgarner-Buster battery. Future starts tomorrow.
Edwin Jackson got it going on thru 7 1/3. Can’t anybody hit the damn ball anymore?
he’s walked 7 fucking guys. They can’t get a hit cause he can’;t throw a strike……The Giants starting 2 lefties in a row against this team makes me think they don’t give too much consideration to stats and splits. Why didn’t they fucking start him against the Orioles? This is dumb, but I’ll take it. I get the Posey game and now the Bum game. Sweet videos will get posted….
Hell, why not start him against the RSox? It’s about a month late, but might as well get him goin’. Adios to Walkemeyer in the rotation…
We were listed at +140 for tomorrow w/ Joe pitching. Guarantee than number drops when Bum is officially named.
Starting Joe would only have been delaying the inevitable for no good reason. Bumgarner had absolutely nothing left to prove. Now, who goes down? I did say that would be Runzler. I’ll stick with that. He’s still a terrific relief prospect but he needs to sharpen his control outside of the pressure of a play off chase…
why should it drop? If anything we have a WORSE chance. You guys don’t seem to appreciate what the red Sox do to LH pitching. And they get to *warm up* on Dirrrty tonight. I’m taking the over tomorrow, too 9since I could never bring myself to bet against SF)…
Who goes back down, Denny or Dan? I say human walking machine better reacquaint himself with the Fresno nightlife.
It should be added that I see that Bochy claims it’s strictly precautionary, that Joe is still scheduled to start tomorrow.
Edwin fucking Jackson threw a no-no. Baseball has hit a new low.
149 pitches, 8 walks. Not sure what to say about that. I’m leaning towards it’s pretty cool that he threw a 149 pitch no hitter….
No shit. Edwin Jackson? 3rd (*) no-no this year
Wait. Nevermind. I’m confusing myself. I was thinking perfect game. But still. Edwin Jackson? 149 pitches *is* impressive, though
7 of those walks he got through the first 2.1 innings pitched…..
Tampa Bay on the receiving end of a perfect game (D. Braden) and now a no-no. Strange.
Damn Dagos are up on Florida. What is with that bunch? Seems like they just keep scoring enough runs to win most of em.
“Strictly precautionary”. WTF does that mean? I’m figurin’ they’ll be lucky to win 1 outta the next two, but maybe the unknown factor would help Bum, tho’ the Sox are masters at taking pitches and messin with the pitcher’s mind. Bring him up and let him loose, get his MLB career going. What, Joe Martinez is a better bet? Phhhhhhhhukkkkkk that….
“Strictly precautionary”. WTF does that mean?
—————
Maybe if Martinez is used in relief tonight?
This organization can really piss me off sometimes with their doublespeak. Name Madison the goddamn starter and be done with it. Stop pissing me off.
Dirty might make it a moot choice if he doesn’t get outta this inning soon. Home ump isn’t helping any with his minuscule SZ.
As I type this, Youk goes yard. Warm up Joe. Motherfuck.
Wow. Nice start for Nasty.
30 pitches, 1 out.
Scheise, already down three zip. Just read TedSpe’s very funny POTD.
Fuck the Sox. And fuck the goddamn Padres who won AGAIN tonight. I thought me and Costanza had an agreement.
Might be a good night to turn in early on the Eastern coast but inland territory.
8 walks in a no no? Yikes. . . . Edwin Jackson?
Gimme a fucking break . . .
Goddamn SD won again.
Hey. Nasty made it without more damage . . .
Let’s try not to hit into anymore goddamned motherfucking DPs tonight, OK????
I was kinda relieved to see the HR, frankly…
Now let’s start getting them back…
Maybe if Martinez is used in relief tonight?”
Looking likely. Damn, I hadn’t even sat down.
Check that. I said one of the next two. How ’bout zero of the next two?…
Fuck. 8 pitches? Joe’s getting action tonight . . .
10 motherfucking pitch inning for Wakefield. Great way to start the home stand. I guess it only can go up from here.
Our undefeated Orange Friday streak is in serious jeopardy early.
Madison can only help so much. Anyone have Roy Oswalt on speed dial?
Our starting rotation is looking very shaky of late.
Amazing how 3 sp can make you sick 3 days in a row
A Short Story…
By Big Flavor….
The year was 1993 and I was dating the fair Ann Marie. An east coast beauty who I had dated all Winter and Spring, we spent a whirlwind week of passion and intrigue on the beach at Cape Cod. She had it all and she loved baseball, too….
One night we were at a bar drinking and there was some blip of a news report on whoever the Pirates were playing that day. Tim Wakefield was pitching. I turned to Ann Marie and said knowingly, “you know what? That dude is going to still be pitching in the big leagues 20 years from now.”
She laughed and said I didn’t know what i was talking about……
It was at that moment that I realized Ann Marie wasn’t actually hot enough for me to travel across country to bang. We broke up at the end of that week…..
And I am a couple years away from tracking that chick down on facebook and sending her a *friend request* with one word in the message: “Wakefield”…..
FiftyFOUR ptiches? Oh my gwaad!
Don;t see that every day . . .
It’s only been 18 years . . .
Whitey with the chance to do some serious damage. Infield hit, take it. Dirty needs to avoid the DP.
How ya like that shit. Great fucking bunt. Ya Dirty!
What a bizarre inning…
Torres hits that anywhere but there and whitehead scores
I think Dustin just broke his foot. Sanchez needs to put up a damn 0 this frame.
Keep the momentum.
Shutdown now Sanchez…
Oh boy ……………….
Down ad in, Nasty . . .
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!
Have some of our DP medicine Bo Sox.
Magnus, why wait? Wakefield her now. Better than giving her a bit of the ol’ Garko.
glad I stayed up; this could get better than porn
UUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Juan-Gone! Keep the Orange Friday shit going.
Right in the ol’ ambulance . . .
ooooooooooooooooh-reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee=baaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hit high ,Hit deep,It’s atta here Uribe!!!
Hmmmmm…. Who hammered the over? Yes. Pawlie, I checked, she’s not on facebook. Clearly, she’s hiding from me. The humiliation of me dropping the Wakefield future knowledge on her 17 years later has scared her underground.
Poor Jon Miller is conditioned into thinking everything is a DP. Can’t blame him.
#20 off the table. Good for the giants. This isn’t like that balderdash rich aurilia rumor. Absolutely deserved. Honor your history and the men who made it…
Was having problems with the old iMac during the second inning via Yahoo feed. Pablo had just singled. Computer was really fritzy on the Safari program. So i fired up the April prizewinner. Thanks again, T.F. and lo and behold the Giants had plated their first run and then the fun continued. Just downloaded some updates there while monitoring the game and then Juan Gone Golden. Yesssss! Maybe the htpc is the good luck computer for tuning into Giants games. Still that learning curve, but if it takes a new machine to get Drrrty buckling down, like in just K-ing Beltre, i’m all for it.
No excuse for Torres not to run off Wakefield.That was just dumb fucking baseball their.
He’s probably never seen him. You do have to figure the guy’s move. Stealing isn’t automatic…
Stix, glad to hear you’re getting some use out of the HTPC..
After that rough first, not all that bad for Dirty all things considered. Hung tough.
Romo to the rescue.
Well, you absolutely cannot walk that cocksucker. Can’t believe they let McDonald hit here..
Thank you, though.
Seems Romo is night and day at home v away
So ESPN shows its second SFGs game this year. But is is the NESN feed. So I crank up the KNBR game and they are one pitch ahead of the video.
Still I am seeing a misty AT&T orange jersey game.
Both at bats Youkillis has a nasty east coast foul mouth; doesn’t seem right in our park.
And Romo does his impression of a wilson inning.
Let’s get some hits!
Old knuckleballers don’t die; they just float around the strike zone.
Might as well hit him if yer gonna walk Wakefield…
Good fucking God. Pull him NOW….
Un-fucking-believable.
Fucking walks Wakefield. Cock-sucking motherfuck. It must be written in goddamn stone somewhere that our pen must walk the first fucking batter each fucking inning.
Goddamn son of a bitch. This is horseshit. Throw strikes.
It’s only the pitchers that get the walks.
Can I delete that?
Arm slot / / / / . . .
pitiching aropund this guy.
Fuck. come on, whitehead!!!
A free 90 ft. Fuck him and his sister. Our pen is full of permanent Room B residents.
Fucking morons the bunch of ’em. We need another arm. This inning is going totally into the shitter quickly. Whitey can’t catch either.
