Shit, casillas is good for one more walk here.
Unca Chuck said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:31 pm

Yup . . .

Shit, they leave him in???

youkalis went..he had him k
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:34 pm

This is goddamn ridiculous. And yet, we escaped somehow. It has to be the Orange Friday magic. No other reasonable or logical explanation for this Houdini act.
freshtodef80 said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:34 pm

Torture.
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:34 pm

wow
Macdog said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:35 pm

I’m about ready to check into Room B.
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:35 pm

I almost started smoking again 28 times in that fucking inning.
alleykat said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:36 pm

That inning was the total definition of Torture!!!!!!
stixwiz said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:37 pm

Whew! Maybe the problem is that on the Yahoo feed Casilla is wearing that silly green and yellow cap from his previous team. Wish they would show him in a nice black and orange topper. Magical thinking, i know, but it IS baseball.
Max808 said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:38 pm

Have some faith boys.

For those with size on the OVER, are you pulling forthe strikeout there?
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:39 pm

That was hard to fucking believe. Still, nobody hit the ball off him hardly at all. Boston has only 3 fucking hits all night.

Maybe Wake gets a few guys out of the doldrums….Pablo had a nice line shot, so did Posey, Ishi….not trying to crush stuff, just solid line drives.

Over ain’t covering yet.
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:39 pm

stix…enjoy the torture here…

stixwiz said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:40 pm

Really like the way Travis has been coming through in that P.H. role. Believe it or not, his BA is up to .312.
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:43 pm

Shout out to SanDog: Toreros have a guy from Los Gatos, Kyle Blair, who was WCC pticher of the year, and recently drafted in the 4th round, by Stros I think it was, reported here locally ( I just saw the LG times).
zumarust said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:44 pm

Rowand pulls the ball so severely so often, the thirdbaseman and shortstop are pulled way over, and there just isn’t much room for him to hit a ball through over there. He’s always trying to thread a needle over there.
Kevin said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:47 pm

I can’t believe they let that guy back out there after all those walks!!
alleykat said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:50 pm

Defintely the right move by Bochy.Let’s get Wilson to shut it down right now!!!!!
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:52 pm

agreed Kev, but I do like this move. Mota can sit down alongside the other guys.

I’ll give Twin props, Casilla does have some unhittable stuff. But too many balls in the dirt. Boston did not hit the guy, tho.
Max808 said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:53 pm

That’s what you get with Casilla. Effectively wild. 🙂 Hell, I’d rather he walk someone than lay one in there.
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:53 pm

We need another arm.
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:55 pm

BTW, I just wanted to give michael/TwnFn about four thumbs up from two hands for even providing these prizes. It’s a really cool sideline aspect of the blog. 🙂 BTW, … coffee cup? 😀
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:55 pm

Of course Wilson wasn’t going to make this easy. Jesus fucking Christ. We need another arm.
alleykat said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Shit the bar better be open in Room B.
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:58 pm

Fuck you, you former Oakland motherless fuck. Ha!
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 9:58 pm

strike 4 got him
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:00 pm

Darnell is a cool name. I remember seeing Darnell coles play here when he was with the Pit late 80s.

I remember Darnell Hillman out of Jose State who spent a long time in the NBA. Shot blocking machine, with a classic fro too.
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:01 pm

Eeesh.., we’re still holding on! I expected this to be one of those dramas where you wake up and realize that your rent, your visa card, and your girlfriend are *all* about three months ‘late’.
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:03 pm

I can’t take any more of this shit. Prescription medication can only do so much.
This games ranks A#1 on this years litany of “Giants baseball: Torture!”
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:04 pm

Hell, with Buster catching abnd Joe or Madison pitching, reward Travis and Nate with a start tomorrow…
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:08 pm

Why not, one day against another young guy:
Torres CF
Sanchez 2B
Sandoval 3B
Uribe SS
Burrell LF
Posey C
Ishikawa 1B
Schierholtz RF
- delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm
  
  I like that LU for tomorrow. It has to be Madison tomorrow, right? Joe warmed up in the pen. They can’t yank around a guy’s arm like that and ask his to start the next day. Fucking Nate missed the cutoff man again. And people wonder why he doesn’t start.
  - giant head said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:45 pm
    
    Dennis, that is why they have two guys over to cut it 🙂
    
    Twin, I frickin love that lineup for tomorrow…looks like the Sox have Huff’s number with the shift on defense. Give him a day off. Bum pitches/Posey catches….love it!
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:10 pm

oh yeah, baby, and the Dodgers are losing in the 8th.
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:11 pm

Two words, Mr. Wilson:
No walks.
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm

Hope our pen is eating Wheaties for b-fast next 16 days.
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm

a weird reverse gestalt to “watch” the game thru these comments only; from what I gather, I could’ve watched it online. This is easier on the nerves and more amusing. Short-wave-mystical-ersatz radio.
stixwiz said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm

At least nobody was on when Youk tripled.
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:19 pm

can’t stand Youk; he looks like a 1990s Astro reject douche
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:20 pm

Dodgers lose (helpful). Wilson throws — base hit score (not helpful for my cardiac situation)
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:21 pm

this AB better not go 321 pitches like against that Astro guy
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Jesus fucking Christ Wilson. Get the last goddamn out.
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:24 pm

My cardiologist says my problem is that I watch too many Giants games. Asked for a second opinion — he says I’m ugly, too!
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:25 pm

Jesus, Wilson is going gas can again.
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:27 pm

Here we go.
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

How many pitches for Wilson?
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

Make this simple: he deserves to fucking lose this.
But i hope he doesn’t 😉
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

this is killing us, serially
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

38 so far
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:30 pm

how do you spell torture? G-I-A-
Macdog said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:31 pm

Just your everyday, 4-out, 42-pitch save.
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:31 pm

Congrats…Giants Baseball torture…but, It’s Magic inside
ferrethead said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:32 pm

Woo-freakin’-Hoo!!!! I’m exhausted….but happy! ;-D
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:32 pm

Flav…congrats on the over…!
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:32 pm

I swear this guy is gonna kill me. 42 pitches to get through an inning and a third. Cripes.
Max808 said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:32 pm

haha
…you guys are fucking hilarious
zumarust said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm

There’s magic inside that torture!
delmardennis said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Is it over?
alleykat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Unbelievable!!!!!!! Shots are lining up at the Doggbreath Hotel.
willied said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm

wow…flav covers, Giants win. Unbelievable, esp. if Casilla is credited with a hold.

In the famous words of Moses Malone, “Fo fo fo”…I need fo mo for 17 ws.

Actually, the other guys have better tiebreak numbers so i’m probably out (to lunch) anyway.
zumarust said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm

No, Dennis, it turns out there’s still one more inning somehow. Yikes! (grin)
stixwiz said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:34 pm

After that episode i would think all Flappers understand why i call Wilson ‘Sarah Bernhardt’, the most famous Drama Queen of all time.
San Dog said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Wow—what a win. Fuck, I’m drained.

WillieD: love the Kyle Blair fun fact. I also appreciate the Darnell references. I once saw Coles go deep twice at the Big A when he was with the Tigers. If memory serves, Doug DeCinces ended it with a walk-off.
I also remember Hillman joining the Warriors late in his career. We saw him throw some sick dunks during warm-ups.
giant head said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Frickin Torture is all I have to say! The Bum tomorrow?
mrmrbill said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:35 pm

It’s gonna take a week for my butt to un-pucker. Typical Gigantes game. And Sanchez gets the win. Hate my favourite only team.
Max808 said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:35 pm

Yeah, flav congrats. We know you were pulling for V Martinez to get that hit 🙂
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:36 pm

Whoever starts tomorrow better go deep into the game.
wswinb4igo said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:37 pm

Casilla and Wilson read the Houdini book….on escape. It’s Magic inside…
stixwiz said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:37 pm

WSW: Thanks for the video info. Didn’t go there. Way things went my heart couldna stood to be watching it direct. With that powerful new puter, though, and dsl to go, i do need to check out a video feed soon. Maybe Sunday. I don’t like the prospect of a Bucholtz-Martinez matchup. But we did get that first one and its Timmy vs Lester on Sunday.
giant head said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:38 pm

I was about to get on earlier, but figure why jinx it and make note that it seems that extra run we score always seems to be a huge extra run.

Props to Nate! Base hit, speed to get to second on the grounder and the speed to score on a sacrifice..he gets one of the stars tonight.

The one really bad pitch from Wilson was the 1-2 to Beltre that Whiteside wanted a fastball up high and he hung it…whew! I am pissed I get no tv coverage tomorrow…sweep!
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:38 pm

I think we are now 12-13 in one-run games. When we go over .500 in that category, we will be in first. We will then stay in first as long as we win more one-run games than we lose. Tortuously simple. A simple plan.
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:38 pm

Lol! Giants: 11 K’s, 10 BB’s.
twinfan said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:39 pm

Rivera struck out the side to save the Yankee game: Manny, Kemp, Loney… a little different from our guy tonght, eh?
PawlieKokonuts said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:41 pm

dawn approaching; somnolent sign-off, fellow unravellers
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:42 pm

Sleep well Pawlie.
JBat said, on June 25, 2010 at 10:43 pm

How the hell did we win this game?!
