Everyone Come in Off the Ledge Before Game Two Starts
Just a demoralizing loss, there’s no other way to describe it. When you consider that we all love baseball, ultimately, for *enjoyment* it makes you wonder how we could watch last night’s game in its entirety….
And Torre almost was conceding the game with that starting line up. Sitting Kemp, Loney AND Martin? Jesus.
Maybe the baseball Gods just hate Barry Zito. When we get games like last night it always *seems* like he’s pitching. Struggling to score runs, bonehead plays, 8th inning implosions…”Zito Games” have it all. It’s too bad, he pitched very well. Again.
Loved the “Hate the Blake” posts on the last thread. Nice Seinfeld reference…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
im not a big “Kearns” fan. All hype, always has been. Plus, we’ve already got a guy, for free, who will out perform him at the plate: Burrell……
I agree on the Kearns article. As I stated…I am not a fan of trade talk at this time. Maybe once we get closer to the non-waiver deadline…but for now…nah.
Torres-CF
Franchez-2B
Panda-1B
Huff-RF
Pat-LF
Uribe-3B
Bengie-C
Rent-SS
Matty-P
This Bengie bullshit needs to fucking stop.
Looks like the June contest will be going down to the wire. The four most in the hunt at this time (with current totals and projectsions). Current – 13 wins, 104 runs, 23 bombs.
GiantHead 15W 119R 22 bombs
ChiPower 15W 117R 22 bombs
James 14W 117R 19 bombs
Blade 14W, 116R, 13 bombs
Now giddy-up and go kick some Dodger ass the next two games…oh say 5-sumthing, and 8-sumthing.
A base running boo-boo got Pablo back in the 3-hole. Another tonight and I guess he wins a free car.
Ah…beat me to the punch, Dennis. I agree…WTF. Bengie is killing this club. Bochy just needs to set it straight with the starters who want Bengie as their battery-mate. They have to see how the guy is just flat-out sucking ass at the plate. ARGH!
Uribe’s bat is tired right now, anyone can see that. But Bochy still runs him out there everyday. Posey has had, what, 5 days off in the last 10 days? Something like that….
Putting Panda back in the 3 is a good move, though.
It is a good move, I concur. Should have never taken him out in the first place. Except for that one time when Bochy hit him 8th to teach him a lesson. I liked that move–one time only tho.
No Kemp again for the Bums. WTF is his problem?
Well, thank God they keep fucking Jesus firmly on the bench. God forbid he gets a start behind the dish.
Dennis, that’s some serious waffling on Panda. Weren’t you totally down with moving him lower?
I like moving Rent down below goddman Bengie. . . .
I was the one raising Cain when Franchez came back and hit third, remember?
I don’t think I can stand watching Molina anymore.It hurts my retinas to see what he calls “baseball”.He swung at a pitch last night so that it wouldn’t hit him.His D is laughable,no arm,no mobility…and half the WP that Iv’e seen were easily stopped by an average catcher.Of course i don’t have to mention that he’s slower then a turtle and the worse pro condition athlete in the world.Listening to Kruk try to justify Molina’s existence is so sad.Molina’s fat is infecting everyone.I hate how everyone has to work around him.
Fuck Furcal-SS
Russell “I’m no Dean” Martin-C
Andre “Call me Ayldar ’cause I ain’t winning the Triple Crown” Ethier-RF
OBGYN-LF
Loney Tunes-1B

Joyce DeWitt-2B
Reed “But you don’t have to call me a” Johnson-CF
I’m outta material. John Ely-P
Kruk did use the word “eroding” on knbr the other day when referringto Molina’s skills. that’s about as far as he can go when trying to evaluate him objectively
If Bengie goes ofer the night and Pablo discovers a new way to demonstrate his current slumpitude, we can rest assured that management will reward them again tomorrow. Bochy has some good points, but i wonder if they extend to motivating his players. I’ll be delighted to be proven wrong on this, but that will not happen for a few more hours.
Dennis,maybe the Giants could trade for “Smoke the Hemp Kemp”.
WTF did they bring up Buster if they didn’t intend to play him in his proper position more than once per week or so. No wonder the kid is scuffling. No respect. Bengie fluffs it again tonight and i’m gonna let out a holler heard from the Northwoods of Minnesota to Mount Tam.
He probably pulled something swinging at ball 4 last night.

Another possibility is that Fleming and the rest of the postgame guys bumped their heads together while they were sucking his cock and bit too hard…
Lmfao.
What, no Rowand??? So we only have two of the total washups playing tonight??? At least Bochy is smart enough to bat them back to back because that will surely help end the double play problem.
Flav was right, I was right on the ledge last night, ready to jump from the view level. Continuing to see Molina and Rent in the lineup might just send me off it.
Just two possibilities..
Write when you hit the ground, Bagger.
If I only had a smart phone, that would be the last thing I do TF.
I don’t get it either, Stix. A week before they brought him up, the concensus was that Jesus would come up to catch.
Oh well, got to get Bengie out of his slump. . . . Maybe he’ll come around in September . . .
Just get yourself a loooong cord there, 3bag . . .
Seriously, last night was the most frustrating game I’ve ever attended. I’m sure it had something to do with losing to the Fodgers while SD finally lost, as the Giants have had worse games in my lifetime. But still, I don’t remember ever being so pissed after a ballgame. They have to play better tonight…I’m out of valium.
That was just a truly disgusting display by Greg Papa, mocking Pablo’s English by saying a translator was needed for his explanation ( Sandoval was speaking English) There is a heck of a lot of Kruegerism in the savaging of a 23 YO who commited the terrible sin of making a base running mistake (and slumping at the plate).
GH, yeah. Meant to comment on your Warrior post. I was 100% sure they would take Monroe with Cousins gone. But, noooooo. They take another project guy in Udoh. As in Doh!!! I swear, they pick shit so they don’t have to play them or pay them.
You look at their last 6 year of drafting, and it’s a Who’s Who of who???
Patrick O’Bryant, anyone? Marco Belinelli? Richard (Purple haze) Hendrix? Kosta Perović? Ike Diogu? Fuck ’em. The Warriors are dead to me. Ellison can’t buy the team fast enough. Shitcan EVERYONE but Curry. Start the fuck over. . . .
Randolph, Ellis, and Curry in the past 6 years is foul for as high as they have been consistently picking.
Wow didn’t see it but if that’s what papa said he should be suspended. That’s fucking awful. A guy goes out of his way to learn the language and try to communicate to the fans through the media and papa mocks him?
Shit, what’d I miss? Was this on the radio, or TV, Mike?
Never liked the guy (Papa) anyway, so say sayonara, motherfucker . . .
I could not believe it and he said it so cheerfully, in his char, legs crossed, smiling: “We’re gonna need a translator for this” and the cut goes directly to Sandoval explaining his gaffe in broken English..
On Comcast. The live feed to Torre fucked up so he went to Sandoval explaining last night.
When I get home I’m going to find out where to send complaints. And I’m gojng to do a blog thread about it and send it to comcast. That is total fucking bulkshit from a guy I don’t like anyway
Any other of you local Comcast subscribers seeing the game being listed tonight?
I have a bad feeling it’s not gonna be on tonight.
Denny WTF are u talking about? Why wouldn’t it be on tonight?
It’s on NBC tonight but it doesn’t list the game on the TV guide grid for 7:00 Ch. 3 has regularly scheduled programming. I dunno.
I have Mediacom, it’s on 22 here.
Denny, I’m not home yet, still at the pool, but there is no fucking way in helll that the Giants/Dodgers game isn’t being televised here. It’ll all work out my man. But I’m glad you’ve got the ledge, it’s a good place to trip on things like this 🙂
I have directtv and I’m assuming it’ll be on 696 but maybe it’s on local 11. we’ll see. Like I said, it’ll all work out……
No surprise here. At the first signs of Posey coming down to earth at the plate, Bonehead keeps the youngster outta the lineup, and keeps the human 3 x 3 In N Out Burger behind home plate. Posey supposedly stayed in Fresburg after ST to get catching reps. Now, since he’s been up, he’s played 1b almost exclusively, and what maybe 4 games catching? Somebody correct me, but’s it isn’t many. Typical Giants. Molina should be traded in a month or so, and surely is gone next year, yet he’s still getting almost all the catching reps when Dirrty isn’t pitching. Insane….
Bochy says Posey will play tomorrow and seems to infer that he’ll catch Sanchez… and that he’ll be catching more now.
“Bochy said Posey will play Wednesday.
”We’re trying to mix things up,” Bochy said. ”Buster’s going to be catching a little more now. He’s done well back there.””
I’ll believe it when I see it, catching “a little more now”. As for tonite’s game, I can’t find it anywhere on the tube as being scheduled for broadcast in the Bay Area. WTF?….
Normally I would agree with you on this Snarkk, it does APPEAR to be a classic Bochy benching of a young guy just cause he’s in a mini slump. And it’s not like he’s playing anyone *hot* our entire line up is sucking dick right now. But, the pitchers are the reason the Molina-dump hasn’t happened yet. They love throwing to him (as we know). And if our line up was hitting you wouldn’t notice Molina sucking dick as much. There are other no–hit catchers out there making a living and playing a role for their team (I don’t follow the details of what they do since they’re of no fantasy value to me. Jason Kendall? He can’t hit. There’s others)….molina will be gone it’s just going to take a little longer than we are used to……
It’s on NBC 22 on Mediacom, can’t tell you where else.
I can watch and listen to Scully, but I’d rather watch here…

Welll, there IS a really interesting mushroom picking segment on Channel 5’s “Eye on the Bay”. The mushroom guru has about as much energy as Bochy, and I’d take him over Boch if I get lost and hungry in the woods. He’s leading off with the Chanterrelles, batting the Crimini in the #2 hole, and Shitake is moving into form so is hitting #3 …
What the fuck…the game is not on Directv…bullshit motherfuckers!
With the exception of Posey for Molina, this is the LU we’ll most of the rest of the way. I think…
Thanks WSWn for the link. I don’t get this. The freekin Dodgers are in town and are NOT on regular Comcast or Ch 4? I’m blaming Baer just on general principles…
Here it’s on the same channel as the Friday night games.
It’s on Ch. 3 Snarkk. It just lists “Extra,” and “Access Hollywood.” Don’t ask why, but game is ON.
I’m thinkin Cain will not get his first win tonite. His high ball pitching and Dodger hitting just isn’t a good combo….
OK, got it on local NBC now. Thanks…
2-outs, 0-2 on Ethier and now this shit. Fuck these cocksuckers. I truly hope Manny’s hammy is torn. Fuck him and this crap.
Don’t walk Blake, hit the motherfucker. Why waste the extra pitches with that fuck?
The nibbling to Ethier started this cluster fuck inning. The shit that goes down against the Dodgers is unbelievable.
You have to seriously think Matty just might be cursed vs the assholes.
Damm 1-0 already 32 pitch inning for Cain! When the hell is the last time we’ve led a game early?
thanks wsw on the link..never these existed online…should have been here for Saturday’s Bum game…
BTW, if somehow I win this contest with 2 wins and 15 runs in the next two days, I am leaving for an overseas trip tomorrow, so Twin and Flav, dont fret if I am out of touch for the next 10 days…
33 pitch inning. If things go as they have lately, Ely will get by on about nine hacks.
I did not get the feed in time, but Cain fucking cant pussy foot these assholes nibling at the plate, fucking scorch them the rest of the way…
We need this run back by the Huffster.
At least Pablo hit the ball in the air, to the outfield, advancing a runner. Maybe the 3-hole award will restore the Panda in a week or two.
Way to get the run in Huff.Sure didn’t want to see a groundball if you know what i mean.
Well, it was a dual effort, give a little credit to the Panda as well.
Best thing about the inning was something i did not expect. Ely’s pitch count is virtually the same as Cain’s. Matt has the experience to turn it around and needs to do it now in the 2nd. Uribe’s been flailing a bunch lately. Game is tied so for the moment the advantage is to the home team.
Keep your shirts and shoes on boys and girls if you wanna get served.
Oh yeah, he went around. He hits that ball it’s outta the yard.
Top of the order, let’s get five. Shit let’s just get one.
Another Fat Panda DP Gem.
Wouldn’t be a real game if we didn’t hit into at least one. Son of a bitch.
DP – Fuck that, I’m so fucking sick of the DP.
Ground Hog Day! Waking up to another DP!
“Another Fat Panda DP Gem.”
Who the fuck are you? The “fat” bullshit is for the Splash, asshole.
Look liked Rent did’t want to swing the bat at all.Leaving it up to Cain.Questionable AB never swinging till it went 3-2.
