A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Serious boneheaded shit there by Wilson.
He didn'[t have to give him anything . . .
No reason to throw Uggla a strike there.
They are doing to us what we did to the damn Dodgers last week.
They’ve pitched to his wheelhouse for 3 fuckig days.
Fucking Uggla has major big time Cojones.This guy has whack us around all 3 games under pressure.Get this guy now Sabean!!!!
This is the ohmygawd inning that was bound to hit Weezy sooner or later. Tell me we don’t need BP help ASAP.
Fuggla that is . . .
Don;t tell me to fucking slow down.
Shit AK, the book on Uggla is pitch him down. The Giants have been pitching him up for 3 days . . .
Must be the shoes.
Oh well, just get the fucker now . . .
Wilson isn’t why they need bullpen help. It gets to 3-1 on a guy who’s been killing you for three games, fucking put him on.
That 9th felt like being back at the doctors this morning. We end up blowing this, I’ll stick my own finger up my ass.
How in hell do you blow a 7 run 7th inning lead?
Anyone wanna bet they won’t be PHing for Wilson. Just great that Bochy did the double switch at the expense of Huff. He shouldda foreseen that Brian would have a blowout after all that Uggla business.
Thank goodness there’s a Torres in this world. Couldn’t we just clone him a few times?
Damn, thought Travis got that.
That was an amazing level of respect shown to a rookie catcher.
anyone else say more f-words than I did when this happened? 🙂
Great view of the bridge from your sofa.
I couldn’t. I was at work.
21 game hitting streaks do that Stix.But also think they just wanted to set up a force play.
wrong….if they wanted that, they would have w the LH Ishi…
Isn’t the Panda ’bout due to yak one?
Kat: No force play needed with two outs.
Hensley was an 8th round draft pick by some team from San Francisco.
No chance Rowand would of scored .Dead meat on that throw.
Who else?
Congrats ….Fuck Yea
T O R R E S ! ! !
Big sigh of relief
Flannery has to tell Nate to touch 2nd…what a putz he is.
Andres!!!!!!!!! I’ll fucking take it!!!!
I’m folding up the big tent fellers, talk atcha tomorrow.
Man…would’ve HATED to lose this game
Torres just averted the team’s biggest collapse of the year. Team MVP indeed. He’s the sparkplug.
Boo Ya. Hottest team in baseball. Watch out Padres.
Go Dog-ears!!!
Torres is the fucking man! MVP!
Giants baseball. Never a dull moment. I had to put the hex on Hensley, pointing out he was originally drafted by the Giants. Seemed to work this time.
Torres deserves some MVP votes at season’s end. Not all GIANTS are great, big, hulking honchos. Also kudos to Ray for a clean IP and he gets a deserved W. Only other pitcher worthy of respect tonight was Romo.
Just another ahahahaha… laugher.
this video went better. No idea WTF I’m talking about, just happy we won….
You can count on Andres. Good to see Rowand getting it started. That’s 6 hits in his last 3 games I think. Keep him in the lineup.
You showing off your pedicure?
Max: Rowand is earning his money at last. Hope he keeps it up. Maybe this infection caused by guys like Torres, Posey and Uribe has gotten to him too. Still waiting for Pablo to get it. How do you get a generously built man to revert to Panda form?
I know I bring this up every time it happens but it was also huge for Wilson to get his shit back together after giving up the lead. A lot of closers go on to give up the game. At least he kept the tie and gave them a shot to still win.
I can live with the blown saves when the team end up winning. Whiffing Helms was huge, but I still say they should have put Ugly on.
Sanchez had 4 groundouts, 7 Ks and TEN fly-outs. He was NOT keeping that ball down and away, just judging from those simple stats. I wonder if he doesn’t get dangled now. But tonight’s performance served as a reverse showcase. Clearly, he is dropping to #5 starter status, with Zito at #4, Bumgarner as #3, Cain two and Timmy hanging in there as the occasionally challenged ace.
Agreed, Twin. Wilson did not utterly collapse. Saw that a few times when Ron Davis was the closer for Minnesota. And he was due, maybe even overdue for a stinker. Maybe it was because of those cleats. lol. Like any good closer, though, he needs to let that water keep flowing under the bridge. Provided Madison goes his usual 7 w.o. much damage and these hitters keep on clocking the Fish pitchers, maybe BW gets tomorrow off. He needs it.
Fly balls are what you WANT here, Stix. He pitched well until the 7th and left with a 4 run lead. He MAY be a 5 here but he’s an EZ 3 almost anywhere else. Total BS, the flak this guy gets.
I don’t get pitching to Uggla. Was that stubborn macho bullshit becauise he went deep on him last night? Stupid with Eli Helms on deck.
As Uggla’s pop showed, and Andres’ fly, the ball was really flying out to LF today. I don’t blame Sanchez at all for throwing to contact. This was NOT a bad outing for him.
He had given up all of 3 hits entering the 7th. He needed to go 1 more inning. He didn’t.
correction 4 hits..
Total BS, Twin? The guy is a gas can waiting to explode. If the Giants get to the playoffs and need a big win, he’s the last starter I want on the hill. And yes, that includes Zits.
Just for the heck of it and for the record, even if Schierholtz didn’t touch second, I think the run scores. It would be the second out, and Torres would lose his hit. The play would be a force out of some kind. Maybe the official ruling would be batter running out of the baseline.
Also, after Schierholtz rounds second, if Torres had touched second, I think he gets credit for the ground rule double. But how can you get to second when you’re being mauled by your teammates? It cost Torres a double, but what the heck. No one really cares. The Giants won!!
I’m sure OSF can explain the rule to you.
Of course it’s fucking BS. He’s the 4 (or 5 if you prefer. ) Which might make him the best 5 in the History of the World.

The Kansas City Royals acquired catcher Lucas May and right-handed pitcher Elisaul Pimentel.
ROYALS ACQUIRE CATCHER LUCAS MAY AND PITCHER ELISAUL PIMENTEL FROM DODGERS FOR OUTFIELDER SCOTT PODSEDNIK
The Kansas City Royals acquired catcher Lucas May and right-handed pitcher Elisaul Pimentel from the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder Scott Podsednik on Wednesday. The 25-year old May was hitting .296 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 47 runs scored in 73 games for Triple-A Albuquerque. Pimentel, 22, is currently 9-3 with a 3.49 ERA for Great Lakes in the Class A Midwest League. He has allowed just 71 hits in 90.1 innings, walking 35 and striking out 97.
Kuip pick chris Ray as the potg? With uribe still on the board? That’s just a “look at me” pick…
When judging starting pitcher performances, the most basic thing I tend to go with first, and the oldest cliche, but valid- did that starter give your team a chance to win that day? The answer is yes for J. Sanchez today. It’s a lot different giving up the 5 runs after you have a big lead than giving up 5 runs in the first two innings and putting your team in a deep hole.
Flavor, funny vids. You sound like me watch a G’s game, waiting for the whole thing to blow up. What compelled you to tape yourself?
His Texas-sized ego?
you were *occupied* last Winter. I did a couple of these in the off season and the guys liked them. If you would have taken a video from Rikers Island we all would have liked to see that, too…..
LQTM, mother fucker . . .
Flav, thanx for the vid since I had to miss it. Thank god we didn’t finish toes up.
Sanchez had a 9-2 fucking lead. Give his team a chance? He’d better give them a chance with a 7 run lead in the seventh inning!! It should have been an easy win.
You miss my point. It’s easier to get those 9 runs if you’re not digging your way out of a hole.
Twin has mentioned this before. When you’re in you’re 20’s and you’re a broadcaster you’ve got no stories to tell. So flemming finally gets his shot to tell a story (from the hof induction ceremony) and he fiddles around with it then just blurts it out. Dude needs to work on his story telling skills
In other words, J. Sanchez was a big part of the reason it WAS a 7 run lead late in the game.
He did what he’s supposed to do with a fucking 7 run lead. So what if he isn’t in the playoff rotation? If he was supposed to be our ace, it’s one thing. HE’S THE FUCKING 4!
That is out of control fucking bullshit, John.
Sanchez pitched the way a guy with a huge lead is supposed to pitch. He did fine…
I went with the videos (and those are the only two I shot) cause I said I would do some vlogs last winter and I never did..
If the Giants needed a 4th starter in the playoffs, it would be Bumgarner anyway, I’m sure. But first things first, let’s get to the playoffs!
7-6 3.55 ERA. There are teams would take that from their TWO starter.
Sorry, Mike, the guy frustrates the hell out of me. He’s a four? Fine. It still sucks when the guy turns a laugher into a nail biter. Like I said, he’s Shawn Estes part deux. Just my opinion.
I’m off Dirty. I’m glad the Giants had the guts to hang tough and win this one. That’s a good characteristic to have down the stretch.
4 run lead with nobody on is no motherfucking nail biter.
I’m curious how the Dodgers will use the new guy, once Manny gets back. If he cuts into Manny’s playing time big-time will Manny pout and go into a total funk?
Who has any nails left after a Cain outing the day before?
Throw in a dollop of Bautista and you have a nailbiter. I’M OFF SANCHEZ. Dodgers up 1-0.
Yes, Loo, maybe I can. If Schierhope doesn’t touch 2nd and they call for the ball he is out. That makes 2 outs. If Torres touches 1st and the run scores the game is over. Giants win. You can be sure that the Fish would still be bitching if that was not the correct call.
But if EVERYBODY kept running would Torres get a ground rule double (2 RBIs), and would the second (meaningless) run count?
once the winning run scores, game over..you cant score an extra run unless it was a home run….
the only thing that has to happen is for Torres to touch first to avoid a force out. With only one out, they would have had to force Schierholtz at second as well. But with ground-rule double, the ball is out of play. The Marlins cant retrieve a ball out of play to create a force at second or first…
What are the odds of Dontrelle Willis starting a game for SF this season?
I’d take 6-1.
I would not trade JSanchez! Reading the trade rumors, they allege the Giants are still heavily in on Dunn. Dunn would require a starting pitcher. JSanchez would be the trade bait. For a potential rental player in Dunn, I would not trade JSanchez!
Would likely take J. Sanchez and maybe Ishikawa or Burriss to get Dunn. I vote no…
Let’s all please remember that this was not a fucking nail biting at any point when Dirrrrrty was in the game. It was a laugher. Horseface and B-Wheeezy fucked this game up……
It would be idiotic to trade for Dunn. For what? 10 bombs the rest of the season then he bails for another 2 year, 20 million dollar deal? Fuck that.
totally agree Flav…I knew the spin that the Giants was in on Cantu was total BS. Sabean is trying to get someone like the Rockies to bite on Cantu, whom I view as farily worthless for us. Sabena may be yanking some chains on Dunn as well.
I would love to be a GM for a day so that when a team like the Mariners calls me and offers Lopes and Aardsma for Panda, I would just start uncontrollably laughing in the phone for 10 minutes until the guy hung up on me…
Sabean would have to be drunk to trade Panda for Aardsma and Lopez.
He should throw in Sanchez.
Just not the wrong one, as James would say.
