Today is the Last Day of the Blog….

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on July 30, 2010

At least, it’s the last day for the blog the way it’s presently constructed. I’m looking at the following options and will pick one shortly:

1) throw a shitload of words into the moderator cue. That’s going to limit what we can all post here but it will solve a lot of problems too.

2) have all the comments come to me first for moderation. I do not want this to be the choice, believe me. But I’m considering it.

3) Turn it into a private blog— only users that I allow can post here. Instead of having to ban people I just set it up as private and invite people to be members. Obviously, there are 30-40 hardcore nuts here who would want to keep this place going.

4) disband the blog

5) give it to a specific person. I haven’t talked to him about this yet so I don’t know if he would do it but I think he’d be the perfect person to run the blog….

Simply put, I am tired of this place. It’s not enjoyable for me anymore. I’m tired of all the insults. I’m tired of all the accusations of who’s posting as who or under what veiled handle. I’m tired of all the emails that complain about certain posters or my daily topics. I’m tired of coming up with daily topics every day, or find unique pictures for POTG. You guys might not know it but it takes a fair amount of time to keep this place current, fresh and interesting. I’m tired of going through each thread figuring out who needs to get zapped and who doesn’t–especially on days we win, you would think those would be happy days for Giants fans. I used to have a passion for this but I’m just…tired of all of it…..

I still have great passion for one thing, and that’s being a Giants fan. I think I need to go back to that being the priority instead of managing this place……

Not that it will be the deciding factor, but I might throw a poll up to see which of those 5 options you guys want me to pick…….

or is it still intact?
DaddyO said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:03 pm

It looks like Colorado is trying to make a statement tonight.
DaddyO said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:05 pm

Meanwhile, the Padres are playing catchup.
PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:05 pm

Shouldn’t there be an MLB or ecclesiastical law that anyone named Monasterios should a) be on the Padres and b) be a eunuch or celibate, or both and c) wear a chasuble while pitching? Just saying.

  Chausable? I just had a flashback of my days as an altar boy at St. Jerome.
  My therapist will bill you the extra hours.

    See how upset you got me. I couldn’t even spell it correctly.

“It looks like Colorado is trying to make a statement tonight.”
Yeah, “4th place is OURS!”
- DaddyO said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:25 pm
  
  Ha ha. No, “We are better than the Doyers!”
bigflavor said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:06 pm

I know Timmy has a lot of pitches tonight but I think he’s pitched awesome. He’s almost been dominating, despite the high pitch count…….
DaddyO—- The blog is staying for now. I have one or two things I’m changing. And the changes are non-negotiable so deal with it. I’ll detail it tomorrow. I have a shit load of stuff to do before 10am when I catch the train to the game and i want to put forth a thoughtful post so I might not get to it before I leave. We’ll see…..
I have seats on the rail in section 102 tomorrow. I know Phil Nastu, his son and 7 other dudes are in section 104. I will try to get Phil to snap a photo with me but I’m not buying all those dudes 2 rounds as his son requested earlier today……

  Thanks for the faith, Flav.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:07 pm

MOREPORN! MOREPORN! MOREPORN!MOREPORN!

BURRELL!!!!
- TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:08 pm
  
  Gotta remember that MOREPORN chant
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:07 pm

Nice Burrell pick up Uribe
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:07 pm

Pat the Bat
PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:08 pm

found the game, thanks, WSWetc.
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:09 pm

Ya Pablo…
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:09 pm

Way to pick up Uribe ,Pat huge RBI knock.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:09 pm

Dodgers. Whatta bunch of fags
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:09 pm

Panda
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:10 pm

Alright Panda that’s what we need to see more of.
bigflavor said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:10 pm

by the way, about once or twice a day, I get a couple of posts that get automatically moderated for no reason that I can think of. Pawlie just got kicked in there for a post that said “thanx”. CalSTIM got sent there a couple of days ago for writing “perfect game” over and over and over. I don’t know what that’s all about, I’ve only got one word censored here. So if you don’t see a post, it’s not that you’ve been flagged by me, probably, just try wording it in a different way……..
- TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:14 pm
  
  That explains the post I wrote that had “Bambi” in it that disappeared
- PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:16 pm
  
  let me guess that one word: either it’s “thanx,” as you just said or See You Next Tuesday, so to speak, acronymically, sort of.
DJLoo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:11 pm

Tim was hitting everything the other way in BP.
PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:14 pm

I kinda like the Orange jerseys. And, Dennis, we’re winning because Timmy’s hair is longer than Weaver’s. The longer hair facilitates aerodynamic wake domino effect (AWDE).
- TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:15 pm
  
  AWDE DAH, AWDE DAH
  That was from GONE WITH THE WIND, wasn’t it?
Cal_Stim25 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:14 pm

Stupid blog trying to ruin my jinx of Anibell Sanchez. Ha! I win!
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:16 pm

AH defense.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Love Huff. Granted, he has the look of a guy who would say:
“You gotta purty mouf”
But his defense is much better than was saged
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Love Miller’s call…Huff runs into a car headlight to make the catch.
PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:19 pm

Much clearer feed. Either because it’s NBC or atdhe.net
Michael said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:19 pm

Well, if LU bashing and dumb trade proposals were banned, you wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
- TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:24 pm
  
  Twue. Vewy twue
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:21 pm

THERE’S A SPIDER ON MY CARPET! THERE’S A BIG UGLY SPIDER ON MY CARPET!
Fuck LH or RH pitchers. You’re good or you isn’t
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:21 pm

Have we retired Furcal once this year? Bastard seems like he’s ALWAYS on base.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Fucking Lincecum!
Craig said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:25 pm

120 pitches. He’s had better lines but he pitched a fantastic game tonight……
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:28 pm

Battled early, but Tim hung tough and delivered the goods. Must be the hair. Good stuff Maynard.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:29 pm

If I was Brian Wilson, I’d go out there with a Sharpie and start blacking out those orange jerseys
- Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:36 pm
  
  I thought that was what Joe West was saying to Tim at the start of the game (I guess it was about Tim’s wrist band).
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:30 pm

AH
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:30 pm

huff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:31 pm

That’s 20 “tatters” for the Huffster. Not too shabby.
freshtodef80 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:31 pm

Huff Daddy!!
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:31 pm

Huff and Puff
Yeah baby
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:31 pm

HUFF the Best 3 Million dollar player in Baseball! Incredible
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:33 pm

H R Huff’n stuff!!!
Craig said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:34 pm

I’d love to hear what Billy beane has to say about torres, huff and uribe. I mean, he’s got coco crisp and sheets for 3 times the money but he’s gotta have an opinion, right??????
- Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:37 pm
  
  Nope. Just a movie.
IH1978 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:35 pm

Huff has made more use of our “short porch” than anyone since Barry
oldsealsfan said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:37 pm

BF,good. Do the right thing for you.

Daddy, no fucking way this is over now that I have forgiven BF.

It’s on!
- Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:39 pm
  
  OSf – Gin and Sprite or chocolate milk? I’m doing Myers and OJ.
Macdog said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:39 pm

The Fish wrap it up in SD.
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:40 pm

padres lose
bigflavor said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:40 pm

OSF, it’s long been a dream of mine to finally secure forgiveness from you…..
bigflavor said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:46 pm

and am I the only one who started to appreciate Wayne Grady’s innate talent today? Dude has skills…….
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:47 pm

Hey, I see that a “30 Minute” and “1 Day” penalty boxes have been added. I’m afraid to click it for fear of getting called for high-sticking, boarding or cross-checking. Looks like this place will have it’s own version of the “Broad Street Bullies,” or more likely the “Hanson Bros.” I bet half the people here don’t have half their teeth anyway.
Macdog said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:49 pm

Or Five for Fighting.
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:50 pm

OK Giants, put these fucks away.
Cal_Stim25 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:53 pm

Bochy should have doubled back to the mound. That would have been good.
bigflavor said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:53 pm

it’s part of the new rules, Denny. I’ll explain it all tomorrow. There’s going to be a new conduct code here…….
Cal_Stim25 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Can’t complain. Would have been hell of a catch.
Cal_Stim25 said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Sanchez in the pen. Nice
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Dirty coming outta the pen? WTF? We need another arm.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Worry not, laddies, worry not
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:56 pm

I don’t know Den, Dirty might just be that guy
Michael said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:57 pm

I was hardly Huff’s biggest supporter, I was skeptical until after April. Most astounding to me is his defense and EVERY observer said he was flat awful at every position…
Anyway, whaddya know, all the defensive replacements and Andres fucks up.
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Where the hell is Wilson? Did I miss the memo?
PawlieKokonuts said, on July 30, 2010 at 9:58 pm

‘game deleted by administrator due to copyright infringement’
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:00 pm

Jesus H. Christ. 0-2 to a walk. Fuck Bautista. Goddamn motherfucking POS. We damn well better not blow this shit.
Craig said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:00 pm

Anyone else as stoked as I am that this isn’t dontrelle Willis coming in right now????
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:01 pm

We still can’t retire that fuck Furcal. I’m about ready to blow a goddamn gasket.
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:02 pm

Let’s get Dirty.

GIANTS
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:02 pm

Yeah are Jack Taschner.
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:04 pm

Shit are trying to lose this game? Bochy is probably just pissed at Wilson over the shoes and decided to sit him.
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:04 pm

Sit down Andre.
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:05 pm

Struck him out
This might work
pickledgringo said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:06 pm

Another great Bochy decision. Bring in a SP who never relieves to face 2 batters. Genius.
Michael said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:06 pm

Starter getting pressed into relief is no EZ assignment. Wow. Need this one. It’s on Bengie, uh, Ray…
Craig said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:07 pm

Haha, of course he hit him. Weird inning is sustaining itself with it’s weirdness…
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:07 pm

Two on
Two out
Too cool
Trust me
Game over

  The old Deuces wild, Ted?
wswinb4igo said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:08 pm

No one knows why BW is in the dougout and not in the game…incredible
delmardennis said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:11 pm

I don’t believe this motherfucking shit. We lose this one and I goddamn guarantee I’ll be the first one thrown into the new penalty box.
alleykat said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:12 pm

Shit …Not the time to pitch like Rachael Ray!
Bozo said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:12 pm

Put these fuckers down NOW
TedSpe said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:12 pm

FUCK IT. oOPS.gAME OVER
ferrethead said, on July 30, 2010 at 10:12 pm

Holy crap!!! I mean – Whew-Hoo!!!
