Dirrrrrty’s Mouth and Welcome Back Manny Burriss…..
This will be unpopular, but I like Jonathan Sanchez’ bold words after yesterday’s game: “We’re going to play SD and we’re going to beat them 3 times. If we get to first place, we’re not looking back. We are definitely going to make the playoffs”…..Hell yes, say it again, louder this time! And to make this bold claim even more impressive, Dirrrty had the balls to say this on the heels of the team looking so awful in Atlanta. I’m surprising this wake up call came from him, he’s not exactly a visible team leader. But I’m glad he said it. The Giants needs a reminder that this is August and they are in a pennant race. Freddy Sanchez doesn’t know what the hell is going on right now, he’s usually booking his Winter vacation around this time. The team has to play the rest of the season with a belief that they aren’t just good enough but that they WILL BE WINNING this thing. No other mental approach makes sense. Forgot all that “locker room pin up shit”– The Padres have been kicking our ass all year, I LOVE IT that they are now hearing an attitude from us— kinda reminds me of Rocky in Rocky 3 during the 2nd fight with Clubber Lang: “Ain’t so bad! Ain’t so bad! Ain’t so bad!!!!”…. Pin those comments up on every locker in SD for all I care…….
Manny Burriss getting recalled today (according to Baggs). No big surprise, especially since it will likely be The Todd who gets bounced. I would be more excited about Burriss’ arrival if I felt confident that speed was still a major part of his game but I think he isn’t going to be back to full physical and mental strength until next year. Either way, if his arrival sends Franchez to the bench a little more, I’m all for that……..
I didn’t make it POTD, though I should have. On the last thread, Zumie made a good point:

The thing that is the bad thing on any of these blogs is grating repetition. Soph, at the Splash, is horrible, but even more horrible because of the repetition. If someone has a criticism, make the criticism and then MOVE ON to other things, or come back to the old thing in a new creative way. This is why TF is so good at this stuff. I see people all the time talk about him never criticizing the Giants. Say what? The dude shares his criticisms of the Giants; he just doesn’t keep repeating the same criticism over and over. He moves on with the unfolding events.”
I’d like everyone to remember this. The Flap isn’t The Splash, thank God. Let’s not act like the posters still left in that tumbleweed town……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Yeah, Walton(Portland) vs Kareem back in the day, those games were epic. Nate Thurmond always gave him trouble.
Fuck, Zambrano’s throwing bp speed.
1975 to 1995 was a weird time for pitchers. I’ve got no idea who has the most wins in jerrys lifetime. But maybe they are going way, way Back
zambrano has been so fycking lucky tonight
We should be lighting this fuck up
Well, there you go . . .
leadoff double is a nice wakeup call indeed; we must score in this inning; must
One out, MadBum next, he does not have to expand. Wait for a good ‘un.
I’m right, they’re wrong. Spahn had 363 wins in Jerry Garcia’s lifetime. Carlton had 329.
Somebody call those motherfuckers.
Were any of those pitches strikes to Ishi?
Bllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Travis, flat fucking awful that AB. Terrible.SUCKED.
Fucking Ishi was retarded there. He been hanging around Shierholtz?
Wasted lead off Double for Burrell.Ishi’s got to put some wood on ball,not ball in catchers glove.
Loo I’m with you, just cause it’s you….
It’s infuriating that they are letting this dude off the hook. He’s still a nut, ranting around the “bump” on 2o hits of adderall. no command. Very little velocity. Shit, he got a gift tonight
Newell used to kick Wooden”s ass, and it wasn’t until he left Cal that UCLA won anything. His books are better too, all of them.
So the Braves, after playing the Giants so tough, lose 10-4 to Houston. Go figure.
As I said, he did not have to expand his zone there. Maybe one of those pitches was a strike. If two were out and/or a bad hitting pitcher next, it’s different. That was terrible.
I’ll call them LOO…Hey Kruk and Kuip you Motherfuckers don’t forget the legendary Warren Span…. Assholes. Maybe if you did’t have Walton stuck so far up your asses you could get the facts right.
E-bay’s gonna be flooded with Panda hats around Christmas time.
Anyone intrigued by this Carter cat the A’s brought up? He tore it up for the River Cats.
Zumie. The weather did us in in that atl series. They didn’t play that well we were dead on arrival. I stand by my claim, atl is an above average team, nothing more
“Tore it up” might be a tad strong, Z. We’ve had a few who had bigger years in the PCL and flopped here. But they like him. We’ll see.
Should be seeing the Cubbies pen here shortly. Best thing about their pen; no Johnny Venters.
Willied—didn’t Newell’s brother coach high school hoops in your neck of the woods for a long time?
his son, Pete Jr. over in Santa Cruz. Used to run a good camp for tall HS girls, too.
Carter didn’t tear up shit, i don’t have his numbers in front of me but he was “bomb or nothing”. His average was around .240 for most of the season. He’s got power but I don’t think he’s ready for MLB pitching…….
Now, I DID pick him up on a flier in the free flap fanatasy baseball league but that’s all that is, a flier……
What’s all the fuss about Chris Carter? He’s not gonna make another X-Files movie.
Believe me, after that last one, the truth is no longer out there.
GROUND RULE………………
double
There’s a drive to left!
THAT is the swing he has to start making.
Looked catchable to me.
Mike had to like that drive
And i have one funny Jerry story before I bounce tonight, I have a lot of shit to do before I leave tomorrow.
My dad was a struggling dentist in the 60’s fresh out of dental school. He took a lot of party punks who busted up their mouths during dumb drunken nights. Garcia had broken a tooth boozing and somehow found my dad a few days later. He fixed him up, I think the bill was like $200 and my dad spent over a year sending out bills to that fucker and he never paid him……..
Jerry Garcia Night…Not to me…….:)
Alright Buster! Finally break through,damm should of been 2 runs if it di’nt go in the stands.
i just saw carter look like aaron rowand on a slider away , strike 3 !
Freebie!
The real Cubs finally show up.
A break!
Truckin’
Got my chips cashed in…
Flav has Jerry Garcia issues.
Warranted, in a kinda…way
But….
non payment of a bill by Gracia? Them’s bragging rights!
These are the breaks,
Break it up break it up break it uuuuuuuuuuuuup!
Your right Ted. Like Chuck Zito breaking my nose, and then resetting it himself.
Last hitter for Bum. Come on man get the offense back out there to pick you up.
Anyone doubt that Bum can get a little hot under the collar?
Unreal. Worst fucking luck tonight.
Some clods will get on Rent but the run was scoring-that is all on Posey/Bumgarner for giving the guy ANYTHING on 0-2. .
Twin it was just a slow ground ball that found a hole. Any pitcher/coach/catcher would take their chances on a ball like that. It just found a hole, those are the breaks
Made worse by the G’s inability to deliver the knockout blow in the previous inning.
great point max . typicall
0-2 he shouldn’t get a pitch he can put a bat on.
The pitch was actually off the plate outside.He just stuck the bat out and got lucky.Shit happens.I don’t blame anyone on that play just a fluke it found a hole.
I want you to go look at that pitch again, the hitter was off balance leaning to hit that. It was a fine pitch hr just got beat by a bad luck location. Go watch that pitch again in slo mo and get back to me
I’m of the school that any hit on an 0-2 count is a total mistake.
And with a runner at third, Bum was probably concerned about throwing one in the dirt and having it skirt away.
How are we supposed to watch the pitch again? Are you guys recording these games as you watch them?
Yungo delivers
And when I say bad luck location I mean where the ball ended up gojng. The pitch was way off the plate and the hitter leaned almost one armed. To hit it. Go watch it again. Plus, not one person said shit about renteria you were just trying to invent discourse with that post….
Nice job torres
Adderboy!!!!!!!!
Clutch hit!!
Torres! We needed that clutch hit.
C’mon Rent!
Andre-say-hey-es Torrid!
DVRs I guess, Zumie…
Pitcher *has* to have the confidence to bounce it. That’s basic and has been covered by Kruk maybe a hundred times. I mentioned Rent to stave off the inevitable. Probbably 6 fucks here stopped typing as they saw my post.
so every time it’s o-2 you have to bounce it? Ridiculous. The pitch he threw was a fine 0-2 pitch, it was just bad luck that it found a hole……
Torres is fun to watch when he’s in a groove. It’s like Willie tore a page out of his book and said, Do this. But keep the cap on. That’s my trademark.
Why though? Do we care THAT much? I mean, I care- but I guess not THAT much.
well, as usual you’re wrong, it was an almost unhittable pitch. And stop calling me flavorfuck, I don’t find it as endearing as some of your other whipping boys……
Right. Seats are 12 bucks but 32 bucks after shipping, handling, transaction, fondling, smearing, and wiping fees.
NICE SLIDER!
NICE CHANGEUP!
NICE….
Who am I kidding. If it’s not a fastball, I have no fucking idea what it is
MPH usually tell the story. Spin/Break are also part of it. If you pay attention to it you’ll start to pick it up.
Thank you Cal. Not sure I’m smart enough for that but I appreciate your effort to educate me
by the way, I took the ban off Pickled Gringo– he made a good enough case to give him once last shot; Zumie your post is now the guideline for him…….
No good intention goes…
It’s the Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown drop-ball.
Was that Patty Hearst sitting with Walton?
Move along, son. As I said, there is a school that does not abide by 0-2 hits, lucky or not. You bounce that motherfucker or buzz him, or go up. Bad pitch. period.
This is so stupid it is unbelievable. So a painted fastball on the outside corner at the knees that freezes the batter is a bad pitch? Fucking moronic.
It’s not even worth still debating he obviously didn’t watch the replay
Mota … 4 outs, 12 pitches … tack sharp tonight!
Last couple weeks Huff has been 40 percent Huff, 60 percent BowWow.
terrible Huff AB
everybody dressed like it’s November 27 back east
Magnus, your family should sue the Garcia estate; or just steal one of those ugly Garcia ties
November 27th. That;s my birthday!!
JUUUuuuuustTTTTTT…foul
Nate
Great
