Pheeeeewwwwww!
If you’ve never done it before, try this on games you can’t finish watching: wake up and just head straight for the blog, rewind the pages till about the time you checked out, and just read what happens through the words of you guys. The first thing that stuck out was the ‘418’ comments so I knew it wasn’t a simple ending. Anyway, while you don’t totally understand the details of what’s gone on you definitely figure out the outcome and feel a flavor of emotion that you aren’t going to get from Schulman or Baggs. Fun to do, I’ve done it several times…….
Have we finally reached a point where it makes logistical sense to go to a 6-man rotation through 3rd/SS/2nd/1st base? Renteria and Uribe are healthy, their version of it anyway, there’s no reason to play them every day. Sandoval and Franchez SUCK and there’s simply no time left to hope they play their way out of it day in and day out. Travis doesn’t and shouldn’t need to play every day. And now we’ve got Burriss, too. That’s a lot of flexibility……
I’m going to be on the road for the next week or so. I’ll keep new threads going and should see all the games but I won’t be around as frequently. I’m not going to be able to send out warning shots regarding blog etiquette, I’ll probably just quickly delete posts, or mini-threads, when it calls for it. Please just move on to a new topic if you start seeing posts or blocks of posts disappear…. 🙂
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Huff, absolutely. But I don’t think Andres has had the kind of career to really qualify as a comeback player.
You beat me. Huff? Yeah. Torres? Nothing to come back from
I guess you do have to have something to come back from so we’ll give Torres the most improved award then.
How about that Jet Blue guy? That is fucking comedy.
Yeah i mentioned that earlier today Gringo 4:56 post.
My bad, just logged in and didn’t catch the previous comments.
If Timmy can hold them now, they’re hitting Dempster pretty well. Nice dink from Travis.
I love the fact that he grabbed 2 beers before going down the emergency slide.
Tim’s now pitching from the stretch with nobody one. Whatever that new wind up of his, ain’t working.
Pulling the cord on the slide is prett epic. Grabbed 2 beers? I hadn’t heard that. Man, who hasn’t wanted to quit like that with a fuck you, fuck you and especially you!
Find it interesting Tim continues to pitch from the stretch with no one on.He must feel out of whack in the windup to keep doing that.
Maybe he’s preparing to pitch out of the pen in the PS.
wasted ab for Burrell due to the ump
Yeah maybe so Loo,everyone else is,Bumarner,Sanchez……
Let’s talk about the Nathan trade then.
haha, no kidding Twin. Dempster sure clubbed that one. He looked shocked to make contact.
Koy Hill is the kind of baseball card you get in every other pack. One year I had about 93 Harry Brights.
Someone yank him by the hair outta there.
When the opposing P gets around on an eye-high FB, luck or otherwise, it’s trouble.
As evidenced by those 2 RBI. Fuck.
Dumb cocksucker.Who you guys going to blame?
Timothy LeRoy Lincecum
Damm that was a killer.Tim just way to many mistakes.
Timmy may guarantee a world series victory after this one.
Can you believe….
It;s only the 4th inning
Shit i would rather see a Atlee Hammaker AB right now over Pablo’s
The whole diff between Panda last year and this is that he’s taking half swings at the bad pitches. Last year he attacked them.
Huh
“Anybody else notice that Burrell wanted no part of the walk off celebration? He was pissed that the guys were whackin’ him.”
Good for him. I like that. He’s thinking: “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I did my job and hit a sac fly. Why am I getting pummeled for it, like I just won the World Series with a walk-off homerun?”
4 IP from Tim after the pen had to go 5.1 last night. Thanks for nothing.
Huh.
Time for a lttle Def Leppard. Kruk and Kuip…sound off
Pour some sugar on Tim. Couldn’t hurt.
Or maybe Bringing on the Heartbreak.
Looks more like he’s not attacking pitches in the strike zone:

Edgar DL bound?
The breakdown of Renteria continues……3rd DL coming up?
Excellent, gentlemen
“Italian word for goodbye, 4 letters…………..B-A-N-G”
I can’t remember if I told this story here before….in one of Joe Garagiola’s books he talks about the first time the folks from his Italian neighborhood realized he was successful in baseball, and got very excited, and proud of him. An old Italian guy said to him: “You inna the newspaper, and you no killa nobody!”
Nice
What a bonehead play that was.Shit you know to re tag a base in little league.I just can’t believe how dumb major leaguers are sometime.
Not to quibble, but I think, by definition, ignorance is unintentional. The ignorant don’t know they’re ignorant. It explains a lot of things about Fox News.
Thank you Jack Handy.
I traveled back in time to say that. I have that ability apparently.
I just realized why Dirty popped off about beating the Padres, well, at least for his start anyways.
He’s pitching Friday night. It’s Orange Fucking Friday. Hell, I could beat the Friars in the orange unis.
The Dodgers showed some signs of life today. Hopefully they waited too long to do it.
Good pitches, bad pitches, either. All one has to do is watch to see that Pablo is not getting good swings. There’s been a lot of BS about pitchers adjusting, yada yada. That already happened last year. He’s missing the same shit he drove. Whether it’s his mental condition, being out of shape, whatever. He has not been able to clear the slate of the unneeded advice and get back to “see ball… “
Brandon Phillips called the St. Louis Cardinals a bunch of whiny little bitches. That’s pretty funny. Haven’t a lot of us felt that way about LaRussa at one point or another?
Not to beat a dead horse…Well maybe just the head,like the one in the Godfather.But Renteria is not gonna last the season.Prospects for Drew or Brignac at the deadline was the trade that needed to be made.
Why the fuck do you people keep talking about Brignac? He was not ever being traded here under any circumstances, the Rays are not the fucking Marlins and do not want prospects, nor do they weant pitching. They want hitters. MLB htters. Move on.
Brutal. 2nd and 3rd no out to no on two out.
We shouldn’t want Brignac as much as tue Rays don’t want to trade him. He fucking sucks.
”Bout time for Buster to hit his next homer…
The Rays wanted to trade some of *their* prospects for a MLB hitter. They are not a good trading partner. And Uribe can play SS, he’s fucking fine. That was hardly a traded they “needed” to make.
Danny Noonan!
thats a gift
Huge break. Colvin has to make that play.
“Colvin has to make that play.” I lifted that requirement, Kat.
Thanks, Michael, I would have lifted that, too. But I was asleep and counting on me mates.
Wow, Willie Burrell Mays . . .
They gave Buster a double on that ball? He really is Jesus Christ.
Fuck this. Are all these runs scoring with 2 outs?
The pen had been nearly perfect of late. That’s rough, but it’s still on Tim, even if he is a nice American boy.
why did he get the LH up and then not bring him in?…I went into the kiitchen figuring a pitching change.
There’s that fucking shirt again . . .
Come one Andres . . .
Fuck!!! They’re hitting balls all over the place.
Infidel!
Lopez had thrown, what, two pitches in the pen?
And geting caught . . .
You can’t make a switch every fucking time a LH comes up. Mota is no Roogy. If they lose it’s on Tim, the Freak, Lincecum, and Timmy.
A couple of years ago SF scored 9 runs in 3 outings, 3 IP off Marmol.
Damn. Gave it a good try there in the end, law of averages just catch up to ya playing from behind all night.
Loved Bochy answering Henry about going with Mota against Fontenot. He looked at him and smiled like Schulman was the dumbest fuck in the room. He pointed out that Trammell would have put Byrd up instead. Really, you’d think a beat writer would know that.
Not Henry’s best night. Here’s what he tweeted just prior to first pitch.
hankschulman
I predict a good night for Lincecum, this being his third outing with the new delivery.
about 4 hours ago via TweetDeck
Strike two.
Fontenot or Byrd is a total no brainer.
So it goes. Moving on. Lost a touch of ground but the pennant race is still on and who gives a shit about one loss.
Huh. Just changed channels.
Watching channel 3 news right now. Laurence Scott. The first openly gay sports caster I’ve ever seen in my life.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just.. never seen it before.
Strange night.
Goodnight gentlemen (question mark)
you live in the Bar Aria and haven’t seen a gay sports caster? Strikingly odd 🙂
I really wish wordpress had a ‘back to top’ link here
