A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Great Win

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on August 12, 2010

Of course I saw none of it up in the Idaho mountains but the last 50 or so posts from you guys told me it was a “great win”. I’m only changing the date on the POTG, obviously. We go up 3-0, then it’s tied 4-4, still we find a way to win. Gutty team performance to take back the lead and the win, that’s what playoff teams do….

I’m 110% behind the Fontenot pick up. I haven’t read what others have said about it yet, will try to later this morning. He was already taking time away from Theriot before he was traded to the Dodgers. I remember when those to came onto the scene, the Cubs felt like they had found their middle infield for the next 5 years. But, sometimes things don’t always work out as planned. Fontenot will be fine, I was actually a little surprised by how few SB’s he had but maybe I was thinking of Theriot. Regardless, we gave up NADA and now have a legit mlb option to plug into 3rd or 2nd and Bochy won’t feel hamstrung to have to play Pablo or Freddy all the time…..

    I’m following this game on the computer. Holy shit. The crowd must be going crazy. Pat the fucking Bat!

    HOLY SHIT

  13. 3bagger's avatar 3bagger said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:33 pm

    So good to see Pat succeed. He was my year in high school playing in the same conference. My high school didn’t have an outfield fence, so our guys just backed up about 400 feet for his ABs. It frustrated the shit out of him.

    I wanted him 2 years ago as a free agent. So glad we have him now.

    I thought he might be a RH Matt Stairs. 🙂

    OH MY GAWWD! From AL castoff to maybe even consideration for MVP ~ all in one short part of a season. Giants haven’t seen this kinda production since #25. For all his struggles early on, fate has finally awarded Cain with a decent lead, even if he rests for the rest of the game. Faaaaabulous. Pat the Bat has earned himself a prominent position in the team’s history book, just for his production over the past few games. And Sabes didn’t even have to trade off a starter to get him. Fantelastic.

    Just started watching on WGN. JUST IN TIME! Oh yeah. Plus, I am discovering my wife thinks Pat Burrell is hot. And to think I had a man crush on Buster. Go figure.

    Who names their kid Koyie?

    WTF was the Huffster thinking? That’s Rowand’s ball all the way. Lucky we avoided any disaster.

  19. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:44 pm

    Pat like Huff always give you quality AB’s now hoping that can rub off on Panda more.Today has helped.Wouldn’t it be cool if Panda raked for the Cycle today?Ah Hell let’s throw in a 3rd HR for Burrell while were at it.

  20. eddacker's avatar eddacker415 said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:47 pm

    kat: and Cain a CG

  21. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:47 pm

    Jesus, I think the new guy is even smaller than the little runt. How’s that possible?

    • 3bagger's avatar 3bagger said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:07 pm

      It was reported he’s listed at 5’8″, but actually shorter than Eckstein.

  22. eddacker's avatar eddacker415 said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:49 pm

    or not, damn those managers, I remember in the old days . . . .

  24. PawlieKokonuts's avatar PawlieKokonuts said, on August 12, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    what did I miss? WTF happened to Sweet Lou Piniella? I thought he was retiring at year’s end.

    • PawlieKokonuts's avatar PawlieKokonuts said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:01 pm

      good ol’ Google: Lou’s been taking time off to care for his mother, 90; set to return Friday.

  25. eddacker's avatar eddacker415 said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:01 pm

    i have always loved the WHMK statistic (should be negative) and Cain did that tonight.

  26. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:08 pm

    OK, now I can turn on the game. Read all these posts. Looks like Burrell hit a granny? AND another HR? Panda has a HR and a triple? I think the Giants are winning.

    Too funny reading this to find out WTF is going on.

    And it’s a goddamned commercial.

  27. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    Ahhhh, a splasher for panda . . . Welcome back

  30. ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:17 pm

    Yo Flappers. Great game…need to put this one in the bank, and strap it on for Dago.

    Is Burrell turning out to be THE pick-up (rhetorical question). THANK YOU Tampa Bay!

    And if Pablo can produce with some consistency along the lines of today, then we can begin to refer to him as the “Kung Fu Panda,” again.

    Fucking lead-off walk. NOT the way to “put the game in the bank.”

  31. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm

    Pittsburgh isn’t helping. They need to take ONE in SD.

  32. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm

    Gotta hand it to Bochy, the LOOGY gave away a free pass—out you go. No hesitation.
    He continues to handle the pen with aplomb.

  39. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:23 pm

    Jesus H. Fucking Christ. Bochy can put the relievers in the right spot, but he can’t pitch for ’em.

    Pen is showing the wear and tear it’s had to endure recently. Romo to the rescue. I hope.

    • 3bagger's avatar 3bagger said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:26 pm

      We need to be careful talking about the bullpen’s wear and tear. They might just go back to 13 pitchers.

  53. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:34 pm

    The pen has been overworked since Dirty’s last start. Extra inning’s w/ Bum, Tim’s shitty outing, etc…they’re pooped.

    he’s out of the game Chuck

    Got nervous when Bochy put Mota in there. Sure nuff. Shouldda at least given him the quick yank too. He’s been dragging lately.

  61. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    Well, shit. Saturday’s game is Bruce Bochy Bobblehead Day. That game’s in the bag. Couple that win with the Orange Friday mortal lock, and all we have to do is beat the fucking Friars on Sunday for the sweep. That’s a Timmy start. He better fucking win.

    Now, back to the matters at hand…we need to score.

  62. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:41 pm

    Shitholtz sure does do a great impression of a statue, that’s for sure.

    They pulled Burrell? Missed it.

    Love the high heat. . . . He needs to use that more . . .

  64. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:52 pm

    I’m sure Room B is bitching about pulling Pat. But the manager is kinda not supposed to be thinking about what might happen if his bullpen faceplants. It was the correct move, obviously.
    Nice to have Marshall out…

  65. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:53 pm

    Sure glad Wilson got Baker out he needed revenge off that guy..Remember last year the dude hit the Big HR off Wilson to pretty much end are playoff run.

  66. 3bagger's avatar 3bagger said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:54 pm

    It was the correct move, but it sucks we don’t have the bat still in there. With Rowand getting on, maybe it won’t even come to Pat’s turn in the order.

  67. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    Well, if it does they’ll have Andres, won’t they?

    • 3bagger's avatar 3bagger said, on August 12, 2010 at 3:59 pm
