A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

1973? And leave the park the way it is……

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on August 25, 2010

After that pathetic, team-wide, lay down on Sun these last 2 games have been awesome.  I was stunned to read that this is the first back-to-back double digit runs scored at home since 1973.  That’s crazy. Of course it’s hard to get to 10 runs in a baseball game but is it 37 years hard to get their consecutively? The Yankees probably do that at least a couple of times a year…..

Did anyone catch Barbieri crying about moving the fences in yesterday? His argument is that good hitters don’t want to come here because of the dimensions. I don’t think for a second that the Giants would consider altering this perfect park so I’m not worried about Barbieri’s rant. There isn’t a reason in the world to move the fences in. In fact, I would argue that a triple into the alleyway is MORE exciting than a homerun– will the guy get to third? How many runs score? And then the play at the plate! And so what if Huff has lost a few bombs at AT&T.  His home OPS this year is .906. Last year his home OPS was .784. I think he can live with the dimensions. And I was at that inside-the-park job he had earlier this year, it was one of the most exciting plays of the year…….

I’ve argued this point before. Sabean drafts backwards. He focuses on pitchers because that’s his thing and his results certainly can’t be questioned. But he would have no problem signing FA pitchers to pitcher here. Pitchers love ATT. He gets rebuffed by the big boppers, but if he DRAFTED hitters they would have to play here. And most hitters find out that ATT is NOT death to a bat. OPS’s and batting averages usually go up at ATT because of the big outfield, the fielders simply can’t cover the ground they can at other smaller parks…..

Ted Sillanpaa still sucks……

    Where the fuck was B-Wheezy on the backup? Jose’s throw was so offline, I think the runner still advances, but no excuse.

      He WAS back there. He played the carom. The throw was about 15′ up the line.

    Fontenot! Helluva a grab, right back at ’em with Huff with the scoop.
    Let’s win this thing in the B9. I can’t take this shit.

    My health has dictated this, as my friends here know .Fuck off, lowlife.

    • Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 25, 2010 at 4:11 pm

      I* have* retired as much as Favre. As the news changes, as it does often, I’ve had to make many changes in the last few years. But that’s irrelevant now, Jediot won’t be bothering anyone soon.

        you stick aroound, dude

        I can’t do it anymore, but back in the day when I ran my servers, I had software that could indeed get the IP addresses even from the SFGate blogs. It actually led, indirectly, for me getting busted on my WOW private gambling club. Long story, that part of it, but what’s relevant here: a regular here, not “Ed”,posts, or did then, from a correctional facility.

      • Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 25, 2010 at 6:14 pm

        In that vein, interestingly, Soph’s server was “CA, Walnut Creek, “SBC Internet Services”…

      • Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 25, 2010 at 6:20 pm

        While she claimed to be in Philly. Impossible.

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on August 25, 2010 at 6:56 pm

        I responded to your comment, but it’s up the page. This thread’s time stamp is screwed.

      • Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 25, 2010 at 7:07 pm

        I didn’t say they were the same. Just put up what her server was. I don’t know Yogi’s or BFE’s server. None of them are the one who posted from a correctional facilty, though. That is a person, not “Ed”, who posts here as recently as this afternoon.
        As far as your WOW comment, you’re fucking nuts. That was an online comepetition, guys made thousands of dollars, I got vigorish, in effect. A nice money maker for me.. it was in fact a “welsher” who got me busted. Busted in the sense that I had to shut it down.

    No shit . . .

    Weez played the carom on the throw, Dennis. It was so far offline there was no way he could have gotten to it.

    We’re all glued to an amazing game and you’re poring through past posts to find a gotcha on twin. I think that says it all.

    C’mon Pablo! Let’s end this one now!

    You’ll be taken care of very soon, Jediot. Get your bile in now.

  12. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 25, 2010 at 4:07 pm

    Enjoy, Jediot. because YOU won’t be.

    From Baggs:

    The Giants have scored 11 runs in 3 consecutive games for the 1st time since June 3-5, 1953 — vs. Reds and Cubs at Polo Grounds.

    Shit, I think TF was still knee-high in knickers.

      Don’t be so nelly. You slandered Torres and got some back. Chill out.

    I really, really wish we won it bottom of the 9th. At the very least, no matter what happens, this has the feel of victory. That’s not to be sentimental. It really sends a message: we will not give up. To us, and the opponents. But we all want a W. (It is a little difficult enduring the Reds announcers, isnt it?)

    Reading “Homer & Langley” by E.L. Doctorow. Like Langley, of the famed Collyer brothers, I tend to collect newspapers, tho’ not quite as obsessively. Will someone please save me a copy of tomorrow’s Chronicle?

      Sure, I can do that

    So if I’m connecting all the • • • • • • here correctly…BFE, Soph and Yogi are all the same person who still post here under “??? Name” and once did so from a correctional facility?

    World of Warcraft private gambling club? I thought I needed to get out more often.
