1973? And leave the park the way it is……
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……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
“Dennis, this Dingermania leaves when the heat wave leaves…” Except for J Sanchez, who gives ‘em up because he’s an incurable head case who makes location mistakes.
oops CO……. Thought they might be trying to make a late push…. don’t think its happenin for them this year….
Runt on a roll. Love the way he worked that AB too.
Great AB by the little guy, but he must tote a 45 lb. barbell in his shorts. Christ, he’s a sloth.
Franchez is pretty damn hot. Taking way better ABs than before…
Sanchez:
2008: 5.01 ERA
2009: 4.24
2010 3.67
I don’t know when this guy will ever improve…
amazing how as soon as it get said the opposite happens…..like the 4 and 5 are the 1 and 2….This PS stinks right now
when it rains…
its comical now..but not if Huff is hurt
Weird, weird inning. Damn.
Of course, it should still be 4-1.That should have been an EZ catch for Burrell.
Just another day in paradise… for barryforever
Yo TF, I thought you had the ear of the blog admins. How about pushing for a mercy flush for barryforever? Spamming the boards and driving traffic away from the blog can’t be something the chron is in favor of.
If that fails, a little run on his dodger board might be in order.
Funny, I’ve often mused about going on a Dodger blog and pulling a barryforever but…I just can’t get myself to do it. It’s not in my psyche
Ted, would your handle be Mannyforever?
Not bad, bozo. But I’d feel hypocritical if I did what he does. mannyforever’s good, though.
Is this blbbawbag? Just leave that place for here already. Everybody but Jed would be happy if you contributed here. Screw the Splash. The few that remain there deserve for it to be the turd that it’s become.
Also, how do you know where his Dodger board is?
Someone (twista maybe?) did a little detective work and found him posting as “WBB” over on the ESPN LA Dodger blog.
Couple of Bummer innings today.
Barry seems to have his own connections at SFGate. Often all anti-BFE posts are deleted. Or I also suspect that there might be a magic keyword to get someone’s post deleted. Used to be all Spanish language posts could be deleted. Probably “just in case” there was a hidden F-Bomb.
Either that or BFE “reports abuse” on everyone
I’m pretty sure that if multiple people complain, posts are deleted without review. One time, I put out the call that we should all report Barry’s posts and for a day, every single one of them was removed, and quickly. I’m guessing he just complains with his half-dozen screen names and gets posts removed easily that way.
Uhm…yeah
We’re number one! Moving along … even if the stinker holds, it’s great to win a series again. Probably the roughest part of the schedule and SF wasn’t swept. Pretty sure no sweeps since June.
Better record than last year on Aug. 25. Another comparison . . .
2009: shutout opp. 18 times (20% of wins), was ShO 10 times (13% of losses).
2010: ShO opp. 11 times (15%), was ShO 11 times (20%).
Glad I stayed home.
“This PS stinks right now”
Cain is their best starter now, but they don’t have a legit stopper/ACE at this point in the season. Similar with the setup role all yr. A handful of guys, none of them consistently setting themselves apart.
Come back when/if you have something relevant to anything, JedFuckiot.
“This PS stinks right now” Right now, meaning today? Entering the game, the Giants were on pace to give up 616 runs, or 5 more than last year. If you adjust this year’s ERA to compensate for the percentage decrease in overall league ERA, the team’s 2010 ERA would be about .10 higher.
Again, one of the primary reasons the staff has performed pretty much on par with last year is J Sanchez’s pitching. After Madbum’s drubbing today, Dirty has the second best ERA of the starters.
Decap: why don’t you make another wager with JedWad to get him back to the Splash? He should love it there now.
Based on what teams expect from the 1,2,3,34,5 spots, the ratings for the Giants 5, in 1-5 order:
Lincecum: C-
Zito C
Cain B+
Sanchez B+
Bumgarner B
The 4th set is obviously “4”..
Honestly Jed… all bets aside… I give you free range to go back to the Splash….
I would bet form him to stay off of the flap and have to post over on the Splash that he lost another bet to me…. if only I was confident of him upholding his end of it….
Timmy’s pitched like a #34 starter. If that skinny hippie loses on Friday, I’ll buzz cut the fucker myself. Absolutely no excuses. Win or else.
To answer James from the previous page…Let’s say the PS stinks for the last few weeks, and they certainly are not inspiring confidence to go forward.
As far as Mike’s “grades” go…if they don’t make the PO…it’s a F
It sure as fuck won’t be on the 4 and 5 if they don’t.
it never is….
None of my damn business, but since I’ve been know to dabble in the art and science of wagering. What the hell was this bet that y’all keep recalling and accusing someone of welshing?
Decap, the deal with Jed is that he knows he’s a lying fuck. He’s trying to lie, distort, and manipulate. During the recent hitting and pitching slump, he only listed their runs scored, not given up. That’s intentional fuckwaditude. In many parts of the world, heads really do roll for less a sin.
Jedfuckwad said that the Giants wouldn’t win 80 last year. Maybe there was more to it, Decap will elaborate, I’m sure.
In the category of nobody really gives a shit: Matt Downs was claimed by the Astros today.
You think it’s hot here.
Dennis (I think you should know most of this) Last year before the season… Jed and TheKidd bitched and bitched about how awful the team was going to be… and how dumb we all were for believing they would be anything better than the 72-90 they were in 2008(even with multiple people showing reason for the optism/improvement). I said they would get 88 wins (right on I might add), and Jed said they wouldn’t make it to 80. I bet him that the Giants would win more than 80, and the loser would banish himself from the Splash….
Done with talking about that bet from here on out… If Jed wants a new one I am all ears.
Unfortunately, that was like driving a rat from the cellar into the bedroom.
The Kidd,it should be added, boyed up afterward. Jedfuck, not so much.
That is true…. Kidd did admit that he was wrong…. And pretty much apologized…
Swick, you are probably right on that front, but it would have been meant for the 2010 season since it was a season long bet…
The Rox just tied the Braves.
…and now ahead.
wow… we could use some of that…
Here’s a great example of a deliberate misquote by you, Jed.
—————–
On the top of the last page at 1:24 PM, you write:
Today’s thread invited discussion about Sabean’s drafts, adding “his results certainly can’t be questioned.”
—————–
Except that’s not the whole sentence that BF wrote. The whole sentence was “He focuses on pitchers because that’s his thing and his results certainly can’t be questioned.” Of course, that’s a MUCH different premise than “his results certainly can’t be questioned”
Of fucking course his position player drafts can be questioned. He’s been close to an abject failure at drafting position players (Posey notwithstanding). But he’s certainly made up for it with Lincecum, Matt Cain and Bumgarner. Every GM dreams of having a track record like his with pitching. Yeah, he hasn’t made the playoffs, but that’s where YOU digressed from BF’s initial topic, not me.
Since 2003, that is. He’s damn close to GM’ing this team into the playoffs this year.
In so far: Flavor ( need your pix), Blade, Swick, 3Bag, Sandog, Macdog, Zumie, Pawlie, Ted, Brian (IH1978). If i missed you. let me know. Deadline, 2 days.
Starting to rethink my run prediction based on global warming.
4 errors but the biggest one not scored an error: Burrell’s drop in the 3rd…
Making some noise here . . .
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO-REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-BAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
wow, so much for the strongest offensive team in the NL facing our new #1
2.2 innings for the MadBum?
Just joined the game. go Giants.
fuck, panda is cocked and ready to go befor the pitcher has gotten half way through his motion
whoo hooo u ribe
Fuck Yeah!!!
O ye baseball deities, please give us some of the water the Rockies are drinking today. For three home games, this still may be an SF record for combined runs score, both teams, o Elias Sports Bureau bureaucrats. I listed this game as a loss in figuring my picks for Twin’s contest, assuming it is just not likely you are going to sweep this sweet-hitting Reds team. Votto is some kind of hitter. And Rolen, too. Et al.
Nah, it couldn’t happen. But If does, Dusty will be shitting toothpicks for a week.
Work your negative mojo, dennis
scored, not score
and, reading some of the earlier comments
I love the way Ross has proved to be the bat we are missing. 29 runs in 2 games since he joined the team. Woo Hoo
And speaking of the Yankees they are now spending $125 million dollars for a zero games lead in their division, a WC shot, maybe.
i like what my friend said the other day: WC should go to the second place team with the least payroll. Hurumpff
these next 2 pitchers aren’t easy…
are you bunting here?
YUNGO!!!!!!
Give Dusty some more motherfucking toothpicks.
MVP for Andres . . . .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang, our bottom of the order can kick some ass.
Holy Shit!!!!!!
Damn, now I wish I hadn’t stayed home.
I better find a stream or feed. The ghost of Don Taussig may be stirring.
http://www.justin.tv/kostaz003#/w/341532496/2
thanks!; figured, would be my first try
AH!!!!
genius to use Wilson in the 8th; it was IMPERATIVE to hold the lead. This is something. Gotta find a way to get this game on.
Really, somebody better go get Dusty a goddamn shitload of toothpicks.
If they hang on, maybe greatest hitting series in the history of SF baseball. Like to see the numbers on that..
I knew I shoul’ve skipped work today.
Velez?
Are you fucking kidding me? Too bad I’m at work and not watching this game!
Great game going on, Jed. You seem to be missing it.
talk about savoring an inning
YEAH, BABY
Deep breath..deep breath..deep breath
Greatest comeback anyway . . .
Fucking incredible . . . ! ! ! !
So much for losing to the good teams . . .
The better they do, the more bitter JedFuck becomes. Pathetic troll scum.
pawlie
http://www.justin.tv/kostaz003#
it’s a bit laggy
Jed and the rest of the whinney bitches can move to fucking STL.
no troll survives today LOL
the reds announcers just asked: can you believe it?
YEAH BABY
PANDA?>?!!! No, dude.
Damn it, two more huge fuck ups in the field.
Somebody give the Panda a toothpick you now where. Motherless son of a fuck.
just give it away…brutal
PAWLIE, looks like you have something to watch. shit!
