Great Win and Another Manny Quit Job…..
After impossibly giving up that lead our guys really showed me something yesterday– They didn’t waste much time either, did they? They steamrolled the bottom of the 7th and re-took the lead in like 2 minutes. Very professional win and a fun game to watch……
The Dodgers really got their money’s worth on that 50 mil they gave Manny, didn’t they? The first year he gets busted for steroids and loses 50 games. This year he happily picked up his player option and proceeded to incur about 12 calf injuries throughout the season. When I first heard he was White-Sox bound I actually thought it might help the Dodgers along the lines of when the Raiders ditched Jamarcus (No)Muscle. But with the McCourt’s divorce case starting TODAY I think that circus will be enough to bury the Dodgers who are pretty much buried as we speak……
We’ve got 31 games left. Is 18-13 doable? I’m not too worried about the WC or the division. Either is fine. And San Diego has to deal with a 10 game road trip in the middle of September just as their young pitching staff is maxing out on their innings pitched for the year. Plus we get ’em for the final 3 of the regular season. With Philly focus and marching toward their usual spot in the post season I think the division is still our best shot at making the post season this year…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Kruk loves Freddy. He beats off to freddy dropping to a knee and fielding a routine grounder.
Mvp talk of Gonzales neglects to mention his numbers on the road.
.267, 6 hrs, .697 ops.
Max. Wow I had no idea. I seem to remember he had shitty road numbers last yr, too. Jesus, what are his numbers at coors field? They must be insane.
Not only that Craig, he is the Triple Crown leader . . . umm, if you only count his home numbers.
Try .386 avg, .431 oba, .781 slg for a 1.212 ops. Humidor anyone?
Pat
Flav, No need for the grounder. He probably just thinks of Freddy dropping to his knees.
Potd, blade
Buster never looked like he had a prayer. Walk was his only hope.
Pat Burrell with SF : approx $300,000: 204 AB 12 HR 36 RBI
Manny: 25 Million: 196 AB 8 HR 40 RBI
“Not any of those pitches were that close.” The second pitch was a strike.
Giants were 0-4 vs. L.A. this year with Manny in the lineup, so good riddance to him.
He’s not going to pull another final month like he did when he first got to LA. Without his precious steroids he’s a good hitter but hardly a dominant one….
Now I’m confused . . . I thought he got popped because he was growing breasts????
Giants should adjust to this guy. Our team today is a lot different than the clubs he’s dominated in the past. even uribe’s double play ball was scalded
There’s also this sad reality…
Aaron Rowand (SF): $ 12,000,000 – 308 AB – 10/32/.237
Chris Denorfia (SD): $ 400,000 -221 AB – 9/35/.285
I’ve run down value vs. performance as per FanGraphs before. Giants fare quite well compared to recent years, they are getting their money’s worth as a team.
Dbacks are teeing off on LeBlanc. He’s gone after 3. Correia’s turn tomorrow.
Shit, DLR OWNS us in this yard. That’s like 24 IP with only 1 earned.
We need to sweep these bastards to have a successful (6-3) home stand. Gotta find a way…
well done, dennis. classic reverse hex got us the lead.
Why aren’t our guys sitting on his change? Seems to me that they’re going about this ass-backwards.
I know it’s mid-game, but step back for a second to appreciate that Sanchez reduced his ERA 3/4 of a run from 08-09, and from 09-today reduced it another 1/2 run per game. Long view doesn’t mean crap when you need the win, but they are probably very few examples to match that progress.
A classic location mistake.
Nice AB after that last one, good adjustment.
no chance huh…look like shit for the 0/2 then bang up the middle…
Solid 0-2 hitting by Posey for the RBI.
Way to take advantage of a 0-2 cripple. Let’s tack on a couple more…
He had no chance first AB, WSW. Factual post. He adjusted.
Huff looked it too 1st time…they both adjusted
Can’t ask for better results from the teams were chasing or leading (StLouis} tonight.Just get the job done on are in.Pads are definitely feeling the heat now as they start to reel in losses.
Posey was lost on those change ups in his first at bat. Ross hit the ball well, could have easily been a hit
It IS funny. If Guillen is out there, too, there’s like 5 triples alleys…
My support of Timmy for rios is starting to look like not the worst ever trade for us
Well, 4. Either line and both gaps. Poor Andres…
Flav…Ive been Lincy biggest critic the last 6 weeks…his last 5 the last time ween’t bad. they weren’t great…but not bad
I have absolutely nothing to support this ( which makes it the perfect sports blog post ) but it seems that the 6th inning is the biggie for the starters. Get past that with the lead and you’re into the beter relievers..
beter relievers. Somehow, that actually makes sense
All ya’ll is surreall
Fuck all ya’ll
Nice fucking bunt
C’mon mole boy!
Sorry about that, Noah. “Better”.
Kuroda is only 82 pitches into his no hitter going to 8th–totally doable (but I’m just on my ph he might have already lost it
Look…it’s the Rally Baby!
Good coaching, semi walking huff
Couldn’t ask for a “beter” 6th inning from Dirty. Ever try those egg beters?
No cholesterol and a great source of protein.
Funny (and merely being an asshole) if Rowand just did what Posey did, you, and you know who you are, would have been asking why Bichy, although you’d call him blockhead, had this individual bat at that certain moment
Top of the 7th. Giants are winning. I’m good
91 pitches after 7…
lost the no no
Take me out to the ballgame. take me out with the crowd……
Victorino broke up the no no
Buy me some peanuts or crackerjacks…With Sanchez pitching they will never come back….
Fuck, Juan needs to handle that.
Driving to Philly tomorrow; anyone need any hoagies? a cheese steak? Rocky IX? It’ll be about 107 degrees.
Listening on 1430 AM after losing the feed.
Dirrty pitching a good one.
Is Glenn Beck now pitching for La Russa?
Th-th-th-at’s all, folks.
I’ll take a provolone without from Pat’s.

thanks…did you know they had Marseilles vs. Bordeaux yesterday?
I can’t stand Jason “Um, What Did I Admit To?” Giambi.
His best effort of the year…hope it wakes up the other guys
Considering the circumstances, Dirty’s best outing ever. Say it now: do you give him until/if one guy gets on or give Willie the 9th?
he’s thrown 102 after 8
and k Cargo 2x
economical; under pressure
Dirty starts the 9th…
Jesus H. Christ it pisses me off to no end when Krukow says, “technically ties go to the runner.”
Unless he’s trying to be cute, he should be hit over the head with a sock full of soap. Moron.
Sanchez has now thrown 14 consecutive shutout innings against the Rocks.
Damm right Dirty has earned the right to pitch the 9th,he’s pitching a gem and the pen needs a rest! Go get em Dirty!!!!
BW threw a boatload yesterday, and Sanchez is still going good.
Belt came out of the mini-slump with 3 for 4, double, HR, 3 RBI.. and yeah, Stix, I could see Guzman as an extra RH bat off the bench, if there’s room.
Our “ace” of the week.
Got to get Fowker out,,,
Uhhh, Fowler . . .
Damn, really wanted to see him finish it.
Fuck…..
He’s running…..
I’d’ve kept Sanchez in.
Drama 101.
Shit, he had to walk the lead off guy. One fantastic and masterful effort nonetheless, close the door BW.
Ohhhhhhhhhh boy . . .
GOT to get this one in the books.
Drama, the Extra Credit Masters’ Class Post-Graduate Seminar
Wilson must be a little gassed. 93 is low for hum.
93 and 94 make me real fucking nervous.
Oh fuck
FUCK PISSX CODY MOTHERFUCKING ROSS!
OMFG
Fuckthat, Rosss totally blew that
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!?!
Fuck this shit! We lose this is, it’s motherfucking over.
Motherless son of a cocksucking bitch.
I was just typing: “Is it hyperbole to say the season hinges on this–” I AM TAKING THE FUCKIN GAS-FUCKIN-PIPE.
