A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

What is it with Colorado and DEVASTATING losses?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on August 31, 2010

I couldn’t catch the entire game last night, I bounced in the 7th. I woke up and did my “read the blog” thing to find out what happened. Ugh. That move has turned into bad luck for us, it always seems we suffer some type of excruciating loss when I do that…..

It was nice to read the Merc and see that several players stopped by Ross’ locker to offer support, it sounds like this was just a freak play that could have happened to anyone…….

Brian Wilson is your closer who is strong as an ox. He’s an all star. You bring him into that situation every single time. I’ve got no problem with that move whatsoever. Dirrrrty is always a pitch away from disaster anyway. Did anyone want to see him lose the game in the 9th? Exactly. The 9th inning is Wilson’s in a situation like that, period……..

The only good thing that ever comes from me missing games like this is that it doesn’t leave the same pain in my soul that watching it would have done…….

    I will absolutely take one after the way that started.

    Good eye by Pablo and then Uribe does as expected.

    Christ. Gonna be one of those nights?

  4. max808's avatar max808 said, on August 31, 2010 at 7:49 pm

    Think Uribe is tired .209 .575 ops in August.

    Is Guillen playing RF with his back to the wall?

  6. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:00 pm

    Well, playing deep is traditionally what slow and/or poor OFers do.

    • James's avatar James said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:13 pm

      Understood. Xoot may in fact not have been ruefully ironic last night. Guillen would not have had to move to catch Gomez’s fly ball.

      • James's avatar James said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm

        may in fact have been . . . .

    This telecast is extra annoying tonight. Amazing how many ways they’ve come up with to distract you from the game.

  8. wswinb4igo's avatar wswinb4igo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

    love the dp..

  9. xootsuit's avatar xootsuit said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm

    Nice break on that DP. But Bum’s pitching well. Guy looks like he can make it through Sept.

    btw, anybody else rooting against the WSox? (Well, anybody else except Twins fans?) I just don’t think I could stand to watch Manny, Andruw, JPierre and Pierzynski in the PS.

  10. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm

    Flat enough for ya?

  11. max808's avatar max808 said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:19 pm

    Az beating on SD and Correia 7-3

  12. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:19 pm

    Snakes up by 4 . . . bottom of the 5th . . .

  13. max808's avatar max808 said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    Big Country!

  14. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:26 pm

    Now that’s a wake up call!

  15. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:26 pm

    That was a nice piece of hitting by Bum.Ball was scolded and placed perfectly.

  16. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:27 pm

    Bum is gassed. Do these guys do any exercise?

    • willied's avatar willied said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:36 pm

      well, if he hit one like that in the minors he probably gets to trot around the bases.

  17. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:29 pm

    Bum hit over .360 in the minors I think. Sure demonstrated a nice swing there . . .

  18. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:35 pm

    They still need to get more pitches out of Mr.Rogers though.Bum is throwing alot more.Gonna ketch up with him unless he gets a quick inning are 2.

  19. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    Best throw in a month, great time.

  20. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    Sure is nice to have Johnny Buster Posey Bench behind the dish.What a rocket and that was all him,Bum did a lousy job holding the runner on.

  21. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:42 pm

    FRUCKIE!!!!

  22. wswinb4igo's avatar wswinb4igo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:44 pm

    bull dog performance by Bum…good job

  23. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:46 pm

    A gutty effort for sure. Looked like he had nothing to me.

  24. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:55 pm

    He got a little lucky and a little good.

  25. mrmrbill's avatar mrmrbill said, on August 31, 2010 at 8:59 pm

    what’s the betting line on Ubaldo vs Timmy tomorrow nite?

  26. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:02 pm

    A fistful of runs would be nice here . . .

  27. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:03 pm

    Nice , , . . .

  28. willied's avatar willied said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:06 pm

    Anyone think that was more than a little odd Tracy let the guy hit? He’s on the road and behind, 8 outs left….unless he thought the kid capable of a MadBum whack, I don’t see giving an out away.

    Now he’s run out of gas and has to come out anyway. Tracy just doesn’t impress me.

  29. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:06 pm

    We need a catcher’s interference here.

  30. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:07 pm

    Real nice hit and run play with Posey.Still i’m suprised the second basemen wasn’t covering on that play,it should be automatic on that.And it would have been a DP had he.Take the break though.

  31. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:07 pm

    Sorry but strike 3 was not close.

  32. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    Come on Panda, you got caught watching the paint dry.

  33. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    Joyce has a good rep but he’s been flipping a coin all night.

  34. snark's avatar snark said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:13 pm

    Blade, re: Kenji Shibuya and your earlier post. I remember that he passed on just a few months back. Unfortunate, but time does march on…

    • willied's avatar willied said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:18 pm

      He lived to be pretty old tho (into his 80s?) as I remember. I doubt any of the present day roid boys last that long.

  35. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:17 pm

    That could hurt. Strike 3 to Uribe was one he should hit 500 feet.I have no nails left.

  36. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Brutal 1st and 3rd no outs.Blown AB’s by Panda and Uribe. Giant’s baseball TORTUE!!!!!!!

  37. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Fuck. Thius team pisses me off so bad at times.

    Get this Fowker out . . .

  38. wswinb4igo's avatar wswinb4igo said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:19 pm

    he went down swinging at least…not like sandoval.

    Kenji Subuya RIP with his famous “sleeper hold.”

    Huffster!

  42. willied's avatar willied said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:20 pm

    Fowler’s been on base about 12 times less than last time we saw him. Nice stop by Huff!

    Yeah, I was just gonna say that, Max . . .

    • willied's avatar willied said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:28 pm

      dude, you guys hexed em before. Now it’s legit, unless they get a few more, lol

  45. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:22 pm

    Oh FUCK.

    The Rockies are my new least favorite team.

    We put 2 on with no outs, and this is what happens.

  46. snark's avatar snark said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    Affeldt just flat stinks now. Why was he throwing to a RH hitter?…

  47. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    Unbelievable-12th ball to *ever* go out of ATT to RF by a RHer..

  48. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    Not shocking to me Mora goes yard,after the Giants fucked up last inning.

  49. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:24 pm

    Shit, that was like the 12th rightie to hit one out to RF.

    Of course it had to be NOW.

  50. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:24 pm

    Last year’s Giants with this year’s Affeldt win about 77 games.

  51. Michael's avatar Michael said, on August 31, 2010 at 9:24 pm

    He threw the ball away as he should. It’s the Gomez Curse.
