What is it with Colorado and DEVASTATING losses?
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…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
The game *should* be in the bag. But, and I know I’ll get disertation from twin, why bring in a .237 hitter with the bases loaded?
I don’t really give a shit. Just curious. Is it some kind of morale builder?
Just curious
who else from the R side…Eli?
Why not…whoever the fuck else was up?
ya..he shudda let Affeldt hit.
Doesn’t matter Ted. We won.
That was Rowand best swing in a looooong time,The bat flies farther then the ball he hits.
When he hits it, anyway.
Row Row Row your boat into DFA.
then he lets one go that was a better pitch than anything he swung at.
Who would you have hit there, Ted? All that was left is Whiteside and the LHer Fontenot. . that was not a questionable decision at all.
I’m lost, just started watching the game. Was there a need for a pinch hitter?
SHIT!!!! Nice toe work, Huff.
Rowand will get more comments than Torres with the go ahead HR-book it.
Not from me, chief. I was just curious
Really feel sad watching Rowand. You know it’s killing him.
Congrats…You could come out now Dennis.
Well, I had 7-2, but I also had this as a laugher…..
Wilson was having no drama tonight. Must be tired. 🙂
What was that, 8 pitches? BW wasn’t messin’ around tonite.
Beautiful!!! Cut the lead to 4 as the Pads keep squealing like a pig.
Dennis, come down from the ledge.
He’s okay. He’s just thirsty.
Wait a minute-where are the fucks who said Wilson was too tired to pitch LAST night?
Fuckin A, no drama in the top of the 9th! I can dig that. Nice win after last night’s disaster. Bum did a nice job keeping ’em in the game. Win tomorrow, and 2 of 3 sounds OK…
Wondering if Wilson does not pitch his best when he’s had a lot of work. Couple times he hadn’t been throwing in awhile, he was off his game, labored and provided major Sarah Bernhardt drama.
Gentlemen (?), apologize for the stupid question. I came in late
As for Rohand’s AB, whatever. He’s gone anyway in the off season. After the callups, he might as well be Murph’s assistant — doing that he’ll get more work handing out towels and sunflower seeds….
Give us a freak show tomorrow Timmy!
That was great by BW…It’s not easy to be ready and wait out a long bot 8..Great job.
Of all possible times for Timmy to get back on his game, tomorrow night against Ubaldo is it. Doesn’t matter if he hasn’t been shit in August. September game. 29 to go. Anything vaguely close to vintage Timmy and we ARE in this.
What I kept telling the doomer dipshits on the splash would happen is starting to happen, I think. The Padres are running into a tough schedule and are finally starting to swoon and the Giants can use this all-important win to gain momentum with their weak schedule this coming month. The division is still within reach and the wildcard is still right there. Timmy HAS to get his shit together tomorrow. What’s up with that guy?
There’s no such thing as easy games in september…
This is very true but we not only have a softer schedule but we also face SD several times….plenty of opportunities to avenge their dominance of us while they’re swooning and take back the division.
Huh. I just watched all the highlights
Motherfucker
Brilliant game
Nice
So oldsealfart just called me a jerk over there on the splash. Guess he’s pissed we won tonight. Poor guy.
OSF isn’t the sharpest tool in the drawer.
No, no. He’s a Giants’ fan. He’s not pissed “we” won tonight.
He simply thinks…the Giants lost
Wait and let him read the papers tomorrow
p..a..d..r..e..s..l..o..s..i..n..g
paw…drayze
starting to show…
Wonder if Tracy has seen enough of Posey to last him a while? Bochy out managed him again, imo; using all those guys in the 7th he wound up leaving Beimel (strictly a loogy) in to face the RH guys, walked Bochy’s PH Ross, then left one up and out over the plate to Posey, right where he likes it.
I think they need to go at least 18-11 in September. Suggestion:
COL 2-2
LAD 4-2
ARI 4-2
SDP 4-3
CHI 2-1
MIL 2-1
The whole league sucks. Gotta take advantage now. I think the Rays win it all.
How bout a three-tined POTG: Bumgarner, Torres, Posey. All three came up huge and Wilson gets an honorable mention.
Stix…What about Rowand? The bat toss was quite impressive.
Nope, you can have a co-place with MadBum and Buster. POTG is Torres period. After the tying HR by Mora I absolutely guarantee everyone thought they’d lose. *I* did and if I did, you all did. It’s Andres. A top 5 hit of the year and he probably he has 2 or 3 of the others.
Bum’s POTG. He kept them in the game. Posey close second. But he’s often going to be POTG or close to it. (Notice he’s using a new technique to set his target? Nice of the coaching staff to work on that with him.) But Bum used all of his pitches, battled through lack of control, and never lost composure. He’s a horse. And the horse came through tonight.
Wilson is back to tied for the lead in saves with his 37th. That and his All-Star status makes him one of the game’s elite closers, despite that weird ending last night.
Bum,Posey, THEN Torres? Wow. I guess Gomez has to go for the cycle and pitch a no hitter.
OK, will you guys let me make Torres the Gomez of the game?
It’s kinda nice when we can have a sweet little debate on three prime candidates for POTG. Hope we get many more of those choices now that its September here in Minnesota. I’ll hit 66 with the LaBumbos in SF. Would be quite satisfied with a sweep for my lil present.
Torres’ HR was exciting, but only because of Bum’s work to that point. Posey helped, earlier, with his perfect throw to 2B (and his 2 rbis finished the game off for the Giants). FSanchez would be as deserving as Torres for POTG, if you were being objective. But no. Torres Torres Torres! Great. Get a good night’s sleep. Opportunities to dis Lincecum await.
How about tomorrow’s lineup? We all love doing this so allow me to be the first (with apologies to twinfan/Michael/snarkk)

Ted, will Kruk Gomez and Kuip Gomez be announcing that game?
Goodnight, gentlemen (question mark)
Good and bad news for Room B:
Juan Gomez may get a blow..
but Edgar Gomez would get the start
Anyone going to bet any cash on the Gmen tomorrow? Game of the year as far as I’m concerned. This team needs a win from the ace. Period.
As long as Pedro Gomez isn’t “reporting live.”
I’ve seen a lot of interviews with Torres and the guy can knock out a cliche with any white dude in the game. Sorry, I know i’m gonna get some argument on this but mano a mano in the interview room, Andres is the MAN!
Oops! Got caught up in the post-game show.
Woo-Hoo!!!!!!
That Ford was one souped-up T-Bird!
