Biggest Series of the Year
You can’t really understate the importance of the next 10 games for the Giants. San Diego is limping home but they are about to kick off a nice long homestand. If we stay around 2-3 games back for the next 10 days or so then we will POUNCE on the Padres when they fall apart on the 10 day road trip they have to stagger through starting on September 13th. September is their month to fall apart– their young arms are taxed and spent. But we don’t need to be 6 games back on the 13th, that could leave us with too much work to do……
So it all starts tonight against the *Done-gers*. I think they’ve got a team-wide check out going on right now. The owner-divorce is dominating the headlines, Matt Kemp can’t wait for his next date with Riannah, Fucal and Martin are in their rightful spot on the DL and Broxton is not fine despite what Torre will tell you. As long as we don’t get too tight I think we take 2 of 3 for sure this weekend……..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Well, there just wasn’t any way Zito could beat Billingsley tonight. The mythical baseball gods weren’t having any of that.
Really stupid defensive postioning by Uribe.And WTF was he covering 2nd on Kemp’s steal attempt?.That’s Sanchez job to cover 2nd.
Managers often switch the cover assignment if there’s a hitter who can go the other way. Giants benefitted just the other night: Buster singled to left on a hit and run, the SS was covering because Posey goes to RF so well…
You’re welcome, I’m always happy to school you guys on the game.
Maybe we can mount a rally against this zipperhead…
It’s got to be Ross in rightfield instead of Garko-guillen tomorrow.
Huff stluggle ratery vs. refties…
Last year we had OFers being ripped for dropping balls on tougher plays than that one.
Again, Zito threw 4 straight fastballs to Billingsley in his first AB and K’ed him. .
So- is Kruk going to tell us to tip our caps to Billingsley?
Regardless of the call, Zitty CAN’T hang a fucking pitch like that. Posey gets 0.5% of the blame. Zito’s a big boy. He can;t throw a curve low? Fuck him.
Zippy Chippy went 0 fer 100 in his racing career. I bet he was called some derogatory names.
Burrell wondering why prevent 2b hit defense with 2 run lead..incredible Blake is on the line there…
HANG? It was a fastball.
Bochy has had a quick hook with Zitfuck all year. It’s hardly new.
And Zitshit and Posey have had problems since last year when Zito couldn’t read the kid’s signs AT ALL. Tonight Rags had to come out and tell them to lay off the fast balls. They went on to get the big out on change ups, make Billingsley look horrible on changes and then throw him a fucking fastball. Bottom line: Bengie wouldn’t have LET him. If the BOY can’t control his staff , get a man for the job.
And stick Buster’s ass at first.
Funny how the previous 4 SP were lights out…
There once was a player named Huff
Who knew the size of his bat wasn’t enough
he once played the Bums
with a bat up his bum
And said…..We only scored fucking 2 runs this game! This is no way to win the division!! Fuck it! We have to fucking win the division!! Fuck the wild card!!
…..
And then he said… life is tough
Ahh…baseball.
No worries my friends. PS is ours. and..
p.s.
PS is ours
TWO MOTHERFUCKING HITS.
dennis, come in from the ledge
I’m not digging this Guillen dude.
TWO UNEARNED RUNS.
One more time, Zito threw 4 straight fastballs to Billingsley in his first AB and K’ed him.
Fine Mike you get Fat Ass Sandoval behind the plate in Zitfuck starts.Cause i sure don’t want to see Whitey.
You wanna see what all of you fucks thought Panda would do this year? Go back to the first couple months of the contest. Don’t give me this “my” shit. I was the first to call his great 2009 but all you fucks were on board this year..
I’d been thinking that Torres needs a day off here or there. Tonight Flemming says he’s struck out 13 times in last 28 ABs. I’m with Zum we’ve got to get Ross in for Guillen. He won’t do worse offensively and the team won’t be holding its breath on balls hit to right.
With nobody on. Huge motherfucking difference, pal.
I was listening on the radio. I heard about 15 seconds of the game. It just happened to be the worst part. Kuiper made it sound like he hung a curve.
Still, pitcher at bat, Zito can’t put him away? 99.5% Zito’s fault.
Fucking bubbles walks 3 guys and gives up a hit to the pitcher, and it’s Posey’s fault?
Please. You just want to piss everyone off, Mike.
Happens, dudes
Goodnight, gentlemen (?)
Zitoid starts are back in the mode where the team lays a turd game when he starts, because they know they’re effectively down 3 or 4 runs already when he takes the mound. Giants management needs to decide whether they want to baaically piss away 3 or 4 more games with him starting the rest of this month…
Bleah…
My thoughts exactly.
Goodnight, lady
Get it straight, Chucklefuck. I stated an opinion and *I* was attacked,. Fuck you. This alleged ” hatred” of Posey started when I noted that he hit the ball on the ground a lot. GiantHead went postal like I’d accused him of child molestation. The kid looks like he’ll be a fine hitter. His abilities behind the plate (yet) were why he wasn’t here to start the season. Don’t be fucking acting like I make this shit up.
This is difficult to…make sense with.
When Posey came on board, and with the additions of a couple of..not great..but..quality hitters, the Giants started making more runs.
But with the loss of Molina…look at August..the SPs started to..suck.Coincedence?
Maybe.
Let’s chat

ANY discussion of whether the performance of the pitchers might be related to the catching change is verboten here. And then we get this ridiculous shit where any GOOD game is shown as proof that Posey is fine behind the plate. That’s juvenile idiocy, no one suggesets that every pitcher will suck every time and it’s all on Posey. It’s a fair question whether the starters have suffered under Posey and it’s not even necessarily an indictment of Buster. It’s common sense that guys who had all pitched to Molina for at least a couple years each might not be as comfortable with a new catcher. And that was all that was brought up when his apologists made it a big fucking deal that Posey was being ATTACKED.
I don’t give a fuck if they had two hits, or one- the score should be 2-2. What happened on that cluster fuck pitch to Barbara should definitely be looked at. And the catcher who called or assented to the dumbest pitch call of the year is part of it.
My reaction to your post:

Whatever, Loo. You bring to mind the Seinfeld episode where George’s Mom finds out the Asian fortune teller isdn’t Asian. You’re a fucking Bronx guinea, ferchrissakes. Your bogus indignation is a hoot, Luigi..
Brooklyn guinea.
What is this, Moe Greene yelling at Michael?…
I don’t even remember Chad Zerbe…
I remember Anthony Zerbe,good Character actor. Star Trek,Gunsmoke,Streets of San Francisco,Big Valley…..maybe he can pitch for Zito,couldn’t be worse.
Kat was the one who freaked because Bochy pulled Zitfuck before he could blow a huge lead.
Wow – how the hell Posey has anything to do with how the pitch is being thrown is by me. And any pitcher needing a babysitter behind the plate to feel better better grow the fuck up real fast and cop a pair. That might be the worst excuse for a bad pitch I have ever heard. If you can’t get the pitcher out during a pennant race…..
Yeah Kat, I really DO remember Anthony Zerbe. Kind of a weird look. Maybe he’s got a better heater than Zitman…
Shut your tart hole, Gringo. The notion that the catcher now has no responsibilty for how the pitching staff performs is a brand new baseball rule invented here just for Buster. Now get your sorry ass back in your room.
Gringo and this Berger creature back to back? Dennis: do something useful and install that keylogger on their PCs. I’ll split anything we find in their bank accounts.
Zito’s last road win was May 5 in Florida. Guess who was catching. Now 32-34 on the road. Same old shit there. Couple that with our 23-28 numbers within the division, and “it is what it is.” God I hate that saying.
Projections currently give us a 30% chance of making the playoffs. When you hear there’s a 30% chance of showers, do you take an umbrella?
And the Asian woman was actually Chinese. The episode was entitled “The Chinese Woman.” Donna Chang was her name. Who the fuck listens to a Chinese woman anyway? And those fortune cookies are really fraudulent now. Putting “lucky” numbers on the back. They’re in cahoots with the Lottery if ya ask me. But in the end, mission accomplished. Old P.T. was right, “there’s a sucker born every minute.” I think he forgot to add that there’s a good chance he’s a Giants fan as well.
“And the Asian woman was actually Chinese.” Unintentionally funny shit, Dennis. I think a lot of you guys are “Yahoo Answers” level…
Let me run this down for ya: Chinese are Asian, not all Asians are Chinese. Got it, Paddy?
May 5th? Stone Crab season was still open…
If I’d do something to Berger, it would be to siphon his beer growler. Save some for the college ball tomorrow, my friend. Andrew Luck vs Sac St. Shit, I think Nate Davis might even throw a TD vs the Hornets. Might, I said.
At least we didn’t lose ground to the Pads. In other news, Phils within one of Atlanta. I’ll be at Rays v. O’s tomorrow, featuring Stanford product Jeremy Guthrie. Hope to catch some of the Giants–and you all–when I get home.
95% of Rightfielders ketch Barbara’s fly ball the other 5% is Jose Guillen.
With the Giants, pik your poison, Kat. Guillen can hit, but he can’t move. You might even argue that for the last AB in the 9th, Bonehead should have hit Ross for Guillen, because they absolutely above all else needed a baserunner and Guillen can’t leg out a hit — even if he homers, they’re still down a run. If a guy needs a gurney to rget un to first, that’s not the guy you should have batting with 2 down in the 9th needing a baserunner…
“Yahoo Answers” level? Shit, when it comes to Seinfeld, I’m motherfucking Trivial Pursuit level.
I’m a direct decedent of “The Moops!”
I have zero idea who you boys think wanted Guillen. I may be the only one who posted any reservations at all when the deal was cut. But whatever, it’s hilaious how the fucking idiots here get all butt hurt wnen the CATCHER gets a little grief for pitch calling while they’re blaming the manager for not hitting a guy with a .294 OBP for a guy who’s at .404 ( with the Giants)…
And for the year, Guillen’s OBP is also higher than Ross. Fact is, Guillen had the better chance to get on base based on stats here and for the entire year.
He can’t run, for Kreissakes. Ross can…
OBP, do you undersand what that is? The percentage that he gets on base, asswipe. It’s higher than Cody’s.You have no argument. And BergerFuck: pay attention: I didn’t WANT Guillen. I don’t want Nate Fucking Davis. You’re dumber than GringoFuck.
He can’t run NOW. As in tonite, in the top of the ninth, two out, Chavez Ravine; not the whole season. What part of that do you not get?….
He runs no worse now than when they got him. In fact it was noted he was running a bit better. But what part of .404 OBP to .294 NOW do YOU not understand? It’s not arguable, Guillen’s chances of getting on were better than Cody’s.
Dennis- I just found out Michael is a Jose Guillen fan. What an ass.
Michael- Row your boat, it is much faster than Guilen running to first, or running to a fly ball. How do you like me now you Guillen lover. Guillen needs your protection. Next you are going to tell me Nate Davis who ran a 5.1 at the combine is going to save the 49ers with his athleticism, right?
I just read a Bagg’s article where it says Rent “declined” a rehab assignment in the minors in coming off the DL since August 10. WTF is that? He’s a month and half at most away from not having a job, and he “declines” to take a few games of rehab to get back in shape? That’s crap…
Berger:Listen, ONE guy agreed when I suggested we meet at Highway 29 and Tubbs Lane. One. I planted a tree there in his honor. Now shut the fuck up, troll.
Just get me some fucking speed in the OF.Wouldn’t hurt to give Ford a crack.Ford Torres and Ross, could create havoc on the bases.This team needs a spark,with some burners providing it.It’s all about ENERGY!!!!!!!
Now’s it Guillen that dropped Barbara’s hit?
What the fuck ever.
The weird thing is, I heard a total of 2 minutes of the game on the radio. Posey’s 2 out 2 run single, and Billinglsley’s fucking basehit.
Kuiper was about as pissed as I’ve ever heard him get about the location of the pitch.
In the end, its just another pisser of a game that these guys lost. They’ll do it again tomorrow.
2 hits won’t get you far either way.
Guillen was a bad pick up, but not a waste of time if he’s pinch hitting. But playing RF against a righty and batting in the middle of the lineup? What about his last three years led Bochy to do this? Does anyone agree? Not like the offense has been a whole lot different, overall, since he got here, true?
OK, so now it’s not Buster, it’s not the Zitfuck, it’s all on Gomez…
“Wouldn’t hurt to give Ford a crack.”
At a safe?
Things could be worse. You could be this guy:
Dear God, make it STOP!!!
Guillen is hardly responsible for how Huff hits, or Torres, or anybody else. What the fucik is THAT? Look, again, I didn’t like the deal that well and posted that. But the motherfucker is hitting .354 with a .404 OBP. It’s a real fucking stretch to put offensive woes on him.
2/3 of our starting outfield tonight consisted of guys we picked up off of waivers.
This shit ain’t on Buster, it ain’t on Zitfuck and it sure the hell ain’t on Gomez. This shit goes all the way back to the goddamn top. Put the red dot on Sabean’s forehead. This shit is his.
What is his? Getting Burrell? Or having to get Burrell? Man, take a Ledger and put your head down, pal.
Having to get Burrell. Our team is old and slow. Hell, I think we got even slower after Big Money left.
The avg. age of our starting lineup tonight was 30.4.” Ol’ Man River he just keeps rolling along…”
How much do you want to bet that Guillen’s middle name is Gomez . . . ?
That dumb ass Sabean and his stupid overpaid acquisitions: Most likely to get on base (OBP).
1. Gullien .404
2. Fontenot .387
3. Huff .385
4. Posey .375
5. Burrell .364
6. Torres .362
Don’t give a shit, it’s not good enough. We’re three back. Second place just means you’re the first loser.
Playoffs or bust. This drought has run its course. Time to get somebody else to stock the reservoir with rainbow and largemouth. Change the damn bait while yer at it.
Well, at least Matty’s over his 0 wins vs LA.
Let’s hope he s it up to 2 . . .
This latest nugget from Baggs:
Expect to see some changes in tomorrow’s lineup. The Giants face Ted Lilly, the only lefty they’ll get in six games against the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I’d expect Pablo Sandoval and Andres Torres to sit. Aaron Rowand and Edgar Renteria are likely to get a start.
Rowand AND Renteria? I better go to bed and get some rest. I’m gonna start bashing that goddamn lineup bright and early.
Sleep well Flappers.
Against Lilly, last two numbers are HR-RBI :
Huff .120 3 for 25 0-0
Fruckie .348 8 for 23 0-2
Rowand .368 7 for 19 1-3
Renteria .235 4 for 17 1-1
Guillen .176 3 for 17 1-2
Uribe .308 4 for 13 2-5
Burell .111 1 for 9 0-0
Ross .333 2 for 6 1-1
Torres .000 0 for 3 0-0
No one else has faced him.
So that must mean thr G’s score 8 in a laugher . . .
Just to get some of you pissed off, Sabean has made some wonderful moves this season. Much better lineup than last season. And Bochy has never managed better. So there. The complainers can go straight to hell. I hate complainers.
