The Padres Could Easily Finish in 3rd Place….
I was half-way listening to Marty Lurie in the car yesterday and I THINK he said that only one team in the history of baseball has ever lost 10 in a row and still made the playoffs–1951 Giants (I think). And the Padres are forced to look around the locker room and not be thinking “Ok, this will pass, we are the best team, etc…”. They’re looking around going “uh oh, this is what everyone said we would be before the season started”. If anything, we need to worry a little about Colorado– they’re playing well and if we get hit by San Diego on their freefall down it’s totally possible that the Rockies slide right on up to the top of the division…….
Depending on the outcome of the next couple of days we could literally be in a position to BURY the Padres in our upcoming seires with them later in the week……
10 freaking games lost in a row. Amazing. 80% of the Giants fan base would have committed suicide if that had happened to us……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Somehow Bonehead has managed a shaky pen into 27-13, best save percentage, and fewest inherited baserunners scoring ( in the NL)
Anybody got fingernails left?
Left up to the kid again.
Son of a bitch!
Huff blew up the inning again.
unlucky 1st pitch foul..then ya
He needs to sit tomorrow, no questions asked. Either give Ishi one of his rare starts, or move President Taft over to first.
Fucking A. Just a great ketch ASSHOLE!
I don’t like the looks of this…
I thought he HAD to have trapped it, nope: just a great play.
I thought so too until they showed it from that different angle
Totally on Huff ‘s AB.Lucky to get the opportunity anyway.No way SS Drew should be covering 2nd on Freddy’s 40 hopper.Especially when their pitching inside.
Wow, that’s the best Affeldt has looked in a while. Whew. This game is a gonad crusher…
Pen doing a great job. Nice to see those 0-2 counts.
Let’s just hope Nate stays awake up there
Haven’t seen a pitch of this on tv– all radio. Unbelievably entertaining game….
Mat Latos scratched for tonight, he’s ill. Tim Stauffer gets a spot start.
Ishi Fishin’, twice. Horrible AB…
Piece of shit AB Travis
He quit hitting after they benched him at the deadline.
Casilla with the usual wildness. This ain’t lookin’ good…
Walks will lose the game!!
Yeah i heard Dennis, Latos might have had food poisoning.The clubhouse spread gets pretty moldy after 10 straight losses.
Bochy already went through all the strike throwers in the pen
Casilla only throwing fastballs. This could end quickly
Well he had him set up for that, didn’t he?
Finish him with curve…
Nice. When he walked the first guy, I thot we were in for it. Nice, nice recovery. Posey or whoever was calling the pitches there, did a nice job. This game is freekin torture…
Lets score…
Casilla is a trip. He’s got no idea where the ball is going. Good thing the hitters have no idea either. God damn I want this game bad…
We got 25 more games of this shit? I’m pre-ordering for a pacemaker…
Starter and BP has been epic today. Time to run Uribe out there and put an end to this.
D-Backs announcers said Reynolds had almost no chance there with his bad thumb, especially after getting jammed on the foul ball.
You think Wilson is drama? Imagine Casilla as your closer.
Wow just fiflthy great stuff by Casilla.Reynolds’ hands right now feel like he put them both in a barrell of bees.
May I say again, why the fuck not Torres try a bunt for hit? Fuckin ridiculous he doesn’t try it…
Torres cannot bunt. Why? You tell me.
Reynolds probably can’t throw … it’s certainly worth someone testing him
Looked pretty good to me there.
Well, Sanchez just accidentally tested him!
Need a dinger, Huff, right here…
It DOES seem like Torres would be well advised to work on some bunting skills when he has a spare moment. He could pose some conundrums for defenses if he had that threat.
Yea Shitholtz atones….
LOO IS PSYCHIC!
Nate’s biggest moment as a Giant…
Fuck yeeees. Glad he finally woke up and decided to pay attention
The dumbest motherfucker in the world just came through.
Nate Scheirholtz come on down!!!!!!!
Shierholtz getting it done for upper crust rich kids everywhere.
His brother still has more impact with the public though.
That’s comedy
Time for The Beard of Zues.
Anyone think wilsons inning is gonna go 1-2-3? Baha.
Shut the fuck up about Torres bunting, you people act like it’s easy. Hardly ANYONE can drag successfully, plus he’s one of the 2 or 3 most powerful lead off hitters in the game.
He’s on a strikeout binge, idiot. His worst slump of the season. You do anything to get on base if you’re the only speedster on the team. Bunting for a hit when you’re in a slump is basic baseball…
Gotta give the boob a start in RF tomorrow for his heroics today.
10:18 Loo made the call.
3-4-5 hitter’s due up. Keep the respirator handy.
Seriously though. I can’t remember Nate ever doing anything of significance at the dish. Way to go.
It’s torture time!
Did I call Nate a dipshit earlier? Well, after that triple, I’ll edit to just a dip. Clutch knock on a cripple pitch. Come on Wilson, end this sucker, quick. I”ve had enough sphincter puckering for one game…
Pretty sweet for Nate … lost the job, mixed in some F-ups, gets a cookie to “win” the game … very, very nice. I’ve had a soft spot in my heart/head for him. Wish he had played better when he had the chance.
It’s the PUNCHLESS fucks like Fruckie who need to work on drag bunting.
great catch Torres…wow
Yungo is well deserving of a Gold Glove this yr. Another excellent grab.
Ballgame!
Go Dodgers!
Nice!!
Congrats…Great win
Schier magic! And two straight shutouts!
Excellent. Gutty win.
Hell Yes !!!We will be tied for 1st After the Friars choke another one.
Can Sheisholtz be POTG? Yes.
Bum runner up for a nails performance.
Torres runner up for his stellar D.
The glorious torture continues…
Shitholtz winning a game for you is what it takes to win a division…
As I posted when September began-no one knows who will fuel a run to the postseason, April through August is now utterly meaningless. No credits or demerits. Nate is every bit as big as Huff right now.
That was a great game. Can’t think of any other way to describe it, just a great ballgame.
That was playoff caliber stuff. Good D, great pitching, nailbiting galore. Can only help the squad if they get to the playoffs…
Amen.
Beuatiful day with ATL losing, and Phi losing at least 1…
How about the pitching the last two and half games???
Playoff caliber? I say World Series Caliber!!
Man all we need now is a Whitey Walkoff to complete the magic inside.
Not that they’re not putting enough pressure on themselves, but this win really amps it up on the Padres. Gutty stuff. As I wrote last night, everyone’s getting comfortable in their role–Nate tonight. Pitching and defense outstanding, offense timely. In year’s past, you regularly had the feeling the team was done after five innings if we were behind. This year, it might be they need to get past a certain pitcher to get going. But there’s a resilience there this year I haven’t seen with an SF club in very long time. Way to go guys!
Heard most on 1430. We get more gray hair by the minute, but sakes alive! W!
I’ve got the Tenderloin and, just in case, Philadelphia, on Suicide Watch: Nate Davis is being released by the Niners.
Alright- Boise St. was a nice little story for a while, now I’m tired of them. I hope Virginia beats them.
Those Virginia uniforms are hideous though.
The blue field is a little funky, but that comeback W against Oklahoma was classic. I like VT too, but I hope Boise fucks up the BCS BS.
Boy, these September call-ups are a wild card unto themselves. Nats’ Danny Espinosa and Marlins’ Adalbert Mendez have stellar performances today. Funny, I don’t remember Espinosa in the slightest at Triple A Syracuse. Must’ve been too busy moon-eyeing Strasburg.
Anyway, Go Giants! It’s magic inside — and outside, too.
Virginia Tech, I mean. And Boise St. is already ahead 10-0. Doh!
Fuck me. On the road all day, and I thought the game started at 5:30.
What the fuck? 2-0 shutout? 11 innings?
I was diriving all goddamn day and I coulda listened to the fucking game.
Oh well. I probably woulda drove off a bridge amongst the drama.
0.5 BABY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The fricking Rockies are doing their late season charge . . . They need a beat down when we go there . . .
