A “Virtual Tie”
I have no idea how you guys decided to make THAT the thing to perseverate on at the end of the last thread. First place? Not first place? I didn’t think about that for a second after we won last night. I’m not even thinking about it if we sweep these chumps this weekend. Where they are in the standings at this point only has to do with leverage. And after the first two games I say that we have that, without question. We are % points behind, everyone can see that. But we have the psychological edge on the Padres AND we have assured ourselves of not losing any ground from where we were on Wednesday. As I’ve been highlighting for weeks now, the Padres are about to hit the road for 10 straight games with exactly one day of rest left in the entire month of September. Latos and Richard can’t pitch every game. They are DONE. If we had lost 3 or 4 we would be sucking wind and they’d have the leverage on us from here on out. But they didn’t do that. I’ll take a win this weekend, two would be divine, but we are all good from here on out. We won the division last night with that victory. Book it……
Karros is an idiot, but he may be right. Buster needs to shut his pie-hole with veteran umps
Stauffer looked tough. A lot of movement on his pitches, and the ump was helping him out some. The Giants did themselves no favors by waving at balls out of the zone.
Maybe he’ll learn. The catcher should not be griping about ball and strike calls when he’s at bat, he was stupid. And with the arrogant Cuzzi behind the dish tomorrow: double stupid.
we were going to have one of these let down games, hopefully the Padres dont think they back in control. We could use a nice slap down tomorrow, but I expect a 2-1 grind with us on top tomorrow…
I hope our very veteran team isn’t starting to wear down…
Wearing down? Please. They got shut out, big deal. Who is our trainer? That dude should get a raise, this is the second year in a row where we have incurred no serious injury. That’s amazing.
When a team is completely listless on a day game after a night game, it’s a possibility, Flav. Last night wasn’t exactly a show of strength either.
I already explained that loo: too many whores last night. You, of all people, shoulda guessed that
This is going to be corny and stupid. But it’s from the heart.
I was happy enough yesterday knowing at *worse* the Giants had a split. This just makes tomorrow more enticing
Baseball, at its best, is an evergoing comedy/drama.
If your team is a contender? Come September? You are emotionally entertained. And I thank all of you regulars here for allowing me the opportunity to emotionally entertain myself and to continually make a verbal ass of myself. I love you guys.
It’s 9/11. BASEBALL, and my love and passion for it, will not be taken away from me.
God bless America. God bless our troops.
Thanks, Ted. I can honestly say, you’re a gentlemen. (no question mark).
I told you, it’s the fucking idiots screaming “we’re in first” who jinxed today.
Chuck started that shit. Chuck’s a blooming idiot, but we already knew that. But I’m probably the #1 “contributor” to his blog, so I guess that says a lot about myself as well.
Alex gonna throw for 350 or 400 tomorrow? I want to make a note of it for the record.
Ferrethead started it . . .
Anyway, a third straight 1-0 contest would hardly be a surprise.
latos pitching with Cuzzi behind the plate? We are fucked tomorrow unless we get very aggressive at the plate. Don’t let that fucker Cuzzi do us the way today’s HP umpire did us…….
Buster should have let Bochy do the bitching but some of the calls were blatantly retaliation. Baggarly thinks they’ll send tapes to the league. In a 1-0 game that strike zone could make the difference. It extends to more than the actual missed calls- hitters then have to cover bad pitches. It was bullshit.
One thing Tim needs to do right away tomorrow is cleat rake that fucking stupid SD logo behind the mound.He can draw a big SF logo or a Marijuana leaf instead.
Saw that Bagg link too. Interesting to say the least. Take care of business tomorrow and it is forgotten.
Three *called* strikes to Church to end it. CO 9 in a row. What a 3 weeks this will be…
FYI, fear the Duck!
If nobody skips a turn and a playoff game is necessary it lands on Bummie’s day.
Hey, had to take a look, and it was your virtual wife that started it, Mike, not me.
Don;t go casting aspersions . . .
Well, I put a time release remote virus on all my PCs. So if she pisses me off, the computer turns into an electric tuna squeezer. But anyway, your defense is that little Jean started it? The Lemming Defense. Maybe Snarkk will represent you at trial..
Well, someone accused me of starting the whole deal.
Just pointing out the facts, ma’am..
Denny said you started it, I think I just said a fucking asshole did.
Well, that’s no incentive to behave – I need an electric tuna squeezer.
I wasn’t going to say anything, because I hated to think you equated me with the ‘fucking morons’, but I don’t take it personally. I got your point…I just was excited about being 0 back. Plus, I had plenty of company. I thought your comments every four or five posts – ‘uh guys, we’re not in first place’ – were really funny!
BF, after reading your thread, momentum is a very fickle date. SD wins tomorrow, against our #1, it’ll do a lot to boost their mojo going into their roadie.
It still likely kills them, but doesn’t slow down Colo at all.
That being said, the Giants would be well-served taking care of business tomorrow. Time is growing short.
On a serrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrious note: I’m a big numbers guy, follow the peripherals, all that shit. But sorry: if Sabathia wins 20 , there is zero way King Felix gets the CY. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Did I say it would be wrong? Wins still count for SOMETHING. If Felix wins out, I’ll revisit the issue, But for now: no 15, no CY. I don’t give a shit if it’s 14-0, 0.80 ERA.
There are standards to be upheld.
I was asked: “Dear Michael, you speak of Room B. What is that? How does one get there? Can one get out? What’s the address? Wet bar?”
Answers:
Room B is the permanent residence of PickledGringo. Since he pays no rent, he is the groundskeeper.
One gets there by emulating PG.
You may be able to get out. It would depend upon my mood. Which is always lousy.
The address is “Room B”, idiot.
There is a wet bar on the staff PC screen saver. Beautiful people are having a wonderful time.
Oh: be careful when entering via the garden path. It is strewn with broken glass, overrun with weeds, and dangerous to navigate. Remember: PG is the groundskeeper.
I think I miss the padded walls of Room B most of all. They would come in handy for tomorrow, ’cause if Jimmy Raye does the “Run, Run, Pass, Punt Dance,” I’ll crack my skull against the goddamn drywall.
I have the right to revise this before kick off, but as of right now, 49ers 24 Seahawks 13
I hate when I predict the score right on the total, it’s never close.
Room B is easy to get in to.
And just as easy to get out of.
I’ve been there.
And I’ve gotten out.
See, Room B is for fucking stupid motherfuckers what has no repentance.
None at all
Loving the Giants ain’t enuff
You can be an idiot (present company as evidence) but don’t be such an idiot as to question a LU when, frankly, with the exception of shitholtz,…
Okay.
I’m through
Goodnight, gentlemen.
