A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

And on the 5th Day, God Created a Loss…..

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 14, 2010

Here it comes. Can you feel it? Right now it’s just a few leaves blowing around outside, the faintest wind is starting to kick up. But it’s coming.  By 7:10pm he’ll stride to the top of the hill in the middle of a raging hurricane of bad luck, broken promises and fake hustle. The team hasn’t won a game he’s pitched in since August 11th…….

I was surprised to look at the overall team win totals when each of the 4 starts have pitched this year.

Dirrrrty: team has won 19 times that he’s pitched

Timmy: also 19 times

Cain: 16 wins

Zito: 14 wins…..

The team has won 14 times when Zito’s pitched this year? I had to check to see if those were the team wins for his career. It wasn’t, it was for 2010. Zito is kryptonite to the “W”. And yet, somehow we’ve won 14 times this year when he’s taken the hill.

The team has won games that Zito has pitched in this year. Just keep reminding yourself of that fact tonight if you start thinking about “Zito’s Law” during tonight’s game……..

    I’m quite convinced it won’t be Cody Ross.

    Sanchez was running back to 1st.

  5. max808's avatar max808 said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:08 pm

    St Louis seems to have packed it in. That’s good news for SD and Colo.

  6. Flavor's avatar bigflavor said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:10 pm

    Sanchez was just doing that fake-move back to first to try to disrupt the dp. It had No chance of working in that situation— another component of fake hustle— do something that has no chance of working but it looks like a real clever move

    Amazing how the Dodgers just hand out Piazza’s #31 to anybody. Sounds familiar.

  8. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:12 pm

    I think the Giants won the shortest game in history. Like 58 minutes or something.

  9. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:20 pm

    That was perhaps the gayest car commercial I’ve ever seen.
    Not that there’s anything wrong with that

    • unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:21 pm

      Who would drive that gay-ass thing?

      It’s a clown car

        You got something against clown cars, Chuck?

        We do pack a lot into them.

  11. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    That would just slay K & K. Almost as funny as an “ugly finder” cracking open someone’s skull.

  12. willied's avatar willied said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:26 pm

    That was pretty funny…Kruk just caught himself in time before “A blunt would be a good…” yeah, it would be a good idea, almost anytime Zito is on the mound. Would one of those be a first for our Mike? Would it get him to stop reminding us of Zito lack of support etc.?

  13. DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:27 pm

    F) Giants

  14. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:27 pm

      That’s going too far, dennis

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:38 pm

        No, I’m just trying to balance things out. If when all the players praise and thank God for when things go well, I’m here to call his ass out when they don’t. No one is beyond reproach in my book.

    A fortuitous bounce off the mound only to turn into an error. Zitos law…

  31. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:35 pm

    More shit ass bad luck.Easy play by Uribe and he butchers it.

  32. willied's avatar willied said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    Dang, that’s too bad, had a chance to get out of it, bad break, but Zits is now gone.
    I was thinking about this on my way to work, where I get paid by the hour….what would the numbers on that stat look like for Zito? 30 starts that last an hour and a half….make it an even 50 hours of work on the mound. For how many million in a season? At $15 mil, that works out to…..? 300K an hour?

  33. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    Ain’t no fucking way Zito blames Uribe
    Cassillio just got fucked

    • TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:48 pm

      It’s not Zito’s pitching, moron. It;s his fucking Satanic curse!!

      • TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:50 pm

        And besides, I’ve hated Zito for around 8 years now so I’ll fucking hate him any motherfucking time I like

    Come on!

  47. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:53 pm

    Agree Ted…The Dodgers no way will ever want to lose to us.But they will mail it in against the Pads/Rocks,to assure that we don’t make it.

    • TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:54 pm

      yup

  50. Michael's avatar Michael said, on September 14, 2010 at 8:55 pm

    Not affixing blame but the miscommunication on 3-2 to Ethier was a huge mistake. Rarely see that happen in such a key situation.

  51. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:04 pm

    Heart of the order looked like shit that inning.And Fuck Furcal faking a toss to the fans on Burrell’s foul out.

    • DJLoo's avatar DJLoo said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:13 pm

      I saw that, but who knows what the fan might’ve called him?

  52. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:07 pm

    Okay.
    I just got off a conference call with Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller.
    If we all pitch in $8 (they haven’t worked in a while) they’re willing to fly out to San Francisco and perform an exorcism on Zito’s demonic issues.
    For $5, they’ll do it with Skype.
    Gentlemen (?)? Any takers?

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:13 pm

      Only if we feed Zito with French Onion beforehand. I’ve never been a fan of split pea.

  53. Bozo's avatar Bozo said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    Bottom of the order coming up. Three runs this (half) inning would be very good. “You Can Do It”.

  58. zumarust's avatar zumarust said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:20 pm

    To quote that old phrase- Kershaw has handcuffed the Giants tonight. Everybody’s getting jammed. Pablo’s absolutely worthless in this situation. And Rowand is Rowand. Plus the pitcher. So it’s like trying to win with 6 hitters.

  59. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:22 pm

    Fuck guys. I’m hoping. Praying. KIDDING . . .

  60. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    “Don’t sweat this dudes. I have had an epiphany and it is Aaron rowand. He’s healthy (he’s gotta be he hasn’t done shit for months) and torres and his slump have been taken out by this random appendectomy. I’m telling you, this is fate. Rowand will lead the charge to a division title. Book it.”

    I’m pretty sure BF was high when he wrote this.

  65. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on September 14, 2010 at 9:27 pm
