Zito’s Law, In All it’s Inglorious Glory
Man, was his Law ever in more effect than last night? Look at my 9/13 post and see how many theorems out of the 6 he had checked off:
1) “He’ll get outpitched by the opposing pitcher”: check
2) “Our bats will go silent”– double check
3) “”We will commit some dumbass defensive miscue”— ugly check. This one was the best because God (who hates Zito and the Giants) stepped into the game for just a moment to make sure Theorem #3 kicked into play: Blake hit a certain base hit up the middle–except that it bounds off the mound and changes course directly to the Uribe. We are saved, inning over. Whoops. God just wanted that inning to hurt a little more– a simple, clean base hit up the middle wasn’t gonna do it………..
4) “Opponents hardest hit balls are always in the direction of our slowest athletes”– I wouldn’t call Uribe slow or not athletic but he’s hardly a deft gazelle out there at SS. I’d give this a 1/2 check.
5) “If we ever score a run Zito will walk the first 2 hitters of the next inning”– we never scored a run but he did manage to screw up the 6th inning in classic Zito style: hit batter, walk, walk to load the bases. No check here, though. OK, maybe a 1/4 check.
6) “The opponents game winning hit will always come from their worst hitter”– substitute “most hated current Dodger” and this one gets a full check………..
Heart breaking game. Who loses when their team throws a 1 hitter? Zito’s Law, baby. You can’t escape it. Every 5th day like clockwork………..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Excellent frame from Eddie Munster. Bring in Spot to close it out.
No kitty cat?
Just another Wilson save away … when I think about it, the way they drew it up in April … a string of 1-0 games. It’s just that all those HRs got my head all turned around for awhile
H R Huff’n Stuff
Huffster! Seems like he;s made 7 outs tonight, but beauty,eh?
I’d walk Posey as well.
Torre….(sniff)…still cares
Huff the Magic Dragon. Great grab at first. Beautiful double. Definitely a keeper for next year.
Bums really playing for the DP here. It’s the wrong move, and I hate to bunt here, but….
This should be a fun matchup Uribe against the flamethrowing Jannsen.Mano on Mano!!
Kenley?
That’s Kedley! Kedley!
“This is 1874. You’ll be able to sue HER!”
Fuck. These gents need some insurance runs
Got to calm down.
Then again…I’m not there
Pablo is missing shit right down thre middle
Thank you very much
take it..
hey
Oh yeah – Huffin.
There you go…
H!!R!!Huff’n Stuff!!
It could be a key RBI, give the fuck some credit, he got it to the right side.
Michael, what’s with the bitch? Who’s complaining? Did I miss something?
Time to get Velez the FUCK out of there…
I thought … well, I was hoping … it was a good matchup for Panda, since he could reasonably look fastball only
Some real courage and great management by Bochy to PH for Cain after his totally masterful performance. Nice insurance run with the one-two-three hitters coming up for the LaBumbos. C’mon Wilson!
WILSON!!!!!!!
Frankly, if I ever saw this guy in person…I’d just leave him alone.
I undersatnd the casting directors of SONS OF ANARCHY have approached Wilson for a role
Uhm…
Never a dull moment…
Ins run looking huge right about now . . .
Didn’t think that was going, though.
Fuck, You can;t walk Gibbons.
Ballgame!
YES
congrats…fuck ya
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, baby!!!
“Michael, what’s with the bitch? Who’s complaining? ” A key RBI and no props at all. Anyway-turned out HUGE.
POTG: Cain
Co-Silver: Travis and Fontenot
Granted. Deserved props
Orson Welles says, “We will serve no props before it’s time.”
Joe Montana = Enough offense.
Not the stupidest thing I ever posted, but up there.
Huge game…Finish him off with the Heater Ricky…The old #1 always the way to go.
Got em. Sarah Bernhardt gets the save but provided all the possible drama we could handle. No doubter about Cainer being POTG. Drrrty gotta bring it manana. He’s got the edge over Lilly. One half game behind in the Division. Same for the W.C. Let’s get the Division. Maybe the dink RBI by Panda will get him off his schneid.
Woo-Hoo!!!!!!
Wouldn’t have been a great win without your “Woo-Hoo!!!!!”, sweety
Aww, thanks Dahlin’!!! (batting eyelashes)
I know the least of all ya’ll here about baseball but what I love about Wilson is, he’ll give up a bomb if he knows it won’t *lose* the game.
He just fucking goes for it.
But, fuck…Cain’s the POTG!!!!
Flav, you’re criminal if you don’t dub such!
(Unless you don’t have any picture of him with hot chicks) 😉
Ok Flav…this is the POTD…
The player of the game to win this game is yours truly Giant Head.
After 15 scoreless innings watching Kruk and Kuiper, I switched to Espn right for the bottom the 7th, we immediately break the scoring drought. I did not jinx the lead by switching to any other channel and we break the streak and won the game.
You can all thank me tomorrow…
Thanks, GH
So I’m assuming tonight’s split squad lineup will resume their regularly scheduled play at Hohokam Park tomorrow.
Ha!
Cut down on the vino, Joe…
Fawn
Ten
No
Goodnight ladies and gentlemen (question mark)
Mick Red Thong Jagger Huff Power tonight!!!!Cain…Fontenot…Ishi…Huffster all key players tonight.
Pinch hitting for Matt was a gutsy decision, he’s catching major flak if it doesn’t work. Travis’ 6 for 17 against Babs had to be why. And Ishikawa did what he had gotten away from- aggressive early in the count…
I just heard that Huff had a baby today – Congratulations, Huff Daddy!!!
Btw- anyone else ever see KG of Tenacious D having a baby on one of the Tenacious D DVDs? Pretty funny stuff. Maybe it’s on Youtube.
Here’s the video clip:
“Fuck pulling Cain! Your a Fucking IDIOT Bochy!!!!!!!!!”
Now, apologize to Mr. Bochy. Say you’re sorry to the nice man.
““Fuck pulling Cain! Your a Fucking IDIOT Bochy!!!!!!!!!”
Kat is still the only one to call Bochy out before the result was in. I’ll give him that. That decision to pull Cain could be one of the crucial decisions of the year.Bonehead wins that one… in fact, I’m giving him POTG.
Hardly hitting a lick (barely batting over .200 for the month) Giants are 9-4 for September. Why? They lead the Majors in ERA at a spiffy 1.55. What a turnaround from August. We knew they had it in em, even then, but the whole baseball world had to be wondering what the heck was up. Guess they were just saving it. Every Playoff contender has to look at that pitching stat and simply shudder. Even the hitting may not be all that bad. There is some better than excellent pitching in the NL West. Six of the remaining 16 are with the NL Central Brewers (home) and Cubs (away). Should be lunchtime for the bats.
Even with the excuse me RBI, i wonder if Bochy sits Pablo tomorrow. Evidently the Panda is Jonesing for some nice, fresh bamboo shoots.
He already said that Panda is off tomorrow.
That’s what is called in sports “a move that makes itself.”
I want a present from J. Sanchez.
Giants pitchers gave up no walks tonight. Can’t remember when that last happened. Outstanding!
