One Win Away from The Money
82 wins on the season. The next win hits the over on *the Vegas insider* spread— they set it at 82.5 at the start of the season. I have that plus a much larger wager with my A’s buddy that hits once the Giants win their 89th game of the year…..
After 15 straight innings of ineptitude, the Giants finally scored a run. Fontenot wouldn’t be everyone’s POTG but he’s mine with room to spare. Plus I read somewhere once that wide chicks need props, too. 🙂 Anyway, he hit the ball hard all night with nothing to show for it. Finally, where so many others had failed he delivered against a tough pitch to hit, muscling it into right field. Obviously, most of the team was critical to this win including Cain, the bullpen and Sandoval for making contact on a night that he looked like he wasn’t going to come within a foot of hitting the ball. He deserves credit for doing what he had to do in that situation. I still have no idea WTF he was doing in that first at bat with the bases loaded……….
This is going to be a very tough game to win tonight. I’m no Lilly fan but he’s a lefty who doesn’t walk too many guys– that’s the death combo to toss at our offense. Pray that Dirrrrty finds his stuff and just hope for another scratched out victory. 2-1 or so………
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
NO more citation of “history” of Rohand with anybody, as if it matters with a guy hitting around .220 for the year. He sucks against everybody, and getting a hit or dinger will be pure happenstance…
As long as he keeps that crappinstance.
Could Uribe be running on fumes. Two runs in three games on his D.
And of course, Channel 31 has its usual herky-jerky glitches during its broadcast. Is it really that hard to do without problems?
Posey vs. Lilly?
The flower that blooms first has the advantage. Advantage Posey.
HUff N Puff. Solid. Posey — ROY….
Huff the Magic Dragon Bustered in. Thanx for the present, guys.
Dirty has some nasty stuff working. I’m liking our chances as the fog rolls in.
If the Ark squad can get 2 more runs, Sanchee’s lookin like he could bring it home…
Loo– the 2007 team was a joke. WTF was some energy at the top of the LU gonna do for that team?
Buster’s 60th RBI. He was hanging on it for a bit of a while. Likely to buster a bit looser now. Pablo was hanging on #60 for a bunch of while, like his schneid with RISP was in charge of the bamboo grove. He had his nibble last night. Interesting synchronicity between those twin 60’s.
Maybe this is a harbinger of the bats getting looser in general. Nice to see the #3 hitter setting the extra bases pace and the cleanup guy bringing him in with more slash hitting. This team could go into a slash binge of doubles and triples soon ~ like against the Brewers and their NL Central pitching staff. Maybe a bit more of a foretaste tonight. Lilly doesn’t walk guys much, so the walks plus longball approach doesn’t cut it. Giants rank pretty high in doubles, their best offensive category.
Rowand-bashing in 3….2…1….
Son of a motherless Christ he sucks. Bochy simply cannot play him. He cannot play him.
Well, they’re hitting the ball hard, including the DP grounder..
Why can’t you just say he fucking sucks like the rest of us. 5-4-3 DP. “But he hit it hard.”
Tiger tees off on the 18th at Pebble and hooks it into the Pacific. “But he hit it hard.”
Batter hits the ball hard, that’s the part he can control. Shut the fuck up. When he sucks, I say it. That time he hit it hard, no reward. Move on.
Another stellar Rohand rollover DP.What a useless POS!
Ok, ok… My dream of an ironic miracle isn’t happening. We should offer rowand a 50% lump sum buy out just to make him go away…
Hey, we really ARE tied for first now!
There’s your Rohand “history”. Another 4 hopper to 3rd for an inning ending DP for the umpteenth time. Yeah, no reason to take a risk on Ford, he might strike out. Oops, that would have been actually better…
I haven’t paid much attention to what rowand looks like lately. Is he still ripped like he was when he hit ST? Maybe he needs to get his bike ride on again!
Maybe he’d hit better in spandex bike shorts. Kind of a thong thing…
Average age of our lineup tonight…42!
I am shocked Guillen is in there with his neck issues…let’s see if this holds. Rowand has had good numbers against Lilly right???? If he flails tonight, he really should not get anywhere near a starting lineup…
Yer all getting the jerky screen? It actually stopped so I shouldn’t complain.
9 pitch inning. i like it.
As I said, the DP grounder was hit hard. Shut up about Ford, idiot.
Next time you shower with Rowand, let us know, Craig.
We really ARE tied for first now!
Not sure why that posted twice.
Fucking Rowand is 1 for his last 27.How could Ford not top that?
Ford should be able to beat out 2 or 3 grounders out of 27 ABs…
OMG! A bunt single!
Fucking awesome move by rent on that fuck. Created a little energy there didn’t he????
Nice cagey ploy there by our new “lead off” hitter. Nice job, Rent.
C’mon Fruckless!
. Sanchez gets rung up just for doing that
Maybe about the time you figger out that Ishi won’t be starting against a LHer, you’ll figger out that Ford is not happening.
I like that Johnson dude in RF!
Fruckie!
Reed Johnson hasn’t a clue out there in RF. Tough shit.
Anybody can play RF here, right James?
You had to wait a pretty long time to make that comment.
Huffster needs another one….
Huffster!
I called it!
PENNANT FEVER!!!!!!!!!!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah baby!!!!!
DOnt tell me to slow down,…
Booooo-motherfucking….yaaaaaaa!!!!! Rent started it with that sweet move on dipship Blake
KAPOW!
Yowza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wowsa
Giggity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont tell me to slow down!!
I didn’t call Buster, but that’s #2 of 3 that I predicted. Buster!
Dead Lilly….
Hell yeah Nice explosion off of Lilly.Back to back jacks!
These fuckers are too slow…
…I guess hitting it out of the park is one way to overcome being slow!!
Time to give Huff more rest. He’s been killing us in the number 3 spot.
Is that meant for someone here?
Giggity???
What did I say this morning????? We would score 45 runs off Lilly…we are 1/9th of the way there…
They’ve scored 45 in “dog runs”.
Big Giggity! That might have to be my new screen name…..
Huff the Magic Dragon. My best present all day. Earlier today i called a 4-1 game. Jeeze, it’s that already. Tee off time. After seeing one tough pitcher after another, these guys are having a high old time facing a ‘pretty good’ hurler. Slow Dogs feed here. Bustered another high drive. Lilly did not scare me going into the game. So Posey adds the frosting to the cake. What a party for me and Mexico.
Huff took care of the hardest part of a cycle early.Nice inning,more then enough for Dirrty against these bums.
First person to mention what happens should we hold on tonight not until the game is final gets donkey punched.
Don’t fucking jinx us.
Looks like they gelded the Lilly.
Double and a single for Huffster and he’s got the cycle. . .
Happy Birthday Stix…Margaritas for everyone.
Is this a .500 team without Posey?
When did this turn into a rave???
Sorry I asked, Zumie.
That’s the 1st Guillen hit I’ve seen . . .
Thanx Kat. Makwa Friendly Bear, twin womb-mate to Mergetroid Mellow Fellow ( i call them the Bash Brothers ~ you can see that in their scars, scabs and scratches after one of their brotherly love sessions) just got off my lap before Huff and Posey unloaded. That cat must have a bit of Galarraga in him. Looks like all the planets are aligned tonight as Drrrrrty is plumb nasty tonight and the Magic Dragon Buster Open combo is being served at the local cantina.
Hey Dennis, all Guillen needs is a double, triple, and HR for the cycle.
Back to the rave…
NBC sucks..//….
Stop future posting dENNIS
If all started with a fuckin bunt for a hit. I’ve been yelling for that for weeks, finally Rent, of all people, gets it done. Then, the floodgates opened. Huff n Posey, that’s a tandem. See what a liittle bunt does once in a while? Thank you…
Double fuck.
Dennis. You tokkin at us? Enjoy the party when its happenin, Dude. Ain’t nothin bad happening tonight. Planets are aligned.
Progress for Rowand.No DP.
Rent has tried drag bunting often since he’s been here. Pay attention, dipshit. And Dennis-you are the WORST, you shut up.
This is exactly why Timmy bats left handed. His pitching hand isn’t exposed when he bunts.
I just got home from work. Looking good
Happy birthday stix
The sound is hellish. John Miller was sounding like Darth Vader. It sounded like Miller was saying that Rowand is Luke’s father.
Should we hold on, this will mark the first time since ’05 that we’ve taken the season series vs the Bums.
Franchez with the walk!
Huff, like Torres, had a poor August. Pointing that out is not dissing him (that’s for James)… and those two are still the 1-2 or 2-1 team MVPs. Maybe next year for Buster. ROY will be good enough…
Anyone, at this point in the season, still in the running *with* Posey?
