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 
I wouldn’t give the little runt an RBI for that AB, too easy. I’d charge the Bums with an E.
C’mon Buster, bust this shit out.
Buster could be SI cover boy within the next 3 weeks…
Just what we need, another jinx.
Wow, LA self destructing. A walk to FS with bags juiced?
I hope Torre announces after tonite he isn’t coming back, so maybe LA players would realize it’s mostly their fault, sack up and whip the fucking rox after they leave town.
RentMan! Our sparkplug Torres goes down for a spell. Ol’ Edgar can smell it. He’s been there. Team is playing for Andres. Troncosotitis tonight against the Runt. Tonight was all in the alignments. Jelling time. struttin their stuff. Thanx Ted. Looks like this one is gonna be pretty memorable. Totally love the timing. Magic IS in the air.
Great to be here; a party atmosphere. I’ve been in bed half the week, and fearing a reprise of last year’s pneumonia, around this time. But, doctor, doctor, what’s ailing me, Mr. MD? Pennant Fever! No cure for that!
Happy Birthday, Stix.
KO-KO! KO-KO! KO-KO!
Mike, you guys might be right about ross. I wonder if Bochy figured that with all the PT Torres has this season, he’d need the rest/wear down with how hard he plays. Esp since he hasn’t ever played this much I don’t think. And of course, he just didn’t feel good about running Rowand out there all the time in his stead.
So this way Ross gets a look at the park, gets some ABs, plays D and won’t be walking in cold next year. And adjusts to the weather too.
Nice inning from Sanchez, even with the HR and single. With the big lead, he threw a lot of strikes.
Happy Birthday, Stix. Same day as my middle lad (24) and his niece(4)
With a win the 16th will be a very memorable day for us both.
Mitchell’s HR not withstanding this is a game where even the boys in blue begin to think about the plane trip home.
and it looks like tonight’s LU is spot on.
How can we get Dennis to enjoy himself more? As Twin often states, let him do the worrying. Twin knows best. Dennis can go back to watching Perry Masion reruns.
That was awesome, my fav pitch the fucking high hard one. Furcal is the most annoying of these guys to me….he’s trying to hit a 5 run HR on a pitch that’s shoulder high and away. Did he really think he was going to splash one opposite field off Sanchez? Think again, homeboy sez JS.
Maybe I misheard, but did Krukow say that Huff’s new son’s name is Jagger?
Ever get the feeling that celebrities shouldn’t be allowed to name their children?
Pawlie. Thanx and enjoy the cure tonight. Edd: Give em my best. Giants are giving us theirs.
Bye bye, see ya later!!!!!!!!!!!
I called Guillen! That’s two for the horse.
Uhm…18th
sweet
My 10-run prediction is in play!
Truly. “Guillen did not miss it.” Bats have woke up just in time for when all the fun begins.
Adios!!
Brilliant post, chuck
Huh?
Did Rowand just look to center and think: ‘I used to play there’
After that 35 ft. (and I’m being generous) out by Rowand to make him now 0-3.
I think it’s high time Twin posts our record when Rowand is in the starting lineup.
I always get a kick outta that shit.
9,347 wins
7 losses
Smartass
Seriously, is Rowand now the worst hitter in the majors? I mean, somebody has to be the worst.
I typed
Ahhh, *insert Rowand joke here*
Guillen swung like he knew that lolllipop curve was coming. Nice. Rohand, he’s a joke now. He taks an AB like he’s got a private jet warming up on the SFO tarmac to take him to his next team…
For his next trick, Chuck will post something in braille.
Can’t use the angle brackets
Dennis be off the ledge and dancing on water.
Next thing you know, he’ll be asking for tithe
Dr. Jekyll is running that LU tonight. Mr. Hyde is noplace to be found. Look at the records of some of these guys Sabean has picked up. No big stars, but a lot of quality bats over their careers. Facing absolutely superior pitching they may or may not make it happen. Earlier in the season they had a lot of trouble with so-so hurlers. Not tonight.
Sanchez is good for the W. Turn it over to the BP.
Typically, a giy hits a HR and there are more comments about another guy who grounded out. And Snarkklefuck somehow managed to post about last night’s win without even mentioning Ishikawa. Pathetic dipshits…
You’re freeekin delusional…
This game deserves some more Quagmire:

Why does a Casey Blake AB make me think of a Fuzzy St John movie?
Drrrrrty. Drrrrrty. Drrrrrrrrty. Imagine this PS in the WS against the Twins.
twin’s brain would explode
Reed, you are the bomb!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Stix..
Woo hoo!!!
Well, a couple of “my boys” are stepping up just fine…
Triple for Renteria
“Why is Rent a Wreck leading off?”
Happy happy, Stix . . .
Bring in Ishi, Boch. Oracle needs an Ishi sighting…
We had better win this game, or else this joint will look like Jonestown.
Water buffaloes rule.
dennis, last sunday you were complaining about PManning and Cutler….monday SF chron had them 1-2 in “top QB performances” with about 800 yds. combined and a few scores…
Sounds to me like you won driving….”romps router!”
Jesus, Reed Johnson makes Jose Guillen look like a Gold Glover.
Would love to see Huff get to 100 ribbies.
Welcome to my Party, Twin. One of the best ever. Congratulations to our new sparkplug, Ol’ Edgar is THE dude to step into Torres’ role. Happening right before our eyes. This team is headed to the races. With the hitting sparked up again, they may develop a habit. One Reed Johnson does NOT want to make a habit of playing RF anywhere near China Basin OR #24 Willie Mays Plaza. And as for standing in front of McCovey Cove, it plumb gives him the willies.
He was stuck in the 70s for a while . . .
But then again, aren’t we all?
Torre ripping thru his pen one last time . . .
Chuck. Glad you’re enjoying the party.
Happy B-Day, stix. How’s your puter from Twin working? I’m sure you’re enjoying the Ishi/Rowand/Whitey screen saver that came permanently affixed to it.
No one has stepped more for the drive than the headcase Dirty Gomez…
“up more”..
Dirty is dealing like a big dog . . .
Willie, Manning scored 50+ pts. for me last week. I’m playing Chuck this week. In other words, I have a bye week.
Dirty Dozen!
More synchronicity. Its the 16th and Drrrrty is 16th in the league in ERA. Dude seems to thrive on run support. He can smell it too.
Man, if these guys could get a do-over for August, they’d be up by 7.
You sound a lot like Singletary did last Saturday, Dennis.
Speaking of Sing, make sure you check out his interview with Dennis O’Donnell on 49ers Preview this Sat. at 5:00 on CBS 5. I guess he was tired of answering the “yahoo story” questions from today (show was taped today) and he ripped poor Dennis a new one. This shit ain’t looking too good. I told you guys that Seattle was a MUST WIN. They should have listened to me.
0 fer 4. But our winning % with Rowand in the starting lineup continues to grow.
How’s he do that?
This team’s gone viral. Wonderful party. May it not be over till the Halloween Machine picks up all the pumpkins.
Twin, no doubt about that. I was commenting on that the other day. The mental aspect was always the complaint about Sanchez and he’s been the one getting after it. Him and Cain. And lately Lincecum.
Fini for Sanchee. Xllnt performance. He’s getting more able to stick it out through hiccups, whereas before he’d get pissed and start walking 2 or 3. Nasty hook tonight, and slider, too. If they get into playoffs, he should start ahead of Zitoid…
I’m not here every night, so may have missed someone else do it, but I’m going to call Boche for Manager of the Year. He has been really inspired with the mixing and matching, use of pitchers, and his steadiness even as we wavered in August.
Dotel is a hack. Even Rohand should hit a dinger off this dude…
I hatred that song 25 years ago. Now I have to hear it 45 times a night . . .
Every night.
Rowand not hitting tonight. Oh well. Dennis. You’ll be delighted to know that Twin gifted my puter with Double Cy as the first greeting for my babyblues.
DRRRRRRTY!!!!!
Rowand couldnt get a hit in a beer league softball game right now.
If Torres is back and can play in a playoff series, Rohand has to be left off the playoff roster. Murph the clubhouse dude takes better ABs. No way they can waste a precious roster spot on this guy. He acts in the box like he’s already got one cleat outta town…
Let me get it straight, snarkk
You don’t like Rowand
Fuck, man, give it a break
This BP would look pretty nice riding the Halloween Machine.
No need to trample on the man, Snarkk. Now is when he needs you…
Absolutely, Ted. It’s become sub-moronic. 8-2, 3 HRs, Sanchez career high Ks, set to take over first, and post after post on Rowand.
Who was the fucking idiot that put Renteria at leadoff??!!
Fucking Rent a Wreck
FUCK!
Oh yeah! Who predicted 10 runs? Me!
There’s Loo’s ten runs. It must be that Rowand magic when he starts. I hope he starts tomorrow.
