3 Games That Will Determine the Outcome of the Season
Is it possible to get more geeked for this series? Timmy vs “The Poor Man’s Ubaldo” tonight. I love watching Chacin pitch, this is going to be a great match up. Zitman on Sat and for some unknown reason the Rockies hitters flail against him. Then Cain on Sunday.
The pitching staff continues to hurl at a record pace in September but there’s reason for concern right now. The rockies are losing but they aren’t having any trouble hitting the ball. I’m certain that our “HR or bust” mentality will continue in Colorado. We can’t panic if they put up runs just go out and match any crooked numbers they might put up.
I’ve got no feel on how this series plays out. The only thing that would be devastating would be getting swept but I just can’t see that with Timmy and Cain going. We are in control of everything, especially with 6 easy ones to end the season. At home. Magic number is 10……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Chacin stealing a page from Timmy’s book. He got through that inning on only a dozen pitches. Now at 98 through six. Interesting duel.
Son of a bitch! Rocks got that run because of something we don’t have, speed. Did Huff really need to play that far in? We fucking lose another 1-0 game, and it’s to the ledge.
This’s shaping up like every other 1-0 loss we’ve had. Beautiful pitching, shit hitting. Fuck
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
YES!!!! Goodnight Irene.
yes
Heeeeee!
The Bat! He got all of that one!
Back off the Ledge Dennis…..Pat the Bat just left earth!!!!!!!!!!
Let Dennis jump, the dumb cocksucker never learns.
It’s a good thing you don’t man the phones over at the Suicide Hotline. As Dangerfield used to say, “They put me on hold.”
“If we don’t homer, we DON’T score!”
Posey does his job drawing the walk, extending the count. Pat the bat does his: BAMMMMMMMM.
I find the game on Justin, take a quick bathroom break, and presto! a New World Order.
Welcome back, Yungo!
Chacin at 120 pitches. BP in 8th and 9th. Timmy faces the big test this inning. No more dink hits please. Solid ones either, for that matter. He has a lead to protect, unlike his last outing.
Hmmmm. Cable is out. This just won’t do….
Torres back nice to see.And fuck Barney the bender behind home plate always trying to fuck with Timmy.They should not allow that in baseball.Top of dugouts are fine but not directly in a pitchers vision.
good call, kat
I’m never one to look ahead because it’s just wrong in so many ways, but if remains the same, Timmy pitches the 9th. Let the record show.
Pawlie: WHERE did you find it on Justin? It’s not on Kostaz Justin.

triple play of kostazness
Thanx Pawlie.
If he looks strong, go for the CG.
agreed
He looks very strong. Bochy better let ’em finish this shit off.
This is Tim’s ballgame.
let’s get a Prudential or State Farm run or two
He looks strong.Let Tim go and finish this out.
Nope, Timmy is done by those reactions in the dugout. I better not have to be wishing Bochy a slow death while I’m on my ledge should this go awry.
I DO NOT like this call.
Watching on iPhone now, I officially bow down and smoke sabeans pole (virtually of course). He has put together a pitching staff for the ages. And raggs, bochy and Gardner deserve equal credit for how it’s been handled….
“Sorry we couldn’t find this stream” was my response from JustinK01. Oh well. Thanks for the info guys.
just copy and paste the link
stix, watch BW?
atdhe.net
I’m a nervous wreck.
The call was smart. We’ll see how it turns out now. Play for the win.
One out. Giambi on deck.
Pawlie: Running two different computers. Flap is on my old Mac. No insurance policy in effect. Need three outs. Cincinnati gets early 1-0 lead on Dagos.
congrats…thats how we do it
Yessssssssssssss!!!
He should of let Timmy pitch the 9th. 🙂
Well, I should take my own advice: trust the Bocher… brilliant save.
I be a happy man. WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWin!
Beautiful game. Great eight from Lincecum, fine save BW. Posey and Burrell show the heart at the heart of the order. Yes.
Yahoo so slow i learned whassup on the Flap. Yeah!
1-0 Reds
GO GIGANTES!!!!!
well, this breaks that 1917 record the White Sox set of 12 or whatever # of games giving up 3 of FEWER [not less] runs
Pawlie: Nope. White Sox in dead ball era had it going for 20. Giants now two up in modern era and aiming at that 20 with 18 currently. One thing for sure is that the September staff is probably the best in Giants history since the days of Christy Mathewson and Joe ‘Iron Man’ McGinty.
Thank god for Tampa bay’s direct deposit system. Still going through. Sweet.
so what is that? $70 million for second place. fuck the yankees
Yeah B-Wheezy throwing serious GAS!!!! Giants put a near finish dagger in Rocks,Come on Reds,i need a little relief from my pacemaker.Oh thanks for the start 1-0 Reds.
Reds up 1-0 on the Pods. Could be a really sweet day in Giants-land.
A grand total of 5 hits tonight in that “park” tonight. Pitching, pitching and more pitching.
Safe to say that Tim has found himself a nice groove. Sounds like all that in between starts work is really paying dividends. Keep doing what you’re doing. Hell, all this winning is even making Amy G. look and sound good. I must have Giants Fever. Catch it!
btw, I think Lincecum’s FB is picking up speed as his hair continues to grow.
Tim is deinitely better groomed. It’s put his head in order.
when were we last 20 games over .500? (and do not say the word that comes before 1994)
Twenty more wins than losses now at 87-67. Passed the Braves in overall record tonight. This one puts the Rox in one very deep hole. There was simply too much Timmy and then Wilson for the capper. Nice symmetry in numbers for those two at Lincecum with 15 wins and Brian with 45 saves. It did not come easy but its in the books.
Yahoo MLB page features Timmy in action with a grin on his mug and the headlining caption “A GIANT STEP”. “Tim Lincecum of the Giants was perfect through five innings, and he received just enough run support to beat the Rockies.” (story of our season)
Hah! Timmy claimed Juiced ball in the 6th. “juiced ball this is bullshit” and threw it back.
c’mon Joey Votto [and don’t look now but Phillies have won 11 in a row; peak too soon, SVP]
BW with an 8 pitch 1-2-3 s
I think we now know if Timmy thinks if the Rockies use the humidor or not.
Cheating motherfuckers!
Votto out w/ sinus infection; anyway, g’night, girls, and Woo-hoo to Ferrethead
Awesome to see Lincecum and Wilson dominate as season is winding down and the screws start to tighten.
VICTORY!!!
Sweet!!! Tim was dealing. Even though he was behind, the Giants did a good job with Chacin. At least they worked the counts a lot. Something that was refreshing to say the least.
Pat the Bat. Can’t say enough. . . He’s been here half a season, and has some monster shots of huge meaning. . . .
I hope 3bagger gets on camera this weekend with a “We know you rig the humidor” sign. Comcast SN might show it, especially if he and his family are wearing their Giants gear.
Apparently the pitchers know immediately, from the feel of the leather, when a ball is dry (and not humidified).
I regret that I’m not catching many games this week, so I don’t have much to say except it’s pretty damned cool to see the Giants 20 games over .500. I’ll admit, I’m not smart enough to figure it out … a ton of holes on this roster, and it’s not like the pitching staff is 2.5 for the year … but then again, for September it is even better!
OK, so I have nothing to say to everyone doesn’t know already, but I never thought this team would be 20-over this year, even if it made the playoffs. So … from now on, my name now refers to the rest of the division. Add a Padre defeat tonight, and may this be the last we see of the NL West. Tell Em All Goodbye.
And thanks to you all on the board for allowing me to catch up on all the juicy details from real fans.
Woo-Hoo!!!
Last time the Giants were 20 games above .500: Sunday, Oct 3, 2004.
Did a bit of stats tracking and just found out who happens to be currently the most unhittable pitcher in the game. Nope, it’s not Timmy, though he sure was that tonight. Lowest batting average against belongs to one Jonathan Sanchez with a .206 BA for opposing hitters. Second is Mat Latos of the Dagos with a .210. Sixth best is Matt the Horse with a nifty .220.
When your #4 starter is the hardest to hit in all of baseball it says something about the Rotation and the staff in general. Kudos to Bochy for sticking with his guns on the rotation and for keeping the BP fresh and active by resting his sterling starters in these closing weeks of the season.
It’s looking as if the most electrifying possibilities in the PS could be the Phillies Halladay, Oswalt and Hamels versus Timmy, Matt and (i would prefer) Sanchez. Yanks, Rays, Rangers and Twins have nobody to match that set. Getting ahead of myself here, but after tonight its looking more likely than not.
This thing on???
The appendectomy might have locked up the Willie Mac for Torres. He’d deserve a Gold Glove but playing all 3 OF positions will probably doom him.
WordPress was down for an hr. Fucked us on some celebration. It’s all good, win one this weekend and we win the division…
We live?
Hey. MLB network is showing the Pads/Cincy game. 3-3 biottom of the 7th one out, Arthur Rhodes now in . . .
Shit, 3-2 Cincy . . .
YES!!!!!
Huge win
Shit again. Rhodes gives up a single and a walk . . .
Had no idea Dick Enberg was SD’s TV guy . . .
1st and 3rd, two puts.
He three puts and we’re fucked!
4 put walk there.
Bases full, Dusty’s running out of toothpicks.
Tejada comes through . . .
