A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Thank you, Tampa Bay…….

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 25, 2010

Isn’t it amazing what one swing can do? If Pat swings through that pitch instead of blasting it into the bleachers, we would be sitting around bemoaning our crap offense trying to figure out how a first place team could get shut out seemingly every single game. And yet….One swing. Glory. Destiny…………

I never get tired of enjoying Tampa Bay paying for all of this…..

Ah, how cruel irony is. Zitman on the bump today. We win today and we basically knock Colorado out of the picture since they would be 5.5 back with 8 to play. How do you fight the inevitability of Zito’s Law? You get to bat against Jason Hammel.  The Rockies are stuck today, having to throw “dead arm” Hammel out there. If we win today that gives us 4 wins on the trip and I don’t see how we don’t steamroll this division with Cain going tomorrow and 6 to finish the season at home…..

“fucking juiced ball bullshit”– read his lips near the end of the clip..

    The old Mc Graw play…guy misses the sign and whacks the bomb. McGraw of course fined the guy. No way you give up outs unless it’s the pitcher hitting tho.

    Guillen to his credit actually made two good plays by backing up CF. Sf is not done yet. 10-8 might be conservative estimate.

    Perfect spot for an appearance by Beimel, too.

    I guess the umps are policing the humidor for once. Ross got one of the jiuced balls intended for the Rocks. No way that one should have gone out, but we’ll take it. I predicted 10-8 earlier, it might get higher than that….

    Looks like Ross may be up with the notion of returning to SF next year. This is his #1 contribution to date. Keep it up, Dude. If its a lumberyard lamination the Rox want, the Giants are ready to oblige. Bet our BP outlasts theirs.

  10. Michael's avatar Michael said, on September 25, 2010 at 7:17 pm

    Jesus, that was a pop up by Ross. If we have any ground ball pitchers, now’s the time.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on September 25, 2010 at 7:25 pm

      Pawlie, that’s Greg Papa. He’s doing it because he’s in town to call the Raiders/Cardinals game tomorrow as well. I’m sure in between innings he’s practicing his patented, “touchdown Rayyyyyyyduhhhs” for when they finally score in 4th, down 27-3.

    Reasonable lead. Four innings. Four better pitchers. Fuck the Humidor and bring this one home. Friggen Pads skanked another off the Reds. Time to show them they will need to win at China Basin to catch up. They may just catch up to catch of the day dining special in famous old Chinatown restaurant, not far from North Beach ~ place called Fat Shans.

    “Max Von Sydow must be watching this game”

    Did you know? Max made a total of 13 pictures with Ingmar Bergman. No relation of course to Ingrid. Who I’d imagine most find a tad bit better looking. But that’s only one man’s opinion. I’m sure Ingmar has his fans as well.

  33. xootsuit's avatar xootsuit said, on September 25, 2010 at 8:22 pm

    Hearing Greg Papa, the irredeemable downer, narrate this inning is fucking excrutiating torture. The guy’s genes (he’s related to that guy, Marv what’s his name) and contacts (ditto) don’t justify his jobs. He has a voice. Great. He’s a fucking asshole who would be nowhere if his older relatives hadn’t done something. That’s how he made to esteemed colleague status. Ridiculous system. So the game is tied and Greg Papa gets to luxuriate in it. Disgusting.

    Fucking Street’s favorite P growing up had to be the Eck. Has the same goddamn delivery, and he cheats the same way as Dennis did with having that mysterious crap on the bill of his cap. Makes me hate him even more passionately. Not to mention his first name being Houston. That’s a whole other subject.

    Well, I called 10-8, almost got it. This game was squirrelly from the get go. It had bad ending written all over it. I couldn’t tell easily, but Uribe looked like he could have had that Tulo drive. If FPutz says “Oppo Taco” on the post game show one more time, I’m looking for a hit man….

    This isn’t good. I’m in a real bad mood. Let me apologize in advance for things I’m probably going to say—now, later, during the Niner game tomorrow. Niner game tomorrow? Good luck with me during that. Where’s Carter, I need some more pills. My grandma always used to say that, “So-and-so has more something, than Carter has pills.” Well, gram, I could use some of those pills from Carter right bout now.

    So much for my homemade tacos, the Giants fucking ruined my appetite.
    Dennis has more uneaten tacos, then Carter has pills.

  65. Michael's avatar Michael said, on September 25, 2010 at 9:25 pm

    With all the talk about me being a numbers guy, it’s those who criticize that who are quickest to demonize failure. A price you pay for Pat’s bat is Pat’s glove. We’re fighting the fucking Dodgers for 4th without him. This was just a wild, wacky, Coors Field game, like those of old. There’s no blame.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 25, 2010 at 9:51 pm

      A rarity, but I totally agree. Burrell won last night’s tilt. Tonight, he helped lose it, but certainly not all his fault. This game had crazoid written all over it from the get go. When Ross hit that pop that turned into a dinger, you knew it was going to end crazy. If they can take it tomorrow, they win the series and 4-2 on the roadie. Anybody here would’ve taken that chance before they left for Chicago…

    I think we should keep Shitholtz on the post-season roster for his speed and late-inning defense.
    Skip Bumgarner now so we could use him in the post-season as well. Cain should start Game 1 of the NLDS.

    We control our own destiny with 7 games to. With the last 5 years this team (and us fans) have had, isn’t this where we wanted to be?

    Watched my kid play Pop Warner today. They had a Goal line stand to preserve a tie. OT they scored, missed PAT. We scored, PAT blocked on last play of OT. Sucked not to win, but great game. Giants season is the same. We will get them tomorrow..

  73. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on September 25, 2010 at 10:23 pm

    Loo, we gotta make a little wager for tomorrow’s “Battle Royale.” I was thinking maybe something blog related. If your Chiefs win, Flappers can talk all they want about post-season rosters before we clinch. My Niners win, NO post-season BS until we secure a spot. Not that everyone would adhere to it anyways. I dunno, Niners lose tomorrow and early post-season roster talk will be the last of my and many Niner fans worries. I don’t even want to think about it…

    Who was your all-time favorite Chief? Knowing you it’s probably some obscure corner back that I’ve never heard of. You had to love the old Boilermaker Lenny D. Everyone seemed to love old Lenny.

    If you can forgive me for missing the game, and if you can’t stand to recall it, tell me if there were any doubts about Wilson going out for the 10th. All I have is the boxscore and play-by-play, and since Wilson’s pitch count was up, and since he didn’t seem to be himself, and since he may well be needed Sunday, I was surprised to see him be sent out for a third time. It seemed unlikely that he would finish the 10th in any case.

    What was the feeling at the time? I’m sure there was a lot more to it if you were watching. Maybe it was known that no one else was available
