1.78 ERA/.182 BA against

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 1, 2010

Those are the pitching staff numbers for September–and that includes the 10-run Zits game in Colorado. Truly amazing and probably the best month of pitching by a staff ever (Elias?)…..

After the Yankees clinched a playoff spot, my daughter’s grandpa, a diehard Yankee fan, barely cleared his throat in celebration. “They’re playing horrible, we’ll win nothing this year,” he grumbled. After I told him that if the Giants make the playoffs I was going to die my hair black and party like it’s 1999, he just stared at me with a confused look on his face…..

I cannot fathom the depth of the depression I will sink into if we lose 4 straight to the Padres right now…….

There’s plenty of pressure on everybody anyway. This was Bochy’s worst mistake of the year.
- TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 8:59 pm
  
  Yeah, and didn’t he try to say it was for aligning the playoff rotation? But that doesn’t start until Thursday?
- wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:03 pm
  
  the entire staff made the decision.
  - Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:05 pm
    
    So? It was a joint fuck up.
  - wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:10 pm
    
    hindsight is always 20/20….like you said about zito…if Cain got lit up tonight, what makes you think he wouldn’rt have tomorrow?
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 8:58 pm

one word, thirteen syllables: ugh!
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 8:59 pm

Chip away Freddie
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:00 pm

OK, so at least now I KNOW what it takes to get Guillen out of the lineup
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:02 pm

the hint of a whisper of a suggestion of a sliver of hope; O Bobby Thomson, pray for us!
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:03 pm

Make no mistake … they hit the ball well enough to have a few runs. But Cain’s approach was unexplainable and his execution horrendous. Looked like he had never seen these guys before.
DJLoo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:10 pm

So is everyone shaving after this one?
Flavor said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:10 pm

Chris Ray, in trying to fit into the beard thing, can’t even do that right. He looks absurd….
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:11 pm

A crooked number this inning would be a very, very good thing.
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:12 pm

I think Ross starting for Guillen tomorrow is a given. Need to get Orson Welles back in there. He was heatin’ up. 1 fer 3 (HR) and a couple walks vs frozen lasagna. Need the little fat guy back in there. Wouldn’t be right to celebrate without him out there anyway.
- TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm
  
  Why is it a given? Guillen has stunk for at least 3 years and is a cripple, and it hasn’t mattered so far.
  
  Another annoying stat: Richard’s ERA against the rest of the league: 4.23.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:13 pm

James mentioned penalizing Torres for his OPB going down. Fair enough, but Huff has 6 HR 20 RBI the last two months… Torres, the lead off hitter, has 6 HR 20 RBI the last two months and he missed two weeks..
- wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:15 pm
  
  and playing in pain for a couple weeks…
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:16 pm

I called it.
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:16 pm

Rowand, tanned and rested
TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Is it just me or does Rowand hit better when he looks like he’s got a drunken stance?
Outstanding
wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

how ’bout that…Rowand!
Flavor said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Weirdest fucking game ever….
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

How the fuck did I call Aaron Rowand? I just had a feeling.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Game on, Gamer!
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm

I feel realy good for Aaron. Nice, dude.
- TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:19 pm
  
  Yes. That was nice
TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:21 pm

Webb’s thrown a shitload of wild pitches
BUT NEVER WHEN A GIANTS’ ON BASE!
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:21 pm

Aaron Rowand? Anythings possible now.
TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Bochy’s in full on “hunch” mode.
Worked so far
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:24 pm

Why did Bochy PH the fat guy? He’s 1 for 2 (HR) off of Webb. Bad move.
- delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:25 pm
  
  “didn’t”
max808 said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:26 pm

Would be a good idea to get it done before Gregerson Adams and Bell…
- DJLoo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:28 pm
  
  Oh my!
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:29 pm

We tie this, and . . . I dunno what I’ll do. Wake up and pick up my dog and kiss it?
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:30 pm

“It’s Magic Inside.”
wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:30 pm

take it!!!
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:30 pm

muthafuckin orange magic!
max808 said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:31 pm

C’mon Fruckster.
wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Andres might steal…really get the place rockin
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Hell yes…Send Torres,atleast hit and run force the action.
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:35 pm

Just keep chipping away
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:35 pm

Alright back in the game.That’s all that matters,Bullpen needs shutdown innings.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:36 pm

ok, win or lose, we’ve made a statement…and we know we CAN win. (I don’t even know what that means.)
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:38 pm

REALLY critical to shut ’em down here, and quickly.
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:41 pm

“NOta!”
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:42 pm

NOta Bene!
wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:42 pm

great job Mota…hope we get to ph for him this inning…
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:42 pm

Wow Mota Impressive.Very Impressive.
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:43 pm

I know I’m repeating myself but,

A crooked number this inning would be a very, very good thing.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:43 pm

As inconsistent as he’s been, Mota had what at the time was THE key save of the year-a 4 out job against the Bums after Burrell’s HR..
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Great 2 innings of work for Senor Mota.Time to tap in to some Samuel Adams.
TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Fontenyes
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:01 pm

C’mon Orson!
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:02 pm

Time for a little Kung Fu You.
- Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:03 pm
  
  Jinxed it, dang it.
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:07 pm

See i told you all Fag arm Eckstein can’t make the throw.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:19 pm

The good news, if they don’t rally tonight: Zito won’t faceplant until the postseason. I’d expect a good outing romorrow then an unfortunate and unexplained boating mishap..
- delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:23 pm
  
  Yeah, his boat will get “launched” Game 3 in Atlanta.
  - Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:26 pm
    
    Quit saying that, I might be going to that game.
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Honestly …. you DO expect a good outing? I don’t know why, but it’s good enough for me. Tonight anyway.
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:27 pm

Alright boys and girls, let’s do this and start this fucking party.
max808 said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:27 pm

Bell is due. His last blown save was May 26th.
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:29 pm

Just one swing…
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:29 pm

See. Gonzales aint so tough. Cain was determined to throw him fastballs. Yes, that is Cain’s bread and butter, but we never saw the change or the outside curve with 2 strikes.

Oh well …moving on
Macdog said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:31 pm

Runt fuck!
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:32 pm

Speechless.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:32 pm

You can’t do that, Fruckie. Your run meant nothing.
alleykat said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:33 pm

What a Fruck up!!!!
Bozo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Get em tomorrow.
wswinb4igo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:34 pm

brutal franchez…what a freak the rf is there to get it tho…get em tomorrow
- DJLoo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:35 pm
  
  or the day after…
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Ross in RF and the little fat guy at 3B for tomorrow.
max808 said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Inexplicable. Oh well. Get ready for some serious arm wiggling tomorrow. Maybe they can figure out Stauffer.
- DJLoo said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:37 pm
  
  What’s inexplicable were Cain’s “room service” fastballs…
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:38 pm

I’da pinch hit for Cain in the third, as I said. Might have been a tie game if he had.
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:38 pm

I think that’s 4 straight L’s with the orange jerseys. Enough of that shit. They’ve long worn out their welcome and magic.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:38 pm

They’ll cook Stauffer, 8-3 Giants. They swung the bats well tonight, too. Like to see Ross, Sandoval, and Fontenot (for Fruckie)..
delmardennis said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:40 pm

Willie Mac night. Pitching on your birthday. They don’t even write that shit in Hollywood.
max808 said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:42 pm

It’s Zito. They only need 4 runs. 🙂
- Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 11:45 pm
  
  About 25 percent of the time with SIX runs he still ends up with a no decision.
Macdog said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:50 pm

Damn party-poopers. Alright, this is why Zito gets paid the really, really, really, really big bucks. I hope.
TedSpe said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:51 pm

Written in the voice of Richard Burton:
Friends, Flappers, Countrymen, lend me your…eyes
I come to bury the Padres, not praise them.
The evil that men do lives after them. The good iis often interred with their bones. The noble Padres feel ambitious. If it were so, it is a grievous fault.
Fuck ’em!
Come I to…type of the inevitable division winning of the Giants.
But here I am to type what I *do* know.
You all did love the Giants once-not without cause. What cause withholds you, then, to love the Giants now?
Matt Cain was robbed of a perfect birthday gift.
But trusteth in the Zito. Logic fails my common sense. But my ill hernia sayeth…
The Giants shalt division title win.
No fucking way they lose 4 in a row!!!!!!!!!
Goodnight, gentlemen(question mark)
Unca Chuck said, on October 1, 2010 at 10:59 pm

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh fuck . . . .

I’m out.

One time, bubble boy . . .
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 11:05 pm

Fruckie’s misplay opened the door and then how in the name of Lucifer Lourdes do you throw Gonzales the SECOND pitch up after he missed a hanger just before? You bounce that motherfucker 20 feet in front of the plate first. Whoever it’s on-take your pick- idiot.
TellItGoodbye said, on October 1, 2010 at 11:06 pm

And the first inning hit, while not scorched, was in the same place.
Michael said, on October 1, 2010 at 11:40 pm

Looked at the replay, Buster wanted it down. Matt only missed by about 3 feet.
