Game 1, 6:37pm…….
Hmmmm…I’m kinda excited for the game tonight. Not really sure how I’m gonna burn the time off before first pitch—I have to go to work and, obviously, take care of my daughter’s basic needs, although by game time I’m not sure how high up we’re gonna go on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs pyramid:
maybe I’ll hit the gym, too…..
But other than all that, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to tolerate the seconds that are ticking off my life even as I type this. I’m sitting here with my dyed black head and my best Giants jersey hanging neatly pressed nearby and all I’m doing is waiting. Just waiting. Still waiting……..
I guess we can bide our time by marveling at the playoff roster at 10am. Then you guys get to fight it out for who can post the line up here first. That’s always fun. Beers will probably be getting popped open by many of you before the customary whistle blow at 5pm. And then we’re just about there, right?
Let’s just throw this out there: Our playoff history sucks. SF has never won a crown. We’ve ultimately lost every series we’ve played in– some were dramatic losses (the 2002 WS), others I barely remember (the 1997 series v Florida) and others were just plain weird (the ’89 Earthquake series). But in the end, they were all losses. But there have been amazing, wonderful playoff memories that I’ll never forget. My favorite playoff moment was the Will Clark grand slam bomb that he launched deep into the Chicago night sky. I was watching the game with some friends in my dorm room at Lewis and Clark and got so excited about that hit that I jumped out our 2nd story window, saved from major injury by one of Mother Nature’s trees. That’s the feeling i want to have to have tonight. And luckily, we live in a one level house so I’m good to go as far as that goes…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Whew!
Phucking Phew
Is having E-D a prerequisite to getting laid?
Timmy had it all under control!!
Alright boys and girls, tie those shoelaces tight. It’s going to be dinger time.
Whew. 72-5 when we lead after 7.
Suffice to say we’d all feel a skosh more comfortable with a little insurance.
Blade, thanks man I appreciate that. I’m on work travel and internet is like gold. Shit I am lucky to get a cot.
I was lucky to get Cot Deal’s autograph once.
De Nada Dirt . . . Sort of chuckling here – I tried the Justin site earlier and it was off, but went back to it after wsw mentioned it above. Much better than the Taiwan feed (no subtitles. Ha).
Venters is pretty good.
OK my bad. Next at bat two Giant homeruns.
Gutsy move to let Timmy bat. But with Venters pitching, it may not have made any difference to bring in a PH. Had Ross got on things may have been done differently.
Johnny Venters just might have the filthiest shit coming outta any bullpen.
He’s one Kentuckian who’ll make many a player look like horseshit.
I would let Timmy finish this shit off. It’s his game. Just a tad over a 100 pitches.
Let Timmy go for the CG shutout I say.
No fucking way . . . We’ll need him for the other series (if we get that far). Our bullpen is “lights out,” hoping Botch man doesn’t take that bait.
Fucking Lincecum. What a motherfucker
Timmy!!
Timmy!!!
The haircut at Ralphie’s Kustom Kut was the turning point for the Timster..
A no hitter yesterday, 12 k’s for timmy setting as sf playoff record tonight. This is playoff history my friends. Enjoy it. Revel in it. Just keep your fucking windows closed whilst you do it….
He’s called The Franchise. He’s called The Freak. Right now he’s Tim Terrific.
I’d let Tim pitch the 9th because I’m not worried about pitching Bum in Game 4, and let’s just make sure there isn’t a game 4 anyway.
But I’ll understand if Bochy goes to Wilson.
But you have Wilson warming up of course…
Nevermind.
Awesome performance from TL. But I’d turn it over to Wilson now. Save Tim for possible game 4.
Again, I second that.
Save him for Game 4? Fuck that shit. Bochy isn’t thinking about that. Win Game 1 first.
And you do that with Timmy pitching the 9th.
4 pathetic pokes to the right side for Sanchez. ugh
WELL WHICH IS IT????
Gee Dick,Maybe because Tim K’s alot a guys once he gets 2 strikes you moron.12K’s. Man i wish we had another run.I would love to see Tim finish.But odds are it’s Wilson.What a great pitching effort by Timmy!!!!
Bit of a surprise Cox using Moylan here. Giants hit him earlier this year.
I don’t care how good Wilson is, Lincecum is better. So … Lincecum goes out for the 9th to nail down a HUGE Game 1.
Bochy has done a masterful job of handling Timmy for 3+ years now. Bochy is the perfect manager for Tim to have had. I feel good about Tim’s well-being with Bochy.
Stockton don’t know shit Timmy’s got a CG in him.
Stockton a fucking boob, Chuck. I’m sure you heard him last Sunday doing the 49er game.
He needs more meds than I do.
Buster’s going to take this chump deep anyway…
The only reason u so this is to send a message. Shut those fuckers down with one guy. But either wilson or Timmy would end this easily.
I think Stockton called Dempsey’s 63 yarder…
When it’s time for a change….
Well, some people when they sneeze…kinda poop
That’s physics.
Cox is using all his relief corps for this game.
I can read lips.
Huff said “Yeah, like I’m fucking stealing”
and . . . “WTF was I thinking?”
Bad actor
WTF was that? Did Buster miss a H&R?
Jesus H. Christ that was fucking stoopid of Huff if he was just trying to steal.
Shit. here we go…looks like Timmy is coming out. 79-3 when we lead after 8.
When a baserunner gets thrown out trying to steal, it always looks like a bad move.
He was as safe as Posey
Relax. This is all getting handled by timmy
Whaddya mean “we” white boy?
This should be interesting
Braves trying to get something going here? Hey Dick who was batting ?I believe it was the Giants!! IDIOT!!!!!!
Gimmee three outs, gimmee three outs, baby…..
I believe
I guess Tim said he wanted this. I’m cool with that.
1 down, 2 to go.
Whew . . .
Sit your ass down.
LINCECUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Timmy, you are the fucking man.
Fucking stud.
Timmy!
Woo-Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fan-Freakin’-Tastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lincecum for Mayor!
congrats…LInCY
Suberb. I’m in awe.
We Win!!! 1-0
My goodness, what a performance… one for the ages.
Masterful Job by Tim!!!! Gee i think we have a lock on POTG.
Agree with the announcer (whoever it is) that the 1 run lead felt like 10 runs with Lincecum dealin’ . . .
Timmy showed a national TV audience what those two Cy Young awards were all about.
Eerily similar to Schmidt’s Game One gem vs FLA in 2003.
Let’s hope Cain can outdo Ponson’s miserable Game Two….
I do not believe it. After the rocky first inning, how in the hell did Lincecum do that? In one way I’m lucky I’m not at the park tonight. If I were, I would have no voice at all tomorrow. As it is, I’ll be hoarse. Fucking beautiful game.
Totally classic. Hope my new computer is back to connexion with the net when Timmy faces off against Halladay. Cox ran out all his guns. Didn’t matter. ROYs double and run scored was all it took. How’s the fingernail’s gang?
Bochy, had, he fucking had to let Tim finish this off. It was his night, it was his stage.
The night belonged to Tim. Wow.
I was wrong Den . . . good call 🙂
Tense till the end, but we know torture surrenders to rapture. Beautiful. That’s baseball. That’s how to pitch and how to find a way to win. G’night, girls.
‘Nite Shirley
Those 14 K’s must rank pretty high in post-season performances. Bet the lights go out in Georgia real fast tonight.
I remember Gibson’s 17, and Koufax’ 15…
If you don’t get on line,Stix, send me your phone # again. I’ll call you tomorrow.
Magnificent.
10 more boys and girls. We just need 10 more wins.
Fucking brilliant
Listening to Timmy on the post-game interview (“I’m still in game mode”), he was so amped he was not going to lose; he sounded as if he was ready for seven more innings, a la Juan Marichal, 1-0, against Warren Spahn. Put it on the highlight reel.
Retired 18 of the last 19 batters!!
Oh and by the way. Did Bobby Cox think this was an All-Star game and he had to get everyone in?
Again, Mag-fucking-nificent.
By the way.
All you cynics?
Posey was safe.
Goodnight, gentlemen (question mark)
Do we resemble that re mark?
Blade, that was brenly who said that.
Thanks GH . . . and he was unequivocally correct. No one was going to deny Mr. Lincecum tonight.
wow that was sweet.
Eckersley actually just made a good point. Tim didn’t go to the change-up that often tonight.
I think with Lincecum is hard to identify the pitches sometimes, because his “change-up” is actually a split-fingered pitch. Not the usual circle change-up that pitchers throw.
Hell, why would he? They made Panda look disciplined the way they were going after those breakers in the dirt.
