Anyone think this is ending in 4 games?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 11, 2010

Torture doesn’t end before it’s time, right? Ending this in four games would be….well, I’m not going to say anything about it being easy, that got me in trouble last time. It would be an “ironic surprise”. How about that? I’ve got no idea what happens tonight. The smart money would say the Braves are emotionally crippled after last night’s game and to bet the Giants hard on the win. But the smart money doesn’t know torture the way we know torture…. Anyway, it looks like a low scoring game so I took the over (7) cause the under looked too, well, *easy*.

I left the last thread up instead of deleting a bunch of posts but please don’t bring that onto this thread……..

Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought, that it’s a crime so I will ask you once again
GIANT?
Yes.
GIANTS!!

I guess it’s not so much the chop that bothers me as much as the chant
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:37 pm

Our lineup sucks! And I’m sure glad we put Whitey on the post-season roster.

Donkey punch.

  Unfortunately, Verna and Vera caught the wrong plane Saturday and ended up in Arlington
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:38 pm

Now go kick the livin’ shit outta these Braves!
Craig said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:38 pm

Torres swings a 35 inch 37 ounce bat. That’s insane, he should drop down a bit
- TedSpe said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:40 pm
  
  Really. That’s about the same dimensions as FSanchez
- TedSpe said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:40 pm
  
  The man. Not the bat
- snarkk said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:43 pm
  
  Agreed. It’s the biggest lumber on the team. I think he should switch with Rohand. Seriously. I think if Rohand had a bigger, heavier bat he would do better, hit more to center and right. His bat has always looked too short to me, but he stands right over the plate to make up for it…

MadBum time
Craig said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:42 pm

Wswin stfu. I told you not to bring that bulkshit over there. I’m not deleting that because it would require me getting up and going into the other room. Knock it the fuck off.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Damn, Lowe-down sinkerballer gets through the first unscathed.
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:44 pm

You were instructed by Flavor not to continue it here.
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:45 pm

I like that move by Buster right there; went to go tell Bum (I think) you got way too much plate on that 0-2 pitch. Not that shit off.
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:46 pm

I think WSW just told his host to kiss his ass. My goodness.
Flavor said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:47 pm

Fuck it I’ll just delete it from my ph. I don’t want to deal with this shit I want to watch the gm. No more posts that I have to delete or you’re banned

Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:48 pm

Note to Braves: try Burrell in the second.
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:51 pm

I think the gun there is at least 5 mph fast.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:51 pm

Braves going for the downs against MB there in the first ~ couldn’t quite get enough pull on the ball.

Kevin said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:56 pm

I don’t know, starting pitching has been outstanding, if the bullpen had held it together on Friday there would not be a game 4. When the Giiants scored 4 runs on Friday I thought that game was over!! So I can not even predict this one. I would like to think it is over tonight.
Flavor said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Nice one bird dog…
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 4:59 pm

If Bum holds them early, our pen is much fresher than theirs.
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:00 pm

Maybe it should be “Don’t Stop Relieving”…
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Love it!! Heyward doesn’t remember what a base hit feels like!!
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:03 pm

It’s nice to see all those women in the stands practicing their hand-job technique.
- TedSpe said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:05 pm
  
  More of a warmup than an actual techique. Dimension-wise
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:05 pm

Horrible decision with two outs ( that’s for Brenly, you idiot. No “double play ball”)…
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:05 pm

Font has to know who’s running. Glaus? throw the damn ball to first.
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:06 pm

Announcers don’t know there are 2 outs.
snarkk said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:08 pm

Nice sequence by Bum to get out of it…
TedSpe said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:08 pm

Phew
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Bum’s one cool cat…
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:09 pm

I’d feel a hell of a lot better if Ross would look that ball into his glove
xootsuit said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Well, that ain’t no Brooks Fontenot we got out there. Now MadBum’s pitch count is higher than it had to be. Maybe Font will make up for it at the plate.
freshtodef80 said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Early Torture.
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Smart. CANNOT let the 8 hurt you with two outs.
- delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:13 pm
  
  If I were the manger in that situation, I’d issue the IW.
  I’m not taking any fucking chances. Hurt the Braves in Game 1 when Lowe gave Ross sumthin’ to hit.
alleykat said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:12 pm

Get your head out of your ass out of your mouth Brenly.DP ball on a force play?Nice work by Bum to settle down after the error.
Ih1978 said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:14 pm

Everyone’s pressing swinging way too early
max808 said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:15 pm

Why don’t the G’s step out of the box, walk around and fiddle with their gloves to slow Lowe down? Clearly he’s pumped on Adderall and wants to work fast.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:16 pm

Mad’s no slouch at the plate. Wish some of those hackers couldda worked a full count on Lowedown.
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:20 pm

That’s what sucks about being 4′ 10. No offense Loo.
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:25 pm

Great AB my ass. He whiffed on a 3-0 BP fastball…
freshtodef80 said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Stockton’s an idiot.
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Where are the obligatory close-ups of Zito in the dugout?
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:28 pm

Sorry, TBS heads: 1st and 2nd no one out and they get one is no fantastic job. Giants are fine with it.Me too.
alleykat said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:31 pm

Nice work by Bum,holding them to 1 run there.Still pitching solid ball.Need to get these damm bats swinging at better pitches.
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:31 pm

Bum’s been nails with runners on from the get-go. .233 BA against with runners on, .222 w/RISP.
TellItGoodbye said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:33 pm

If we’re committed to swinging at balls all night, could someone please at least try to test the cripple playing third?
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:34 pm

BB has called Derek Lowe, Derek “Lee” not once, but TWICE.

If he goes for a third, he’ll match his 3-error in an inning fiasco. Lucky for him he won that game.
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:36 pm

Totally on Fruckie. Gotta make contact.
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:36 pm

bad jump, worse swing
alleykat said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:42 pm

Promising inning,Ends in Torture.Agree Tizzle Torres has to get a better jump there,but Fruck’s also needs to make contact.Frustrating especially after it was 3-0 on Sanchez and the 4th pitch called by Winters was questionable.
TellItGoodbye said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:43 pm

I’m starting to see why Lowe’ ERA was under 1 for the season. … What? It wasn’t? Hmmm … he just threw 2 actual strikes the whole inning and faced the minimum. That’s pretty good
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:44 pm

Pitch counts starting to get up there. Bumgarner’s is worse, but Lowe will be feeling it pretty soon. Both these guys are usually good for about six innings. Would be nice if our hitters could get to Lowedown next go round.
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:45 pm

I’m not putting anything on Torres. Bad jump but it’s not a straight steal and he really has to go even if he doesn’t get a good read. Sanchez got a hit me pitch and missed. Hell Huff got two of them, including a called strike 3
Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:46 pm

Close, Tellit.. right about 1 the last few weeks.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:47 pm

Betcha Lowedown’s pretty proud of his no-no through 4. On the other hand Giants hitters have no current cause for pride.
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:48 pm

anyone have a read on number of pitches for lowe?
- Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:51 pm
  
  63.
  - Michael said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:52 pm
    
    61 for Madbum thru 4.
- delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:52 pm
  
  63 thru 5.
  - tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:56 pm
    
    thx. Seemed to matter more before that 6 pitch inning
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:50 pm

one of the few bad ABs on the year for Burrell. Lowe’s got it going
alleykat said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Shit 6 pitch inning.And only the 1st pitch to Posey was a good one.Total crappy approach at the plate,swinging at total garbage.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Hacking and whiffing ain’t gonna get it done.
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:53 pm

One of the few bad ABs for Uribe in, well…his last few ABs
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:55 pm

We have a better chance scoring off of Johnny Venters tonight than we do off Lowe.
Cocksucker has no-hitter going after five. A no-hit, no-run game for Lowe after five innings.
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:56 pm

disagree on the no hitter. Torres’ ball was a hit, IMO. Not that it matters
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:58 pm

I think a bunt base hit to Glaus would piss everybody off. Do it, Font.
unca_chuck said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Time to score 3…
- tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:59 pm
  
  wow, that’s bold Cotton!
TellItGoodbye said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Unending mystery for a non ballplayer like myself … pitch coming in below the belt … only has one place to go (out of the strike zone) when the guy virtually never throws a pitch that doesnt sink or curve … they swing at it anyway. I guess the arent convinced that each pitch wont be the firs straight pitch he’s thrown in his life?
As I say … I couldnt even hit the straight ones. But I sure as hell never even tried to hit the bendy ones:-)
unca_chuck said, on October 11, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Fuck, Lowe is dealing . . . .
ferrethead said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:01 pm

Cod-yyyyyyyyy!!!!!! Chop that, Mother Fuckers!!!!
DJLoo said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:01 pm

CODY COW!!!
delmardennis said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:01 pm

There’s goes Lowe’s no-hit, no-run game courtesy to you by Cody Ross and yours truly. 😀
alleykat said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:01 pm

Take that Lowe!!! Ross delivers Bigtime HR!!!!!!!!!
tizzle said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:02 pm

Love what Ross did. Lowe has been putting quite a few down the middle on the first pitch, and then nibbling after that. Great approach, better execution
max808 said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:03 pm

yeow! I think he just got tendered.
stixwiz said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:03 pm

Lowedown still working on a one-hitter.
unca_chuck said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:04 pm

Finally some one hit that 1st fatty he’s been throwing all game.
unca_chuck said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:05 pm

Come on. One more jack, Torres . . .
unca_chuck said, on October 11, 2010 at 6:06 pm

wooooooooooooo

Do it Andres…
