A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Game 3 Gut Check Time

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 19, 2010

I’m quite bummed this morning. Not only have I been receiving daily texts or calls from friends celebrating the tickets they got for today’s game, but I have to endure the indignity of not even being able to watch the game. I’ll have it on the radio in my office but it won’t be the same and I have so many things to do today I might not even get to HEAR most of it. And I can’t dvr it because too many people would end up blowing it for me with texts like “OMG!” “PANDA!” “Fucking umpire!”….Oh well, you guys will just have to will this game home for me. That’s what I really think is going to happen. Matt Cain WILL *will* this game home for us today. 2-0, 3-1, something like that. Ok, just get him1 run. At least.

I’m loosely confident that our offense will get back on track at ATT. Actually, that’s not true, it’s fake confidence. This must be how Zito feels every time he throws a pitch……

So go get ’em Cainer. I couldn’t have more faith in you. And at the end of the day, faith in yourself and those who believe equally in you is all that matters. It’s just a game, don’t forget that guys. Sometimes there are more important things in life to consider….2 flaps up from Flapper Nation……

    Grab some pine, MEAT!

    Hey, Bozo. Cole Hamels is pitching a perfect game. That’s right, he’s allowed no hits, no runs, no walks, no nothing.

    • ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:23 pm

      Fuck Hamels! Time to wax his ass with a couple of runs!

  2. Bozo's avatar Bozo said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:23 pm

    Hey Dennis – This guy Cole Hamels is pitching a no hitter for the Phils. Can you believe it? He hasn’t allowed a hit or a run. Dennis, have you ever seen anything like that. My god man, a no hitter.

  3. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:23 pm

    posey has to try and drive that outside pitch the other way like he did earlier in the season. swinging for the fences?

  8. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    When that jinx works on the pitcher, I really feel like we here made the difference.
    It can’t be proven otherwise.

    WTF was Buster swinging at? C’mon the Bat! Pick up your teammate.

    Long way to go but didn’t the Fox crew tell us the Giants didn’t even need to show up, the game was lost? Pretty good looking LU changes for Bonehead…

  27. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:37 pm

    Shut down inning time, Matty . . .

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:41 pm

      I’m pretty sure the Horse lead the league in shut down inning % [no jinx]

    Loving it!!! And no hr’s! How novel.

  29. Michael's avatar Michael said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    And they didn’t show it but Rent had to get a killer jump on Fruckie’s bunt. That had force out written all over it..

  30. max808's avatar max808 said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:43 pm

    That wasn’t smart

  31. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:45 pm

    Good throw gets ’em. Buster not having a good day.

  32. max808's avatar max808 said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:46 pm

    Whew, no problem with Utley today.

  33. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:47 pm

    High heat. Lay off it Buster . . .

  50. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 2:57 pm

    Interesting, they threw him all outside stuff first two at bats and now it’s all in.

  51. ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:02 pm

    Cainer with 86 so far. Keep losing my damend radio feed…fuck the TV.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:04 pm

      With 10 days of rest, the Horse is good for 125 no problem.

  52. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:03 pm

    You just knew for all the flack they catch, Rowand and Renteria would contribute today.
    It’s them tellin’ us bitch and moaners to STFU!

    • ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:07 pm

      I love it Dennis…I think you’re right. It’s their “bitch-slap” on all of us!

  53. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:07 pm

    Another shut down inning form the Horse. He’s got a 3 length lead at the 1/4 pole as he turns for home.

  54. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:07 pm

    I’m thinking cain gets one more inning, unless it’s a quick one. evne then they’ll bring in a ph and it’ll be top of the order (or is that odor?) for the 4th time.

    time to shake out some arms.

  55. ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:08 pm

    Pat the Bat, The Man, and Huffster…let’s make some more noise!

  56. Michael's avatar Michael said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:08 pm

    My thought right now is you go as far with Cain as he says he’s good for-as posted last night- this is our Jack Morris. And I think one of our guys is still going to run into one…

    • ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:10 pm

      I like that vibe, Twin (one of our guys is still going to run into one…)…

  57. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:17 pm

    see how this inning goes and if rowand or uribe get on.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:19 pm

      If Bochy pinch hits for the Horse in the B7, I’ll throw a fucking conniption shitfit.

  58. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:17 pm

    That’s what Dirrrty should have done the other night—catch the pop up! That unwritten rule about the pitcher getting outta the way is asinine. Granted that pop up wasn’t as high as the other one but Hamels took charge and waved everyone away. ALL pitchers should do the same.

  59. TedSpe's avatar TedSpe said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:19 pm

    I see they reversed the error and gave The Runt a hit

  60. Kevin's avatar Kevin said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:20 pm

    Yep sitting here at work, staring at the MLB web site. GO Giants.

  61. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:20 pm

    that’s not good

  62. ferrethead's avatar ferrethead said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:20 pm

    Move your butt, Ruiz – I thought they had to at least try to avoid getting hit! I call B.S.!!!

  63. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:27 pm

    BIGGGGGG pitch!

  64. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    Masterful job by Cain!!! Take a seat as Lopez and the Pen take it home from here.

    Hooooooooooo boy . . . !

    Matty gives us a little taste of torture . . .

  67. Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:30 pm

    I just got out of work and raced to a sportsbar to catch the last 3 innings. Love it that bochy left Cain in there…

  68. ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:32 pm

    Hell yes, Flavor. I agree. Cain is a horse…

  69. Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:33 pm

    My buddy who posts as bird dog flew down from portland for the game with his 10 yr old son. They got a fucking ball! Unreal, I’ve always wanted to score one

  70. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:33 pm

    Annnnnnnd down the stretch they come! It’s still the Big Horse with a 3 length advantage at the 1/8 pole.

  71. Unca Chuck's avatar Unca Chuck said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:33 pm

    Loogy time coming up . . .

  72. ewisco's avatar ewisco said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:35 pm

    double switch?

  73. ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    That’s cool as hell that they got a ball. All the years I have been going to games, and have yet to score a ball…

    Let’s go Lopez!

  74. alleykat's avatar alleykat said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    You can have your shit fit now Dennis…But it’s the right call.Cain was at 118 pitches…Phils have Utley Howard coming up bring in the Loogy no Brainer…And i don’t care if Planco is between the two in the order,Lopez pitches the whole 8th.

    • ChiPower's avatar ChiPower said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:40 pm

      I agree, Kat! Lopez has been magic.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:40 pm

      No shitfit. I made the comment before the last dozen or so pitches. And, yes, LOOGY goes the full 8th.

  75. Del Mar Dennis's avatar delmardennis said, on October 19, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    Uribe is either still hurt, still in a slump or both. I want Orson at third and Rent at short for tomorrow.
