In the Drivers Seat…..
We lead 2 games to one (how’s that Philly in 5 pick coming along, Mitch?) and who isn’t looking for us to go up 3 games to one? Big Fat Joe Blanton hasn’t lost since July 22nd? Another example of why wins and loses are nearly meaningless stats to analyze a pitcher. His ERA on the road was 5.47 and opponents hit .292 off him. In his 3 career ATT starts he’s got a “Tyler Walker–esque WHIP of 1.58 with the Giants hitting at a .318 clip. Blanton is the kind of guy your struggling hitters get healthy on. He’s an innings eater but looking at his physique that’s hardly all he eats…..Meanwhile, we’ve got our stud lefty going against a team that can’t hit lefties……3 and 1 never looked so good…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
You motherfuckkmg piece of shit
Here I am again. Leave the Fucking starter in the game!!!!!!
The fucking starter was getting lit up. It was time to get him out.
Fucking Gomez smokes pole.
That wasn’t Gomez…
Anyone who fucks up gets labeled “Gomez” in my book.
Huffster gets one back!
Rollins bails out casilla. The ugliness of casilla is always lurking. But, lots of innings left. We’re all good
At least the missed strike 3 didn’t burn us.
Casilla looked like he tried to quick pitch on that wild pitch. You could tell he was fuckin distracted and pissed. Bochy cannot put him in now with men on. Only come in to start an inning. Gave them an extra run…
Hope springs eternal, or even semi-eternal. [What a clusterfuck of a half-inning.]
We got 5 innings to get back in. Just do it….
It’s as much on Bum as anyone else, he needed to get the out after the big play by Rowand/Buster. 4-2, 5 innngs to get ’em. Doable for sure.
my wife was barking at me, why did they bring in Casillas? he vacuums! and i’m saying he’s done well all year. and she says, he vacuumed in PA in just this situation.
and then, he vacuumed.
Well, it’s about time we saw Bastardo! I like our chances in a BP vs. BP game.
6 hits in 5 innings is not lit up. Our starters are dominating. Every time they get in a little trouble the hook comes, and bullpen has blow a few. I wasn’t on the board yesterday during the game. Were there any comments saying “Cain gave up 2 runners in the 7th. Get him out of there….Shock of shocks the starter got out of his own mess. If Bum in 7th a different story, but not with 85 pitches in the 5th. We had gotten back mo from Rowand / buster and gave it all back and more.
4 hits in one inning is getting lit up, which is why Bochy pulled him out.
Not to mention it was a RH hitter up. No brainer there.
And Cain is a 26 year old, 5 year veteran, while Bum is a 21 year old rook. If you can’t see the difference, there’s no hope for you. Clearly, Bochy agrees.
This is a heavyweight fight…
How does Rent get thrown out on that booted grounder? Gawd, he is slow or got out of the box like molasses. Way to go, Huffster…
It was a rocket.
Looks like a barnburner, eh?
Getting 1 there was huge. This is reminding me of Rocky 2
Hung that 3-2 curve and Buster with the whiffff. Son of a bitch.
Thats insane. I reference rocky 2 and that dude rocky beat shows up in the next commercial. I don’t usually watch commercials, maybe that’s a common one. Still, to me, that was crazy
Had to strike that little fat bastard out twice. Bell bend us over on that non 0-2 call.
Nice recovery inning by Casilla. We have to come back here against Durbin. Time for someone to do a little yard work.
I take back all I’ve said about *quiet* AT&T crowds. I plan to be there next week. Even if it’s along the Arcade, strolling like a boulevardier.
Cody 2 for 11 and Orson 2 for 3 vs Durbin.
Holy Shit. Cody Ross is just plain out of hand.
Doesn’t matter what bat Wonder boy swings it’s a hit.This game has shootout at the OK corral written all over it.
That ball hit the chalk. We got fucked. C’mon Orson, don’t let it get ya down.
All hail the fat little bastard!
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Yes Yes Yes.
Yeah, bury these motherfuckers!
I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt happier for another Human being than Pablo sandoval when he hit 2nd base
rays of nuclear happiness emanated from him like a mystical explosion
I knew he’d come through tonight, I just knew it. Bless his fat fucking heart.
Philly got some bad scouting reports. What a rocket! Charlie leaving this guy in?
The huge hit Panda needed!!!! Giants Rock!!!!!…Oh yeah Panda is as much popular as you are not McCrapper!
Damm it Ishi….Have to atleast get the Fat Boy to 3rd there.
That look on panda’s face was pure fight n he comes thru w/ the double.
Weak Ass AB’s by the Giants after Panda’s double.That extra run would have been huge there.
Our situational hitting has sucked, still sucks and will continue to suck. But who gives a shit about that now….
LOOGY RULES ! !
2 fat pitches popped up by Torres and Sanchez.
Wow, LOPEZ!!!
He can pitch to Howard in the 8th, then it’s Wilson? Romo? Ramirez?
Just what Doctor Lopez ordered a sweet DP.
Max… Boch will probably go for the 5 out save with Wilson.
I don’t think Bochy has much confidence in anyone now but Lopez and Wilson. I know I don’t.
Checking email (refuse to listen to GBA, anywhere) and trending on Yahoo is …Florence Henderson…Dennis, you didn’t
I’ve been home all day. I’ve got a material witness to prove my whereabouts.
They still allow felines to take the stand don’t they?
Pablo’s double looked like the drives he started hitting in 2008 when he first came up. He’s motivated.
The phillies, obviously, are not going to give up easily. But their BP won’t hold.
What a night for ROY…
Guess what Mc Crapper….Posey handles that outside pitch better then anyone in baseball.Why don’t you work on facts,rather then being surprised all the time.
Man, that swing of his sure does look pure and sweet when he goes the other way.
Time for some insurance to lessen the torture. And up steps Superman.
I’ve put a spell on you’
Ross that is…Rollins has been so good in the field all series
Gotta get at least 1 here.
Our situational hitting HAS to be the all-time worst in the history of the game.
Fuck us with a fork.
Goddammit! We’ve left a couple of runs out there these last innings. Can’t be doing that shit against a great team like the Phucking Phillies. And I don’t wanna see the beard until the 9th. If Romo can’t get us 2 outs here in the 8th, we don’t need ’em any more.
They just don’t know how to put the final nail in the coffin do they?Fuckin Torture is the way they play.
Panda giveth, Panda taketh away.
Oh boy.
Oh boy. Romo needs this one.
Like Panda’s double, Romo needs to get his out.
We should be use to this by now.
Gutsiest call or dumbest?
Did anyone not see that coming?
God. I hate that fucking frisbee slider
AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn’t win 97 games lying down.
Mc Carver is fucking deaf dumb, and blind.
Affeldt started it… no rbi if Howard hadn’t smoked that double. Affeldt is just hexed this year…almost had the K, then leaves one out and over the plate where Howard can extend his arms and blast it the other way.
Accept it was Lopez who started the inning.
Except’
The running game = pissing away outs, unless you have a percentage like Rollins this year.
Quite a game- pretty good job Sergio. I was about sure they’d be looking at a deficit.
Son of a motherless goddamn fuck. I can’t handle this shit. Our inability to drive the runners home when we should have came back to fuck us. And ya know what, we had it coming. We can blame Romo all ya want, but the fucking situational hitting or lack thereof is to blame for this tie ballgame.
Who the fuck is up, Shitholtz? Time for him to join the party.
Sonoma Beach. Let’s put theses Phuckers away.
Willied Affeldt? He wasn’t even the game .The double was off Lopez..
Franchez owes us a clutch hit damnit
OK, Yungo has to try to take second. He motherfucking has do.
Gave it a shot. I hope to see Carlos Ruiz rot in hell along with myself. Fuck him and his dog.
Son of a bitch.
God dammit send Torres !!!!!!! Make it happen!!!!
Yeah, actually pretty satisfied that we aren’t down a run after that. Definitely got to hang most of this on the offense not getting a run in with the bases loaded 1 out. Wow, not even close on the steal. Ruiz is not to be run on. That was established early in this series.
Well, hell. both teams can play ball. that was a perfect throw from Ruiz. I still say a tie game favors the Giants. Ultimately.
Has torture been mentioned yet?
Beautiful play, Uribe. Beautiful.
Holy fuck, what a throw!!
1-2-3 from the beard. Go figure. Oswalt pitching on his bullpen day. I like the call.
Now let’s answer the phone and shove it up their collective asses. Let’s win this in the 9th. I can’t handle any extras.
WOw. Rent doesn’t make that play
NOW
We’ll win this in the 9th now.
