At 4:57pm, the World ENDS!
Or apparently that’s what it will feel like to some of you if we lose today based off the posts yesterday and some emails that I got. I guess I’m with the minority, I just am not gonna be devastated if they don’t make it to the World Series. And it won’t be a choke-job, either. Philly is a very good team, if they can beat Lincecum/Dirrrrrty/Cain successively, more power to them. I am still just too busy enjoying the Hell out of post season baseball to sweat “what if?”
But I will tell you that despite hating them with a passion, I started growing a beard last Saturday. It’s just about grown full in and I WILL be dying it black if/when we make it to the World Series. Flavor doesn’t roll with the phony beard look…….
And if we don’t make it? I just shave this bad boy off and look back on one of the top three baseball seasons I have ever had the pleasure of watching as a Giants fan. Don’t *player hate*, my friends, *dominate* and if that doesn’t work for ya, or you don’t get it, then just go back to worrying about the sky caving in on you later tonight. If there’s a Game 7, instead of worrying about a loss, focus on the rare electricity and the feeling of finality that you get to experience for about 3 hours. You know what? I hope it does go 7……..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Jonathan’s pretty well amped. He had no real reason for plunking or for sniping at Utley. Pulling the plug makes sense. The excellent bullpen takes over. Fine.
My kid had an interesting take on the melee. “Man. They have so many umpires on the field in the post season nothing can happen.”
Why is that Buck can pronounce Sanchez but McCarver can’t? I know others have asked this question earllier in the series. But cannot the man learn?
They pronounce Uribe’s name wrong, too.
…well if there was ever a moment where you regretted Zito not being on the postseason roster.
When that moment arrives oinks and grunts will fill the air and we’ll all be fleeing pig-shit rain.
Surely you jest.
don’t call him shirley
Right move Dirty needed the shutdown inning,and all he does is throw more balls and Hits Utley.Very frustrating.
I think he’s just worn down mentally after throwing in some big pressure games the last 6 weeks.
The issue now is Affeldt getting Howard.
Grab some pine, Howard!
Great pitching to Howard!!! Affeldt. And McCarver and Buck go FUCK YOURSELVES ASSHOLES
…yeah on second thought I’m just fine with affeldt.
Sure could dig a signature 09 Affeldt DP here.
Aloha, motherfucker!!!
Do they have curfew during playoffs? This could fucking last forever, like one of those NY-red sox games. Lot of credit to Affeldt so far…I owe him one for dissing him the other night by mistake. Nice job! Tie ballgame still.
Reverts to ’09 form! Anyone’s game!
From out of playoff roster obscurity- Affledt! Our hero of the moment!
And I got so excited I spelled his name wrong.
The more I look at Werth, the more he looks like Jesus H. Christ.
They both could use a goddamn haircut.
Great work by JA to retire the King of the Jews. Now get this shit Hawaiian. Bingo!
Wonderful job by JA. Very much reminiscent of ’09. Now let’s take the lead!
Beautiful job by Jeremy.Look like the dominating pitcher from last year out there.
I have a feeling this game might turn into the royal rumble in about five minutes.
Werth looks like WWE wrestler, “Edge”…
Sanchez reverted back to being a rookie letting the little shit bother him!!
By Zito’s standards, Sanchez had a quality start…
Can those 2 Pricks ever say anything good about the Giants?
If Rent reaches, I would NOT PH for JA here w/ Font. Matters not. Affeldt has a good rhythm, let ’em go another inning or two. Ride the hot hand.
Werth looks like the vagabond person of interest many small third-world police departments seek to question in connection with a grisly local murder.
Man I hate to PH for JA in the 5th, but I guess you’re kind of forced to given the situation.
Is Bumgarner warming up, I’d bring him in next to keep the lefty-thing going.
That a way to do it little runt jr. Let’s keep ’em coming. I sure would like the like for once.
See, that shit I DON’T like Either bunt or hit away, don’t try both. Son of a bitch.
Wasted motherfucking AB. Just stoopid.
Runt power!
Man, we need more from Huff this series.
If Torres could fuckin bunt,we would have had the lead.
Goddammit. Climbed the ladder on ’em. We have 2 runs on 8 hits. And one of them was an early Christmas gift.
Need the rook to hold the fort. No short order with the top of the lineup due…
Nice. Sit down and STFU.
Shows a lot of confidence in Bum finding the plate by IW Werth. Get ’em Madison.
Whew!!
Oh, piece of cake inning.
Whewww….Smoke em if you got him.Drinks are mandatory!!!
HUGE. Major *sigh* of relief. This team is just terrible on my nerves.
Now, somebody go yard so we can take the lead. Time for the long ball.
“If we don’t homer, we don’t score.” I’m feeling a little Juan-Gone time.
All I got is skunk and I’m smokin’ it.
No excuses, just do this….
This is the inning we Rock Lee Harvey Oswalt!!!!
He’s just a patsy!
Dang, Pat just a little out in front. We haven’t hit an HR yet, huh Dennis?
They are blowing kisses to Cody.
Commander Cody strikes again! OK, Juan, drive on home.
Cooler heads prevail. Good. Now, gets us a big hit here, Mr. Rent.
A
FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!
Absolute Torture
Renteria should have walked on 4 straight balls!
Hitting Uribe was definitely intentional, harmless or not physically. Oswalt and Manual should have been ejected
Completely 100% agree
That AB from Renteria was horrible. Tried to fake his way on base when it wasn’t even close (anybody near the plate could hear the ball hit the bat). Let’s see Pablo.
That was just a totally unique at bat by renteria. He DiD battle him. Renteria is just on the fumes of his career right now
We suck Donkey Kong. Just unbelievable, just unfuckingbelievable.
I don’t know why I should be surprised, our lineup sucks. And now a lead off double for Mark Ibanez.
Fuck him and KTVU Ch. 2.
The redneck is something else. Iceman cometh.
I call Huff the redneck. Bumgarner I’ve dubbed Farmer John. Either way, you’re dead on. The redneck farmer is one cool straw-chewing customer. I bet he has a nice John Deere in his barn.
Grab some pine, KTVU Ch. 2!
Man, the rookie showed a lot of sack.
Yeah! Unc Charlie’s flop of the LU hasn’t hurt us so far….Bum just got both of them out with RISP.
Wow I’m definitely starting to feel the effect of alcohol poisoning! Just a wild crazy game !!
Bum is the real deal. No 21 year old handles a situation like that unless he’s born to do it. He is.
I’m tired of this shit. Time to get some runs.
GO GIANTS
Bozo, can ya believe the Giants haven’t hit a home run tonight. Hell, they didn’t hit a homer the entire three games at home. Nope, no homers.
What a time to play small ball huh Den? I’m thinking my clown buddy might just change some of this shit.
Oh yeah, FUCK Beach Blanket Fucktards.
Outside you blind prick
Blind scumbag.
That ball was a good 8-10″ off the plate. Ishi got screwed.
Right there Mc Carver? Your full of shit,Like the ump on that call atleast a foot outside.
need to pop one, need something against this bullpen
The little runt w/ a little 2-out double. We still haven’t homered. Nope, no homers.
ROY will make them pay for walking Huff. Book it.
If Posey spoils this shit, Unc will have some big time splainin to do.
Nice hitting Runt..walk to Huff.Now the ROY will make them pay!
Unca_Charlie is either look like Jesus, Jesus H. Christ after this move.
Still no homers. No homers from Buster. Nope, NO homers and NO Whitey.
Maybe Whitey?
This game is frustrating the shit outta me. God forbid I reach the anger stage—it will not be pretty.
Can we just beam Buck and McCarver into space with a bunch of tribbles.
i’m on radio tonite with knbr – fuck’n tv announcers were sapping my spirit
Man did Lopez ever get down low on that last delivery to Utley.Thing of beauty! Just filthy stuff.
this Team has shown alot of guts tonight – could have easily folded tents in the early part of this game. phils are in a phuck’n phist phight.
I love our LOOGY. So much so that I wanna have Javier Lopez’s child. LOOGY is the man.
You know Dennis, I looked at my scorecard and damn, you’re right man. The Giants haven’t hit a homer tonight. How weird is that? Can you believe it?
What a nice inning. Utley hits the ball 50 feet, and Howard K’s off the same guy he doubled against last time. Pen has been lights out…might only gonna take one SF run to get there.
