Moments In Time
I’ve said this several times, I couldn’t be having more fun with all of this. I love what this has done to my community—everyone has come together in their own unique way but for a common reason. I never lived in a small town but it’s felt like a small town the last few weeks…….
But believe me, I get it, there is a huge difference between me and 98% of the rest of these *giants fans*. I’m not hating on them or anything, it’s just a fact. There is the *band wagon jumper* who comprises about 75% of this current fan base. Then there’s a group of 23% who make up the real Giant fan base. Then there’s 2% of me. And all of you people……
I haven’t allowed myself to think about the outcome of this World Series for even one second. And it’s got nothing to do with fearing a loss. I’m a Giants fan, I can do torturous losing with the best of them. Bring it on, 24/7. I can tolerate losing while standing on my head. While eating a sandolicious sando from The Cheese House. It doesn’t phase me in the slightest….
What I fear is winning this thing. I simply have no idea how I’m going to react or what I’ll do when the final out is secured. So I don’t think about what might happen. I think about the moment I’m in right now and the moment that’s coming right after it. And so on and so on….
All I know for certain is that I will stop to appreciate the moments I have today. They’ll be with me forever. I’ve been very good in my life at stopping time to appreciate something that is happening……. right……….then.
I remember with great detail all of my greatest moments of being a Giants fan. I remember the first game my dad took me to, the Ed Haliki no hitter, not really understanding what all the fuss was about when the crowd went crazy after the final out…..I remember the white specks of paint on Mr Lovell’s radio that broadcasted the giants games while we played a million hours of ping pong through most of the ’80’s in the Lovell’s backyard…..I remember the tie-dye tank top I wore to the Dave Dravecky comeback game…..I remember falling to the ground so hard when Scotty Garrelts came within one out of a no hitter, that my knees were bruised for weeks…..I remember that sign they had out in right field at Candlestick that would count down the days till Pac Bell Park opened and being so bummed one day when it said “937”. “Why couldn’t that sign say *37*,” I thought to myself…..I remember heading through a tunnel so clean you could eat off it, up a stairwell and into the brilliant sunlight of Pac Bell Park, stopping at the top and saying out loud to no one in particular “No fucking way!”–the older, female usher leaned close to me and said “I feel the same way, now let me show you to your seats.”….I remember every single rush of adrenaline that Barry Bonds *gifted* me each time he would send one of his lasers down the right field line into the water…… I remember every word of the 5 minute conversation I had with my friend Chris last week as he proudly told me “The Cody Ross Story”…….And I will never forget my daughter’s giggle as she helped me dye this absurd beard last night…..
I woke up this morning to the blue light of my alarm clock that indicated 2:33am. Never was able to go back to sleep after that so it’s going to be a long day. But one thing is for certain. I will stop and appreciate ever moment of this day: The stains on my train seat. The first words Pawlie says to me when I meet him for the first time later this afternoon. The color of the finger nails of the woman selling me my hot dog. The roar from the crowd after Timmy throws his first strike. Everything.
Appreciating the moments that will stay with you forever. THAT is what life is all about, my friends. I’m 10 years old right now…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Think they won’t be dissing our offense anymore.
This team refuses to lose to any top pitcher!!!!!
Commander Cody and then Huff the Magic Dragon. This is the year.
He isn’t a fucking “great” lefthander. He’s a pretty good pitcher who’s had a lucky run int the playoffs. Fuck Cliff Lee!!!!
Fuck ESPN, MLB and all the other pro analysts!! The Giants just knocked out the guy that threw a no hitter!!
Lookin like somebody jes went and plumb pure fell off the cliff.
Fuckin Fruckie! Fuckin Burrel, great AB and walk! Fuckin Cody! Fuckin Huffster! Fuckin A, I shoulda paid $599 for a standing room Ticket!…..
Adding on, they hadn’t been doing that. Juan can make it cruel now…
Cruel? He just made it criminal.
Prophetic Mike.
Definitely Stix . . . Always good to have a cushion.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
OH MY GOD! Uriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
U RBI !!!
Maybe the Fox announcers will learn how to pronounce OOOO Ribe now.
What was that about AL superiority?
I can’t believe we’ve got 8 motherfucking runs. I guess we converted the 2 pt. conversion.
Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Handssssssssssssss!!!!!! I called it earlier he would hit one out.Just thought it was gonna be off of Lee.Fuck it I don’t care!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . Way to go Andrus 🙂
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOrrrrrrrrrrrEEEEEbaaaaaay. Had a feeling about that. French have a term for what just happened: “Le Coup de Grace”. For the past few hundred years it has meant a bullet to the head.
How often has Timmy been graced with a six-run lead? Would this team be a monster playing regularly against the Junior Circuit?
Stix, he’s so use to pitching with a razor thin lead, that I hope this doesn’t fuck him up.
Let’s fuck up their bullpen now
Exactly. Wear out everyone of those mediocre mutherfuckers tonight and force the same issue tomorrow night.
Jus rubbin it in. Tomorrow night the DeRangers face one Horse they may not be able to ride. Been known to buck a bit. Be nice if we don’t need to play in November ~ that’s football season.
Fuck YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally called Uribe’s shot. 2-0 count. junkballer. Gonzo!!!
Beauty!!!
Shut down inning, Timmy.
Grab some pine, Vlad!
Sheesh, at this scoring rate, San Dog will be a cinch to win Twin’s PC “Roadster.”
Grab some pine, Cruz!
Cruelty rules!! Schadenfreude is wunderbar!!
We just bitch slapped the fuck out of the Rangers that inning.Timmy ‘s in his groove now.Rangers are toast.
You don’t want these guys with even a clue that they can get back. Need to end this now.
wtf isn’t Lincecum throwing breaking balls low to Molina? ah, well.
Fuck that fat titty. Goddamn great AB by Kinsler set that up. Limit this shit now.
FUCK.
Turning Timmy into a goddamn Piñata. Son of a bitch. I can’t handle this shit.
Get this next cocksucker out.
Godamnit, Timmy.
What’d I tell ya Stix? I suspected this might happen . . . sigh.
Jesus H. Christ. Strikes out the first two no problem, then Kinsler works him hard for the walk. And FUCK Bengie Molina. He’s the enemy now. Fuck him and his dog. Casilla better come in throwing strikes. End the shit NOW.
These EPIC match ups aren’t living up to the hype.
Well, everyone here knew that Texas wasn’t going to just lay down and die!! They want to win this too!! But shit both starters knocked out before the 7th!! wtf!!
The Rangers hitting is not over-hyped, although why Molina sees anything over the plate is truly baffling.
Come on guys. You’ve stuck Cliffy Lee with 6 ERs in less than half a game. Now stick superboy with the fucking loss, too.
Now add at least one back. Clutch, Santiago.
Serious smoke by Casilla!! Great job!
Grab some pine, Aaron Presley!
That kid needs to step it up if he expects to use that name on a regular basis.
Nice by Casilla. WTF wasn’t Timmy throwin’ only low and outside shit to Bengielena?….
Oh, jesus fucking christ, now McCarver is comparing Freddie to Clemente!
So much for the much ballyhooed battle of the aces. Apparently, Timmy just don’t know what to do when he’s that rich. Next year, with the presence of Brandon Belt somewhere near the middle of the L.U., added to most of the present posse, Timmy should become much more accustomed to wealth in runs up. Don’t think he was so much tuckered out as just plain lost concentration on Kinsler. And Bengie knows him.
WTF kind of name is “Ogando?” Sounds like someone you’d see at the carnival. Ogando the Magnificent and his house of cards.
Xoot….Yeah that cracked me up as well.Freddie would never even been allowed to hold Clemente’s jock,not to think of sniffing it.
Appears that Mr. Hamilton has not had an extremely productive night. Must be something about that dense air down there at sea-level. Or maybe it’s the fog. I mean, how could it be mere pitchers?
Santiago just gave the Rangers a Code Red.
Nice job recovering from the redneck’s gaff.
Another huge ining for Casilla. Damn, Aubrey waited for the post season to show us why he had the rep. Time for Travis for the last two…
Tony Bennett in the 7th inning stretch. SF class, all the way.
Socialist queers singin’ along, too.
I put in a request yesterday. Tony can still belt it out with the best of ’em.
Agree, Xooty. Tony Bennet, 80+ and bringin’ it. Awesome…
Tony was superb!! Martini toast are in order!
THESE FUCKING FOX ANNOUNCERS ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST MORONIC FUCKHEADS EVER!!!!!
Just had to get that out
Thank you Ted, totally agree, Fing Texas suck ups is what they are!!
Man, one more comment about how fucking outstanding the waterboy was for Texas, and I’ll puke.
Are the Giants even here?
Well, in all candor, Texas has one *hell* of a water boy
Fewer shots of Nolan Ryan lately, however.
HAAAA HAAAA
Aubrey redemption!!!
Now that’s more like it. Do not throw Molina another strike this series.
There’s the old Bengie that we know and love. Grab some pine, Big Titty!
Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
256 responses before starting on this one. Torres wears #56. That one also happens to be my magic #. And, guess what, it’s been 56 years since Willie Mays & Co. nailed down the World Championship.
The Giants are really showing why they belong here, Rent has really stepped it up!!
LOOGY! Gomez is fucking nails.
OK, I’m putting this out here now; I don’t like Wilson coming in the 9th in a non-save situation.
I’d let LOOGY finish it off.
Can’t do. Can’t do. Jorge just can’t do. No wonder. He was facing those nasty sidewheelers from Lopez. That guy has been worth Ironhead Joe plus Bowker.
Romo knows how to get Bengielena. Throw nuttin’ but shit outside and down. Do that the entire series…
Dennis. I’m with ya on that one. Why waste Wilson when he would just want to create some drama with that four run lead and nobody starting out on the bases. Not even a save situation.
Agreed. Rent looks like he took some Vivarin with a greenie/Geritol chaser pre-game. He’s been nails in the field all night…
Vlad costing them in the field . . . Lovin’ it. Ha.
Welcome to RF Vlad, you piece of shit.
BF, told you it would be comical watching Vlad out there
That’s the guarantee Vlad fuck up we all anticipated.
The thing about that play is that his “wheels” had nothing to do with it . . . Any little leaguer worth his salt would have caught it or blocked it with his body to keep it in front of him. Vlad has no business being out there.
I’m telling you, that guy playing RF is a ball dude in disguise.
Wow. There were disparaging comments made about SF making few errors because of overall lack of range….Vlad never got in front of that. Looked pretty routine and he never even got a glove near it.
Ishi! OK, 5 run lead. Sit B-Wheezy back down. No need now and no need for NO Whitey.
