Houston, we do NOT have a problem…

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 31, 2010

I thought we played a pretty good game last night. After the 2nd inning they got ONE run off us. Our bullpen was amazing. We hit the same number of bombs that they did, the difference in the game is that they had 2 guys on for one of them. We kept coming at them all night, with a run in the 7th and the 8th. It just wasn’t quite enough. Big deal.

Pat Burrell has 8 strikeouts in 9 World Series at bats. That has to be a record, right? He’s fairly balanced in most of those swing throughs so it’s not like he’s being fooled. He’s re-incarnated the ghost of Rajai Davis sans the speed. But the fact is, and we know this, Burrell is going to keep playing because that’s what Bochy does and it’s not like he has a sure-fire alternative to replace him. Hopefully though, we’ve seen the last of Panda. I think we might see Ishikawa at first with Huff DH’ing (although even that seems like a stretch since Bochy sees Ishi as invaluable as our most important PH). So I don’t know what today looks like, maybe the same LU……..

Texas CANNOT win 2 straight in our park. Win one of the next two, we are all good………

Bochy putting on the H&R and Yungo comes thru BIG TIME!
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:36 pm

I train with some pretty big dudes at Golds. Torres standing just off second there? He’d make them proud, he had his fucking “swoll” on
snarkk said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:38 pm

WTF has got into Rent? Was he over at Guillen’s house when the FedEx arrived?. Sheezus, he is playin like he’s 25. Great hit/run call by the Bonehead, and execution by Torres…
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:38 pm

I’m off the god bless America thing. They only threw that in cause of 9/11. It’s not part of baseball history and baseball history is sacred. Plus, it just slows down an already slow game. I’d ditch it if I was commish….

  I agree. It has become a contrived thing, and there is no doubt in my mind the Yankees used to use it, with their singing cop or their Irish tenor, to stall the game in their favor — esp. if they needed a momentum change.

  Take Me Out To The Ballgame and nothing else.
James said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:39 pm

That’s the Torres of ’09 from the right side.

I hope America feels just a mite less blessed for Texans after tonight’s game .
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:40 pm

That rendition of “God, Bless America” sounded straight out of a 1970s folk Mass.
- xootsuit said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:45 pm
  
  Only folk mass I’ve ever been to was in Mangua in Jan. 85. Electric bass, conga drums, etc., sure didn’t sound like that.
  - xootsuit said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:45 pm
    
    damn. Make that “Managua.”
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:47 pm

holy mackerel, big K
James said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:48 pm

Send Hamilton!
xootsuit said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:48 pm

I’m somewhat surprised that the Texans play the opening chords from Beethoven’s Fifth to pump up the suspense. I’m not surprised Bum sent that elderly DH fellow packing.
zumarust said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:50 pm

Oh my goodness, that was some pitching.
max808 said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:50 pm

Bochy showed a lot of faith in the kid there. Unbelievable effort tonight.
zumarust said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:51 pm

Another run here would be really groovy.
delmardennis said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:52 pm

The kid is just money. Clean, crisp, new fucking money.
- Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:58 pm
  
  He’s old money, dude. He’s an old soul. And he’s all ours….
snarkk said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:54 pm

With his shutout line in this game so far,if Bum were a Yankee or a Phillie, Buckface and McStooge would be having virtual orgasms of commentary…
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:54 pm

The Madison Doctrine.
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:56 pm

Broccolli has been flying out, I’m out of money and apples as well…
Surprised he left MadBum in for Kinsler…
Edgar is MVP so far..what a staory that would be…
willied said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:57 pm

Every time I see the guy warm up, I think of the local DJ for KFOG back in the day known as M. Dung, who used to say “O-day” all the time. Funny guy, used to do a “breakfast with elvis” feature every AM. Away!

Time to Bust out…

  Great call, Mr. Loo!
xootsuit said, on October 31, 2010 at 7:59 pm

Good call, DJL

Away, brutha! What a call by MSD!

The 52,000-strong Caucasian Natiion in that Texas stadium tonight looks a bit stunned.
- PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:11 pm
  
  . . . a bit Bummed.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Would Joe Buck maintain his deadening monotone if he were announcing the crash of the Titanic? Gosh, he is dreadful.
- snarkk said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:08 pm
  
  He was ON the Titanic. Did not survive…
alleykat said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:06 pm

The Giants are so much better then the Rangers.It’s like night and O’Day
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:08 pm

6 outs to go tonight. They need us…
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

Take more pitches bitches. They don’t get any easier to hit…
slo_roll said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

for all non radio listeners – krukow just told good buster story. kruk met him on elevator and told him “kid, hope you don’t think this will happen every year”…posey responds – “why not?” this is an exciting team
- PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm
  
  love it
max808 said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

Thought they would go to the pen here.
delmardennis said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm

Can of corn.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:13 pm

I mean, what can you say about Cain and then Bumgarner?!
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm

I send Mad out there for the 9th.
- delmardennis said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:18 pm
  
  Agreed. It’s his game, give ’em the chance to finish it off. Simply outstanding performance.
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm

Epic ws performance from a rookie pitcher. I’m bursting right now….
San Dog said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:15 pm

Miller earlier made comparisons to Jim Palmer in ’66 outdueling Koufax.
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:16 pm

Until some dumb shit to Moreland, Bum did exactly what he should-let ’em hit it. Why the breakers then? Anyway: no harm… what a performance…
zumarust said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:16 pm

Buck doesn’t give pitch counts very often. I’m used to Kuiper keeping us updated.
zumarust said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:20 pm

Bumgarner’s at 106 pitches.
- zumarust said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:21 pm
  
  According to SFGate.
DJLoo said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:22 pm

Bumgarner always looks like his dog just ran away from home.
DJLoo said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:28 pm

The time of day on the Sprint phone in the commercial was 10:54.
Roll that around your noggin.
delmardennis said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:28 pm

I NEVER like bringing in the closer in a non-save situation. Don’t torture me.

Fuck..The Kid deserved a shot at the complete game shutout!!
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:30 pm

is it a state law to hold hands steepled in prayerlike fashion?

WOO-MOTHERFUCKING-HOO! ! ! One more to go, baby. One more to go.
Goddamn this is great.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:33 pm

What a magical night. Not black magic. Black and Orange magic.
Bozo said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:33 pm

All they gotta do is one more from these guys.
slo_roll said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:34 pm

this is dream-like, great great team effort again,
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:34 pm

Life is so good. I love y’all.
Sportdude said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:35 pm

Huff and Posey baby!!!!!
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:35 pm

Forget the notion that Bum should have pitched the 9th. Wilson is the man to finish it, period. This is Bochy, not Washington. You fucking clamp it down…
delmardennis said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Farmer John is just one cool cat. How the hell does he do it? I’m speechless, I’m without speech.
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Huff, Posey,… and uh: Torres, Renteria… Rent is still MVP…
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Defense was key, esp. Fruckie. And I love how Bum was laconic in the postgame interview, not spilling out his whole game plan. Byooooooteeeeful.
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:38 pm

Yes, Torres and Rent and Cody. And…….Well, um, it’s a Team.
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:40 pm

One win to go… I’m gonna just trip out on that tonight. 2002 is meaningless right now. The next win we get this year changes all of our lives….
snarkk said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:40 pm

If the gods are wearing the Beard of Zeus, that is the last we’ll see of Bum until next Spring. WTF was that by Wilson? 1-2-3? Sheezus Keereist, I was ready for a nitro tablet, and he up and shuts ’em down. Rangers look like they’re ready to roll over! Great game all around!….
Sportdude said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:41 pm

I agree a team effort. I only mentioned those 2 cause they hadn’t chipped in yet in the series…
Kevin said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:42 pm

Wow, Wow, that is all I can say!! Freddie, Huff, Bum, Posey, Rent. how do you pick a POTG??
Craig said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:42 pm

Well, you fuckin nail it. Celebrate your genius…..
Sportdude said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:44 pm

I was just thinking.. Thanks Craig for getting this going. How lucky we have been to have some die hard / true Giants fans to share this with…
twinfan said, on October 31, 2010 at 8:45 pm

Buster’s drive and the one by Francoeur told a lot of the story of the postseason, we ARE getting the carry, the bounces, and the calls… and loving it…
