Stumbling Out of the Gate……

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 2, 2011

Yeah, yeah, still basking and all but I can still call out my team for sloppy play while still gettin’ my bask on, can’t I? When we go up 3-1 the game is supposed to be over. With our pitching staff, that’s just the way it goes. But when you factor in mental mistakes and some general bad luck, I guess we can’t count on mailing in a win. The President of the Under Achieving Club (Posey) says “I don’t know if I’m trying to do to much. Maybe it’s being anxious and jittery and trying to go out and get the ball.” You could take that quote and throw a blanket on the rest of the team. They’re playing tight and when you play tight you play dumb and bad things happen. That’s what’s going on with us right now. This isn’t *opening season jitters*. They better get used to how to handle this because they are going to be spending the entire season defending their crown. EVERY team is going to be gunning for them. And somehow, we need to manage that pressure into the execution of plays. Right now we are just executing ourselves…….

You’re a good writer, Big Shady
Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 7:29 am

How many days until pitchers and catchers report?
Flavor said, on April 2, 2011 at 7:40 am

Thx Ted. But I’m retiring the “Big Shady” moniker. 2 losses since it became me. I fiddled around with “Mount Shady” but decided it had a little too much “look-at-me” in it……
willied said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:10 am

SPs have been solid tho. Lincecum dominated despite what went on around him, and Sanchez pitched pretty well himself. Of the Dodgers 7 hits, only the double from Kemp was really hit well. Sure, walking the pitcher was a mistake, but the plays that beat him were two dribblers on the iF.
Mota and Casilla were disappointing, but runzler looked great for second night in a row, and finally got Kemp out…2 innings with zeroes across the board for base runners, 6 outs recorded in 15 pitches.
relax, guys. take a deep breath and exhale into emptiness.
willied said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:15 am

Trivia note…Ian Kinsler started game off for Texas with leadoff HR, and last guy to do that for them was Oddibe McDowell. I remember that guy, wore number 0 (which I always that was cool), played at Az state.
Saw him play at the Mausoleum with a buddy of mine and his twin teen age girls, one of whom went on to play college softball. I talked up #0, who began the game by striking out, and one of the girls says, ” oughta be on the bench.”
Kevin said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:18 am

Yeah, I thought Kent was brought in to help Posey handle batting clean-up? Any way, yeah the Defense is definitely playing tight. Willed that is what the players need to do. Take a deep breath and relax
Macdog said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:23 am

Yesterday, Twin chided Timmy for failing to do the little things that cost him 2-3 wins a year. The same can certainly be said of Sanchez.

Too many times in these one-run losses Sanchez fails to do something that should be routine, i.e., executing a bunt or holding a runner on first. In last night’s game, it was fielding his position along with issuing a leadoff walk to the pitcher, who then scores the first run on a two-out double. And while he certainly has had his share of lousy run support, it’s these little things that keep Sanchez from getting to the next level.

OK Willie, I promise to exhale now.

  MacDog are you managing your fantasy baseball team? You’ve got an open roster spot
  - Macdog said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:32 am
    
    Problem fixed. I hadn’t noticed LaRoche finally popping up at the bottom.
- twinfan said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:51 am
  
  True on Dirty, and he’s now past the point where we can expect improvement on those “little things”…it’s a shame because nobody hits him…Anyway, it’s time for a CG from Matt, settle everybody down. Rowand goes today, remember that deep breath…
Flavor said, on April 2, 2011 at 8:53 am

cool. I haven’t seen much activity from you and figured you just liked your team. But when I saw an open roster spot I decided to check to see if you knew you had a team, lol.
And look at PAWLIE, leading the way after two games. Dennis and his band of fucking Dodgers are hot on his tale. Ah, the excitement of fantasy baseball, unfolding before our very eyes…….
- Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 9:34 am
  
  I really like being able to access our team from right here on the Flap. Neat feature. Yeah, two days in and I got a W each from Kershaw and Barbara and two saves from Baby Huey. I can’t even feel good about that. I got four starters going today. Feast or famine time.
  
  But what’s that New Yawker doing in first place? That’s almost as bad as having Rowand start and batting lead off. Almost.
- PawlieKokonuts said, on April 2, 2011 at 12:22 pm
  
  As with other portions of life, sometimes one finds more success in fantasy than reality. But speak for yourselves.

Hospital report on the Giants fan from Santa Cruz who was beaten by the Bums fan, is that he is on life support. Send him some positive, supportive, loving energy.

If I had twice as many points as I do, I’d be in 7th place. but I don’t. rookie looking B me, you can see a country mile (up) from here.
twinfan said, on April 2, 2011 at 9:45 am

Similar event at ATT in 2008, although it wasn’t SF fans vs. LA fans. In this case, the young man died. It was a fight in the parking lot, victim hit his head on the concrete.
Let’s hope this incident in LA doesn’t instigate reprisals next week.
Nipper said, on April 2, 2011 at 10:08 am

That fantasy league only makes sense if Chuck’s team stays in last place. BLEEP!
Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 10:22 am

Tejada SS, Sanchez 2B, Huff RF, Posey C, Burrell LF, Belt 1B, DeRosa 3B, Rowand CF, Cain P

That’s so bad I have NO Whitey comment.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 11:54 am

Dennis: Maybe there’s some big Vegas money involved. It looks like that L.U. is structured precisely to give Lilly a fighting chance at matching Cain. It’s like Matt the Horse is being made to go up against the Dawgs with one hand tied behind his back. Weird stuff going on.
- Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 12:06 pm
  
  Stix, the Bums are reciprocating in kind. Look at what they’re trotting out today: Oink!
  
  Miles 3B, De Jesus 2B, Ethier RF, Kemp CF, Loney 1B, Gimenez C, Paul LF, Carroll SS, Lilly P
  
  Maybe the Gamer will surprise us all with a RBI or two. Two runs should be enough for the Horse today to get a W.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 11:59 am

Worst BB yet. That broad with her stance looks like she’s quite capable of totally enveloping the entire tire-casing with one loud, resounding “glurp”. Disgusting. Maybe it will keep up my now nearly three-year cold turkey status re pornsites. Time to park this shit, Flav. MAYBE next spring. Time to concentrate on the Giants returning to their Championship ways. Usually, my motto has been “don’t sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff” ~ but in this case i think we gone one bridge too far.
- ewisco said, on April 2, 2011 at 12:15 pm

  plus, is it cause and effect?? after all, we won the Series without any BBs!

How many other teams can say they have Methuselah leading off for them today?
That’s right, none. And we have Lazarus hitting 8th. Not even JC could resurrect that POS. God help us.

Stix is right-worst ever. She looks like she’s prepping for a donkey show..

First two hits from unexpected sources. Maybe Bochy DOES understand the psychology of Lillys.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 1:55 pm

Okay, so we nailed it: It’s the Limp-Wrist ~ Lazarus ~ Human Sacrifice ~ Methuselah Offense.
Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 1:55 pm

Methuselah with the RBI ground out. We’ll take it. First run scored NOT via the homer.
Like I keep saying, if we want to score more — Stop hitting home runs!
DJLoo said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:00 pm

twinfan said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:24 pm

Belt is simply more proof that it’s not an acquired skill.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:24 pm

Was lookin like ‘here we go again’ when Ethier singled and red-hot Kemp coming up. But Matt the Horse is also in his role as Matt the Master this afternoon, inducing yet another grounder, this one a made-to-order. How sweet can it get? Now rack him up some more runs!
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:33 pm

And Methuselah becomes a Giant !
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:36 pm

Now the Runt! Bochy’s a fuggin genius. This Hunt n Peck offense (forget that vaunted middle of the order) may have succeeded in gelding the Lilly.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:39 pm

I luv it! Ol’ Aubrey reverts to form as Huff the Magic Dragon. Back to being the Champs, maybe?
PawlieKokonuts said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:48 pm

When I said weeks ago that Rowand might surprise, I can’t even articulate the derision I received.

I know, small sample.

As are these three games, which had me neck-and-neck with Dennis for DOTY.*

Doomer of the Year.

Let’s hold the lead and pile on, boys and girls. [that’s “lead,” which rhymes with LEED, not with “dead.”]
PawlieKokonuts said, on April 2, 2011 at 2:49 pm

I’m disgusted with this aggrandizement of Mattingly. Overrated as a player and as a coach and as a new manager.
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:06 pm

Gotta love that kid. Down in the count, he works him and gets the BB. This guy’s OBP may match his Minor League one in his first season in the Bigs. Not fazed by Kershaw, Belts Giants miasma Lady Barbara and now works that big guy from Curacao. Brandon can handle ML pitching. The Jury is officially in!
xootsuit said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:09 pm

5-tool player, indeed. Gets into scoring position, and there you go DeRo!
I agree the Mattingly digression was annoying, but these second-string fox announcers spent some time earlier lauding Bochy. These guys aren’t nearly as offensive as the Buck and Mac show.

That’s the first I’ve heard that it was a taxi that t-boned Zito’s car the other night. Wonder if the driver was on his cell phone.
macdog said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:09 pm

SAAAFE! Listening to the radio-cast at least I get to enjoy Miller, Kruk and Kuip instead of the irritating Foxymorons on TV.

  nice neologism, Macdog!
eddacker415 said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:12 pm

I like seeing MDR playing. Lilly has the most balks of any active player and with Posey batting Mattingly shows the quick hook. he could be a basket case by the AS break.
Del Mar Dennis said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:18 pm

8 runs and nary a homer to be found. I’ll keep saying it — stop hitting home runs!
Flavor said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:18 pm

8-0. Pour it on. I am never going back to Big Shady again. *Mount Shady* is still on the table, though…….
snarkk said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:19 pm

eddacker415 said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:19 pm

I haven’t heard much from the Fox Announcers but they did just note that the World Champion San Francisco Giants have 8 runs and 0 homers.
Go! Gigantes
stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Demolition Derby time. Gotta love it. Those geeks boosting Matterhorn probably were heavily invested in his rookie cards as kids. Want to keep their stock up. I usta deal in BB cards back in the day and lemme tell you, the Mattingly R.C. was the hottest item out there ~ along with that original steroid artist with the A-Ho’s, Jose Canseek Oh.
PawlieKokonuts said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:25 pm

A former co-worker who loves Mattingly drove out from Syracuse to Indiana to visit Matterhorn, unannounced, I think, about 15 years ago. Played hoops in his yard with him.

Still, overrated.

And such a geek.

snarkk said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:45 pm

I swear watching FOX broadcast this game must be like watching DodgerVision. They’re already three hitters into the inning and haven’t mentioned El Presidente is in for Posey…
PawlieKokonuts said, on April 2, 2011 at 3:48 pm

My daughter’s friend in Houston at Final Four game cuz the kid’s father is one of the refs! Same daughter said in response to Fox announcers that Zito’s stache should be called Tumbleweed, and he should be called Prairie Dog. (Just typing what she tells me to.)

Regarding Vin Scully, I really respect him and think he is a high priest of baseball announcers. I love his work. But . . . but hearing him on the feed that Blade suggested last night, I’d say his timing is way off; he labors.

Bruce really botched another LU. DeRosa, Rowand, Miggy to the 1 hole:

stixwiz said, on April 2, 2011 at 4:55 pm

Justice is served. Champs 10 – Chumps Zeeeeero. Should have gone that way the previous two as well, but spose the guys hadda get the Dooms outta their system ~ playing tight and all.
Well, this one was the classic loose goose ~ kinda reminding me of Shady Flavor’s stealth pick for final BB of the Giants run-up to that 100 win season that seemed to be slipping away the last couple evenings. So take a gander at Who’s Bruce and his suddenly Loose Goose and stay tuned for those infectious high spirits landing on Zito like so much pixie dust. I mean after today, Philly and Chi-town are gonna be drooling over a certain guy who’s now leading the team in B.A. and Barry’s gonna have to do something to not miss out on the fun.
Lilly is a pretty not too bad pitcher and so is Cormier. Giants had their way with em. There are a lot of pretty not too bad pitchers in the NL, so there will be more games like this. As for the toughies against the likes of Kershaw and Billingsgate, all that’s required will be for the boys to remain on the loose. Three solid starts from the Rotation, but only the single win ~ so far. Team on the field behind them stays loose and the rest of the teams will just lose and lose.
