I Hate Ryan Dempster…..
I really do. I don’t know why, maybe it’s his name. I have know a couple of hot women named Ryan in my life and I don’t like dude’s named “Ryan”. One of them spells her name “Rian”. That’s almost more annoying than Dempster’s dominance tonight……
I haven’t read anything tonight, I just saw a random rumor on the last messed up thread about us re-acquiring Uribe.
I would be 100% in support of that. This team needs something. It’s needs his mojo. And his mojo doesn’t work unless it’s connected to AT&T Park. He can play SS this year or 2nd, whatever. Just bring him back. I know what his numbers are, they are about what I thought he’d do away from AT&T. There’s magic inside, and Juan gets that NOW it’s got nothing to do with pussy white and blue. Black and Orange, baby. That’s where your colors are………
Unfortunately, I don’t think Juan would want to come back. That story that leaked about the 45K he owed his landlord didn’t come from the landlord. Someone in the org leaked it. He left over a million bucks, there were other things going on. But both parties should put their petty differences aside and remember what made them both their strongest: each other.
I want Juan Uribe back on this team………..
The Flap Fantasy Baseball League Standings
(At this point in the year, dropping 7 on us is huge (Blade). BB continues his assault on his next victim)

Baggs just reported that Sabean shot down the rumor.
What’s the deal with bullshit leaks when players and managers leave SF? Weak tit if you ask me.
What about that little runt Eckstein? He had a decent line last year.
Neg on Eck……He sucks.
I don’t know what is up with SF team that leak shit. The Giants leaked shit aobut Baker’s IRS probs. There was another one I can’t remember. And then the Uribe *kitchen fire* bullshit. I’m assuming this all comes from Baer, mostly because I don’t like him………
“I’m assuming this all comes from Baer, mostly because I don’t like him………”
That’s good and I agree. Although, I think Baker blamed Magowan for the IRS thing but I wouldn’t put it past Peter to have his little yes man do it for him.
I saw the Baggs thing, I just think it’s a good idea. There aren’t any better ideas out there to fix this mess of an offense…….
Baer is nothing but a salesman who wouldn’t irritate me so much if he didn’t pretend to know baseball
The padres actually passed LA and moved into 4th. Just think if they’d kept AGon and decided to build around the guy What a f-ed up mess dodgers are, even with Kemp lighting up the season. If I remember it right, they are still paying Manny, andruw jones, and juan pierre, and still don’t have a LF. Carroll is having a better season than Uribe, but I can’t imagine LA doing anything to help out the giants.
Mets have been hammering detroit, and they now are 41-39, despite being under .500 at home. They are only 5 games worse than Braves, who have top WC spot right now at half way point. Unless they tank soon, I don’t see how they could dump off their best player,and maybe the MVP of the league, for prospects.
Wrigley weather: Winds blowing out to left field at 10-15 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 80. On this day back in ’78, Willie Mac hit #500 off of Atlanta’s Jamie Easterly as the Giants lost 10-5 in the second game of a doubleheader at Fulton County Stadium.
You like how I tied in “Easterly” into the weather report? You guys don’t know it, but I can be pretty clever sometimes…
Your amazing Dennis…….especially in the stable.
Huff gets a blow, Pablo over to 1B…
Torres CF, Burriss 2B, Sandoval 1B, Burrell LF, Schierholtz RF, Crawford SS, Tejada 3B, Whiteside C, Cain P
Shea has brief article on Mark ellis, who is down to playing 1b and 3b in Melvin’s LU when he is there at all. I always liked this guy, and would have been happier to see SF get him than Freddy Sanchez. He most likely wouldn’t do much to help the O, but solid with the glove, class act.
Every day in mlb is new and different…two days ago there were 43 HRs hit, yesterday half that, and more SBs than HRs, 29-21. Mets scored 16 and did hit one HR.
Lot of ways to win a game, or lose one. I didn’t see any of yesterday, only caught miller on the postgame…did burriss have a chance to score if he had been halfway on Huff’s bloop? Miller seemed to imply burriss fucked up, that going back to the bag was not the right play at all. Burriss, btw, said “No shot” to score…just covering his ass or not?
mets did “not” hit one HR.
Burriss did NOT fuck up. If he gets doubled up there he gets skewered for a week. By playing it safe we still had 1 out and the bases loaded. Ross didn’t deliver, plain and simple….
I don’t see what the big deal is about getting someone by trade, FA, or whatever, If the Giants were in the East, they would be 5.5 games behind Philly, they would have plenty of time to catch Philly.they would be in 1st place in the Central and they are in 1st place in the West. Botchy manuevering players and Sabe’s acquiring players worked last year. Can it work this year? So far as I can tell it is still working. What makes this tougher on us as Giants fans is we want another WS title. but so do the Giants. Repeating is very hard to do! Look at all pro sports, not many do it. Are the Giants competitive…absolutely. Will they make the playoffs with no player moves?? Probably. yep the glass is half full!!
Thank you Kevin for providing a little bit of reality to the discussion of “Whoa is me regarding the Giants.” These are the facts per a cut and paste I did from Yahoo’s game notes:
“The division-leading Giants finished the halfway point of the season 46-35. A year ago, when they went on to win the World Series, they were 41-40 and in fourth place in the NL West, 7 1/2 games out of first.”
Kevin and Blade, yup. They’ll have to prove me wrong to *not* make the playoffs. I make no WS predictions but post season? In the words of L.T. Firbank in SAINT JACK…Indubitably
I wanted a first baseman before the season, still think that’s the way to go at the deadline.As Baggarly says, Pena would be a good choice.Huff to left..I hammered Uribe’s splits into your litlle “B” brains over and over- he definitely got his career boost from ATT-but it’s over.His start this year combined with his second half 2010, you can’t go home again.No way on Juan.But again- they are winning the division as-is, any acquisitions should be with the postseason in mind.
Man I hate saying this, but what about Pena for Ishi (if he’s not still hurt)? The Cubs dump salary, they would have a First baseman for the rest of the year and if they don’t like Ishi they don’t have to offer him arb next year. I know it doesn’t sound like much for Pena but a salary dump might be enough.
Flavor’s the only guy I know who was hoping Private Ryan wouldn’t be saved
If it was Ryan Vogelsong he would have . . .
There are stirrings from all of the middle of the order guys. Torres needs to kick it in gear. I think he has that stupid bunt idea in his head . Swing away with gusto, Andres.
Yeah, WillieD, even after the CF misplayed the ball, it was under and behind him, so Burriss didn’t see the miss or see it roll away. No way he scores without the risk of being doubled off.
Dave Stewart, Vida Blue, Bob Melvin and other assorted past and present Oakland As will be volunteers for today’s benefit Root Beet Float Day. Is it just me or is there something kind of cruel about serving soda pop and ice cream to help out the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation?
Would you rather have them stick the poor kiddies with a long needle full of insulin?
Vida is just here for the straw..
Zinga-ding-ding . . . . ouch!
I don’t have a problem with Torres bunting but I would mostly agree to just have him swinging away trying to hit the ball hard. Good things happen when he hits the ball hard……..
Burriss was toast at first. We caught a break. Need to make ’em pay…
WTF happened to Zambrano? He forget to take his Prozac this morning?
And some people call Dirrrty a “headcase”…
Grooooooooooooooan . . .
Where’s Stewie?
No seriously, what *did* happen to Zambrano? I’m at work just sort of following along on the internet. Why’s Mateo on the mound?
listed as lower back “stiffness.”
You guys can forget about Mark Ellis, he was just traded to the Rockies…
No one knows, Ted. It didn’t look like he got hurt. He threw a pitch, and everyone slowly filtered to the mound, and he left.
Ellis can hang out on their DL, Dennis . . .
Chicago Tribune
Carlos Zambrano left Thursday’s game against the Giants in the second inning after a visit from trainer Mark O’Neal.
Zambrano was seen stretching his back in the first inning and then had an awkward play at first base in the second ining, which led to an error and a run.
He was behind 1-0 and left two runners on base when leaving. Marcos Mateo relieved.
I missed your post. Thanks as well, Kevin. This is like following a game down in a Stalag 13 tunnel.
“Kinch, what’s the score?”
Back spasms for Zambie, Ted . . .
Thanks, chuck. You too, Dennis
Groooooooooooooooan.
6 LOB thru 3 . . .
Way to give Matty a blow. 2 pitches, 2 outs . . .
So, I had Ryan going last night and for the first time in history (this is fantasy play) I was pulling for my pitcher against my giants. So I watched the game off WGN. I was at that moment a Cubs fan.
Gambling ruined my life.
Nothing wrong with gambling, Ed — someday you might win a weather balloon with points!
So I think I have this figured out now. When we play doubleheaders, we score no problem. Single game only, we blow like the wind. We don’t need an infusion of new players, we need to talk to the schedule maker.
Expanding on Blades earlier mid-season (81 games) report card — we was a’stinking!:
2011: 46W, .568, 24-13 Hm, 22-22 Aw, 20-11 Dv
2010: 40W, .506, 25-17 Hm, 16-23 Aw, 9-20 Dv
At this time last year, we had just come off a 7-G losing streak, and had won just 4 of the last 16!
sry … meant 41W in the 2010 entry. Regardless, not a bad reality check … unless it bounces. 🙂
Time to tack on some insurance here . . .

Nice play by Nurriss there . . .
Uh . . . B
Fantastic play by Burriss. He’s really been flashing the leather of late…
Kruk’s drinking today ,. . .
ah yes back to torture baseball. I will go with the McD’s saying “Lovin it”
Grooooooooooooooooooooan . . .
Shit. Torress is cold as ice / . .
Torres and Burrell with 6 Ks between them . . .
Romo and that hanging slider is going to be the death of me.
Romo made that 1-2-3 inning look really easy.
Hey, Dennis, the drama King is warning up
All right BW, close this sucker out.
Ah shit.
Unmotherfuckingbelievable. No margin for error when your offense sucks donkey balls…
Cain caned again by our O-ring.
Let’s get some runs now, Giants.
That 19 run, 30 hit DH sponged our bats … pffft!
Looking like 9 innings of shutout ball for the Cub pen.
WTF does he have to go into a goddamn slide on every ball he reaches?
Utterly worthless.
Loogy
We haven’t had a hit since the 3rd inning. I’d say we’re due, but I know our offense all too well…
Andres needs to fucking relax
Wow . . . instant replay . . .
Helluva job Burriss,. He’s had a fine series.
Big Wow on that play by Burriss
Come on Nate you’re due for one of those late inning things.
Sit down Whiteside.
What a joke. We’ve been no-hit for 9 straight inning by the Cubs pen nonetheless. I want a new LF, CF, SS, 2B and C by the time we hit the Motor City.
:abll\\\\\\\\\\\\ooooo
Panda power – YES
Notice how I didn’t mention the need for a new 3B. Pablo!
Panda you the manda. Let’s give him a big handa.
LQTM . . . Post of the day Ted.
I don’t believe this shit.
Ramirez with the major brain fade. Piping shit 0-2? Criminy.
Mother fuck you and John Wayne.
Oh well. Ramirez was one strike away, and he coughed it up badly.
2-2 split.
Move on . . .
Move on? How the fuck do you just “move on” from a game like this? Somebody better get fucked, and fucked hard. Nobody just “moves on” from a loss like this. Hit somebody!
Howsabout you fuck yourself Denny, and save us the drama . . .
