Belt Blasts Off! (thanks to Big Flavor)

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on June 13, 2012

Sorry it took me so long to get around to sending Belt some of my special mojo. Last night’s call conjured up my *A’s 6 Giants 0* prediction from 2008……

Hopefully that bomb is enough to bump him into 3rd place in the all star voting. Hit 2 or 3 of those bad boys and he’ll relegate Votto to the bench. 🙂

Since I’m hot right now, I’ll say Cain pitches a no hitter tonight. Why not?

Today is post 768 for those of you keeping score at home.

Ok, gotta bounce………

One of Flav’s predictions that didn’t come true so far
Brother said this series wouldn’t be a cake walk.
Sorta right. Hasn’t reached cake status yet. Sort of ding-dong
Alleykat said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:10 pm

The “Horse” is dealing…11K’s in 6 perfect innings..Cain or Strasburg get my nod for A/S starter.
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:19 pm

BLANCO
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:21 pm

Astounding. He had zero chance to get that. But he did.
Alleykat said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:21 pm

GREGOR BLANCO…You are the Man!!!! TREMENDOUS CATCH!!!!
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:22 pm

I guess this Blanco guy gets some time?
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:22 pm

For the purposes of the prediction we’ll call that a hit though 😉
unca_chuck said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:24 pm

That was epic!
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:25 pm

YES
- Flavor said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:27 pm
  
  dial a shot time?
  - Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:45 pm
    
    I sent you an email with my number. Give a call.
  - Flavor said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:58 pm
    
    shit dude, I just got this. Next time
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:27 pm

Hey, it’s getting a bit crowded here in the Blanco fan club.
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:29 pm
  
  A few wanted him to sit for Nate tonight.
unca_chuck said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:27 pm

Cainer wants a home run . . . !
Alleykat said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:30 pm

Cain is reaching back for alittle extra gas right now.Guy is such a “STUD”, He is sniffing the finish line.
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:31 pm

And once again, an annoying TedSpe movie reference:
I’m not going to curse Cain’s game so allow me to just say—I’m pretty sure the Giants will win tonight.

Tonight is June 13th. The birthday of Basil Rathbone.
So when I say I think the Giants will probably win tonight’s game
It would be more than appropriate to say:
“No shit, Sherlock”
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:32 pm

1…2..3.. you’re up, Denny
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:33 pm

the sun is breaking through in England, and I am watching my team with great joy.
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:37 pm

Chelsea be getting it good tonight.
Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:38 pm

Wow, this is fun to watch!
- Flavor said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:39 pm
  
  Isn’t it? Again, Kudos to you east coast guys for sticking around……
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:42 pm

He’s going to have a fine FIP tonight.
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:44 pm

pagone needs a hit here
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:44 pm

POTG nominees?
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:49 pm
  
  Is that “player” or “post”?
  Cuz if it’s player–well–you’re just being silly
  - twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:53 pm
    
    Of course I was being silly.
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:46 pm

V for victory
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:46 pm

Flav, check your Email
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:47 pm

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

PERFECT GAME CAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:52 pm

Perfecto!
Salty Dog said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:52 pm

WOW. That’s up there with best Giant moments.
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:52 pm

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:52 pm

One word: awesome.
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:52 pm

Craig – I kneel in your general direction. FUCK YEAH
unca_chuck said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:55 pm

Flav,get yer ass to Vegas, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:58 pm
  
  That’s the bummer, he’s too late.
Flavor said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:55 pm

I’m gonna take an evening to digest the power I’m wielding these days. I would encourage all of you to *retweet* or re*post, or whatever, my last 2 predictions. I am fairly certain no one in the universe had the Belt first bomb/Cain no hitter exacta……
- Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:56 pm
  
  Let’s all do a shot.
  - eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:04 pm
    
    done, to my man Matt
  - TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:08 pm
    
    JUST DONE!! PILIPPINI RUM!!!!!!!!!!!
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:57 pm
  
  Just think if you’d actually bet on them.
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:55 pm

Uh-Oh, that’s not Chelsea.
gianthead said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:57 pm

Like the night Sanchez threw the no-hitter…I was not going to jinx it and comment on the Flap…was that really the first perfect game in Giants history….NY and SF??? Awesome, awesome!

And if you check my pre-season predictions, I said Cain or Bum would throw a no-hitter this year…but a perfect game…oh my….
unca_chuck said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:57 pm

Unfuckingbelievable! Matt was completely on. 120 pitches?
Del Mar Dennis said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:59 pm

What a waste of beer.
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:05 pm
  
  My thoughts exactly
unca_chuck said, on June 13, 2012 at 9:59 pm

130 years of Giants baseball. 1st perfect game.
gianthead said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:01 pm

that is awesome…Sanchez should have had the first…but just incredible…off to bed boys…and Angels just took a lead…
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:02 pm

I CANNOTT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!!!! OF ALL PEOPLE IT SHOULD BE MATT CAIN!!!!!
Alleykat said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:02 pm

If any Giant pitcher was more deserving of a “Perfect Game” it’sMatt Cain.The first ever perfect game in the history of the Giants by the most inspiring leader by example!!!
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:03 pm
  
  ….plagiarist…….. 😉
- Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:07 pm
  
  Ha Kat, you beat me to this.
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:03 pm

Posey, who hates crowds and celebrations, was first to Matt
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:04 pm
  
  Obviously you’ve never seen Posey at the Crazy Horse
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:04 pm

I’m stunned. That was one hell of a performance.
Chico said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:05 pm

Hey, Cheers Flappers! What a game! A round of drinks on me fellas.
mrmrbill said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:05 pm

Damn straight it should be Cain’er … he’s def “paid the dues”
Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:06 pm

I cannot think of a more deserving player to throw a perfect game than Matt Cain. If we didn’t know how speical this guy is after the World Series, we sure do now. What a great Giant!
Chipower said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:07 pm

Flappers! Wow! Perfection!! It is great to be a San Francisco Giant fan! Orange and Black Forever!
SanDawg said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:07 pm

i also didn’t want to post either for fear of jinxing. Amazing! unbelievable back to back calls by Flav! What was a longer shot to happen….Belt homering or Cain throwing a no-no?
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:07 pm

And some of you think my late night game watching is odd.
NOT NOW!!!
woo hooo
Chico said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:08 pm

I didn’t even read your blog post flav.. Holy Shit – you called it.
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:11 pm
  
  As Craig said- “why not”?
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:09 pm

A good night for a lot of my favorites- Matt, Vungo, Blanco, Dirty, (sort of cool he returned on this night), Belt.. and yes, Ted-of course I was being silly with “POTG nominees?” My goodness, you know silly.
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:12 pm
  
  You know me as well twin. Just having fun
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:10 pm

I’m sorry but I can;t help it..
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:11 pm

as Twin has always said: perfiect games include some fielding prilliance: Arias, Blanco and the Milk man will be with us forever.
2010 and now the way this team is playing? Sweet Jesus
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:13 pm
  
  Fuck yeah. PRILLIANCE, BABY YEAH !!!!
  - eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:15 pm
    
    the p and the b are so close on the keyboard
    🙂
    
    AND CAIN HAS A PERFECT GAME!!
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:15 pm
  
  Well, I’m sure a lot of other people have said that too. A great strike zone doesn’t hurt either. If you recall, Dirty had a pitcher’s SZ, too. A fantastic performance by Matt and as good a catch as we’ll see, from Gregor…
  - twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:17 pm
    
    That was to Edd’s post on defense.
Wilcojoe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:15 pm

Stuck in a hotel in Austin where they didnt have the game and was blacked out on my iphone…Thanks to my Dad for waking me up in the 8th and ESPN for live look in…AWESOME!
mrmrbill said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:16 pm

Zito comes up with something amazing tomorrow to follow up Bum and Cain the past two nights.
- mrmrbill said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:17 pm
  
  an unassisted 1-1-1 triple play! that’s my call..
  - eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:19 pm
    
    bases loaded, sharp hit ball to the pitcher moving left; tags first and throws home to nail the sliding runner from third.
    
    when magic happens it really happens
eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:17 pm

Great you were here, Wil, cheers all around
Wilcojoe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:17 pm

And FLav, you fucking scare me dude…Thats unreal.
Nipper said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:19 pm

History made tonight . First Giants perfect game ever in 128 years!
- eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:20 pm
  
  Nipper is such a sexist; herstory made tonight.
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:20 pm

You know it’s only 1:20 AM here, I’m thinking about watching the game again.
- eddacker said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:22 pm
  
  and I am all about ESPN baseball tonight, they can’t stay east coast this time
  🙂
  - Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:28 pm
    
    Good point Ed.
Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:21 pm

And the Angels hold on. A great night just got greater.
Irish Kevin said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:22 pm

Fuck the dodgers won it in the ninth
Alleykat said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:22 pm

That new 5 yr deal for Cain looks like chump change after tonight!!! Time to stick it to Sabes again Matty!!
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:33 pm
  
  Sabes is the dude who gave him the money- how is it you see that Matt is “sticking it” to him? Sbean is fucking ecstatic.
Irish Kevin said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:24 pm

They are now talking about the hit that went over 3rd base in the 4th, that was called foul!! Why do they bring up the shit
Macdog said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:24 pm

On a semi-related note, the Mets are appealing the lone Rays hit, claiming it should’ve been an error on Wright that would give R.A. Dickey a no-hitter.
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:28 pm

5 times he’s a taken a no-no into the 7th- 7 2/3 was as far as he got. After Blanco’s catch, it seemed fated. Let’s just hope a BFD isn’t made of the foul call on Schafer’s ball. I haven’t looked at it again- was it fair?
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:29 pm

I’m on the verge of tears. I really am.
Thank God for Blanco.
Flav, you’re on a roll. Please grant my earlier wish.
No–seriously–Please grant my earlier wish. Thanks.
Fuck. It doesn’t get better than this. I luv the Giants. And I luv all youse guys.
Goodnight, gentlemen (question mark)
- Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:38 pm
  
  Ted – I started tearing up like it was the WS again. A couple of shots of tequila helped me.
wswin said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:31 pm

Just got home, checked in on them and absolutely incredible. And Flav, two predictions like Belt and Cain two days in a row just kinda blows the mind….
- twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:35 pm
  
  I know I locked my doors tonight.
Wilcojoe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:32 pm

So Cain ties Koufax with the most strikeouts in a perfect game…WAs this the most perfect of perfect games?
Bozo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:42 pm

As you guys know it’s late here. In the top of the 7th my wife got up to see if I just passed out on the couch. Like Dirty’s no-no, I just looked at her and said “My pitcher is pitching a pretty good game here”. She just nodded and went back to bed, damn I love that lady.
- TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:52 pm
  
  Excellent
dirtnrocksnomo said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:50 pm

100+ years of Giants baseball 19,781 games. Matt Cain.
TedSpe said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:50 pm

Okay.
I had to come back for just a second since I noticed I forgot to turn my computer off.
So…
Matt Cain
Perfect Game
San Francisco Giants
June 13th, 2012
June 13th
Basil Rathbone’s Birthday…

There yya go
twinfan1 said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:57 pm

Just looked at the Tampa hit- should have been an error, no question- but it was in first inning- absolutely no way to know that Dickey would have still pitched no hit ball after that- it’s completely different after it was ruled a hit.
stixwiz said, on June 13, 2012 at 10:57 pm

Helluva call, Flav!!!

Giants been coming into tune in June. With Matt the Horse as Conductor the sweet music will keep on keeping on right through October. This team has got it. Way things look right now SF could have both the batting champ and the Cy Young winner. Halloween Machine never looked better.
