The Future Is Now. Or Maybe Not. No, Probably Not.

Posted in Uncategorized by pawliekokonuts on July 27, 2012

Enough of the obsequiousness. Enough of fellow Flappers saying, “Great thread! Good topic!” This lazily constructed bit of verbal fabric (i.e., “loose thread”) will put a leaden-thump of an end to that, for one day.

Girls, today we will prognosticate the results of this weekend’s series with the Dodgers. (If it is a four-game series, better yet a demonstration of my morning haziness.) You will notice in the following that I haven’t even bothered to name the Dodgers’ winning or losing pitchers or HR hitters. Can’t be bothered.

FRIDAY:

SF 5 LA 3

WP: Cain Save: Casilla HRs: Schierholtz, Belt

SATURDAY:

LA 7 SF 3

LP: Zito HRs: None.

SUNDAY:

SF 4 LA 2

WP: Vogelsong Save: Affeldt HRs: Melky

Have at it.

Uhm…oops

Fuck.

But we traded for Scutaro.

They better knock that fucker down tomorrow…

  What the hell was Hanley exactly doing? Making like he was using binoculars or something?
  That was a new one.
tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:27 pm

Oooookay. So. 2 outta 3?
snarkk said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:29 pm

Nah, HanRam won’t make any difference…

  on his fifth time through the LU, in an at bat he shouldn’t even have had, he finally got a hit, hitting a spinning, floating hanger—then he acted like a jackass.
  You know guys like that? I do, and they aren’t winners.
Flavor said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:32 pm

Hanley’s a 2nd rate pussy. His idea of winning a game (before it’s won) is to trot around the bases with some pussy gesture and smiling like a fucking circus clown for 10 minutes afterwards? He’s 1-5 tonight. He can keep celebrating his few success this year with gestures and whores (later) but he better stop acting like a low class out-of-towner if he wants to ever be a part of a pennant race.
You’re not in Miami anymore, you fuck………

  As crude as that was…poetry my friend. Pure poetry

  He did exactly what they got him for. You can carp on how he looks doing it, but the HR counts just the same…

    anyone could have hit that shitty pitch. Baseball is about producing over a long period of time. I’m betting that he drops back into his usual, casual under-producing shit spot in the tank. I don’t give a shit about a lucky swing on a shitty pitch. He was 0-4 before that gift.

  The whole stupid doggies team have been acting smug and arrogant all night. I actually hate them so much more than I did three hours ago.
unca_chuck said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:34 pm

Nothing like warm Melk
shaman138 said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:35 pm

I hate Hanley Ramirez. Hate. That home plate ump fucked us over the whole game.
- tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:37 pm
  
  See Flav’s 10:32 above. Poetry
- shaman138 said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:39 pm
  
  And he just called two outside corners strikes
  Fuckhead.
snarkk said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:38 pm

Here is where not DLing Panda and being short a body really hurts. With Burriss on the bench. Yikes…
tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:46 pm

Well…fuck.
tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:47 pm

Anyways
snarkk said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:48 pm

Typical Giant/Dodger tilt. As expected, Gyros got handcuffed by an unknown, then rallied against the pen. But, Romo got screwed by the ump, and that left the door open. We desperately need another power bat, and that ain’t Scutaro. Night gents…
- tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:50 pm
  
  Yeah, snarkk, Romo got screwed all right. Night, sir.
  I miss Sandoval
Flavor said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:51 pm

I’m ok with this. We lost because we couldn’t finish off a shitty pitcher and then the umpire fucked us to give Hanley a free swing at a hanging spinner…..Hanley’s gonna eat that shit-eating grin. You hit .200 tonight you fuck and you respond with gestures and a 10 minute shit-eating grin? Can you imagine Buster Posey doing that? And he might turn out to prove me wrong about him, but his last few years he’s been nothing but a loser. LOSER. His team has lost, he’s been *the leader* and he’s failed expectations. That’s a loser.
Shit eating grin = payback later…….

  Flav, once in a while, as crass as it seems. you gotta give yourself POTD. Cuz this was one of them.
  Excellent
  - Flavor said, on July 27, 2012 at 11:17 pm
    
    thanks, but I’ve already exacta’d the POTD and it’s the first time I’ve ever given it to myself. Probably no room for the trifecta. But my point has been made so…,moving on.
  - Flavor said, on July 27, 2012 at 11:19 pm
    
    what the hell, go big or go home. That’s a saying that pussy Hanley might want to learn. WTF kind of a name is that anyway?
  - tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 11:56 pm
    
    hahahhaha Too fuckin funny. Just checked for the fuck of it.
    Excellent
tedspe said, on July 27, 2012 at 10:56 pm

Whence one loses to a fucketh opponent…one fucketh thus oppenent anon.
In other words…Giants….2 outta 3
L.A.
Fucketh themeth

(I guess Greeks *do*lispth)

Goodnight lads
DJLoo said, on July 27, 2012 at 11:03 pm

Ted’s right, BF…Your 10:32 was even better than your 10:34. Put ’em both up there. The first POTD coupled entry dead heat.
- Flavor said, on July 27, 2012 at 11:15 pm
  
  done. And why are you still awake? lol. I’m hitting the sack, leaving early tomorrow.
Berger said, on July 28, 2012 at 1:01 am

We were tied, took Nate out, and lost. Any questions?
Berger said, on July 28, 2012 at 1:07 am

Flavor- I do not know how to find your email. Mine is fortyninerberger@yahoo.com. If you email me your cell # I will see you on Saturday. If not, fuck you! Especially since I am smoking a picnic roast.

the trifecta of POTDs I saw the goggles thing, what a *.

wRC+ is not just a predictive tool- it is ( as Craig correctly noted when a poster used the “Runs Created” stat to show Belt’s productivity) an imroved version of “runs created”, and is park and league adjusted.It is a real time stat. Quite simply, it is an all encompassing measure of a player’s offensive contribution. The higher the number the better.
