One Day, One Game…To Play Another Day…

Posted in Uncategorized by chipower9 on October 22, 2012

I am going to try to keep this short, but it is difficult to focus, what with all the thoughts and emotions that have encompassed this joyous ride. Anyway, here goes…

First a couple of tidbits. I was listening to KNBR on my drive this morning (which I ALWAYS do, unless I am on the led sled). There were a couple of things I found really interesting.

First, to date, for this NLCS series, the Giants have had either NLCS or WS MVPs throw out the first pitch.

Will “The Thrill” For Game 1.

Benito “Benny” Santiago for Game 2.

For Game 6 yesterday, Jeffery “The Hack Man” Leonard was the man.

That leaves only ONE. And the mention was could it be Cody Ross? Just the talk about these first pitches, etc., gave me chills and goose bumps. So, would Ross throw out today’s pitch? Would he be welcome? I yelled to no one in particular (as I was driving alone), HELL YES! (And next year? Ross a Giant?? Well, that’s a different topic for a different day, because it is NOT YET time to fire up the Hot Stove.)

But I want to rewind and discuss The Hack Man. There was mention this morning too about an instance between Roger “THE Humm Baby” Craig (while manager of our Giants) and Hack Man. The story goes that Leonard showed up one day (not sure this was in the club house, dugout, etc.) with his hat on backwards. Craig politely told him to turn his hat around. There were supposedly some long stares, etc. but eventually Leonard turned the hat around because he had “huge respect for the man.” Anyway, I just thought that was a really cool story, and was another instance where I got the chills and goose bumps.

So here we are. GAME SEVEN, Flappers!

Seriously, it took FIVE elimination games to get here. Who woulda thunk it?

Game 3 – NLDS. San Francisco Giants 2, Cincinnati Reds 1. WP – Sergio Romo.
Game 4 – NLDS. San Francisco Giants 8, Cincinnati Reds 3. WP – Tim Lincecum.
Game 5 – NLDS. San Francisco Giants 6, Cincinnati Reds 4. WP – Matt Cain.
Game 5 – NLCS. San Francisco Giants 5, St Louis Cardinals 0. WP – Barry Zito.
Game 6 – NLCS. San Francisco Giants 6, St Louis Cardinals 1. WP – Ryan Vogelsong.
Game 7 – NLCS. San Francisco Giants starter: Matt Cain. Let’s GET IT ON!

One Day, One Game…To Play Another Day!

Cain needs to pitch these guys in, not go away.
James said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:52 pm

Belt stole a base.
Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:53 pm

Thank goodness the Giants scored first, hopefully that let Matt relax some, couple more runs would help!
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:54 pm

Fucking Craig. Really dislike that guy.
Macdog said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Matty up the middle!
Wilcojoe said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:56 pm

Cain do!
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:56 pm

Blanco was flying. OK, another 3 runs and I will take a breath.
Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:57 pm

Matt helping his own cause!!
unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:57 pm

Matty!!
Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:58 pm

Anyone hate Carter as much as I do!!
ChiPower said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:58 pm

Matt mother fucking Cain! BOO YAH!
unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:59 pm

Keep shutting ’em down Matty.
Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:59 pm

  Go on . . .
- unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:01 pm
  
  . . . should burn in hell . . .?
  - Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:21 pm
    
    Yes he should
unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 5:59 pm

I think I heard a FUCK YEAH from Ferrett.
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:01 pm

Yeah, I hate that fucking fuck McCarver as much as you, Kev. He sucks DeadBird dick!
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:05 pm

4 for 23…sit the fuck down, Hollifuck.
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:05 pm

White Shark!
Macdog said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:05 pm

DEEEEE-FENSE!
James said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:05 pm

I don’t understand the boos for Beltran. Holliday I get. Grrrrregorrrrr!
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:07 pm

James – I don’t know…but I really don’t like Beltran. If he was rocking our colors, I’m with him, but he is the enemy…fuck him. I would boo his ass, too.
- blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:11 pm
  
  Agree . . . fuck Beltran. Besides, he did jack shit for us last year (no playoffs), besides padding his own stats.
Macdog said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:08 pm

Scutaro hits a single on radio feed before Fox comes back from commercials.
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:08 pm

Scoot Scoot Scutaro!

MVP! MVP! MVP!
PawlieKokonuts said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:09 pm

Scutaro. Exact same hit. Redux.
Macdog said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:09 pm

C’mon Buster, time to join the party!
James said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:09 pm

Bury these motherfuckers now!
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:10 pm

PANDAMONIUM!
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:11 pm

YES! Time to jump all over these mother fucking DeadBirds NOW!
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:11 pm

C’mon Buster! You are DUE, bro!
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:12 pm

Yeah, like really due.
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:13 pm

Pence…you are so OVER due dude. Come on!
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:14 pm

I feel a grand slam coming on . . . Regardless if it’s Lohse or the fuck they bring in. I hope Ferret has rolled with a couple of my taunts to the reliever coming in. 🙂
mrmrbill said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:15 pm

denniszu said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:15 pm

Macdog said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:16 pm

Night of the Hunter!
Wilcojoe said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:17 pm

blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:24 pm

Complete total meltdown of Cards. Loving it.
denniszu said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:25 pm

This is for all those who talked about the Reds and Birds as so overpowering and the Giants as a 2nd class team lucky to make it to post…. I’m not even watching the game and just hearing Buck and the crowd screaming ….. in the backround…… Bring on the Tigers!
Wilcojoe said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:28 pm

Time to ship those Cardinal 2012 NL Champ t-shirts to Africa!
- chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:29 pm
  
  lqtm…good one, Joe…
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:29 pm

HAHAHA . . . Their double play combination sucks. Pressure too much for all the Cards.
blade3colorado said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:30 pm

Now, I am glad this fucking series is on Fox and Cards Homer Station.
mrmrbill said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:31 pm

this is looking like SF vs TX game 2 WS from 2010
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:31 pm

Hey is that with one or two shots of rum? (The Clown threw that one out earlier.)
denniszu said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:32 pm

Only feel bad that Mike Matheny has to see this and not Tony LaRussa… Now that would have been real sweet to see.!
mrmrbill said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:33 pm

Speaking of “pouring” … starting to get a fair dose o’ rain here in San Rafael. Looks like it’s headed towards the game.
James said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:35 pm

Fuck, the Giants hitting in tough luck there!
denniszu said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:35 pm

Oh and another sad feeling is that Paulie and I didn’t get to Finnarty’s in NYC to see this game vs the 3-1 rain delayed loss…. damn!!
ewisco said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:36 pm

I’m trying to watch the game here but the twiscos have two buddies over to watch the game. and even though the wife is working late, she keeps calling to talk about the game. go away! i’m watching here.
Alleykat it's said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:37 pm

Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:43 pm

chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:43 pm

Scoots!
Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:44 pm

Who loves Brandon Crawfords play in the field now!!
denniszu said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:46 pm

McCarver is trying to bring some interest in the Cards by reminding all the Cards rally vs the Nats in game 5….
Can’t going to happen.
- Irish Kevin said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:51 pm
  
  I hate McCarver, always have always will, he is always bias to one team, even if it was not Giants playing, he picks a team he wants to win and reports biasly
unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:51 pm

Got to love Scutaro’s ole grab there. I’m, sure he’ll get brushed back next time.
mrmrbill said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:51 pm

The official scorer should give Pence 2 hits for the slo-mo shot.
- unca_chuck said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:52 pm
  
  3
ewisco said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:55 pm

I could be wrong but Cain has to go six. Not so much for the final outcome but to carry some mo into the ws
ewisco said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:57 pm

Didn’t we have a left fielder named mel something?
twinfan1 said, on October 22, 2012 at 6:57 pm

I was doing some chores, how’s the game going?
- mrmrbill said, on October 22, 2012 at 7:02 pm
  
  Tolerable. More or less.
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 7:00 pm

12 outs to go, boys…(and girl in the yard)…
chipower9 said, on October 22, 2012 at 7:06 pm

Cain at 87 pitches. With an efficient 6th, he could come back out for the 7th!
gianthead said, on October 22, 2012 at 7:06 pm

keep it up
