squeeze
My old HS b-ball coach, an italian guy who played ball with Curt Flood and Frank Robinson back in the day in Oaktown, had a favorite expression: “When you got em by the balls, you gotta squeeze.”
This is the squeeze game. We beat Sanchez or their pen, Tigers are down 3-0 and basically done. If they can rebound, they’ll be fired up and pointing toward another Verlander start game 5 monday when (in their dreams) they could go ahead 3-2. Imo saturday is the pivotal game. SF had best squeeze the life out of them, now.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I guess miggy will stop yelling at everyone else now?
Greatness is not given.
Greatness is taken.
Giants Baseball.
Greatness Continues.
Fuck Belt…Swing the goddam Bat!!!
That’s twice tonight you were “Caught watching the paint dry”!
Wow . . . Skype is so cool. Enjoyed meeting Wendy and Katie Flav. Equally important, Giants escaped that bases loaded situation . . . Whew!
Hey, I coulda spenD the rest of the game rapping with you. Wendy is still on cloud nine that you thought she was Kate when she came into the screen. I tried to explain the dark shadows of Skype to her but she’s been fairly bummed lately, so I’m letting her roll with that high. Safe to say she is a big *Blade* fan………
Damn, tell her I apologize for getting mixed up on her name (thanks for the edit).
Hey, the bottom line is that despite the darkness, it is readily apparent you have EXCELLENT TASTE IN WOMEN FLAV. More important, both Wendy and Katie were very nice to come over and say hello. I appreciate it. Fantastic that you are able to have a great relationship with your ex. 🙂
thanks, we do have a decent relationship at this point….But we are not together and haven’t been for years. I put up with the *mom when I want to be one* shit when she wants to play that role. Katie deserves any time she can get from her mom……..
Understand completely. My ex and I haven’t spoken for years, but we haven’t needed to, since no children were involved. That being said, when the divorce was final (2000) we remained friendly with each other on the “once in a blue moon” times we have chatted.
One pitch Lincecum…
Tripping on Lincecum being the Giants “go to” guy in middle relief. I love it. 🙂
Giants have a 2 time Cy winner in the BP. That is a deep pen.
Bochy’s creation of Timmy-Super-Sub falls into one of the great post season decisions in the history of ANY GAME…….
The fact that Lincecum would embrace that move and go out there and get the job done each night speaks volumes about his character
Agree with both of you.
It’s tough to say how much Timmy has to *say* about this super-sub role. But his performance is really the thing that speaks volumes.
And I DO think that he’s latched on to something in the relief role that has allowed him to *let go* a bit and just pitch—no worrying about pitch count or fastball speed….
He’s just managing this shit……….
Jeeesse is there a big ahole than McCarver!! Like I said before he picks a team (usually the favorite) and praises them from the word go.
Blanco was safe
Crawford has been money these playoffs
Yes he has!
Crawford has also been another player who has matured this year and shown character.
Damn. She did an excellent job singing God Bless America. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for her and the Air Force.
I need to say this again: Bochy has created something that has never been seen before. He’s got Timmy rockin’ it and taking over in the 5th-6th inning. it’s like he’s created some sort of reverse pitching rotation. Fuck the 7th and the 8th, he’s bringing his BEST into the 5th or 6th!
Trip out on it, it’s happening and Bruce Bochy is a fuckiing GENIUS….
it is like what Colorado was _trying_to accomplish with their 75 pitch count done the correct way.
hehe
The Rockies wished they had this Timmie “go to” weapon when they implemented the 75 pitch limit with Triple A talent.
Can Timmy play super-sub next year? I’am digging this!
“Not at 22 Million”… Brian Sabean
agreed. This is all about *right now*.
And what Bochy has created, this super sub pitcher, is just unheard of—at least to do this so consistently. He’s bringing in a lock down CY YOUNG pitcher in the middle of the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mind is blown right now, Bruce Bochy is better and smarter than me…….
Brad Pitt needs to lose/escape that contract ASAP. Sort of faggy IMO.
Back in HS we called those guys Pussy’s
I’m swelling…. I’m starting to swell….. I am incorporating this shit into my soul, every moment. I fucking love this shit and I’m so happy right now…….
this is some of the best baseball I will/have seen all my life.
with you 100%
Edd, your posts are my most preferred. They are the *least soupiest*. Haha, yes.
You engender all the feelings that I have in a game and you do it from 6000 miles away (or whatever it is).
I *Tebow down* and honor you as you flip the telly on when everyone else is asleep and you begin to secure *your time*
Yeah, I passed on a Halloween party where I used to live in the mountains for this game. Unequivocally correct decision and no regrets.
Just a little outside
Sandoval 7 for 11 in the WS
For me, this is almost exactly like the 2nd game against Detroit. Serene and peaceful, not doubting that 2 runs is sufficient to beat these kitty cats.
it’s carbon copy, isn’t it? This is Ground Hogs Day.
Frankly, I was more nervous during the first game, where we destroyed Detroit 8-3. That’s only because I didn’t know what to expect from Detroit and quite honestly, I was snowed by the media propaganda . . . which turned out to be bullshit.
I just don’t think Posey is seeing the ball very well this series.
i think you’re right
The ump is calling high strikes
the Quintin Berry switch didn’t work tonight.
Crawford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfrickingbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off the heel….. DAMNIT
Belt should have pickid that
that was crawfords first error in 60 opportunities. also SF first error of the WS
We are “Defense” Crawford Beautiful play
Oh and sit down Fatso !another K
As a 100% straight man I can tell you with 99% certainty that I would suck Brandon Crawford’s dick tonight for that play!
And there’s still a 100% chance that I will never suck Brandon Crawford’s dick tonight.
🙂
Uhh . . . lqtm.
The Andy Dirks switch tonight didn’t work
the super-sub-legend GROWS…….
Is Bochy going to let Timmy finish it?
Good question. Probably not, but who knows for certain . . .
Timmy looked like he could go 9 innings.
Timmy the “K” machine Lincecum.God Detroit sucks.Is their any team in the AL that can give us a game in the W/S? Oh I guess not!!
Maybe the comeback A’s… Would of been interesting to see those two go at it. Of course the rest of the Nation would of tuned out but who gives a shit about them
ESPN announcer just said:”the SF pitchers are putting up some incredible numbers” and added, “Detroit was favored; they had the pitching, they had the offence. It has turned out just the opposite.”
ESPN, the most overrated name in Sports
when it is all you got. Love the one you are with. I watch BB2N every night, it is all we get in the UK.
ESPN shows the NFL in europe, but it is on paid cable here, so I can’t watch football. I paid for mlb.com because during the regular season ESPN is all boston, nyc games. and I tivo BB2N cause, especially during the regular series, there is a lot of crap on ESPN baseball.
Like tonight, ESPN announcers and it is like I am watching a different game, no super slo-mo, no in-game interviews.
Shit, that is all we Giants fans heard about in 2010, the Phillys, better pitching, big bats, great D.
Who won the World Series that year again???????😏😏😏
i didn’t really care that Blanco was right or wrong on that pitch until McCarver started yapping about it and it was clear he was RIGHT…..
Gee Jim, I hope you weren’t wiping your ass with that hand.
Oh that catch by Posey, that’s why Posey caught Zito and not Hector.
The hector sanchez experiment didn’t work.
So we really are now facing a watershed moment here. If we hold sway….I’m going to stop. It’s my thread tomorrow and I don’t want to jink it.
But it is swelling, growing, it is becoming the next entity. We don’t know how it unfolds we just hope we are part of the impending insanity tomorrow (or whenfucking ever).
Well so much for our DH tonight.Guarantee Bochy goes with Huff tomorrow.Guaranteed stone cold lock.In what will be his Final apperance in a Giant uniform.
Timmy was lights out again. Great job kid
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh0000000000000000000000
Blanco!!!!
When Romo starts pitching, it is time to add brandy to the coffee, cause it is almost over
🙂
Melky wouldn’t of made that catch.. Great catch Blanco
Fox’s camera angle sucked
What a catch…way to get excited Joe, you four eyed fuck!
Our own Joe Rudi!
FUCKING GREGOR BLANCO IS.INCREDIBLE!!!
How’s ade defense again ESPN and others!!!!
wow, I didn’t see arias come in. did he pinch hit for timmy?
of course, I was getting the brandy down
CELEBRATE
One fucking win away…God Damn I don’t want this season to end!
Um, yeah. Well, ok…..Gimmie? We win> See you tomorrow for that thread .
we score we win
fuck all of the haters.
Flav, I have been thinking about something for the last 7 days at least and I haven’t said anything because I doubted that I could prove it. So, I am asking you if you can find the POTD from earlier in the season, where I said, “I guarantee that the Giants will win the World Series.” If you can find the POTD, that would be so cool. Thanks!
🙂
Was that the one where you agreed with me?
I’m kidding, I’m kidding…
lqtm
Nope…on THAT ONE, he was agreeing with me, Michael.
Ya think? HAHAHA.
Absolute dominance.
BALL GAME!!!!
Thanks Detroit for making it easy on us this.whole W/S!!!
FUCK all the ij-its that can’t see this team for what it is: BRILLIANT
Romo, with every save you can see his confidence just grow as the closer. Great job Giants pitching.
Woo-Hoo!!!!!!!!
what she said
The pre-game huddle in the SF dugout tomorrow will be kicking shit in the faces of detroit. without meaning too, of course.
Blanco and Crawford won that both ways. Loved this game.
So D can’t score on the road without the DH, and can’t score at home with one. Giants flat out dominating every facet. That was the squeeze I wanted. Finish this tmw and Verlander can rot.
Can I just say, that was fucking awesome!!!! Ayeee!!!
yes, you may
check in?
and I hear there is only 36 hours of rain and wind left in your area?
Good night all, I have so many thoughts and questions, I just don’t want to jinx it!!!
Night all.
‘Nite Mike . . .
Tthe Horse to wrap it up,doesn’t get any better than that for all Giant fans and especially all the loyal Flap Nation and our leader “BF AKA Craig”!!!!!
27 outs to go for another W/S domination performance in 2012 and of course another Monster Parade!!!!!
3-0.
3-0?
Pfffffttt….
This isn’t real.
Is this real?
It’s really there………
Cain for the sweep
would be so sweet
Wow. I figured this would be easier than the NLCS, but , , , , , , , , , ,
Nevermind.
Outstanding game by the Giants, outstanding being able to join you guys.
Have a great evening.. 🙂
Edd, he was a defensive replacement for Pablo that the announcers didn’t bother to tell us. Timmy didn’t bat, AL and all that.
cheers, and DOH!
THis BBOTD has given up 4 runs in 6 games.
Trip out on that before you dismiss her.
She should be nothing but embraced,,,,,,,,,
We should all cu . . . Umm, never mind. Ferret? You in bed?
Oh dear. Dial a circle jerk??
Hallelujah, Brother Flavor! LMAO…Can’t wait until tomorrow night or Monday, so we can see who takes her place!
What’s that now, 32-4 in the last six games? Keep on keepin’ on.
ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU Alternate Programming, ESN . . . Fuck, I had to channel surf all this college football shit, before I finally found the World Series/Baseball Tonight.
g’nite Mike, Fugazi, Kev
and y’all
Typical Giants win.
In an atypical situation.
I guess “luck” gets you 3 straight wins in the WSeries.
Let’s not let these slugs get back into it.
Cain should plan to bear down and work to finish this thing off tomorrow…
Vogy worked his butt off, and got some crucial DP grounders, and taking care of Cabrera with the bags loaded was just huge. Great work.
Timmeh was lights out. They had no chance against him. Crawford booted that grounder, and Timmeh shrugged off that shit and mowed down the next guy like it was nuttin’, just Fuck Yeah!.
And Romo got it done. They don’t know what to do with him. He didn’t have his super duper stuff, but it was plenty good. He might be a tad tired, dunno. But, he’s game, for sure.
Blanco, Pence, Crawfish — way to go. They got it done. 2 was all we got, that’s enough with this pitching going like it’s going…
