It’s complicated, layered, controversial threads like this one that keeps the Flap’s Edge razor sharp. I did this entire post with Dragon speak. It is awesome.
Nip, I can never tell what’s real with your posts but I’ll assume this one is. I said “dragon speak” but it’s really just the little mic button on my iPhone. I’d never used it before, didn’t even know what the button was. Hit it by accident.
Anyway it is a very cool feature of this phone.
“It gives you goose bumps when you think about it,” Bud Norris said when told the Giants might be thinking about trading for a strarting pitcher. “Obviously growing up there, being a big Giants fan-and I rooted for the A’s, but I was more of a Giants fan. That’s a possibility. It’s all trade rumors, as they say. But if it were to happen, it would be a dream come true to play for my childhood team.”
Great quote. But as you said the other day, there will be a lot of competition for him, they won’t pay what he’s gonna cost.
You confirmed for Flapalooza yet?
I can’t say I know why, but it seems to me this year that the standings show greater W-L gaps between very good and very bad teams — not every division, but noticeably over all. I blame it on scheduling, partially. I also do not assume that the Dodgers will stay this bad. The NL West will have the closest race, top to bottom, in my view.
Roy Oswalt. I’ll say it again: Roy Oswalt. Remember that name? (I was at his last game as an Astro, in Pittsburgh.) Boom. On the mound for the Rockies. Been awhile. But he bolstered my all-or-none theory. 11Ks, 4 ER in 5 innings. And the Nationals have not been hitting. He lost. But he had 11 strikeouts. And lost.
I’m following the game via pulsating digital dots. Is Gaudin hurt? Otherwise, why would Bruce lift him in the fifth at 49 pitches, man on 2nd, 2 hits allowed? I don’t get it.
He recovered the ball and threw the runner out before walking around in obvious pain. Bochy came out, Chad threw 3 practice pitches, handed the ball to Bochy and walked off.
Um, has anyone mentioned that Koehler, The Faucet, has not given up a hit yet? Did you know that? Koehler is working on a no-no. Did you know that? I mean, not that anyone is superstitious or anything. Can you imagine that? No hits. So far.
Rosario has looked really good in his past couple of outings. Gaudin, meanwhile, pitched pretty well tonight and clearly was prepared to tough it out on the mound, but instead did something even gutsier — he admitted that the bruise already affected his pitches and walked off.
btw, the website I rely on for weather predictions, windguru.nz, shows a lot rain falling during the game vs. Puig on Monday night. One good thing about that website, however, is that they update constantly, and sometimes things improve.
fuck, pagan surgery? damn. tough loss, and tough noonan on not one but 2 home runs that never were. and a wounded pitcher. rumours Panda may be back Sunday.
As everyone knows, the Queen is a huge horsewoman, loves her some horse flesh, and owns many race horses. Yesterday her horse won; first time in 207 years a reigning monarch’s horse has won the race considered the featured race in the featured event, Royal Ascot’s Gold Cup.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

How does that work? Is it expensive?

Another work of art. Is that a Gaudin? Bravo.
Here you go Flav…From today’s Houston Chronicle:

Working on it.
Get ‘er done
I should just drive. Start in August. If I had any backbone, conscience, or soul, I would. “Travels Without Charley.”
Good play by Noonan.
Be quick but don’t hurry, as they say. He got set to gun down Pierre without a scrap of wasted motion. Sure wish he could hit a big league FB.
Since Amy G talks through her nose, I wonder why she moves her lips?
Thanks, Chi (Chuck) for your comment at Bardball.

Saw that. 5 innings. Insane
The Giants definitely drafted a young kid in the first round.
It’s my paper boy!!!! Now I have to hope he’s been throwing it in the tree on purpose..
hahaha, *grins*

A line drive hit him hard on the elbow.
thank you; usually ESPN provides that sort of note but had not as of yet; sheesh, hope he is okay
Thanks. Watching 4th Q and missed what happened to G
He recovered the ball and threw the runner out before walking around in obvious pain. Bochy came out, Chad threw 3 practice pitches, handed the ball to Bochy and walked off.
The Giants are getting no-hit by a rookie with an 0-5 record, and an ERA over 5? No-hit?
none, nada, zed, zilch, nil
Um, has anyone mentioned that Koehler, The Faucet, has not given up a hit yet? Did you know that? Koehler is working on a no-no. Did you know that? I mean, not that anyone is superstitious or anything. Can you imagine that? No hits. So far.
Wait, what? This guy for the Fish hasn’t allowed a hit yet.
Sun of a gun.
Santa Maria.
no hits.
Madonna mia, nulla hittore
A hit!
We did it!
….and out trying to steal.
existential buzzkill
Congrats to the Heat. I didn’t like either team, and didn’t watch much of the series, though.
Spurs gave it everything tonight. Made me a fan. Just too much Bron.
Rosario has been impressive this time up, no?
Surkamp with a good outing tonight. We might see him yet this year.
How big has Arias been?
Rosario has looked really good in his past couple of outings. Gaudin, meanwhile, pitched pretty well tonight and clearly was prepared to tough it out on the mound, but instead did something even gutsier — he admitted that the bruise already affected his pitches and walked off.

Nice rips Belt and Arias!
that’s windguru.cz
My math shows Rosario’s at 8 1/3 1 run 10k’s since being recalled.
I always like me some Arias. Said that in the playoffs last year. Comes up BIG at the right time. OPERATIC.
Damn.
Affeldt is the Manu Ginobili of the Giants tonight.
pathetic 0-2 pitch
ugh
Affeldt was looking good until he left that pitch up.
Alright Giants, time for a fish fry.
BOO HOO!
Not enough runs!
Who boo you, Nipper?
Now the party can really begin in South Beach.
LeBron for Mayor!
It’s a 1-2 punch:
“SJ Giants announcer Joe Ritzo reports that Pagan was unable to run out a grounder to second in 9th. Limped to 1B, then fell to the ground.”
“Pagan carted off the field back to the Giants clubhouse.”
Affeldt has been pretty crappy since he gave up that Goldschmidt HR in ‘zona. Giants lineup is very challenged right now…
And probably looking at a month or more for Pagan.
Night All.
fuck, pagan surgery? damn. tough loss, and tough noonan on not one but 2 home runs that never were. and a wounded pitcher. rumours Panda may be back Sunday.
