Game Time Mother’s Day Thread!

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 11, 2014

Unfortunately, I know the reality of all mothers not being created equal. I got to spend the morning with my fantastic mother this morning and it was the perfect start to one of the best days of the year. I hope you all get to do the same or honor your mom however you see fit. Great day for a game. Go Giants.

Agree Flavor. I barely missed the snow storm (leaving Denver) flying into the SF bay area last night and am happy to be with my Mom in Sunnyvale . . . Where we are about to watch the Giants game.

  You’re in town? Sweet. Wanna get some Gold’s action in while you’re here?
  - blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:19 pm
    
    Absolutely. Give me a shout when you want to do this . . . Side note – only bad thing about being at my Mom’s house (at least until tomorrow, when they go on their Alaska cruise), is that I can’t yell “FUCK” at the top of my lungs when my fantasy players do a face plant as Gio Gonzalez and Marcus Stroman did today. 🙂

This is the thread that should have been titled “Ouch”
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:25 pm

Wow! Surprised Buster held on to that.
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:26 pm

Score one for The Swipester!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:33 pm

I’m fairly certain LA exported the “wave” to MLB parks. I’m happy the beach ball fad hasn’t had the same success.
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:41 pm

I always thought it was Seattle, but really don’t know. Maybe they were just the best at it…
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:50 pm

Bone head play at 2nd.
Manny said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:50 pm

Keystone Cops are way to being behind on that double.
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:51 pm

I dont know if I have ever disliked a Giant as much as Adrianza. He should be DFA’d post haste.
- DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:55 pm
  
  He should be DFA’d posthumously.
mannyman46 said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:51 pm

Our way, shit I can’t spell right I am so pissed
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:58 pm

What a throw! And two for the Swipester!!!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 2:58 pm

Nice throw by Angel, with an assist by the turtle, Gonzales. Ha.
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:03 pm

Lets the ball down the middle go by for a strike . . . The one almost hitting the dirt, a base hit single. Go figure.
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:05 pm

HOLY SHIT!!!!!
mannyman46 said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:05 pm

Hicks yeah mofos.
Macdog said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:05 pm

Hicks man!
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:06 pm

Yes!!!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:06 pm

Fuck you Kershaw!
salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:08 pm

.what I especially like is Hicks acts as if he’s been doing this for years
salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:12 pm

Don’t hear much about scutaro
- blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:15 pm
  
  On rehab with Glass Sanchez in the Caribbean.
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:16 pm

Is Hudson ok? He only threw 78 pitches.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:17 pm

I know what his shortcoming are, his BA sucks and he’s got average to below average range. But his arm is strong and he hits dongs. If we had a healthy Scoots right now would you want him playing instead of Hicks? I don’t think I would…..
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:23 pm

Sheesh, frickin’ hour later, New York renders their decision.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:26 pm

ready for a mind blown stat?
Kershaw has throw 2,172 curve balls in his career. That is the first HR ever hit off his curve ball.

  That’s freakier than the Double Rainbow!
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:27 pm

Craw-some!
- willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:30 pm
  
  yeah! grab your glove Hanley.
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:30 pm

Mudbug is a Stud SS!!
Best in the NL, dude makes all the plays!!
DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:34 pm

Much as I resented his Dodger-ness, it’s really sad that Don Drysdale is gone…
- Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:36 pm
  
  I’m not too broken up about it
  - DJLoo said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:47 pm
    
    McCovey vs. Drysdale:

    Flav: Scully said Holliday was the first and Hicks is the second. Still amazing.
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:39 pm

Thank you Donnie Baseball for not walking Buster.
willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:39 pm

Hudson at 78 was done. Besides the first pitch (aarrgh) belt high one on inside corner to Puig that left the yard, after the mistake by defense on Hanley’s ball he gave up 2 more hits. Good thing Pagan gunned down A Gon.

Boy, second guessers will be all over Mattingly for pitching to Posey with base open.
- WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:47 pm
  
  Thanks Willied, I missed that half of the inning.
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:41 pm

Donny 2 step fucks up another decision!
Pitching to a red hot Posey with 1 st base open? Buster made him shit in his pants! Thanks Donny
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:45 pm

I could give a shit less about a players “walk up” music and can’t believe it’s getting the attention it gets. I don’t even hear it, I’m watching the game.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:46 pm

Scully now reporting the 1st regular season bomb vs ‘Shaw’s CU that I reported about 20 minutes ago. #scoopedbyflavor
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:47 pm

Hate the Dodgers. That said amazing factoid in OC register today. Greinke has TWENTY starts in a row with 2 runs or less. Next closest in baseball history is 14.

Decisions like that re Posey int walk and pitching to Sandoval. Unreal. Why anyone pitches to Posey ever with Sandoval behind his is crazy. A reminder when we are dissing his decisions occasionally that we are SO lucky to have Bochy
- blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:57 pm
  
  Sportdude – you are spot on. I know the bay area papers will discuss/mention this, but I am looking forward to reading the LA Times tomorrow and see what they say about Donnie Baseball’s faux pas. What an idiot.
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:47 pm

Lopez??? Opps see previous post…
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:54 pm

Arias has to catch that!
SanDawg said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:54 pm

Give me a fucking break. Arias can leave with Adrianza as far as I’m concerned.
- blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:55 pm
  
  Agree. What a pussy.
- Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:02 pm
  
  Arias&Adrianza :
  The AA boys can both go to AA meetings permanent!!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:54 pm

WTF Arias? Jeter would never have committed that screw up.
salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:56 pm

Thanks, Red
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:57 pm

Arias looked liked he would rather bang the chick in the stands then ketch that pop-up that Belt easily makes!
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 3:58 pm

YES!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:04 pm

Thank God Hicks doesn’t have a brain. Sorry, I had to say that. 🙂
- Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:19 pm
  
  I liked it Blade.
  That was a real head- scratcher to Hicks. If Wright threw the heater on that pitch, Hicks might of had to quit while you “AHEAD”
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:22 pm

Yes! Slider baffled him.
SanDawg said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:22 pm

That was HUGE
- SanDawg said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:23 pm
  
  son of a bitch
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:23 pm

Eat shit Puig, and take your sorry ass stare back to the bench Meat!!
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:23 pm

Fuck!
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:24 pm

Fucking Whore.
Macdog said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:25 pm

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:26 pm

That was fucked! Goddam Ramirez!
Nailed that slurpie slider and hit a 1 iron!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:27 pm

Hudson deserved the win. Shit.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:27 pm

I’m not sure if there’s a worse current commercial than the Mercedes one with Sergio and his dad. It’s just awful. Anyway, I’m wondering if his dad high fived the dude next to him after that Hanley dong or if he said “FUCKING WHORE” like I did……
- salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:33 pm
  
  Still a chance for Pablo to make me right on my prediction
  - salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:34 pm
    
    Oops wrong spot
willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:30 pm

Great day for Pagan, he’s made so much happen.
- blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:31 pm
  
  Agree. What a difference from last season when we played without him.
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:31 pm

Memo to K – Janssen hasn’t been Janssen all season.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:34 pm

If Pablo fucks this gift up……
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:35 pm

Someone must have nudged Donnie Baseball and given him a copy of Baseball 101. Ha.
SanDawg said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:35 pm

A fucking incredible game.
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:35 pm

fantastic.
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:36 pm

Well the table’s set for Panda?
And he didn’t eat it!! Way to go Panda!
salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:36 pm

Well he’s got 3 hits today…might be coming around FINALLY
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:36 pm

No shit Flav . . . A gift was right. That’s his 3rd hit I think.
salty said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:41 pm

Hector the late inning savior
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:41 pm

Nice insurance run. Hector has been nails lately.
Alleykat said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:42 pm

That was a huge by Sanchez picking up Hicks there!
willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:42 pm

line drive in the score book…Mr. Clutch comes thru again.

?: who pitches 10th for SF?
Macdog said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:43 pm

C’mon, bury these motherf—–s.
Macdog said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:47 pm

Blanko.
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:48 pm

We are officially in their HEAD.
- willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:58 pm
  
  Crawford sure is. They gotta be thinking don’t hit the ball anywhere near him.
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:56 pm

Loving this…
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:56 pm

Crawford!!!
Flavor said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:57 pm

Do not hit the ball near Crawford. You will lose.
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 4:57 pm

Any word on if something is wrong with Lopez? Seemed like many chances to use him today.
sportdude said, on May 11, 2014 at 5:05 pm

What a game. 3/4 form LA. YES!!
blade3colorado said, on May 11, 2014 at 5:06 pm

Great game and series. Knocked their ACE out of the game. Knocked their CLOSER out of the game. Only thing we didni’t do was rape, pillage, and destroy LA. Have a safe flight home boys! 🙂
Macdog said, on May 11, 2014 at 5:06 pm

3 of 4– yessssssss!
willedav said, on May 11, 2014 at 5:07 pm

Yeah, 3 out of 4 in their latrine.. L for Jansen and Kershaw got bailed out of one.

Enjoy third place, and all it cost you.
WilcoJoe said, on May 11, 2014 at 5:07 pm

Great game, even better roadie!
