Our Shitty Hitters Can Go Fuck Themselves, Hard.
Are mid-game threads allowed to call out what a shit-fuck offense we have? And SHIT FUCK doesn’t really get to the heart of it.
Anyway, this is a mid game thread and I’ll bounce right back to puppy dogs and cotton tails tomorrow. At least until 9/1 when I will let the swear words FLOW………
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
If bunting is all we’ve got, every batter should try it. Can’t be any worse.
I’m out. (Yeah, right.)
Yeah, right.
Just so I didn’t write all this shit for nothing (left the original on the other thread) . . .
Flavor, if you are well and go to work tomorrow, file a report of “Unsafe/Unhealthful Working Condition” with your workplace safety representative or (hopefully) safety professional. These reports are required by law to be acknowledged within 24 hours (written letter of acknowledgement). Said letter will state they are investigating this incident and will provide you a report within _______ (usually, no later then a week). Last, but not least, insist upon a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on the chemical material(s) used in your workspace. THIS IS IMPORTANT! it will have info on the OSHA permissible exposure limits (PEL) for an 8 hour and 40 hour time weighted average (TWA)*. Additionally, it will have the specific personal protective equipment necessary to work in the area (organic vapor cartridges/with a fitted mask . . . by the by, only people certified to wear a respirator) and engineering controls (local exhaust and general ventilation, visqueen barriers with negative pressure, etc.).
Shoot me an email if you have questions. Oh yeah, tell your daughter, you’ll be around at least until her HS graduation. 🙂
* Good job Pawlie!
By the by, if you do not get action from your workplace. File a report with Cal-OSHA . . . They will drill them a new asshole for not following through on your concerns.
Just went back to the last thread. Good on both of you, Pawlie and Steve, to come up with the low down on MSDSs and exposure limits, etc. Flappers have to look out for one another…
We’ll see how much when I’m homeless…
It was a nice safety squeeze. But yeah, our offense sucks balls. Heard pre-game that the Giants are one game over .500 against the West. Well, they only have six games left that are NOT against the West, so they better figure out how the fuck to beat the losers like the Sherpas, D-Sux, and Dago if they want to join the post-season dance. Gail gets so tired of me saying regularly, here we are runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs…and what the fuck happens…same shit…stranded runners. So Damned Frustrating…
Don’t know how to forward this, but I do remember seeing Mark Davis get his first W of the 1983 season July 30 vs. Dodgers, a 7 hit complete game 8-0 shutout. Most enjoyable
Check out the box score from that day: Lemaster led off, LU included Brenly at 1b, Jonny Rabb at C, Wellman at 2b, Youngblood in RF, plus the Hac and Chili D., Frank as mgr.
Dodgers: Russell, Landreaux, Dusty, Guerrero (who regularly destroyed SF) Mike Marshall who had 3 hits while rest of entire team had 4.
Like Mac, I did see my share of dominant games against SF. Saw Nolan Ryan wipe them out, in Astros bumblebee unis. Sat on 3b side and recall seeing him freeze Darrell Evans with unhittable curve ball…while my drugheaded cousin yelled at Jose Cruz in LF til Cruz flipped him off behind his glove.
Gotta laugh at that thread header (thread-er?). This must be The Flap After Dark.
Yeah, flav with all these positive threads reminds me of one of those scientology freaks that look at you all weird.
True story–my best buddy from HS got married a few years after we graduated in a scientology wedding that I went to at their building somewhere in Santa Clara early 70s. His poor cringing parents…talk about feeling like a fish out of water, all these people were just very strange.
Yeah, I met a few right out of active duty Air Force when I went back to college. Most of them were fucking odd-balls.
Oh fuck me. That was low.
Yeah, I don’t recall a lot of great Giant pitching performances by the Giants, but do recall a complete game shutout by Mike LaCoss Us the Game in 86. But as others have alluded, it was usually the opposing pitchers pitching the kick ass games.
“Buffy” was a great nickname…
I love the new thread header (threader?).
I was thinking along those fed up with this SOS hitting lines before I flipped over the last thread when Huddy finished his work in the 7th. The kick ass offense of April to mid June seems like about a decade ago. WTF happened to it? I heard Miller say that Morse donged 13 HRs in the first 63 games, then 3 HRs in the last 68 games. That is a WTF stat differential if ever there was one. Another hidden injury deal we’ll find out about in November?…
Expo Dennis Martinez always seemed to kick our ass. Another thing that I don’t know is real or not, but it always seemed like it.
Dennis Martinez admitted to realizing he had a drinking problem when he found himself constantly wondering how cold the wine would be back in his hotel refrigerator after the game. He was thinking about this on the mound.
No shit. That’s the weirdest story I’ve heard in quite a while.
Imagine if he was a neurosurgeon…
I seem to vaguely recall a series the Expos and dodgers had where he Martinez thru a no hitter a day after the expos were no hit themselves…am I right Loo?
Rings a bell but might be the wrong Martinez…not sure
* Snarkk, agree about Breaking Bad and about Aaron Paul. In fact, one reason I broke up with my gf in China earlier this year was she hated the Pinkman character. Clueless. 🙂 Oh, and I’ve gone back and streamed all 5 seasons again in my boring down-time this past year.
* Speaking of China and indoor toxicity, I’ve had some health problems that might indeed be heavy metals poisoning (sorry if I mentioned this already). Once I get out of this toxic country next month, I’m checking into an int’l hospital in Bangkok or Saigon to get completely flushed and detoxed. Ugh. Craig, hope you and your coworkers are all ok.
* Dominant pitching: I remember watching Rags’ no-hitter against the Sox on that July 4th back in the early ’80s. Pretty damned untouchable if I remember correctly.
* I’m finding “Orange is the New Black” to be rather tedious. Although occasionally, there are some great one-liners, which might be why it was classified as comedy.
* I’m not seeing these games, but Pagan *seems* to not be doing much. Anyone know if he’s still hurting?
Not sure if Pagan is hurting, but he sure the fuck is hurting me.
You know, I DO remember listening to the Count’s no-hitter on radio back in ’76. Who it was against I have no clue. Really added to his brass ball cockiness, which was a cool thing for the previously dead-assed Giants since the ’71 post season ended. I was a fan of The Count, for sure. He was the Timmeh of his day, sort of…
Thought we were gonna ride him and Pete Falcone for a decade…
We’re in front!
Crap, I’d totally forgotten about Pete Falcone. Wiki says SF traded him to the Cards for Kenny Reitz. Reitz was a decent player, good fielding 3rd sacker, but I don’t remember much else of him…
Whoop! Bout time that suck ass offense did something!
Stay hot, buster.
Buster > Brown
Tige > Buster > Brown?
Yeah, we need Gerald Demp to stay hot through early October…
I don’t recall details of the games (too many years and brain cells ago), but I remember listening to the Cardinals as a kid on the radio, and hearing some great games with Gibson on the hill.
WTF? Both runners should’ve tagged.
Right.
Fundamentally fucked-up.
Giants do need to hit more, i.e., string hits together and score. But, first, IMO they need to get their baseball fundamental shit together. This error / give away runs stuff has to stop. They got a little lucky not giving away a run in the first with those two errors…
Estes’ baby just wandered out of her bassinet and was tagged out…
ya she tried to tip toe into 2b…
Speaking of great pitching performances, Hudson is spinning one tonight.
Right on, Chi. Time for Casilla to close this out.
I don’t know how the fuck I got confused (earlier today) thinking that Petit was going tonight. What the fuck ever. As I mentioned earlier (two threads back) will be interesting if Tim gets the call to relieve Petit. How fucking strange would that be for Lincecum…
Posey has been mostly disappointing to me so far but he had a good road trip and he’s raking now. all the O last night with 2 bombs and now a clutch LD. Then he guns down the base stealer. Playing every day too.
Bochy has been rolling too. Starting Pagan on the 3-2 was good because otherwise Posey hit the ball too hard for him to score.
Duffy has 2 hits tonite.
Blanco last night had 2 nice grabs early in LF
before Bum got in the groove.
8 solid tonight from Hudson leaves pen set up for weekend plus Petit day game. Still warm here, could be hitter friendly high scoring game tmw.
I would have left Hudson in there…
As I entered send, Casilla hits the first batter. Sweet…
Oh boy. Castillo looking hinky
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK….
Oh fu k. That ws quick.
Fuck…come the fuck on bullpen.
Unreal …Romo will be the closer on Fri
You’re probably right, but Casilla always battles and never gives in…
Shades of the last time colo was in town.
No shit Tom…my thoughts exactly (Hudson should still be in there). Fucking dude was dealing tonight…
Seriously, Chi. Sometimes I wish Bochy would throw away the book. Huddy was dealing in the 8th. Selipe Alou would have left Huddy in probably, he went with hunches and what his eyes told him. Bochy pulls the usual switches that make him comfortable. Then, Miller says Morneau was 5 out of 10 lifetime against Casilla. WTF?…
Fall behind 2-0, serve one up to the NL’s leading hitter. Well played, Casilla.
He wasn’t at 100 yet was he?
I don’t give an S if he was at 130. He was dealing in the 8th…
Worst road team in the majors and we can’t take em.
Hudson was at 87…
Bullshit move, sorry. If he was at 87 and laboring, OK. Unless Huddy told Rags he was done, I’m calling out Bochy for managing like a robot…
Get Casilla the fuck out of there!
Does McHenry wear #8 because of the Herman’s Hermits song?
Do half the people here know who Herman’s hermits were?
I’ll see you a Herman’s Hermits, and raise you a Dave Clark Five…
Big DP.
OK…they bailed Casilla’s ass out on that one. Now get that fucking run back and win this bitch.
Fucking great play by Duffy!
I like the kid. Both of them…Duffy and Panik.
Duffy to Panik to ishi.
Did anyone one on earth have that as our DP combo at the start of the year?
I would have said who’s Duffy, Scoots must be in Miami, and WhyTF is Ishi back?..
Whoa, Charlie, you beat me to it.. 🙂
Just win this bitchwad.
Back in early April, who could’ve imagined a key double play of Duffy to Panik to Ishikawa in the heat of a race to the playoffs in late August…
Shit, it could be “You’re Gonna Like These Kids” all over again…
All 3 rooks could be in the SL tomorrow.
Up to Posey.
Little league HRs and little league Ks with Pence.
Jeezus, this is the best Weiss has got? Tied up 2-2 in the 9th and he brings in the guy with 5.61 ERA, 82 innings 95 hits 28 BBs for 1.49 WHIP. League hitting .290 off him.
Gotta make em pay!
Pagan doesn’t run and pence swings at shit over his head. Yeah, we’re looking at 15
Dude behind the dish jumped so hard on that foul that his hat fell off…
Buster bomb!
Stay HOT BUSTER!
Fucking Posey has got a burr up his ass the past few days!
Whoa boy!…..
Buster Ballgame!
OVA!
congrats…feel better Flav
Hot Fucking Damn!!!!!!!!!!! Buster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posey on cue.
Stay hot my friend…
Yes. Feel better Flav, and make sure to follow-up on the suggestions by Pawlie, Steve, and Paul. That shit is nothing to be fucking around with.
Makes staying up past midnight worthwhile.
Whole Lotta Posey saves Bochy from a
Whole Lotta Second Guess questions at the post game presser…
No shit…
Huh. Just showed that tonight was Bochy’s 1,600th win.
And the cherry on top: “That was career win No. 1,600 for Bruce Bochy. He passes Tommy Lasorda and now stands alone in 19th place all-time.”
How many WS titles does Lasorda have? Two?
Not sure, but fuck that fat fucking fuck, Tommy Lasagna….
Yep, two. But one was a strike year, so that shouldn’t count.
So, other than a bigger mouth, bigger gut, and autographed photos of Sinatra, I don’t see what that fatass has over Bochy for HOF qualifications…
Rooster loves him.
lol
Had to rewind and watch that one again. What a fucking poke…eye-high mistake and the fucking tattooed that one.
It’s his blog and Flav can do whatever he wants, but changing the mojo to the all negative mid game thread and one of best ever imo definitely got desired results.
Knock yourself out, big guy. It’s all good.
I second that!
Frankly I would have walked him…;).
And he’s doing it while catching …I guess he was tired of reading about switching positions.
Fuck. Buddy was at 87 pitches. Not sure why Bochy put I an apparently ailing Casilla.
I know Charlie…that is why I was SO FUCKING STEAMED. Posey bailed Bruce’s ass out tonight…
Lasagna won two WS titles…Time for Bochy to pass his ass on that number, too.
Night, ladies. Get the series W tomorrow. What a SWEET ASS WIN!
Luv the win, feel sorry for Huddy not getting a deserved win…
Forgot to mention…someone was talking about what happened to the offense from April and May. Someone mentioned how Morse hit almost all of his HRs early in the year, and I just remembered…a big part of that early production was courtesy of Brandon Hicks. Unreal.
Yeah, and Crawford, too. And Belt. Light years ago, huh….
That was me, Chi. Yeah, Hicks was on an unreal roll, then fell off a cliff. Morse hit 13 of his 16 dingers essentially in the first half of the games played so far, then his power game just vaporized. I always default to a medical issue, so I’ll blame it on a typical secret Giants injury, giving him the benefit of the doubt. He did get a long double tonite…
Buster suddenly seems dialed in. And all business. Almost stoic. Nary a smile on his face in the video I saw. Whatever it takes.
And if he doesn’t make that backhand stab…no Dp
Casilla’s blown 4 saves now in 15 save opportunities.
Not a good rate. So, what do the Giants do for the closer?
I’d give him one more opportunity, if he nails it, keep going with him….
Yeah, and as I noted a few days ago, most of them in the last 2 weeks were blown. Only good news on this development is that I got the “vulture win” in one of my fantasy leagues. 🙂
YES!!!! Gotta give Buster some love after I dogged him last week..
