Wanting To Be More Than A Wild Card
There are a lot of games that, on paper, don’t really interest me.
Tonight is not one of those games….
Game on.

A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
what a way to start this series. Dodgers are probably starting to think about their SF Friday night whores……
They better spring for the pricey ones. Cheap Tricks played at Budakan, but cheap trix can give you more than you bargained for.
One other time earlier this year they wailed on Ryu…in LA. Scored about 6 in the first I think
I have often said, Arias at first is the best offensive decision ever.
batting around in the home half of the first is fun.
Edd, your true visionary hindsight on that needs to be acknowledged. Well done my man!
Interpreter saying “you suck tonight” in Korean…
Helluva start, helluva start!…
Best start possible!!!
Raking Ryu!
Yeah send out your interpreter Bums, like that’s gonna help, one from column A,one from column B and a healthy helping of killer P’s..
Double your pleasure, double your fun ~ double down, double down, Bumbos on the run. Amazingly, Ryu got through the inning on only 27 pitches while MadBum had to throw 17.
Kept telling people weeks and weeks ago that Panik was a keeper. When you got three .300 hitters leading off the lineup chances are close to 100% vs most pitchers that you will have a baserunner in the First.
One bad habit the Giants have had for some time is that their bats tend to let up when they have scored an early lead. These are the Doghairs tonight. NO LET UP.
Yeah Ryu’s physically& mentally worn out by this Giants assault, and his interpreter agrees that he’s sucks noodles!!
Keep ’em hanging at 2nd, Bummie.
See you, Ryu…
Eat in to the Pen early, diggin that in the overall scheme of this series.
Into the pen early, nice.
I asked this a few days ago. As Salt pointed out Arias pretty hot lately, so is there room for him next year here?
Have they abandoned the road Los Angeles uniforms?
I did also say that I hope Arias does well tonight, before I said all that other stuff about him. 🙂

We almost got to see Alex Guer-one-ear-o bat for the Dodgers.
When did Pagan start sliding feet first? I wonder if he’s doing it all the time and if it’s easier on his back.
He’s actually the best head first slider I’ve ever seen.
I think Willie mentioned before Panik not doing well getting the runner to third in the situational AB.
I was out a bit, WTF happened to Ryu?..
No word yet. Possible injury.
He just boarded a kayak in McCovey Cove heading for Seoul…
The interpreter asked Ryu..
Who are these guys?
OK that’s what I was talking about yesterday game—Pagan’s leading off, gets to 2b no outs, Panik hits ball softly in the air. GB to right side gets him to 3b. Not good baseball.
Yep, kid has to really focus on hitting to the right side then…
Well,the 3 doubles that followed made up for that.
Oh,yesterday’s game. Nvrmnd
One of my neighbors is there tonite, supposedly 5 rows in from the Giants bullpen mound. Jealous… 😉
When we’re up 4-0, it’s nice to check the spam filter and not see any posts about cum and jizz eating or cocksucking or cun*ts and whatever else the trolls can come up with when we are losing…..
Arias now 2 for 2. I’m going to keep dissing him, maybe he’ll hit an HR next time up.
Awright, Blanco has to move these runners…
So are the Dogpile gonna burn 7 pitchers tonight? Fine with me..
I was thinking the same thing. Go ahead and burn ’em all…
LOL at me. You rock, Arias.
Any other teams playing this late in the year with a starting pitcher who has more HRs and as many RBI than the first baseman?
The Arias shit is funny, but even yesterday bottom of order made things happen—Blanco Ishi Crawford, even Perez got in on the act.
As Miller pointed out, it was only 2-0 before Arias rolled that one into RF. Next thing you know it’s 4-0 after a walk and Craw’s rbi.
On paper, bottom of order can’t compete with LA all stars and big money guys, but they are making it happen.
Damn.
Coulda blown this puppy open, and didn’t. Not good…
Shit bases jammed, no outs, no runs, a bit painful to say the least.
Maybe it helps keep Bum focused.
Ryu had “shoulder stiffness.”
Ryu more then likely had neck stiffness jerking his head back after every hit ripped hard off of him.
🙂
Or throat stiffness.
If Bum had hit his 3rd grandslam of the season, wouldn’t that have been about the most insane thing in the history of baseball? That would have been beyond epic.
Good to see MadBum doesn’t take his ABs back out to the mound.
Nice curveball. Big K on VanSlyke.
So the most insane thing in the history of baseball remains Elster hitting 3 HRs in the opening game of AT&T Park. (Pac Bell Park in those days.)
That is definitely up there, zum…
impossible to argue. Great point.
Man, the Dodgers have a .185-hitting catcher. Ellis used to be able to hit. I wonder what happened to him?
That AB lasted longer than Ryu’s outing.
Turner’s been a tough out this season. Has an OBP of about .390.
Thanks Gonzalez!!
You could really see the difference in Puig that inning. Bum hung a slider down the middle to him, and Puig hit a groundball single. Puig was crushing that kind of pitch 420 feet earlier in the season.
Love to watch Bum pound those RH inside on the hands.
Little stress there, but nice shut down game so far.
This pitcher seems to come pretty close to not coming to a stop with his hands…
Crawdaddy!
Bottom of order rules.
.Pitcher Tony Collanger’s (sp?)RBI’s 2 grand slams in one game against the Giants was pretty insane as well,
Brandon Crawford!!!
Smokin the HR!!
So much for Frias owing us, as Mudbug would say..
I’m getting the Doghair TV feed. Vinny is in good form.
“A healthy Pagan makes the Giants a much better team”.
Succinct, accurate, objective. At 86 or whatever, he still gets it done better than just about all…
Sellout with 41,147 paid. That’s fewer than some of the bogus sellouts we’ve seen. WTF?…
Every team can set the number of what they will consider a sell-out. It doesn’t have to match the number of seats. So, all the teams can have suspect sell-out numbers. The Giants haven’t said what their “sell-out number” is. MLB lets the teams do this.
Van SlyKe.
Van Stryke.
9 pitches. 9 strikes. 3 Ks. That’s pretty impressive.
I’d shave that skraggly ass beard, were I him…
ESPN has just announced on their Sports Center: “we are about to have a one game difference in the NL West”.
Tell MadBum he can chill.
Surprised ESPN is paying attention to this game. Isn’t a Jetergasm going on somewhere?…
Biggest differences between the two lineups is that the LaBumbos are getting most of their production from three or four key players who receive huge paychecks. Giants are more balanced. Consider the RBI night that our Scorpion, the stinger at the tail, batting 7th and more recently mostly 8th, has had. Don;t know how to research it but i would suspect that CrawDaddy, now at 62 RBI’s has one of the highest totals of any NLer consistently hitting so low in the order. AL stats would not count because of their silly Dink Hitter rule.
How did Pence hit that for a knock? His swing was totally discumbobulated, weight and balance totally messed up. Still punched it to RF. Nice…
One of the sportswriters called him a “washing-machine in a phone booth.”
Good analogy.
I sometimes think Pence swings like the Tasmanian Devil also..
“Correia knows how to pitch in this ballpark.” Kruk must’ve missed Correia’s 4.51 career ERA at AT&T.
Adrian Peterson arrested for child abuse. More bad news for the NFL. Peterson whipped his 4-year old with a switch he took off a tree, and put bloody welts all over his son’s legs. The boy’s mom took him to the hospital, and the police were called.
MadBum might get close to 300 Ks by the time this one’s over.
That whistling sound you hear is Ray Fosse’s ego deflating.
At 97 pitches with 6 outs to go, will BB15 keep Bumgarner in there to maintain his running 3-hit shutout?
It looks like he’s done. He was getting congratulatory handshakes and hugs in the dugout.
I wouldn’t.
Freaking Ishikawa ”
Splash Bomb”
Somewhere Twin’s smiling😃
Ishi splash!
Mercy rule!
Not till Kuiper hits his second in the cove Loo!!!
Time to unveil Baby Bochy?
Ha!!! Why not?!!!
Yowza! Splash baby!
Ishi – hits it to the Fishis!…
Ya gotta luv a kick ass on the Doghairs…
Ishi-kayak?
Splashikawa. Nice.
SplIshi splash
NOW, I remember Correia…
As for Morse, he can take his time nursing that oblique…
Yeah. Return of the Prodigal Sons: Ishi 3 – Correia 0.
How’s about a Timmeh appearance?…
Guess both Zumiee and Ishiee answered my question as to whether Bumgarner would pitch the 8th.
I’d rather see Bochy’s kid than Gutierrez.
I’d rather see Bochy’s dad than Gutierrez…
Looks like that questionable replay challenge in the 1st inning ended up not mattering one iota… 🙂
What exactly is an iota?
And how come they never seem to matter?
The fact that you don’t know what one is indicates just how little they matter.
Shouldn’t Susac be in there as well?
And deprive Buster of the chance to get his brains rattled again?
Make Buster earn his paycheck, I guess.
Vinny on the Farmer John feed is even questioning why Posey is still in there…
A’s go belly up again, 4-2 in Seattle. Epic collapse going on over there…
So the Giants teed off on the South Korean and Correia.
