2010…2012….2014?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 3, 2014

Well, if heart and soul have anything to do with pitching, I like our chances today. And having watched Strasburg pitch a number of times, I’ll take the fire and moxie from Peavy over the robotic pitch counted Strasburg.

As we know as much or more than any baseball fan, anything is possible. If you had told me when I started the first Flap blog over at blogger.com (as a joke because the Splash blog kept crashing that day) that 6 years later two Giants fans who didn’t know each other would meet at my blog, become proud members of a supernova known as “Flap Nation” and one day meet up in Ho Chi Minh City for a “knowing dude head nod”, I woulda called you crazy….

And yet here they are yesterday (Blade on the right, PaulinAsia on the left with the peace sign):

Let others have the day. We own the night. Flappers around the world, UNITE!!!!!!!!!

Great story line, and awesome picture. I have had a pleasure to meet a number of the other Flappers in person (Blade a couple of times). Hoping to meet Paul sometime, too. Ed (who used to hold down the United Kingdom for us is back in California, and I hope to meet-up with him sometime soon, too.

I mentioned how special this blog is a thread or two back. And I will say it again…Thank you Craig, from the bottom of my heart. I love this place, and am lucky to have met some of the finest SF Giant fans on the planet through your blog.

What a fricking game last night. The Royals are interesting, to say the least.

The schedule has me pissed-off. Will have to follow the game from work. I am helping work a compliance audit in Phoenix. We have had a few slow days…hoping like hell for another today, so that I can follow the game.

Bring on the natty nats.

Let’s Get It On – Let’s Roll – GO GIANTS!

  pretty crazy — but not all that surprising: as I was composing my post, you were saying much the same thing…and I didn’t know it until my comment popped up. Cool.
  - Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:49 am
    
    I think we all have a common love for the blog, and this special place that Flav has provided, and also, a keen appreciation of the friendshipt that we have kindled over the past six years or so. It is some cool stuff.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:36 am

First LurkerMike from Brooklyn, welcome. [I inserted the proper vocative comma.] Great email to Magnus and great post to end the previous thread, LurkerBoy. Your post and email, amplified and transmogrified by the photo of Blade and AsianPawlie above, illuminates why the Flap is beyond baseball. Whether it’d be rallying to Twin or Snarkk facing illness, or someone facing a loss, or a family triumph, or travail, or discussing food or Kierkegaard or obscure movies (ahem, Tedspe) or northern Minnesota winters or old rock or blues bands, this is a true brotherhood and sisterhood (Ferret, anyone?). All here, lurkers or exposers, even trolls, make it a vibrant and dynamic community. And at the core? The New York and San Francisco Giants and what they have meant and what they mean in our disparate lives. Magnus, once again, thanks for having us. It is not a gushy exaggeration to say this place has changed our lives. It has mine. [Awaiting wiseguy one-liner from DJLoo.]
p.s. If I could’ve, I would’ve included the names of dozens of current and former regulars. But — as with the Academy Awards — I’d forget someone. Y’all know who you are. #OCTOBERTOGETHER
- Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:51 am
  
  Great post, Pawlie. My sentiments, exactly. Well said, my friend.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:41 am

Hey, Gianthead, you going to either of the games? My friend Pat Hogan, former Syracuse mayoral candidate, is down there to see his Nats. We’ve been mildly taunting each other. I should’ve gone down there with him. But as I said on Twitter, I am just going to save my money and travel to the Giants in SF. In the World Series.
- Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:52 am
  
  I like your priorities and the way you think, Mr. Kokonuts. Smart man.

Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:56 am

I had not gone back and read the end of the last thread (as I usually do), but it is cool that you decide to throw out at least one post, LurkerMike.

Hoping you reconsider and join the fracas on a more regular basis. It is always great to add new blood, and it appears (from the little you have shared) that you would be a good addition.
Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 7:59 am

Was in Scottsdale last night to exchange a bracelet for my lady (one I purchased while here for spring training). It was odd…the first time visiting that I was not here for Giants ST ball. Had my obligatory pizza from Grimwolds…great NY style pie (from a family that migrated out here years ago).

I will be going out next week on Wednesday and Thursday to catch a couple Scottsdale Scorpion games. There are, I think, six Giant prospects (well, Duffy is one of them) that is on the team. The guy I really want to see is Daniel Carbonell, the young Cuban OFer of ours.

Baseball is Life. The Rest is Just Details (well, almost).
- DJLoo said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:11 am
  
  You sure you don’t mean Grimaldi’s, Chi?
  The Grimwolds are probably still in Wally World…
  - Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:31 am
    
    LMAO, Loo. Not sure how the hell I butchered that one. Still early out here. Yes, Grimaldi’s. Probably not as good as the pie you get on the street in NY, but pretty damned good in the AZ desert.

blade3colorado said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:20 am

Paul and I were in the Xu Bar (pronounced Shoo . . . Paul correct me if I am wrong) and I said, I am going to check the Flap out. I think Flavor is going to post our photo from breakfast at the Liberty Parkview Hotel . . . Lo and behold, he did, along with an excellent written post. Both Paul and I are humbled. We did the obligatory fist bumps and knowing head nod . . . Then Paul suggested a couple of photos at the bar we were at . . . Umm, along with the ladies who were chatting us up. I sent Flavor the photos, but have no idea whether they will grace this blog. Regardless, as Chi and Pawlie eloquently conveyed, we both love this place. Call it home away from home or whatever you feel is apt. I just know that this is where I get my fix for all things Giants.

More important though – as both Chi and Pawlie have pointed out – I have met some wonderful people here at the Flap and I have no doubt, I will meet the rest of you before my last breath.

P.S. No idea if this is true, but Paul indicated the game starts at 3PM and both Paul and I were wondering if we would wake up to the last few innings or a final score. Regardless – GO GIANTS!

  Happy Trails, Brothers. Enjoy, and yes…GO GIANTS!

Alleykat said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:23 am

It’s logical for Hudson Loo,since he’s pitching game 2.
dirtnrocksnomo said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:29 am

I didn’t realize Frandsen and Schierholtz were with the Nationals.

I heard on the radio coming into work that due to the 300 EST start time the shadows/glare could come into play. That works both ways so whataryagonnado? I’m hoping Peavy can harness his emotions today. It’s good to be intense but that doesn’t always help in the bright lights of the post season when everyone else picks it up a notch. Gotta Jump on Strasburg early and get it going.
- Flavor said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:38 am
  
  maybe Peavy learned something from Bum the other day. He’s had a lot of playoff experience (mostly all failures) he needs to (like you said) harness his emotions a bit. Could go either way with Strasburg
twinfan1 said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:37 am

I wrote this yesterday, it seems in line with the tenor of this mornings comments. BTW, Steve and Paul- where may I find your Fountain of Youth, you guys look great…

“We’ve all come about our love for baseball in our own ways. I loved it as a boy and playing it made it even better. Then for many years it was a sometime diversion as my work took 12-16 hours of my day. I had season tickets for over 3 decades but my friends and customers went more than I did. Baseball as the National Pastime is a thing of the past- life is faster now, so much is available with a click and a tweet. I liken baseball to the foods of the Shaker women- the cuisine was in their heads and hearts, not put to paper. It was up to the food historians and writers like Ronald Johnson to find what was in their hearts and preserve it for today. And so it is up to those of us who remember the game of our youth, to pass along to a new generation the joy of baseball when it was the game that little boys dreamt of, when small towns were abuzz as the World Series approached and *everyone* wanted to see the powerful Yanks humbled.
Which brings me to today. I rediscovered the game when I grew older and my health deteriorated. I became a NUT, a FANBOY-and miraculously became a young boy again. I often dream of the game, I remember the players of my youth in Pittsburgh. For years I had remembered what we now call a “walk off”. A player named Johnny Powers hit one of his few home runs into the teeth of a strong wind and raised his arms high into the air as he soaked in the cheers. It wasn’t until many years later that I found out that it wasn’t Powers, it was Bob Skinner. And then I realized that it didn’t matter, what mattered was that it made me recall what the game once was and I why I loved it as a boy and now again in my older years. It slows life down, it’s a game that you can savor as you savor a fine wine or a walk in the woods, a doze in a hammock, it’s a game that makes us realize that life is to be enjoyed slowly -as it passes by all too soon.”
- Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 8:59 am
  
  What an awesome post, Michael. And like LurkerMike mentioned in his email to Flavor, I have learned much about the game of baseball from you, and others here. It is one of few of many benefits of being a part of this wondrous community. Hope you and Merna are well, Twin.

“It slows life down, it’s a game that you can savor as you savor a fine wine or a walk in the woods, a doze in a hammock, it’s a game that makes us realize that life is to be enjoyed slowly -as it passes by all too soon.”

You could select any sentence or your entire post – it all spoke to me (and I’m certain others here as well). However, this last sentence really encapsulates the way I feel about baseball. Thank you for eloquently saying what I feel . . . but would fail miserably in trying to convey.

* Also, thank you for the kind words . . . Travel invigorates and sates my curiousity for the world.

Hey Snarkk, loss to U of A doesn’t look so bad huh? Put up a better fight than vaunted fighting Ducks did, and on road no less. PAC is wide open this year, and even L by Stanford shouldn’t hinder chances of league title.
- snarkk said, on October 3, 2014 at 9:56 am
  
  Yeah, that loss really sucks now. Cal will be exciting in it’s future losses. If they just had 2 guys in the secondary that could play, they might win 2 or 3 more league games. I’m guessing they can get 1 more league win, and that’s it…

It’s been pointed out similarities to Philly in 2010….ie: big favorite scary offense great pitching…
Specifically, Philly pitcher (Holladay) was coming off a no-no, as is Zimmerman – game 2/starter. We know what happened to Roy.

Feel fortunate today to be self-employed and able to clear the calendar. One client, a big Giant fan, was all too happy to oblige.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I’d been down, literally, for a couple days, had to lay on my side ( one of my meds went haywire and I couldn’t walk). Lots of time to think when the world is sideways 😉
Tough to type, though, so it took me awhile. Merna thought I was writing love letters to my old flames..
Anyway- love to you all and go Giants..

Yeah whoever in MLB made the decision this should be a day game on the West coast is a fucking moron. That is one thing the NFL does right. Fuck the East coast. games start at 5:00 PM West coast time!! I don’t mind missing a few innings cause I get off at 5:00. but missing the whole game!! Fuck you commissioner!!
Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 9:48 am

I usually don’t read much from the Bleacher Report, but this article does a decent job of breaking-down the games keys, and laying out past trends, etc.

Of course, none of that shit really means anything…you have to go out there on any given day and get it done. Let’s Go Giants!

Regarding twin’s POTD –
Love it, twin – I’ll never forget when you and I first started going back and forth on The Splash. That exchange was epic, and I was instantly hooked. Over the years since then, as RL has gotten busier, I have disappeared for stretches, but it is posts like these that keep me coming back. I really love baseball, and I really enjoy stopping in here when I can and reading posts like these from you and others here.
My favorite uncle (my Dad’s bro) lives in Santa Cruz and is a huge Giants fan – we go back and forth, texting during the games all the time – you remind me of him.

Midnight here in Ho Chi Minh . . . Hitting the sack. Bring home a win you guys. 🙂
snarkk said, on October 3, 2014 at 10:00 am

Peavy’s history of playoff performances is less than stellar. Hopefully he’s due for a good one. Strasbird can be had, and the Giants have got to him before. The heavy velocity pitchers don’t seem to be a huge hindrance to the squad, and he’s RH, so that’s good. Matt Williams helping out by throwing RHPs against the Giants early. And, hey, it’s hotter out here than in DC, so that’s a good omen for the Gmen…

WE ARE IN. Postseason, Baby. Greetings to Twin. That was a great piece of writing ~ straight from the heart.

Are those nittery Nats nervous yet? They should be. They may be a tough Nat to crack, but we have a couple Crackers on our team, ready to set the stage for another four-beer shower.

May Jake be fully connected into his most powerful A.C. current today as currently the team is playing in D.C., Urination’s Capitol dontcha know. May our defense be stout and supportive and may the Nats offense be abortive. May that Panik button result in some more base knocks and may a White Shark attack give Strasburg the jitters while Panda, Buster, the Reverend and the Brandons create more clamor than has ever been heard in the Halls of Congress.

GO GIANTS!

Whatever happens in these playoffs, I’m grateful my team is IN.
For those of us old enough to remember, there were so many years as Giants fans when we were in the wilderness, that we wondered if we could ever just become regularly competitive, let alone get into the playoff rota fairly regularly. In those days, a gritty win over the Doghairs in mid-season was about as great a success as we could enjoy. As far as I’m concerned, these past few years are the Golden Age of being a Giants fan. You’ve got to enjoy it while it’s happening…
- Chipower9 said, on October 3, 2014 at 10:33 am

Where in the hell has the Clown been again? He was MIA for a while, and when I inquired about him, he showed up. You lurking, John?

At this rate, I will be real happy if we get 6 out of Peavy…especially if he continues to put zeros up on the scoreboard for the nats.

The 3rd was only 15 pitches. Progress . . .

  Yeah, but not great when you consider 15 the top end of what you want to see your starter throw per inning.
