Down 2 Games to 1

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 25, 2014

I wonder what it feels like to shell out $700 for a seat to a World Series game and watch your team lose. Serious question. I’ve been to one game, in 2010, and the memories from that game are as strong and as awesome as the day of the game. But would they sustain over the time had the Giants lost? It’s gotta feel like a win, as fan, to not pay the $700 and to not have to watch your team lose (in person).

It was fantastic to see Pawlie Kokonuts and Sarge yesterday. Freaking Pawlie was getting interviewed by someone associated with the Giants within the first 5 minutes that we hung out. Sarge braved the knot hole experience. He sent me some photos that I’ll post later….

Last night’s loss felt like a lot of regular season losses–can’t hit, can’t win. The pitching was fine. If the Giants can’t figure out a way to score some mid/late game runs against the Royal bullpen I don’t know what to say. Other hitters have broken through against them. This “HGH” stuff is overblown. They’re just men.

The weather stinks right now. Cold. Windy. It was raining earlier this morning. Weather God’s say the game isn’t in jeopardy. I know that several Flappers are hooking up pre-game to toast The FU and to socialize. Have fun up there, boys, sorry I couldn’t make it today.

Maybe Bochy should have given thought to starting Duffy and Arias at 2nd and 3rd for the pure rightie on lefty matchup. Panda looks shit awful right-handed. Voggy has just pitched himself out of a contract for next year with the Giants…
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:45 pm

Hopefully Petit remembers how to pitch…
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:46 pm

this fucking guy should have started the game.
- gianthead said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:49 pm
  
  We can’t even think about Game 7 right now but I would seriously be thinking of Petit starting….
  - DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:53 pm
    
    They’ll need him to relieve Peavy in Game 6 if we get to it…
snarkk said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:47 pm

NOW he brings in Petit, after the barn door is open…
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:49 pm

KC dude just got AT&Teed
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:52 pm

Win or lose this game – I have to hope Pence “calls out” his team mates with some sort of fiery speech. This shit can’t stand going forward, especially from a team with World Series experience, which I still view as a distinct advantage over the Royals (even though they might be better then us athletically).
- gianthead said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:54 pm
  
  Maybe he needs to pull them into the clubhouse after these at – bats for an ass-lighter…
  - blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:56 pm
    
    Works for me.
gianthead said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:53 pm

One thing I really don’t like is that there are too many fucking Royal fans in the park. Who fucking sells their playoff tickets???? And then to Royal fans??? …motherfuckers…the old angry Giant Head is re-emerging
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:54 pm

I know we haven’t exactly scalded the ball, but Bochy has brought less than his best when it comes to pitching. He has ignored Petit time and time again for who? For what? Fucking Voggy? Fucking Machi? I’m disgusted with his managing this post season
- gianthead said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:55 pm
  
  And I think we all realized that it was a must start for Morse as well…
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:54 pm

half the game is over, NOW you’re bringing Morse in? Fuck Bochy.
snarkk said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:55 pm

None of that clusterF inning goes down if Voggy just friggin locates first base. Instead he’s 6 feet off the bag. Wtf??
- Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:57 pm
  
  he got fucked up by going after the ball and then re-routing to the base. It happens.
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 6:56 pm

oh fantastic, another Perez at bat. FUCK THIS
SanDawg said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:00 pm

That is fucking amazing
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:01 pm

Petit with a hit!
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:01 pm

Way to go Petit! Helping out himself . . . Nothing more you can ask for then that. Umm, except a 3-run bomb.
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:04 pm

The lefties can’t do anything against this guy.
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:06 pm
  
  It’s easy to second guess, but Bochy could have batted Morse for Blanco, and moved Perez to CF.
  - DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:08 pm
    
    Crossed my mind too, zum…
  - zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:10 pm
    
    The broadcasters were making a great point about using Morse before the big 3 relievers get in there.
    Plus it would have been against a lefty. And there was only a lefty in their bullpen at the time.
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:05 pm

We have been playing a step behind this game all game. Waiting on Petit. Not starting Morse. Pitching fucking POS Machi. I need something good to happen to change my mood.
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:09 pm

Voggy struggling and fighting his way through his start was BS. We have a guy who has completely caught lightning in a bottle this year (Petit) and Bochy waits until all hell breaks loose before pitching him. It just makes no sense at all. And I could care less about Hosmer’s double, Petit will shut these fuckers down.
- DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:15 pm
  
  Good call, Flav.
  Amazingly, we’re still in this thing…
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:10 pm

What that stupid-ass celebration move that Hosmer does?
Looks like he’s trying on a new bra…
Fuckin’ faggot.
paulinasia said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:18 pm

Got in fairly late last night, fired up the laptop, and read a few stories about the Series. Between the stories themselves, and the comments from readers, I was feeling really discouraged: just seemed like a lot of hatin’ going on toward our San Francisco Giants. I had the feeling that everyone except SF fans is enjoying the very real possibility of KC winning this, even delighting in the G’s not looking very sharp. Woke up this morning really feeling like the team needed to charge out of the gate to stop all that shit. Agree that Bochy seemed frozen this game 4, which is something we’re just not used to. Don’t know what happened to our mojo, but someone needs to crank it up, and soon. Would be a huge turnaround to win this game and move forward from there. Step it up, boys!
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:19 pm

Petit is keeping them in this…up to the bats to make something happen.
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:19 pm

No more 2 hits and pfffttt . . . We need to score some runs here.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:20 pm

Look how Yost had his ‘pen ready to rock and roll when the first batter got on.
- blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:28 pm
  
  Good point Zum . . . In contrast, we’ve been too little, and too late.
salty said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:24 pm

Has to happen now.
salty said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:25 pm

Pence gets the ball out of the infield I’ll be shocked.
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:26 pm
  
  The grounder found a hole! 🙂
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:26 pm

Yes! Pence does it again!!!!!!!!!!
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:26 pm

I’d rather have Pence’s productive hit.
salty said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:26 pm

Yep. Knew that work. 🙂
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:28 pm

I think it’s over reacting to get after Bochy,myself. Vogs got done in by two IF dribblers and a bloop hit in front of Blanco. Hindsight I think Bochy sends Rags out there to calm him down a pitch or two into the AB of the guy he walked after Vogs f-ed up the play at 1b. He was obviously steamed at himself and then couldn’t get Infante out as he left a pitch up. That was the big AB so far. If you want to question Bochy for not getting Petit up to face Infante, OK…but I didn’t see anyone posting about it then.
And Machi didn’t hurt them, and he didn’t waste another PH. Morse and Ishi still available for late game heroics.
Petit is in there now and the bats have to get them back in it…as Posey grounds out again with RISP.
And Pence comes through and it’s a 1 run game. Relax and enjoy guys, long way to go and Yost is straining.
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:29 pm
  
  It’s easer to relax after Pence’s hit. 🙂
- willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:31 pm
  
  And what have Yost’s pen guys since he had them all ready?
  - willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:32 pm
    
    “…done…”
  - zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:32 pm
    
    They’re no Petits. 🙂
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:31 pm

Well, I’m a punch-me face on that one. Nice hit, Pablo!!
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:34 pm

Has to be Morse!!!!!
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:36 pm
  
  Nice sac fly by Perez, though. We’ll take it.
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:36 pm

Heads up base running by Hunter.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:36 pm

Would like to have seen Morse instead of Perez, though.
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:37 pm

Robbed by great “baseball” play.
- blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:41 pm
  
  Exactly Mac. I didn’t really want Perez in that position (like Zum and maybe others). However, I was thinking during his AB, if he gets a hit, give him a Rowand type contract. LOL. With the sacrifice RBI, maybe something less . . . 🙂
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:39 pm

They’re really over-doing it on Dyson’s catch. It was a nice play – that’s all..
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:41 pm
  
  You didn’t dig them giving us his life story after the catch?
  - blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:44 pm
    
    In Asia, we got the Reader’s Digest version.
stickman said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:41 pm

Things just got interesting. Finally, a crooked number. Began with being down 4-2 and then a sudden Panik (you know what).
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:43 pm

Hey I dig Morse, and if he’s OK, he’d start if I was making out the LU.
But, if he’s in for Perez this early, then you are stuck with him in LF the whole night unless you want to see Ishi, who isn’t gonna make anyone forget Yaz out there and isn’t exactly a gazelle either.
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:45 pm
  
  True, but if Morse jacks a grandslam…. 🙂
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:46 pm

Nice! Belt is slick!
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:46 pm

If the Giants win the series, Aoki should get a ring…
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:47 pm

Yeah turn it brutha! That was pretty.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:48 pm

Petit is fired up! And so am I!
Let’s get another run!
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:48 pm

I’m surprised “God” didn’t beat Belt’s throw to second and break up the DP…
Irish Kevin said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:48 pm

I say let Petit bat!! The Giants need his shut down stuff!! GO GIANTS!!
snarkk said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:49 pm

Perez over Morse there made sense with one out. Morse is a dp potential, Perez has speed, if he makes contact the tying run likely scores and morse is saved for later…
wswins said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:49 pm

they should invent an MVP for the entire postseason…ours is Petit
- stickman said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:09 pm
  
  Agree.
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:52 pm

Would love to see Blanco slap one past the 3B…
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:55 pm

Same situation yesterday and Panik did not bunt…
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:55 pm

The Giants bats coming alive can cover a multitude of sins.
James said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:56 pm

Hey, Wilco, I hope the Aunt needs to see a psychiatrist after this inning. 😉
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:56 pm

Fuck. Wake up the idiots in NY . . . Dreading this right now.
- blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:57 pm
  
  Not you Loo . . . I meant the review guys. 🙂
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 7:58 pm

Wow, Blanco read Arias the riot act.
- James said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:00 pm
  
  Which is a bit ironic.
  - wswins said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:09 pm
    
    Exactly
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:01 pm

They are saying on the Asian feed, that an intentional walk will no longer have to be “played out,” starting next season . . . WTF? I have seen many pitchers fuck up an intentional walk and if they only have to say, “intentional walk,” and the guy goes to 1st, that is bull shit.
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:02 pm

Mr. Righty!
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:02 pm

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:03 pm

Punch my face!!!!!
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:03 pm

PHLABLOXXL!!!!!
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:04 pm

Fuck them! Fuck them! Fuck them!
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:04 pm

R-Belt-I single!
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:04 pm

HOLY SHIT!

Mea Culpa . . . I did not see this happening at all.
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:04 pm

Yeah money! Um paging Mr. Johnson…get the ink ready it’s gonna be expensive.
And Yost, I got ur bullpen right here.
Flavor said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:05 pm

nice managing by Yost. lol
- willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:12 pm
  
  Exactly man. He’s got the *best pen of all time* out there and all 3 of them are sitting on their butts while Giants score 6 consecutive runs off his SP and everyone he’s used since.
Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:05 pm

Finnegan raked.
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:05 pm

Now shut them down the rest of the game bullpen.
stickman said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:07 pm

Wow! Giants went all Joycean on us and did Finnegan’s Wake.
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:10 pm

And no, Ishi does not get to that except after a couple hops, and of course neither does Morse.
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:12 pm
  
  Alright, I’m conceding that point. 🙂
- Macdog said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:14 pm
  
  No way Morse is out there with a 3-run lead in the 7th no matter who started in LF.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:11 pm

Nice D!!!!!!!!
- zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:14 pm
  
  Except for Affeldt. 🙂
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:15 pm

The KC batter is thrown out from right field. You gotta love that shift.
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:17 pm

And now my thanks for whomever perfected the mute button.
In the future when we’re all run by robots or there aren’t any actual humans left, I wonder if you’d be able to point a remote at someone and automatically get them to STFU.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:23 pm

The other day TF wrote about the contributions from all the players; there were huge hits from Duffy and Arias tonight.
zumiee said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:26 pm

An epic fail from Fox’s broadcaster’s; they already had Finnegan as part of a “big 4.”
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:29 pm

This is the experience I was talking about coming into play. We have it. They don’t.
willedav said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:30 pm

that was a nice bunt. Snarkk’s right, blanco should do that more often.
blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:31 pm

Wow! Shaking my head at the turn of events.
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:31 pm

Gee, how come Dyson couldn’t run that down?
- blade3colorado said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:33 pm
  
  Thinking I’m glad I didn’t purchase the Napalm at the local Ho Chi Minh 7-11.
wswins said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:32 pm

Okay…Giants WS baseball
DJLoo said, on October 25, 2014 at 8:32 pm

10-4 over and out…
