And it Comes to This……

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 29, 2014

Well, whoever wins tonight can say they genuinely earned it. Nobody plays 6 weeks of spring training, 6 months of baseball plus nearly a month of playoff ball to find out they “lucked” into the crown.

This will be the 38th Game 7 in World Series history (I counted that myself so it could be off by one or two). It’s the second Game 7 since 2002 and I have blocked out that game from my memory bank.

Truly, I’m not really sweatin’ this game. I think we will win. You know who also isn’t sweatin’ it? These guys…..

Lost in all the drama approaching tonight is this sad fact: no matter what, this is the final baseball game of the year and that bums me out a little bit. Here’s to a great season FU—-whatever happens, happens.

Four years ago, nearly to the day, twin posted this:

and even with one win still yet unsecured I feel the same way about the guys on this team. I’ll never forget this team….

need.more.greedy.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:40 pm

Atta boy Morse, nice AB, moving Pence to 3rd ,Bonus!!
Yeah 2 sac Flys ,2 big runs!!!
Flavor said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:41 pm

2-0 is huge. Allows Bochy to monitor HUddy carefully and still get him out of there if we have a lead…..
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:41 pm

This is a hell of a lot better than getting down 2-0. We score, we win!
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:42 pm

Great job by Craw and Morse!
pawliekokonuts said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:42 pm

Yup. Better feeling than down 2-0. Long way to go.
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:42 pm

I find it ridiculous that they are talking about pulling Guthrie this early. Outside of their big 3, their pen has showed us nothing.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:43 pm

Let’s turn the table and drop 10 on these bastards!!
stickman said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:43 pm

Just what i called for earlier today, the death of a thousand cuts offense vs Guthrie. Those singles, hit batsman and sac flies tend to add up. Guthrie has pretty much been throwing strikes so his pitch count is nots particularly high. But obviously he was hittable in the second. Team needs to maintain that approach. Dink him.
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:45 pm

goddamn it hudson
blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:47 pm

Disgusting.
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:47 pm

Hudson unraveling quickly.
Get Bum and Tim going now!
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:47 pm

Who replaces Hudson?
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:49 pm

2 pitches right down the middle
blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:50 pm

We need to “push in all our chips.” Bring in Bum. NOW!
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:51 pm

perez has to anticipate gordon going there
- Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:00 pm
  
  Agree Lurker,
  7th game W/S you have to play” balls out” on every play and anticipate every situation.
  Like even Belt,why try and cut the ball off on Blanco with a lame duck wounded Perez on 1st who’s not going anywhere, probably not gonna get Gordon but who knows?
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:53 pm

WTF Hudson???
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:53 pm

get his ass out of there. he hasn’t thrown a groundball yet
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:54 pm

get rid of these old fart pitchers next year.
blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:54 pm

You’re all talk Hudson. Bitch!
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:54 pm

Hudson and Peavy total of 10 outs. Pretty fucking sad.
- snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:55 pm
  
  He had nothin’…
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:55 pm

Huddy looked like Collin Montgomerie in the final round of a major.
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:55 pm

What possible reason was there for Hudson to get in front of that throw with a crippled catcher on first?
Brain dead piece of crap.
- SanDawg said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:58 pm
  
  You talking about Belt dropping the cut-off? If so, I was wondering the same thing.
  
  Nice Crawdad!
  - DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:00 pm
    
    I thought it was Hudson, but I’m loading up on the Guinness and valium at record pace…
- wswins said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:59 pm
  
  dont you mean why belt try to cut it off…it looked straight to me
gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:56 pm

Nice move Bochy but we need at least an inning FROM affeldt to get past Hosmer. Then Timmy is in. I feel badly for Hudson but they got lucky Infante did not do more damage. Hudson should have kept pounding outside and he could not locate. Let’s go Affeldt….
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:58 pm

Nice play Crawdad!
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:59 pm

Let’s hope the Giants don’t let Guthrie settle down here.
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:59 pm

Aoki does what Blanco should do- hack and chop and slap at he ball…
gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 5:59 pm

Hudson and Peavy do serve a purpose during the season as inning eaters. Let’s go and drive in a couple more runs off Guthrie…
SanDawg said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:01 pm

You guys calling for a quick hook, you got it. Early returns on that philosophy were good, but we’re gonna be white-knuckling these next few innings.
- blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:05 pm
  
  SanDawg, I think we’re on the same page, but don’t you agree with that philosophy in the playoffs, especially in a game 7 situation? There is no next week or month. They have to play for the win today.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:01 pm

great play by Crawford
pawliekokonuts said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:02 pm

wouldn’t this have been a PERFECT time to drop a bunt in front of the catcher?
- DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:03 pm
  
  Good thinking, PK…
- gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:04 pm
  
  Exactly Pawlie…first thing Blanco should have done
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:02 pm

If I’am the Giants I test Sal’s arm. course they gotta get on first.
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:05 pm

If any offense can let a pitcher settle back down, it’s ours.
- Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:09 pm
  
  If I’m the Giants I hit Perez’s other leg next time up…
pawliekokonuts said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:06 pm

Um, that was a time to exert some pressure, not let Guthrie get better. Oh well. Very important for Affeldt to pitch the same sort of shutdown inning. Obviously.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:06 pm

Yeah GH,
But unfortunately this postseason both have had their innings eaten alive..
gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:06 pm

Anyone think Hudson’s pitch to Perez was intentional with first base open???
- Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:07 pm
  
  no. he couldn’t afford any baserunners
  - gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:15 pm
    
    I don’t know…If you are going to hit Perez, that is when you do it with first base open and no one expecting it. And if that leg stiffens up, changes the game tremendously. Of course we need base runners to challenge Perez’ leg…
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:07 pm

they’re making guthrie look like cy young again. Fucking posey
Lurker John said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:11 pm

murders row
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:12 pm

Giants should be bunting fools, the catcher is a non factor defensively…
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:13 pm

What a fucking play by Panik!
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:14 pm

What can you say about that play?
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:14 pm

Motherfucker was out at first,too.
Miraculous play!
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:15 pm

He’s out!
Flavor said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:15 pm

idiotic challenge. No way they overturn this
James said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:15 pm

I bet he will be called safe.
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:15 pm

He’s out but they won’t give it to us.
- SanDawg said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:16 pm
  
  Totally agree. Buck is giving false hope to Giants fans.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:16 pm

Hosmer’s out!!!
Great play by Panik, that’s the big leagues and that was a big time play!!
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:16 pm

THey better call this an out. That was obvious that last view.
SanDawg said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

Never mind.
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

Fuck yeah!
Flavor said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

unreal. I eat my words.
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

There you go.
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

Wow, thought that was too close to appeal…
James said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

Fuck yeah!
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

That last slo mo view it was clear.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:18 pm

And that’s why you always run thru the base!! Thanks Hosmer!!
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:18 pm

Fox has upped their game when it comes to these camera angles. Incredible shots this series.
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:18 pm

This ump sucks.
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:19 pm

He called that same fucking pitch on Panik.
- gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:22 pm
  
  Same comment I made to my kid
unca_chuck said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:19 pm

We have GOT to get this lead back.
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:20 pm

Slow curve the fat fuck now 😉
SanDawg said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:22 pm

@Blade–I can’t argue against the super-quick hook. I wouldn’t have pulled Hud that quickly, but I wasn’t overly heated about it, and obviously it is looking like a good move right about now.
- blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:36 pm
  
  Regular season, 100 out of 100 times, I’m on board with leaving him in there – just not a game 7 for all the marbles. No tomorrows . . .
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:22 pm

Damm did Murph go to a thrift store to get that belt for Panik?
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:23 pm

Great defense!
Feels like a full game already…
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:27 pm

Sheezus panda is slow…
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:27 pm

Rev 2-2
snarkk said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:30 pm

Why didn’t Pence tag and move up
- blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:32 pm
  
  Agree. Another opportunity gone pfffttt.
- gianthead said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:33 pm
  
  I think he was shocked to see Panda take 3rd
blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:30 pm

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. I wish we had scored more against that MOFO. He got off easy with 2 runs.
James said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:32 pm

Morse has not been overmatched by any of the hard throwers . . . so far.
- blade3colorado said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm
  
  Nice call.
Alleykat said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:32 pm

Shit if Panda can tag up and go to 3rd, Pence ahold have easily been at 2nd ,Gordon’s running back on the ball as well, should be 2nd& 3rd right now.
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:33 pm

Morse!!
wilcojoe said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm

Beast!
DJLoo said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm

Stupid is as stupid does!
salty said, on October 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm

Damn good to have his stick in there.
