And it Comes to This……
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….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Should be 4-2. Arggghhh Pence!
Nice job Morse!!
Should have been 2 RBI’s!’
C’mon BC. Bring em home
Man as much as I love Hunter for his all- out hustle, he cost us a run by not that inning.
Did the idiots at fox say anything? Did he slip?
Huge DP!
sheesh…..another double play….PANIK CRAW PANIK CRAW PANIK CRAW yikes
Great little dig-out by Belt…
Shut down inning! Huge. TIme to pile on.
Fantastic job by Jeremy Affeldt!!
Been “Nails” all postseason!!
Shades of 2010 Affeldt
Affeldt is such a rock.
Time to bury these annoying fucks…
I ridicule the shut down inning, but I was praying for one there . . . .
Hah! Bummie’s up!
Don’t get me wrong — I have no problem with him being in there, I just don’t want him to ruin his story.
This is the Major Leagues, folks …
Affeldt due to lead off. He’s at 31 pitches. Big decision time.
DH, Stickman. (I was initially thinking the same thing)
DH stick…
Damn. Forget the friggen Dink Hitter rule. Blanco’s been useless flying out constantly. Maybe he makes up for that in the field.
Is another inning for Affeldt out of the question? He’s on a roll out there. He’s got the whole off season to rest.
I Do NOT understand Blanco’s at bats with a crippled catcher, then panik tries a bunt — WTF?…
agree…ridiculous
Affeldt has started in his career, I believe. He went long in 2010 playoffs, right?
I guess Bochy did not like the look of that hit batsman by affeldt…
2 innings then replace in the 5th by ….Bum
Game 6 nlcs
Come on Buster. Bombs away . . . Pleeeeeease!
Posey just terrible at the plate.
Posey looks terrible up there.
Fucking ump! That was NOT a strike.
Yoowza. Bochy with the big roll here.
I thought Posey got jobbed on that last pitch.
He looks utterly helpless…
He did. That hasn’t been a strike to a few of their guys.
Posey has to be hurt. He’s doing no one any good out there. No one on our team anyway.
He looks thin and swing is slow…
Was thinking that, Chuck. I think there’s something wrong on some part of his right upper body…
He can still call a great game
Nice comment by Reynolds there.
Bochy rolling dice here w Bum
Big time…
This is like the first inning…not Bums best.
Why bring Bum in to start against 2 RHBs??
I am shocked Bum is in there and not Lincecum…thought maybe he comes in the 8th inning…Now I am super nervous
The Royals ripped him the first two innings the first game.
Thanks for the bunt, Ned.
I am shocked to see Bum in now and not Lincecum. ..shitting my shorts
Not worried,I’ll take Bum vs Aoki anytime here, he owns him!!
Reynolds is on the ball tonight…
Thank Christ for Perez in left. No way Ishi gets to that.
Pheeww,told you all he owned him😄😁
Yes!
DA man is not human
Time for the Brandons to do some major damage…
Bummie’s just getting started here. He’s gonna take a flamethrower to this place.
“Undertaker”
Coming back strong!!!!
K . . . Settled down. Now, let’s gets some insurance runs.
Posey did call some good shit to Cain there.
I’ll take that decent inning from Bumgarner, but not a move I was fond of. I doubt I’d send him out there again. Need more runs.
If Bum’s rolling, he’ll hit for himself
Fox crew has been excellent tonight…
Uh huh. DH Snark
About 2 innings ago, I thought I saw Bochy kiss the barrel of a bat? Anybody see that ?
No, only caught him doing the Pope’s ring. 🙂
I did catch that. At first, I thought it was a splinter from Posey’s bat. But no. I wonder whose bat.
Morse’s bat I believe
Definitely fooled Morse.
Fooled the catcher, too
We need at least another run
Herrera was ripe, too bad about Pence’s AB
Fox crew has been excellent tonight…
I’m really starting to dislike Billy Butler. Drama queen.
Bum doesn’t come out till he says so, and he ain’t saying so, Boch will ride him as long as he can.
He’s Dealing, and their frustrated cause he’s that great!’
Pence and Posey (and Morse for that matter) need to quit the first pitch hacking. Even Panda is working the count. Terrible DP by Pence after Panda’s leadoff hit.
They don’t want to get behind on these fireballers, but I agree w you, see if they throw a ball or two
Any runs here would be foot on the pedal, foot on the neck, insert appropriate metaphor.
Bumgarner is just mind blowing. 25 pitches through 2 innings. If he stays cool, he looks like 4 innings tonight.
Holy crap can’t believe we just got that inning out of Bum…unbelievable…
Man, a homer would be nice right now.
If he continues to pitch well, seriously, how do you take him out? Pressure > Bochy
Perez should bunt
If he can get the G’s through the 7th with the lead, then you have Romo and Casilla. Gives Bochy some good options.
His bullpen session is 50 pitches. One more inning then Romo Casilla
Lopez for Hosmer
Oh dear. This is nuts.
t.e.n.s.e.
Madison Bumgarner, including the WC game and tonight’s 2 IP, has 267 IP for the year. Unbelievable.
Bottom of the order. A quick one would be outstanding.
yes, it would be, followed by an offensive outburst by Los Gigantes….one could hope….
Who do we have in Afghanistan? Lady Gaga?
No Kirk Gibson shit here!
Bum is just toying with these hitters, he’s so loose, he was yawning in the dugout. Nothin fazes him, he is just locked in a special zone!!
What if this goes extra innings?
Timmy Time. And I’m down with letting Bum finish thing as long he’s rolling like this.
Gee, any of you think Bum’s found his groove? LOL
That was pure artistry.
Phlegm-brandt?
clevair
lol
I run him out there for the 8th.
This is Bumgarner’s game. With 2 innings to go, if he wants it let him finish it.
Yeah, you know he’s down with it.
Can’t believe what I am seeing out of Bum…has to pitch the 8th now!
did I say I’d like a few runs here? some GEICO stuff? Prudential? State Farm?
You guys need to chill some and forget match ups!
Bum is going the rest of the way!
Boch said he’s good for 60 pitches and that will take him to the end!’
Go for it !!!
My kingdom for a dinger, or a run any which way…
At this pace, you let him finish the game and it will go down as the greatest performance in World Series history….Protests will erupt in Berkeley seeking fare wages for The Bum.
