Historic Low?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 17, 2015

3-8 to start the season—worst start since moving to SF. Did I hear this correctly? Did they mean “since moving to AT&T?” Because I’m having a hard time processing this start as * the worst since moving to SF.* That’s a mighty long time with some awfully shitty teams sprinkled in over the years……

Ok, where does everyone stand regarding Brandon Belt? He’s been a polarizing figure here at the Flap over the years. My position, always, has been let’s see what he does beyond is sparkling OPS and OPS+. He’s been horrible this year but not noticeably more horrible than most of the rest of the hitters on the team. And we’re only 11 games into the season.

Bottom line is that I’m having a hard time getting too pumped up one way or the other about his slow start.

Just in case you want something to distract you from the shit start to this season, let’s all take a moment to remember this fantastic moment. One of my favorite Giants photos ever:

Collmenter has done more damage than our whole team.

This is like watching a slow motion train wreck.

These guys have nothing to talk about. The fans have little to cheer about.

Uh oh. I’m hearing a faint murmur in the background. It sounds like the phrase… bad penny year. I don’t really remember, did Sabean try to make some changes on the team before finally uttering those words a couple of years ago? Just starting to wonder what the front office is thinking; are they calmly sitting there, saying “it’s early”, or…. are wheels turning? I really really really don’t want to hear about a bad penny year….

  Has there ever been a Bad Penny BBOTD?

  Oh, James, don’t tempt Craig….

Petit, now? I guess just to get him some work, huh….

When our teams suck, one advantage that the SF bay area has that other areas do not have is the opportunity to see and do other things, e.g., visit Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, Monterey/Carmel, Tahoe, etc.

Cleveland? Umm . . . ahh . . . hmm . . .

  I prefer to sit on my ass and watch my team win.

    Cool. You may have to wait awhile though.

Good to see Petit come in to give us a chance.

I was going to say the Giants suck, but just about everybody beat me to it…

Bochy needs to explain why Petit, supposedly one of our best hurlers, comes in when the game is absolutely out of hand. He should be starting, and Peavy should be on the DL for suckitude, with Voggy close behind…

  It’s quite possible that even Bochy is not yet in “mid-season form”…. Although, honestly, mid-season (June and July) is often when this team seems to tank. So, in that case, maybe they are in mid-season form… 🙂

blade, they keep playin’ like this, and maybe seats will be real cheap for the Angels series…

  No shit snarkk. They may have to pay us . . . Sort of like those people that attend the Oscars for free.

    This streak is going to stretch Marty Lurie’s ability to find a silver lining in a S-storm…
snarkk said, on April 17, 2015 at 9:58 pm

Maybe they can put in the ball dudes to pinch hit. Pretty good hitters with RISP…
snarkk said, on April 17, 2015 at 10:06 pm

Collmenter the pitcher has 3 hits. If Bochy has a “flip the spread” effort in him, tonight would be a good time for it.
Good night, Flappers…

Yes, they suck right now. However, I think what Loo said about the 2000 team is pertinent to our current situation. Similarly, besides Bozo – who else thought the Giants would thrive last season? No one that I can recall, including yours truly. Yeah, it gets old, but after last season’s Houdini turn around, I’m not counting them out until they are mathematically eliminated.

Well, at least they didn’t bat out of order, like in that game in 2013. 🙂

A sneak preview of the 2014 championship ring. They may have gone a little overboard on this one.
