    I’m hoping tonight’s game has Chi making a Bee-line to the bedroom as soon as the final out of the game is recorded. Gail needs to where a football helmet to bed and plan on sleeping tomorrow.

    Fuck. Peavy’s missing high.

  3. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    3-2 fucking floater . . .

    Jesus. These are right down the middle.

    One word for the bottom of that inning: TORTURE!

  6. Lisle Ellis's avatar Lisle Ellis said, on August 31, 2015 at 7:46 pm

    Fun fact … Out of 29 games in August (this one is #29) opponents have either scored in the first inning or before us overall in 19 games … I confess I kind a lost interest and so subsequently lost track in accurate counting but I was up to around 15 games where our opponents scored in the first inning against us … That seems like a lot of ‘come from behind’ pressure.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on August 31, 2015 at 7:52 pm

      you wanna talk about *come from behind pressure?” Talk to Chuck’s lady after a Giants win. Ok, I’m done…lol

      • Lisle Ellis's avatar Lisle Ellis said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:03 pm

        Oh, sorry … I thought that was “cum” from behind pressure … stupid me!!!

    • gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:11 pm

      That Stat reminds me of being a Giants fan as a kid in la tree 70s/early 80s…seemed like we always gave up first inning runs…

  7. Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on August 31, 2015 at 7:54 pm

    Mike Krukow actually said this on the air:
    “His best shot was on the belly, and yeah, he beats it out.”
    that’s fucking POTYEAR and he doesn’t even know what he said……

  8. Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen said, on August 31, 2015 at 7:59 pm

    I had a shot once off someone’s belly… she was quite lovely, if I remember correctly.

  9. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:01 pm

    Kruk also said after Blanco got forced at 2nd by Peavy.
    Great opportunity for Blanco and his 12 steals to go. uhh Peavy’s at 1st, the dementia is kicking in quickly on poor Mike..

    Gotta love the Duffman!

    I love that Duff Man!

    Byrd food!

  14. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:06 pm

    Fucking heads-up play by DuffMan. Stole a run!

  15. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:06 pm

    That was a sweet bleeder for 2 RBI’s..

  16. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:07 pm

    Damned good inning…running that pitch count up on Anderson so they can get to that vaunted bum BP…

    Somehow i keep getting this distinct impression that Byrd enjoys being a Giant.

    • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:10 pm

      Yeah, I think if the G’s do make the post-season, Byrd will be a monster, ala Uribe in 2010.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:12 pm

      I remember reading something where he talked about the Giants being one of the teams for which he has wanted to play. I caught part of his interview with Marty Lurie this weekend (think Zumiee mentioned it, too), and you can tell the guy is a very intelligent baseball player. It was a great interview…it is probably on podcast on KNBR.

  18. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:10 pm

    I have to go back to the pre-game (not sure how many of you were watching), and Kruk says how the team that pitches, plays clean D, and has the timely hitting wins the game tonight (and the series). OK Einstein…isn’t that the case in about 99.99999% of games!?

    • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:12 pm

      He must’ve read the article on SB Nation, in which Mattingly said the same exact thing. I’ll take Bochy’s stellar quotes any day, like my favorite when discussing who would be in the lineup: “The guys who will be playing are the guys we’ll put out there”…. 🙂

      • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:13 pm

        Love that Bochy comment. Classic Bochy.

    • gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:13 pm

      I usually go with the team that botches grounders, pitches poorly and gets the untimely hits as the path to victory…

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:11 pm

    Can’t say enough about how both Duffy and Tomlinson are very VERY game-smart. The Dogs 2nd baseman is holding the ball like he’s holding his dick, and Duffy scores easily.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:14 pm

      That was a great play…huge. Caught the bums looking like a deer in the headlights.

  20. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:19 pm

    That was, as Gail would say, a “good miss.”

    • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:20 pm

      I would say something about that, but i think Craig has it covered… 🙂

      • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:49 pm

        She refuses to give up the term…she has always said I should share it on the blog, and I always looked at her like she was certifiably insane. Not sure I see Flap Universe adopting the “good miss.” 😉

      With help from Adam Duvall 2-run HR.

  23. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:39 pm

    What was up with all that Jason ‘Justin’ Bateman diversion?????

  24. pawliekokonuts's avatar pawliekokonuts said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:45 pm

    Remember when earlier in the year it looked as if Alex Guerrero would have 79 homers and 213 RBIs?

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:46 pm

      And A-Gon was on his way to 85/240…

    • pawliekokonuts's avatar pawliekokonuts said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:48 pm

      Sheesh, K&K just stole my thunder on Alex’s early numbers.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:51 pm

      But it was going to pale compared to Joc’s 100-plus HRs. Was funny to see his little meltdown in the dugout.

  25. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:45 pm

    Looks like an AT&T sellout. 15,000 empty seats…

  26. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:47 pm

    Joc with the tantrum . . .

    • pawliekokonuts's avatar pawliekokonuts said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:51 pm

      Joc may’ve been born in Palo Alto and gone to HS there but he likely spent time here in Syracuse cuz his dad, Stu, was a popular minor leaguer here for a good while. (BFD.)

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:47 pm

    Just get this last out, Peavy . . .

    • pawliekokonuts's avatar pawliekokonuts said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:50 pm

      Gutsy! Yes!

  28. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:49 pm

    Nicely done Peav…now get him the hell out of there…

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:50 pm

    hoo boy. What is Guerrero looking for there?

  31. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 8:54 pm

    Byrd’s white shoes are something else. Hey, as long as he keeps hitting HRs and driving in runs, I could give a shit what he has on his feet.

    • gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:02 pm

      Chi, I love the white cleats…I appreciate guys who do the opposite…

      • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:07 pm

        I didn’t say I did not like them…but it is a different look. Hey, I am digging the Byrdman big time.

    If I was Brandon Crawford I would have dirty thoughts about my sister…. Now, now, I don’t have a sister so I can get away with that comment. 😉

      Yeah more shots of her instead of Bateman and Baer…

    • gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:15 pm

    The leash has got be short for Peavy…

  34. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:11 pm

    Utley might as well suck some Peavy, he’s now 0-11 against him..

  39. wilcojoe's avatar wilcojoe said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:15 pm

    Peavy and the 6th, not a good combo.

  40. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:15 pm

    Fucking ,It’s always in the 6 th inning when this starters( not named Bum) blow chunks…

  41. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:17 pm

    I don’t understand how you have Peavy pitch to Gonzalez…makes no sense Batman….

  52. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:21 pm

    So Kruk was the HR better then the walk?
    Either way he was coming out, now were trailing ..

  53. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:21 pm

    Let me second my last comment with ethier in the punch line instead…

  54. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:21 pm

    Giants acquire OF Alejandro De Aza from the Red Sox.

    (???)

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:26 pm

      Yep…that is what I saw (a friend just texted me that)…

  58. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:24 pm

    Fuck. Has Peavy finished a 7th inning he started all year? In this regard Bochy is failing. He must have a man crush on Peavy because what other reason could he have for continually having him out there. He needs to just get through 6 and have the bullpen start the 7th. GRRR

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:27 pm

      Fuck sportsdude…he didn’t even make it through the 6th and that has been more the norm for Peavy this year.

  59. wilcojoe's avatar wilcojoe said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:26 pm

    I would assume they have to add him to the 40 post haste and release someone for him to be playoff eligible.

    • wilcojoe's avatar wilcojoe said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:28 pm

      If he isn’t post season eligible he is still an upgrade over anyone they would call up.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:32 pm

      Carbonell, Lollis, or Parker is my guess…

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:40 pm

        Carbonell? He has struggled mightily. Although he was terrific at San Jose the night I saw him play there–but he’d just been demoted from Richmond for abysmal failure to hit a lick.

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:33 pm

      Take your choice WJ,
      OOO or Hector “piñata Face Sanchez, personally I would dump both.,

  60. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:27 pm

    He hasn’t started a 7th inning. He went 5.2

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:38 pm

      dont look at his 7th inning slits, you’ll either faint or throw your glass through the front window

  61. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:29 pm

    Double FUCK. Sorry i meant 6th. I assumed he would be gone after Gonzo. Left to post came back. 4-3. WTF…So pissed right now

  62. pawliekokonuts's avatar pawliekokonuts said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:30 pm

    Adam ‘Don’t Call Me Robert’ Duvall homered for the Reds. I guess he was tearing it up before the callup.

  63. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:31 pm

    What does this deal say about Pence’s condition?

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:35 pm

      Aza can play center. He still has fairly good wheels at 31 . . . He hit .264/.323/.405 with 17 HR, 62 RBI and 20 SB – as recently as 2013 with the White Sox. Good signing IMO.

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:41 pm

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:44 pm

      When he reached for his ribs after rounding 1B it just didn’t look all that serious. Of course, the guy probably lqth when he breaks a toe.

  64. wilcojoe's avatar wilcojoe said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:42 pm

    Is it just me or are Kruk and Kuip eerily quiet tonight?

  65. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:48 pm

    1. Bochy has gagged repeatedly on not pulling guys fast enough, Peavy in particular. He’s reading Dusty’s notes. WTF is Peavy still in after giving up a first dinger, given his recent history? Tomorrow the whole Giants pitching universe can join the team…
    2. I noted weeks ago after Bochy said Pence would be out two weeks, that he actually meant Sept 20 (about 6 weeks). I think that’s going to be about right…

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on August 31, 2015 at 10:03 pm

      I hope. He had “a setback” today…I have heard no details, but the trade sure makes you wonder…

  66. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on August 31, 2015 at 9:51 pm

    Lollis DFA’d to make room for the new guy from Boston. This means Pence might be done for the season…
