Another Rain Game
It’s another “Uh oh, Matt Cain pray for rain” game. We are going to have a little weather in the Bay today but not enough to halt Cain’s ascension to the mound this evening. So, unfortunately,the only thing *raining* will be Colorado hitters raining bombs down on vulnerable fans in the bleachers.
Krukow has the KNBR morning show today at 7:30am so if you want to hear some of his best blather about Peavy you should tune in. I think you can stream it. I’ll listen to it in my car on the way to work and chime in about it later.
Hey, if he gets blasted that’s now 40% of the starting rotation that can no longer be ignored. And my main man BigTimeTimmyJimJim has his showcase tomorrow. Just something to think about……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I want Cain to go 5 minutes between pitches.
I’m so pissed the Giants aren’t winning right now, I refuse to post any exculpatory data on Kelly’s behalf. 🙂
Cain is still the real issue tonight.
God you think Cain would have major whiplash watching all those balls getting raked against him..
Bunch of clowns.
Can you say fuckarow?
Cain. Has. Nothing.
They might as well install a portable shower on the mound when Cain or Peavy pitch…
Just switched over from the Sharks game…wtf was Cain still in there?
looking forward to Kruk tomorrow spinning Cain’s zero K’s into something he can build off of…..
Bad error, but I don’t blame the defense. It’s got to be tough to play defense behind a pitcher who’s struggling so much.
Well, that’s not necessarily true.
I think you’re more alert out there when your pitcher’s getting shelled…
Bochy after the game,
Well Matty’s really close to putting it all together. A couple minor hiccups,but all in all very promising outing!
It’s the Itchy and Scratchy show!
On the positive side, at least Posey didn’t get injured when he was thrown out by 10 feet.
12 run inning coming?
Advil PM time…
Humiliating.
Roberto Kelly might be the only one happy now.
Cain 7.84
Peavy 9.00
It’s a duel.
Reminds me of the Mets game.
2 more runs and you’ll be saying, “deja vu.”
It is the midnight hour here. I don’t give a fuck if they come back or not, I’m going to bed.
F This..going back to the Sharks game…
Phone park is playing like Coors Canaveral . . . Sherpas feel right at home.
As a baseball fan, I truly appreciate LeMahieu’s opposite field approach.
Rags says screw this shit give me the ball I’ll get the last 2 outs!!
It’ll be a 3-way tie for first place after tonight. And no team in the division with a winning record.
And now the night’s only drama is gone: Padres’ Rea gives up first hit vs. Mets with two outs in the 7th.
Only in the baseball universe…
The Rockies? This sucks…Sharks and Predators just starting OT knotted at 3. I will take playoff hockey over this bullshit any fucking day.
Can’t find the hockey game. Just got Driect TV and there are like 4000 channels.

Duvall may be hitting one bomb after another, but Vinny is delivering.
He’ll be delivering pizza in a few days.
Infinite inning that refuses to end.
Sharks game is intense. There is no love lost between these two teams. It is on!
The inning never ended, and we all lived forever.
Bring back Broadway!
In a perverse way, this inning is “must see” tv.
The only must watch tv tonight is the Sharks game. They are tied after one OT. Going to the 2nd OT (fifth period) soon.
Stinko de Mayo…
Gold.
I almost wish someone was running away with this division so we would be forced to rebuid our pitching staff. I would have no problem going into sell mode if it meant we could get some young arms. I fear for what the future holds with this pitching staff.
They really have nothing to trade except for Panik who they wouldn’t deal. Everyone else is either locked up long term or has no particular trade value…
Pence, Belt and Crawford would have the most value.
Cha Ching! Cha Ching! We broke the record . . . umm, whoops. Never mind.
Shit, all we need are 2 touchdowns. These guys are making Cain look good.
Can they get 30?
Thirteen runs in one inning. In little league, they would have called the Mercy Rule.
oh .. my .. dog .. shit ..
Have they called ” the no mercy rule yet?”
( ) are now a standard part of Giants linescores.
Wow, I was having dinner with snarkk family, came back from the dinner table, and Giants are down two TDs.
Bring in Kap !…
It’s 17-3, shouldn’t Posey be out of the game?
Like Lon Simmons said back in one of Joe Montana’s first starts, when down 35-3 at the half.
This is going to be one of the worst 49er games ever, or the greatest comeback in 49er history.
If they can get within 10, they might still have a shot…
Can we get the Rockies’ third-base coach? He seems to be doing a good job.
He’s getting a lot of practice…
Willie Mays is 85 on the east coast.
Happy birthday!
Say Hey!
If I’m Heston, I’m laughing my ass off. I know he’s not an ace, but he won 12 games last year. These two guys won’t win 12 games combined for the rest of their careers. I’d put the over/under at 7, and that feels high.
Heston needs to be in this rotation, stat. And yes, it does suck that Petit is gone.
Heston got his ass handed to him last night. He isn’t fairing too well in Sacto. He is NOT an option. If they bring him up for either Peavy or Cain, we are really in deep shit.
Like BF, I’m interested to see tomorrow how Kruk spins this tire fire, and Cain’s free fall into crapitude. His pitches are like balloons with hit me signs…
Anyone else notice that Kelly held up Posey on essentially the same type of hit he got nailed on earlier? Does this mean he is improving?
Hey, at this point, I’m up for them DLing both Cain and Peavy, and bringing up anybody with an arm south of 30 years old. Seriously, nobody in the minors can be worse than these two. Cain is officially now into his third season of stealing money on his deal. Cain’s contract is every bit as bad as the bad Zito days…
Anybody looking forward to the Blue Jays batting against Peavy? Boy Howdy, that’s going to be an adventure…
The good news is they’re much tougher on lefties.
Touchdown! Another one and a field goal to tie.
What a story it would be…

Kong with 3 bombs. Probably his best game ever.
This chump can’t even get through 5 with a 14-run lead, that’s too funny.
Peavy’s contract would be no big deal to eat. Whattaya do with Cain? Yoiks…..
DL Cain for a few months, like they did to Zito with a supposed bad foot. Outta sight, outta mind…
Peavy as 3rd base coach and Cainer as assistant pitching coach?
I think the Chiefs beat the Raiders 17-7 in the AFL title game before winning SB-IV…

Thanks, Mac…
Although the Super Bowl IV score is still a possibility.
Only if the Rox roll out Otis Taylor…
Warriors gave up one less in the 4th quarter vs. the Blazers the other night than the Giants in the 5th.
with shameful half-innings come fascinating stats
This game is so ridiculous the AtBat app stopped working.
Glad I have missed most of tonight’s clusterfuck. Will be interesting to see how Timmy throws tomorrow.
sign him even if he can reach 60 feet 5 inches
Still can’t find the hockey game and nhl tonight isn’t working.
CNBC.
Gillaspie looked like dizzy there.
Cain and Mazzaro outpeavyed and outbroadwayed Peavy and Broadway. Our 4 and 5 starters and select relievers now specialize in the 12- and 13-run half-inning.
From the East Coast, Happy 85th Birthday, Willie.
If you’re still chasing him Pawlie, he shouldn’t be too hard to catch…
bam!
Belt is whiner but in this instance that called 3rd strike wasn’t even close … Guess umps have had enough of this shit show .. Sad to report, atBat working again.
Carrying 13 pitchers was a wise move by Boch .. I suppose he had a premonition.
Got two phone calls after 1:30 A.M. by a drunk i hadn’t seen in years. Seeing i was downstairs i turned on the puter to see how things went only to find that Cain is no longer able and that his reliever could have used some Mazola cooking oil to get outta that frame.
It was beyond the pail Stix … beyond belief, beyond reason, beyond … the beyond! However, as stinky as the pitching was an almost even greater concern is the fool we have coaching 3rd base!! WTF?!?
As one Flapper so aptly pointed out, sending Posey was not only stooopid, but it was also dangerous! Kelly has crossed the line when he is endangering our players with his blatant incompetence.
I’ve never called in to the KNBR post game show with either Lurie or Woodson but I was sorely tempted after this debacle .. Especially when it became obvious near the end of the show that the neither callers nor the host where going to address the situation in the coaching box at 3rd.
