Game Time Thread
Well, we’re about to find out if this Peavy start is “M*A*S*H” or “The Jefferson’s” or “Good Times” or…..
As I said, I’m predicting Peavy doesn’t get blasted tonight. I see him pitching better than he has all year— Toronto in an unfamiliar yard, just played yesterday IN Toronto. Keep the fucking ball down, he might be ok. Plus, and this is a biggie, when everyone THINKS a pitcher is going to get blasted that’s when he doesn’t get blasted……
There’s some optimism for ya….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Stephen Curry just ran by me, winked and said: “I’m good.”
He’s playing.
i never saw Chico and the Man. But that sitcom intro is a wild ride. Lots going on there…..
Fuuuuuuck. When I left it was Good Times. 1 out none on. When I came back it was Back to the Future.
Fuck I don’t know.
Awesome news., Flav. I just hope he ain;t coming back too quick. Love to see him only play like 20.
Just noticed where Sacramento called up Jose Casilla from Richmond, where he was one of the few bright lights in that team’s so far dismal season. Believing this is his first appearance in AAA since toiling in the lower pipeline for a few seasons. He is a reliever and aims to join big brother Santiago in The Show. After SF’s bad experiences with Mazola and right down Broadway in those two blowouts, Casilla the younger has likely scaled the ladder a step or two above those two.
every pitcher we have down below sucks. There’s no other excuse for them.
Zum mentioned the Chris Elliott short lived sitcom “Get a Life”. That show was so bad it was actually funny. If memory serves it came on right after Married With Children on Fox Sunday Nights. In Living Color, The Simpsons, Married with Children and Get a Life was a pretty strong 1-4 lineup in the late eighties.
Loved In Living Color, and who didn’t want to bang Christina Applegate?! Simpsons…longest running ever, what else can ya say. I think I faintly remember Get a Life, but obviously it did not make a lasting impression on me.
It’s amazing how long The Simpsons have been on.
i remember watching it in a bar in 1989 and thinking it was funny.No idea why it was on in a bar. It was the Stanford Pub
I like you optimism, Flav. Giddy up!
Hell of a first period in the Sharks-Nashville game. Sharks with two quick goals, Nashville answers. 2-1 Sharks after one. Go Sharks!
Thumbs will get a workout tonight with the trifecta in effect…Sharks, Warriors, and Giants.
Fuck, I hate live TV. The commercials just flat-out suck for the most part, and there are so damned many of them! Thank goodness there are three games to surf tonight.
Granderson goes yard on the first pitch in LA.
Time to get a gold watch for Peavy.
Good one, Zume…and sadly true…
Hey, but I sure like his music!
Baa baa Black Sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yessir,
Three bags full.
Queue John Oliver – Are you fucking kidding me?!
Some serious Houdini work there to only give up one run.
Peavy will get pounded tonight like some tough scallopini. Else I’ll drink a second pint of Belgian IPA at this brewpub I’m at…
Wouldn’t a second be in order anyway? Did you mean a third or fourth?
Shhhhh…
It’s actually an Eight Bridges IPA, some kind if Belflgian style, ” Silenus the Dude”. Whatever. Tastes pretty damn good…
let’s get an update on the rack of the waitress……
lulz…I second the motion! Rack update!
Well, let’s hope Peavy got it all out of his system, and he is ready to put up some zeros…
Back-up catcher Plawecki goes yard vs. LA.
What a lame ass shot to win for the Raptors…
Do we have to watch 5 extra minutes of this Raptor / Heat crap?
Oh fuck, I forgot, there is some basketball going on tonight, too!
The Simpsons started the year before I got married. 1989. Unreal.
Used to read Groening’s funny as shit comic strip, Life in Hell.
Yeah, that comic strip was awesome.
And as Blade noted, Futurama is terrific, too.
Yep…all good stuff. Genius…
These East teams suck. Two passes, ISO and shoot– brick. Dubs would destroy these two…
Fucking Barnes has done nothing much these whole playoffs. Curry to play but not start.
Hey, win tonight…it is all good and they close it out at home.
Not a good start . . .Down 10 in 2:45.
Can’t hit shit as of now.
1-11 from the floor. Fuck.
Jesus. I’d put Curry on ice. They are putting him in.
Sheezus, Dubs are two for the quarter
Giving up too many 2nd chance points.
Slim Pickens tonight dudes. Waitress packing only 34Bs and a scowl…
These refs are chickenshit.
Peavy you suuuuck!
Fuck Peavy. Hopefully Timmy is on speed-dial as Peavy comes up with a raging batch of hemmorhoids and hits the DL.
Another batting practice fastball…
Snarkk re: your comment end of last thread on Pagan and the roster spot.
He said when it happened it wasn’t a big deal. Remember, last year it took 3 months of suckitude before he finally went on the DL and got some sort of procedure done. club is NOT allowed to release that info without player’s agreement.
so for my money this is Pagan telling the Giants I’m not going there I’ll be OK, esp as well as he was hitting.
Of F– Peavy with location mistake to the wrong guy Encarnacion and now its 3-0.
Multitasking here. Watching Dubs, Sharks, Gyros on Gameday, drinking a pint, blogging…
Rack Patrol…
lulz…update, please…
Mets up on Dodgers, 3-0.
Well that’s about right, one time true the line up and then the opposing team is ready to pound Peavy.
Didn’t take long for Peavy to get smoked, what will it take to DL this guy?…
Trifecta could become the trifuckta.
Would you trade Sergio Romo & Javier Lopez to the Mets for Wheeler?
Think before you answer.
I’d trade em yesterday…
Why should I start now? I’d to that deal in a nano-second. Wheeler is young. Romo and Sanchez aren’t.
Yeah. Easy. Osich can replace Lopez and Romo is on the DL anyway (a gnats ass away from having TJ surgery IMO).
How say you?
Wheeler is not the answer.
Fuck yes! Yesterday…
70 pitches through 3 may not set any records but it sure is impressive.
Re my 7:31– I’m having a second pint despite Preavy smoking early pole, as expected…
Tilt one for me…I had a cider earlier.
Two veteran set-up guys could put the Mets over. Wheeler still hasn’t returned from TJ, but they don’t have a spot for him this season. Could work for everybody. I’d do it and go after FA Aroldis Chapman over the winter…
Tell the Mets we’ll throw in Peavy to replace their pitching machine.
Peavy still has a shot at the “Zito Quality Start” : 5 innings/4 runs
Slight difference between the Giants’ #4 starter, and the Mets’ #4, Matz.
Remind me again, is Peavy or Cain our #4?
They’re both #10s, I think. 🙂
I guess Peavy is cause he follows Didja.
How the fuck did we ever win the 2014 WS with that rotaton?
Isn’t it Pain & Queasy? …. in that order!
Hang on Sharks!…
Hey guys … I can’t watch the game on tv so I only have the AtBat app. What’s going on with our bats? Seems like besides Belt & Pence, this another pitcher that we cannot hit for shit against. WTF?
Thompson bro goes yard for LA.
Mets 3-2.
bigger issue is this offense……..
WTF…Did I miss something? We have an offense?!
Dubs are getting outplayed again. Plus the refs don’t call moving screens on Portland.
I’m out of Peavy wisecracks.
Meanwhile, the offense is working on a third straight goose egg for 9 innings.
Hell of a game going on with the Sharks!
Damn! Sharks going to OT again!
About to be 6-0?
Thank goodness the Warriors-Blazer game has turned into a good one (Warriors down 3) and Sharks are going to OT.
I am completely with you guys…time for the Giants medicos to spin that “mystical wheel of injuries” and get Jake’s ass on the DL while they order that gold watch!
Yeah 2 out of 3 games are exciting Chi.
Come on Dubs& Sharks!
Fucking we owe Nashville a overtime loss!!
Dubs get warm, they’ll smoke these guys.
Fucking Sharks just Choked another one in OT!!! Fuck they can’t handle adversity at all! On to gm7 and who the fuck knows now???
Ludicrous. The refs are giving this to Portland. Livingston gets hit in the head on the dunk. No foul. Then they tee him up 2x in 5 seconds.
Utter bullshit.
Peavy did get his ERA down to 8.47.
Cainer’s at 7.84.
Dubs are going to lose directly because of the refs. This is a bunch of shit.
Yeah, Sharks blow another one. At least the elimination game is in our house. Sharks coach is perfect in post-season elimination games. Let’s hope they can preserve that…
I have been bouncing around between the games and am surprised as hell that the Jays still only have three runs. I think Zumiee mentioned “Houdini-like” earlier…no shit on that.
What a brutal deal. Warriors get it to 3 and the refs just give the Blazers 10 points at the line.
Looks like we ain’t making this pitcher work very hard. Less than 70 pitches through 6 innings.
Lisle,
It’s been a while since we’ve made any pitcher work hard!
You know in sick and tired of Pagan sucking Bochy’s pole and vice versa!
If he can’t go and only a possible? PH role? Fucking DL his ass Boch and grow a pair!! Need s full bench of healthy players goddamit!!
Sharks Lose? Meh. Hopefully they’ll finish the Nashvilles here.
Doink!!
Epic barrage there.
Watch out for that bullpen mound.
. . . and baseballs from outer space.
Warriors are not out of their game. They just need to put together a run like we all know they can…
Here we go Warriors!
Green’s a man possessed right now!
And the Dubs cut it to 3!
Rip city? Wtf does that mean?Thought they are the Trailblazers?
Strychnine?
Festis!
Refs are letting them play…this has turned into one hell of a game. Let’s get it done, Warriors!
Fuck, you know it hasn’t been a great night at the yard when the opposing team’s starter is named the player of the game. When the hell is the offense going to wake up?
Now?
Jesus. Nice pitch but you have to protect.
Iggy has to be aware of that.
