One is All You Need
Jack Black told us that when discussing cock push ups. Also, a great man once told me “We score we win” and his wisdom came to pass once again last night. I think Snarkk brought up a good point last night about the weather. It’s been unseasonably cool this year and cold weather absolutely contributes to less offense. Of course, it’s not like we’re living in Yakutsk so a little more offense would be expected. But we are scoring more than the other team and that’s ALL that matters.
Smarge for the win today and then……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Duffy has turned into a damn good third baseman. Good glove, feet and a strong, accurate arm.
Yep…since day one he has reminded me of Bill Mueller. I like the kid a lot, even with his suckage at the plate of late.
That overturn on the safe call for the Kemp triple is Exhibit A to support use of replay. On the close plays, the umps are basically guessing…
Yep.
Absolutely.
Duffy finally hurt that Padre shift.
Ok, bases loaded for SF , no out. We’re in deep doo doo now… 😉
Yeah baby!
Did we sign Kemp and I missed it. The dude has been playing a couple of great games for us.
He looks like a cow moving around out there. Hard to believe he was once a good CF.
That kid is fucking strong. Wow.
Big fly by Parker.
OK, I could be wrong about Parker. Maybe. 🙂
Holy shit, stepped away for a few minutes and they fired up the damned conga line. If Parker can ever find some consistency at the plate, the kid is going to be really good.
Shit that kid Jarret Parker sure has Roy Hobbs power!
That was a bomb with leather exploding off of the ball!!!
That bunt his first time up was, to put it bluntly, idiotic. He knows that now.
Geez this kid Hessler is sure taking his lumps for the team this inning. 47 freakin pitch inning???
It’s his total; he came in last inning.
.
I’m gone for 3 minutes and missed a scoringsplosion! 5 runs in, WTF! Parker with a huge jack and a tripl for Craw. Nice…
And all with zero outs! I missed it too…had to rewind and catch Parker’s blast.
No Casillia .. Yay!
Hector fucking Sanchez…WTF…
lol
Ballgame! 12 of 13…and we saw that marvelous conga line, again!
G’night Flap Universe. Make it an awesome day tomorrow.
Good night, Chi!
Jon Miller cracked me up on that Duffy double in the 8th: “The ball’s hit to center . . . and there is no centerfielder!”
Madson just hacked one up for the A’s, giving up a 2-run game-winning bomb to Leonys Martin with two outs in the 9th.
Called it at 10:33 this morning. Well, not Parker’s blast, but the probability of him getting the call and also batting 7th. Of course that was not rocket science, just probability factoring. Also suggested he might Wally Pipp Pagan. That remains to be seen. Good start anyway against Hessler. We will know more after he’s faced some of the pitching the team has encountered lately. But he may well feast on cripples, newbies and has-beens. Betcha the Dagos would like him on their team tomorrow afternoon.
Nice to see Duffy and Posey get into the action. When the middle of the order produces, the conga-line induces…R U N S in a bunch.
Our top 3 starters have accumulated 20 wins amongst the trio. Several MLB teams are yet to reach the 20 win bracket. If the trend continues SF could end up with three 20 game winners, all making the All-Star roster.
Peavy pitches tomorrow.
Well, I’ll be scared for YOU and ME…
😉
The Dubs certainly can reel off 3 straight, but they are doing what they can’t do, and that’s turn the ball over. They are also missing a ton of shots that they usually don’t miss. Steph and Green had 12 turnovers between ’em. Green was 107, Steph 6-20. And 21 total turnovers. I winder if fatigue is a factor, but Curry got a LOT of 4th quarters off, and the Warriors had a lot of victories where they rested everyone.
So I’m not buying the fatigue factor. The big problem the last 2 games is Green has played awful. Same with Steph. Green was a -42 on the floor the other day, and a -30 tonight. Maybe Portland wore them out. For being a 5 game series, it took a lot out of them. And Green looks fucked up. Steph is off as well. And what is absolutely killing them is giving OKC so many 2nd chance points. 56-40 on the boards.
OKC has turned it around because their rookie coach finally got them to pay attention on defense. It took some time to get through to them. Also, Westbrook has finally learned that other guys on the team should take shots occasionally.
Let them get back to Oracle, and right the ship. Then, see what happens. I wonder if that knee is bothering Steph…
Parker coming up certainly paid dividends tonight with his dinger. But, anybody see anything in the media about why they brought him up instead of Wiliiamson? I would think they would favor the RH power hitter for ATT usage, not the LHB. At least they DLed Pagan, like they should have done the first time his hammy went whacky…
