13 Runs in 4 Innings?
Let me be clear about this: I don’t like bullpen guys. What do they have to do? Go out there for 1 inning and throw as hard as they want? Boo hoo. If Peavy has a clean first inning tonight and then gets blown up in the 2nd we’d be calling for his retirement.
So I have very little patience for guys who can’t go an inning without giving up runs.
And we are halfway to the A’s sweeping us.
That brings up a valid consideration: Maybe we aren’t as good as our record indicates. While we’ve been busy slapping each other on the backs and dropping knowing dude head nods on all those who pass, it needs to be acknowledged that we have been beating up on some pretty average/pole smoking teams this year.
But, there is no dominant team in either league unless you want crown the Cubs ass. And we all know that success in the regular season means nothing come the post season……..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
this is actually getting pretty funny……
I did laugh out loud when Alonso just hit his homer, just his second of the entire frickin season, and my 8 year old could not figure out why I was laughing…torture son torture and JUNK!
Bochy looks like he’s aged 30 years in 48 hours…
Flav’s 4-game sweep prognostication is looking like money right about now.
I’m blaming this shit ass stadium…
Pagan is gluing it up tonight.
I will remember this game 10 years from now.
Hey, tomorrow is why MadBum gets paid the big bucks. Oh wait…
Bumgarner is Peavy’s new investment advisor…
At least LA lost. Doesn’t that 31-9 stretch seem long ago?
Turned this on just in time to see a home run a 3 base error hollowed by another error.
Did I see 40 pitches for Peavy in the 3rd?
No, you missed them…
You need to watch this one from the beginning, if possible.
Peavy needs to reel himself in a bit.
I can’t stand his hieroglyphics on the mound…such a baby
totally agree. Always disliked that about him. But considering all the fucked up shit that happened in this game, I’m willing to let this one go. Plus, come on, 16 mil…. 🙂
???
OK,, the players hunting for skink before the game, was probably not the wisest move.
Gnight, girls. Time for bed.
At least I don’t need to stay up until 2:30 am tonight….
getting swindled for 16 mil, now this…..
Peavy still has probably more money than most of the A’s.
Yeah, Peavy got paid about $500,000 to pitch in this one game tonight.
Baseball fields look so much better without those stupid fuckin’ striped designs mowed into them.
When and why the fuck did that become a necessity?
They never exploited the full potential of artificial turf.
Since it’s another blowout, will Posey get a rest from DHing?
Still waiting for the revenge of last night’s beaning,
Was there ever a better game to do it?
On a shit night I thoroughly enjoyed the Ferlinghetti article Pawlie. Haven’t read him for a long time but I’ll get his last one. A giant perk of my job is working 3 blocks from City Lights bookstore.
Yeah, very cool article.
I thought it was going to be a review of an Italian Restaurant…
I always enjoyed going into Vesuvio, the long time beatnik bar right there on the corner. At one time they had a great jukebox but last time I was there (about seven years ago) it was gone.
Don’t feel too sorry for Peavy. He will get back all of his money and then some. The investment firm that the swindler worked for is one of the top RIA’s in Dallas. They manage billions in assets. They failed to superivise their advisor and this will get settled rather quickly. It’s a drop in the bucket for them.
Do they have any outfielders?
When Peavy shouted “What just happened?!” after Tejada dropped the pop-up, that was kind of funny.
That’ll be Bochy later tonight, wondering: what just happened?
Are we still out hitting them?
Mac the dull knife. Jesus. Pena’s hurt?
5 errors? Wtbf? Looks like I missed a lot.
A lot of crappy baseball.
At least the Dodgers lost, though.
Kruk the ultimate optimist..
Well this is a big AB for Span, down 7-zip( 2 outs)could use a hit to start a rally ??
I say stick with Gillaspie and Parker as starters. Don’t platoon them. Pena at 2b.
I agriee…
Geez Amy I waited all night just for the exciting news of you saying OOO possible return to our team!
Your fucking killing me with that update!!
Weirder things have happened. Just not very often. And not against the fuckin’ A’s.
I missed most of this one. What exactly did Williamson do?
Illegal slide to cause a doubleplay.
Botched a fly ball by not calling for it, and running over Pena, and injuring him. Instead of the 3rd out, the inning turned into 3 runs….
because he also failed to catch a homerun ball right in his glove that dropped over the fence.
Hit into a doubleplay with the bases loaded.
Wow. I’m kind of bummed I missed all of that. Thanks for the update!
Also hit a foul grand slam that missed killing an infant by about 2 feet – obviously, not Mac’s fault.
Nobody seemed to notice. Why do people bring babies to ballgames?
Oh man…..when is DirectTV gonna throw me a free upgrade? I really need a DVR.
Shit the bus, apparently.
Panik on the 7 day DL.
They will prolly send mac the hack down and bring up yet another 2nd baseman.
Wasn’t some veteran infielder just released by some team?
Can’t think of who it might’ve been (not Reyes)…
Omar Infante? Come On Down!!!
That’s the one!
It’ll probably be Grant Green. Don’t know if he’s any good but the used to be a kick ass bar there.
Well Grant Green’s versatile.
He sucks in a variety of ways…
Just saw the highlights, uh lowlights.
Tejada’s gaffe was just flat unforgivable. Pagan? WTF?
I guess being in San Francisco inspired him to try a basket catch…
Oakland is clearly the best team in the Bay Area…
That’ll be consolation for the A’s when they watch the Giants in the playoffs. 🙂
In the attrition contest between the Giants and Dodgers, the Dodgers may have lost Pederson and Puig for a few games. Pederson ran into the wall hard last night, and Puig hit the wall hard tonight.
Hopefully, the wall is also on the 7 day DL concussion protocol.
Apparently Pederson hit the wall at 19 MPH according to stat-cast. Yikes.
Not much padding on the wall.
Pena is officially out with a sprained ankle. Bummer. I liked that guy.
More attrition: Dodgers’ Hernandez to the DL with a pulled muscle in his ribcage.
Just saw highlights/lowlights. Defense looked like the Keystone Kops. WTF was Pagan doing out in LF with those two miscues? And, Williamson was a one man wrecking crew. The guy plays OF like he’s two bricks shy of a load…
