Game Time Thread and…..Kruk Sighting

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on July 10, 2016

So, as you know I am in Reno. No poker today, it’s my buddy’s daughter’s 16th bday so we are doing a big bbq lunch thing. Only problem was…..propane tank doinked out on us. Dave said he’d just run down the hill to fill it. I asked if he wanted me to go just to be nice. Of course he said “no.” Now I’m bummed I didn’t go. Look who he ran into at the store. They had a good laugh about the woman who had her beers/food blown up by that ball……

Kruk told Dave they howled about it in the booth for another full inning and that they couldn’t stop watching it. Said they gave her a ball and coupons for food.

Wow!! Small world, sometimes.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 2:23 pm

Dave said he was super nice, very cool to talk to, He’s a big Kruk fan tho so maybe he’s exaggerating. 🙂 Also, said he walks with a cane but I think you all know that.
Kruk didn’t take long getting back to Reno, did he?
zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 2:26 pm

Some great posts in the last thread going into detail about how what the Giants are doing isn’t smoke and mirrors.
Plus the return of Romo this week was a boost. If he can stay healthy, he will help stabilize the 8th inning.
zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 2:28 pm

I would have gone Parker instead of Blanco, but hey, that’s just me.

CF Denard Span (L)
LF Angel Pagan (S)
1B Brandon Belt (L)
C Buster Posey (R)
SS B. Crawford (L)
3B Conor Gillaspie (L)
RF Gregor Blanco (L)
2B Ramiro Pena (S)
P M. Bumgarner (R)

  Time for Span to start contributing on offense again.
  - ewisco said, on July 10, 2016 at 2:59 pm
    
    I’d have gone for parker over span
- djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:14 pm
  
  Good to see Scutaro II at 2B…
ewisco said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:00 pm

Span needs to start whelming.
- alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:25 pm
  
  Yeah more overwhelming then underwhelming out of Span would be good Eswico..
alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:01 pm

Reno always has something going on all summer,Hot August Nights, Hot Air Ballons Races, Air Show Races, Italian Festival, and my favorite Rib cook off at the Nugget on Labor Day weekend, when all the country hicks from Tennessee,Georgia,Kansas,Texas,Mississippi,Oklahoma,pretty much all states, show off their bitchin grilling techniques,excellent sauces, a must buy !!
Yeah Kruk is on the supposed wink wink “Special Assignment” all the broadcasters get to recharge their batteries for the 2nd half. I believe Kuip’s got on coming up as well.. Good for Kruk wouldn’t be surprised if he goes to an Aces game if their at home..
I first noticed Kruk’s Cain 2 years ago after a Father’s Day game we lost dammit it as I was walking out the concourse and looked down to my left and noticed him in the players parking lot walking slow with his Cain, a few fans including me yelled out Kruk and he looked up and gave us a wave, pretty cool, after a tough loss..
zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:02 pm

Lincecum gave up 3 ERs in 5 2/3 today, so not terrible. His record is now 1-3, with an ERA of 6.85, though.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:26 pm

I think it’s awesome that Kruk is rambling around Reno wearing a Metallica Giants hat.
- snarkk said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:45 pm
  
  Maybe good thing you didn’t go and run into him, you’d rip into him for that pre-game umpire profile bullcrap… 😉
  🙂
snarkk said, on July 10, 2016 at 3:47 pm

Kruk must be making the top coin now, moved to Reno from SLO to escape the CA income tax?
Or, something to do with his health?…
- Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:30 pm
  
  Reno has a lot to offer as long as you aren’t a degenerate loser. Big outdoor music scene I know he’s into. Probably other shit. It’s also possible he’s got a kid or two at Nevada U
  - djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:44 pm
    
    i was in Reno a few times in the early ’90’s. Thought it was a sad version of LV.
    Is it more built up now?
    I remember being a little concerned that the plane wasn’t climbing fast enough to clear some mountain by the airport when we were flying back to LA…
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:38 pm
    
    i wouldn’t call it built up, It’s pretty much the same downtown anyway. But the real estate has definitely built way up and out all over Reno. That was actually one of the major problems with the industries here once the housing market went to shit. But Reno is a lot more than downtown gambling. You can do anything here. And Tahoe is like 30 mins away. There are a lot of degenerate losers here, tons of hookers downtown at night and even at 8am wandering around. But this place is legit for normal shit, I’m telling ya. Dirt should be able to verify if he even reads this…….
djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:05 pm

Kruk bought burgers, franks, ribs and chicken and he’ll grill all 4 of them any time…
- ewisco said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:40 pm
  
  But who’s in the sqquuaatt?
- wilcojoe said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:23 pm
  
  Lulz Loo!
zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:14 pm

Look at the curve on the bill of his cap. The old ballplayer knows how to do an excellent job on that.
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:27 pm

Awesome chance meeting. What are the odds? Love the fact that Kruk didn’t brush Dave off and not only chatted with him, but did the selfie. Would love to see Kruk post here. That would be the cherry on top of the sundae!
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:32 pm

I met Kruk at the BBC in Menlo Park back in like ’95. He was with his family, kinda blew me off, didn’t take it personally. He seems a lot friendlier nowadays.
- ewisco said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:41 pm
  
  The British bankers club!! Been awhile since I haunted their door!!
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:44 pm
    
    I was huge at the BBC from like ’95 to ’97ish. You?
  - ewisco said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:50 pm
    
    I hung to a place called talbotts on California. I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal talbottamy.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:43 pm

why was ESPN showing uniforms that looked like old ugly ass Padre uni’s with Cueto’s name on it?
- djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:45 pm
  
  I suspect those will be the NL All-Star uniform…
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:52 pm
    
    that’s a joke, right? Shit, if true they’d look way better in those soot stained uni’s the dbacks where.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:46 pm

It would have ruined my day had Kruk been a dick to Dave. I might even put up with the “sqqquuuaaaatttt” for a little while longer without bitching about it. That one is the worst for me.
unca_chuck said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:54 pm

I was gonna say the same thing about the hat, Flav. My son has that one.

My wife met Kruk way back when he just started broadcasting. I think Craig was coaching the team. Said he was pretty arrogant. I’d like to think he’s mellowed.
zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:56 pm

The players are wearing the Padre retro unis during the homerun-hitting contest. Which raises the question- are all of the players required to show up for that?
- zumiee said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:01 pm
  
  During the All-Star game, same as usual, players wear their own team’s unis. The AL team is actually the home team this year. Last year’s All-Star game was at an NL ballpark also.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 4:56 pm

since I know all you NY guys are watching the game tonight, I got a question for ya: How many of you have never been to AT&T? If you have been, how many times? I’m just curious what it’s like to be a legit fan but live so far away that you never get to go to the games…….
- djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:30 pm
  
  Never been to AT&T or Candlestick.
  A big black mark on my otherwise impeccable record as a Giant fan…
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:39 pm
    
    wow, even Candlestick? I’m bummed we didn’t get to go there together Loo. I really want to go to a game with you.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:07 pm

I didn’t know Kruk needed a cane to get around. I guess one or both of his knees are gone?
- willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:08 pm
  
  he’s had deteriorating medical issues for a few years now and doesn’t get around too well.
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:15 pm
    
    That sucks. Pitching for as long as he did is hard on the lower body. Lot of pounding.
  - willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:27 pm
    
    this was in a Chron story I read year or two ago; probably find it on SFGate.com Not sure who wrote it, maybe Bruce Jenkins.
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:27 pm
    
    he has some nuerological disorder that affects his legs big time.
willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:07 pm

Caught some of the Wrap after the game on radio. Kuip wasn’t there and the others were making fun of Miller who must have been doing kuip impressions that seemed to involve food.
One of them gave player of game to Craw for all his plays in the field. Consensus was he’s not only mvp of the team so far but maybe NL too for his steadiness in the field and clutch hitting.
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:14 pm
  
  Yeah, but will anyone outside of S.F. notice?
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:13 pm

Whoever came up with the 2016 uni concept for AZ should be canned. Of all the funky unis in baseball history, I think these and the other variations they wear are the worst. The dark gray is just an awful choice. I do, however, dig that logo of the snake with a baseball in its mouth. Hadn’t seen that one before.
wilcojoe said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:20 pm

That’s awesome! I have had a couple nice interactions with him from the booth at Minute Maid. This just confirms my belief that he is probably as cool as they come. None of that “I am too good to speak to the general public” bullshit.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:24 pm

Atta kid Buster.
willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:25 pm

classic Posey whack to RF. Not a 3 run HR, just a good solid knock to drive in a run.
Macdog said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:27 pm

Making ’em pay.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:28 pm

Get ’em on, get ’em over, get ’em in. Giants baseball.
- blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:41 pm
  
  Nice saying . . . Made me think of our TShirt, “We Score, We Win”
wilcojoe said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:29 pm

By the way, your buddy Dave strongly resembles the actor Steve Zahn. In fact, that’s who I thought he was at first glance.
- Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:24 pm
  
  that’s a crazy good call.
willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:29 pm

If I had Specs Green and Gillaspie and could only keep 2 as backup IFs, game face might be odd man out.
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:45 pm
  
  I’d keep Specs too. More versatile and a better hitter.
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:31 pm

National show case for Craw . . . That’s why he is an All Star (does the little things which go unnoticed by national media and fans outside the bay area).
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:35 pm

Scratching my head why this is the Sunday Night Game. I get it regarding the Giants, but the Snakes? Does anyone know if these games are scheduled at the beginning of the season (my guess – which makes sense, since everyone was singing the praises of the Snakes off season moves) or is a Sunday game selected a few days (or weeks) before the Sunday games being played for a particular date?
alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:40 pm

Jesus…Not only are those butt ugly dark gray uni’s butt ugly, did they purposely leave the stripe running up the pants short? Totally bush league look..
- djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:57 pm
  
  They look like they’ve been cleaning chimneys all day…
Macdog said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:44 pm

Nice of ESPN to remind us every 10 minutes that the Dodgers already won.
djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:45 pm

Ram-arco!
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:46 pm

If Bum hits a 3-run dinger I’m gonna shit.
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:46 pm

Our no name offense continues to shock and awe the rest of MLB. lulz.
alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:46 pm

Kid Pena continues to rake the ball..
willedav said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:48 pm

Here come the shadows. Not gonna be easy to hit in the AS game either, kind of unfair during summer.
Macdog said, on July 10, 2016 at 5:56 pm

I have no idea who just grounded out for the D-Backs.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:17 pm

Goldschmidt just is not an easy guy to get out. He fights for every pitch. Bum whiffing him twice in a row is pretty impressive.
alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:18 pm

Undertaker is dealing!
8 coffins on the wall already in 4 innings..
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:20 pm

Kat, I just noticed that stripe thing. Those unis make them look like a beer league slo pitch team.
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:23 pm

Those AS jerseys are butt ugly.
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:27 pm
  
  Hideous.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:26 pm

HJT.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:28 pm

“viagra single packs”….lqtm. Why don’t these dudes just bring one viagra pill with them and pop as needed. Why does it have it be in one of those single pack things that, if they’re anything like single pack ibuprofen, are impossible as fuck to open unless you rip it open with your teeth….
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:30 pm

Bum is right on top of the curve tonight, just snapping it off.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:31 pm

Am I just completely in the dark on the Bum snot rocket thing? Has this ever been explained? I have never had to blow my nose like that unless I had a cold. I’ve known anyone who’s ever done this for any other reason than having a really bad cold. Why does he have to do this 50 times a day every day of his life?
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:35 pm
  
  I get that sometimes and not because of cold or an illness. Moving around, being active I can get that loose snot thing going. I think some people just have it. We’re just some mucous-producing motherfuckers.
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:40 pm
    
    really? All fucking day long?
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:44 pm
    
    Not necessarily all day long, but while being active like sports or something. I can’t explain it. Personally I don’t employ the snot rocket technique, I opt for the tissue. Humidity seems to play a role.
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:48 pm
    
    thanks, good to know. I thought he needed to have surgery on his sinuses.
alleykat69 said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:33 pm

I might have a 4hr boner just trying to open a single pack!!
Macdog said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:35 pm

I think Blanco was shocked a ball was put in play.
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:37 pm
  
  He tried to hot dog it a bit at they end. He was there in time, but instead of slowing to make the clean grab he tried to snatch at it while running by. Definitely should’ve had it. But Bum picked him up.
  - blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:39 pm
    
    Disagree with the error call (my take) . . . Fairly obvious to me the sun caused him to miss a ball he catches 99 out of 100 times. He actually overran it a bit trying to locate it in the sun.
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:42 pm
    
    Home town scoring with your ace in line for the you know what.
    
    The only reason I think it was less the sun than not slowing for ball was that you couldn’t see the sun glinting off his glasses. When the ball is crossing right into the sun you’ll see the sun itself reflecting off the lens as the OF tracks the ball.
blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:37 pm

Don’t know who that broad is, but she should join Amy on the sideline . . . “Blanco took his eyes off the ball.”

Uhh, no, Blanco did not take his eyes off the ball. However, the sun was in his eyes. Sheesh.
- Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:41 pm
  
  I like her way better than Shilling. She says enough things about the details of the game of baseball that I appreciate. Plus, not a bad ass at all.
  - blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:44 pm
    
    Her versus Schilling . . . Yeah, I have no use for Schilling.
gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:38 pm

Blade, I fried my phone and lost your and Chi’s contact numbers and email if you can email me again sorry. But new phone in hand.

I think they pick out the Sunday night games before the season starts and then have time to make their travel arrangements etc. Otherwise we probably get stuck with Yankees Red Sox every other week.
- blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:41 pm
  
  No worries. I will send now and cc Chi (you can get his email off of my message).
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:47 pm
    
    Danke…week away from our trip can’t wait.
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:59 pm
    
    Blade got your email thanks and I responded with a question…
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:46 pm
  
  A lot of the newer phones periodically back up the contact list to a cloud. Maybe yours does this?
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:49 pm
    
    I never set the backup up:( I left the damn thing at our club pool and then it rained…double unhappy face.
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:56 pm
    
    Shit happens.
- blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:04 pm
  
  Got your message . . . Going to defer to Chi insofar as your questions. He has the Red Sox tickets and I am not certain about the time of the game, etc. Only know that I want to meet you sometime that Wednesday (and/or Tuesday or Thursday).
gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:46 pm

I believe Krukow’s disorder will eventually put him in a wheelchair and maybe this health reality made him friendlier…I think most athletes/former athletes are pretty offstandish in general. I chalk it up to they think everyone wants something from them and blow most people off. Why I don’t typically give a crap about autographs and why taking the kids to AA Richmond games are a blast for the kids to see these young ball players unjaded by fame or semi-fame.

Politicians are a whole lot more fun because they unlike athletes want to glad hand and get attention:)
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:51 pm
  
  I agree about minor league games, GH. They’re on of the few remaining gems in the sports entertainment world.
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:59 pm
    
    Totally agree…
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:47 pm

Dumbass Marlin Man is at the game
- gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:51 pm
  
  I blame the Warriors loss on Marlin Fuck. He sat behind the Warriors bench games 5-7. Why the Fuck did Warriors mgmt let him anywhere near their bench at home? Can never ever let that happen again…
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:57 pm
    
    he was there when we won WS’s too. And you can’t stop him, that’s his angle. He pays whatever the price is.
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:01 pm
    
    If I am Warriors mgmt and I see him behind our bench I yank him and put him somewhere out of camera range.
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm
    
    he’s a lawyer (and so are you, lol) and there would be a huge (won) lawsuit if that ever happened.
  - gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:17 pm
    
    Thank God I am only a lobbyist…no law school in this blood. I would just put a disclaimer on next year’s tickets saying “Anyone wearing any Orange Marlins gear can be removed from their seats and moved for any reason.”
- wilcojoe said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:09 pm
  
  When was the last time he actually attended a Marlins game?
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:14 pm
    
    lol, don’t know. But his thing is fucking everyone who cares by paying whatever the stubhub price is for a seat behind home plate or whatever the camera spot is. And he makes a point to be on his ph all the time continuing the “fuck you.”. He’s a trippy dude. And you can’t move him if he’s not doing anything wrong. I know it’s happened before at D-Back stadium (I think) but if you moved Marlin Man he would sue the fucking shit out of the team and win.
  - wilcojoe said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:46 pm
    
    Very true. He’s probably banking on that very thing to happen so he can pay off his ever increasing debt.
    
    I don’t give a shit how much money he makes, these tickets, not to mention travel, is costing him some serious coin. I think I remember hearing that he was doing this to increase his exposure to attract more clients. If he needs to do this to get clients, than cash flow might be a bit of a problem to begin with.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:50 pm

We gotta start getting some of these guys in. Span, Gillaspie, you have to get hits.
- bassbaldy said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:02 pm
  
  It’s been going like that way too long … Span has been at it all year. Pie is relatively new to it, has given us a couple of big hits but seems to be back in his old groove. Some others, were mostly pathetic too but they are no longer with us (DL) … One in particular, who has been there since the outset has just not been that good with risp … better I not mention a name or rip on his lack of risp production. But I will admit he has been better overall this past month, and I can only hope he keeps it up.
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:16 pm
    
    He had a big knock tonight and he’s been hot of late.
    
    We’re not going to have to worry about 2 of the 3 scrub infielders when Panik and Duffy get back. Gillaspie is shaky with the fielding sometimes, especially the throws. Between Tejada and Pena I don’t know. Pena is a pretty good hitter, while Tejada is probably the better fielder, though I wouldn’t swear to it.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 6:56 pm

Boch didn’t waste any time yanking Gillaspie.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:00 pm

Bochy would let Bum go to 140+ tonight if he had to. He’s got extra days off before his next start.
- gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:02 pm
  
  What is his pitch count now?
  - Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:05 pm
    
    86 heading into the 7th.
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:06 pm
    
    86
- djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:12 pm
  
  Bum is going on regular rest when play resumes Friday…
  - Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:17 pm
    
    i thought he was getting 5 full days off. Well, either way, Bochy doesn’t really give a shit about PC so he can go as long as he needs to if he needs to do that.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:03 pm

I’d do anything to get that bat. I love broken bats. If I was more motivated I’d start collecting them and let my daughter turn them into some rad art creation. I still have Twin’s bat (Scott McClain’s) taped up so I can swing it at work in my office when I need to do some solid thinking. I taped the shit out of that thing so there’d be no question when I swung it.
Still want to give Twin’s bat to Snarkk if we can connect again…….
But yeah, if I was gonna collect anything, be a collector of anything, it would be mlb broken bats……
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm

Back in the 70’s a buddy of mine got a broken bat from George Scott at an A’s game. In addition to being huge, to a 15 year old it was the coolest thing ever. It was cracked, but still intact and had pine tar all over it. Very cool.

  that’s awesome. Those are the bats I’d collect. I don’t have the drive to become a collector but that would be the thing I’d collect if I ever became one…..

    It’d be an unique collection too.

That yakker is gold tonight.

Getting Goldie on one pitch there is huge.

Would be nice to get an insurance run or two … the way Giants have FUCKED off a couple of Bum’s recent starts … well … just sayin’ ….

  They said before the game that the pen has blown four games in which he left the game with the lead.
Flavor said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:15 pm

I bet the under of this game hard (as I said earlier today I would do) so I just want these Giant hitters to fiddle-de-do for outs and move this game along……

Ironically just saying Dirty Sanchez threw his no- hitter 7 years ago today. He was also screwed by an error from Uribe from perfection..

  Would really be ironic if Sanchez’ dad was at the game tonight.
  Who remembers his first name? Started with a “G” I think…

Craw-surance.
Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:25 pm

“We love ya, Brandon, but just don’t think you’re all star material.” MLB to B-Craw.
bassbaldy said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:28 pm

Gameday fuck up … Saying only Belt scored on Craws 2b .. Going to end of inning reading 3-0 Giants … Fleming got me straight tho.
Carstie Clausen said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:30 pm

You want a daddy to drive them in. Call Craw. In front of that national audience there are at least two prime examples of All-Star snubbing getting tossed right back in the face of MLB. Personally, i think that multiple voting by any individual fan for the ASG sucks shit. That’s why i voted exactly once ~ for Belt in the special selection. Addison Russell? I mean really.

  Agree about one person, one vote. Travesty of allowing voters to click all day and night. Who does that shit anyway? Sheesh, get a life.

A snot rocket with audio!

MadBummer. Still, outstanding game!

    Love that Loo . I’ll have mine with mint jelly!
gianthead said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:34 pm

Damn that was close. I thought this would be the game finally for Bum…
- bassbaldy said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:38 pm
  
  Me too Bro … Me too …
djloo27 said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:36 pm

As long as Baer is standing, maybe he should stroll up to his office and give Bum a new $100 million contract for the next 5 years replacing the one in effect. It’s still a bargain…
- blade3colorado said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:53 pm
  
  Bum should fire his agent and hire you Loo. For at least the last 3 years, you’ve been vocal about this, while his agent has been whacking his baloney money and probably trying to get Bum to invest in corn, wheat, and hog futures.

So the first 3 WS the Giants were extreme underdogs, this years team is very very good is this beacause the veterans were the rookies back in 2010 and they know what they are doing or are we going to see a face plant in the playoffs or the 2016 WS? Not very likely a face plant but still gotta throw it out there. I am not too worried about this team, it is almost like they are on cruise control, just getting the job done.
- Lurker John said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:41 pm
  
  It’s hard to imagine a Bochy-led team face planting in the playoffs. But that’s way down the road.
  - bassbaldy said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:48 pm
    
    So far, it is a very strange, weird & wonderful year, that is for sure … I have no idea how this is all going to play out … who knows, we could get everyone back including Cain — who could be amazing — and we could end up playing worse than with The RiverCat squad … Baseball is an unusual game.
bassbaldy said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:37 pm

Boch better let Bum finish this gem … I tell ya, if the pen comes in and somehow blows this, I’m jumping in the car and driving to the Bay to lead a freakin general riot!
Carstie Clausen said, on July 10, 2016 at 7:43 pm

One knock in 8 full is not bad pitching. Dude is plenty hungry for his 10th win and has once again strutted his stuff before a national audience. When it comes to the Rotation, Giants got them one hulluva one-two punch.
