A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Engage Operation EYB

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 5, 2016

I loved last night’s game. Even the strikeouts. As the game wore on it became a game to watch within the game. Good thing I wasn’t playing a drinking game. All those k’s would have sent me to the ER. And who doesn’t enjoy a walk off? There are critics of the wild card format but I’m not one of them. An instant Game 7 to kick off the post season? That is fantastic. And if the WC teams or the fans grouse about only getting one game here’s an idea: win your damn division.

My A’s fan buddy, The Boney One, texted me at 4:32am today looking for my prediction on the game tonight. I just texted back “excitement” and left it at that. It’s the bare minimum of what we all get today and into tonight.

Even if they lose, I’m pretty content just getting to this game. How did the worst team in baseball make the post season? Think about that. And it’s not even arguable, with stats or your own eyeballs, that we weren’t the worst team in all of mlb in the second half of the season.

But here we are. I’m down with a crazy 3 week run. I don’t expect it but I also didn’t expect the 2014 flag and that’s flying like a boss right now.

So whatever, no expectations. But I’m confident because of who’s taking the hill. Excitement is definitely in the air. On the east side of the Dumbarton Bridge there are salt ponds. Savy locals know when it’s time to roll up the window. I hope NY fans know what’s up but there’s only so much they can do to withstand the EYB that’s wafting towards Citi Field right now. It’s coming and it’s even and it’s bullshit and so far (engage knowing dude head nod) no one has been able to stop it……

    What I never understand is why a manager doesnt go out and immediately file a protest with the umpire. That wasnt even a close play. It was obvious that he was safe live but no doubt with the replay.

    Hopefully this turns our team into pissed off motherfuckers.

    It’s now a verboten subject within this living room.

    Dinger may decide this , hope it’s Giants. Bring it home, Loo!

  5. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:25 pm

    That was nerve wracking even though there was just a runner on first…even with Granderson up…

    Is that that Bay Area rapper sitting next to Marlin Man?
    I kind of like Marlin Man for some reason.

      My kid said he was the same guy at the Royals World Series games in 2014 at KC…

    They are hitting him, just at people, I feel good, a little nervous….alright a lot nervous, but I like the Giants chances.

    tense

    • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:31 pm

      That too!!

  9. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:32 pm

    I think they should bunt on this phuck for a hit and get him in the stretch– he is way less effective in stretch…

  10. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:35 pm

    Here in pub sucking on an Evil Twin– I’m going to probably need two to settle down-/ friggin hyped on this game. Looks like there will be no margin for error tonight…

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:41 pm

    This isn’t really a big pitch. He’s got an open base dumbass.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:42 pm

    Belt HAS to bunt down the3rd base line. He had a chance a couple innings ago

  13. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:43 pm

    Mistake intentionally walking Loney…no way he gets a hot on Bum…I’d rather have Sissygirl lead off the next inning..

  14. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:43 pm

    Fuck Giants totally blew that run down.One throw is all you need with no chance for the back runner to move up..

  15. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:45 pm

    I have a good feeling about Bum’s forthcoming at bat..

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:46 pm

    He and posey are the only ones to reach the outfield.

  17. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:46 pm

    Just win…

  18. Locojuan's avatar Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:47 pm

    Bottled them up, time to shut their fans up.

  19. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:49 pm

    Love to see Sin slip-up and lay one out there for Bum…

  20. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:50 pm

    Country hardball…gotta love it!

  21. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:51 pm

    All I can say is Bum better get that same pitch…

  22. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:52 pm

    These announcers are practically gushing over every move the Mets make. I get the feeling nobody outside of SF wants to see the Giants win a fourth WS.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:54 pm

      They are coming all over themselves with every mention of thor…pathetic.

  23. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:53 pm

    I’ll never bad-mouth Span again.

  24. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:53 pm

    Yeah baby…first hit…it IS a start…something to build on…

  25. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:54 pm

    That should be the SECOND stolen base by Grandpa Graybeard…

  26. Locojuan's avatar Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:54 pm

    Time for some two out hitting. Shut em up.

  27. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:55 pm

    Yeah Fuck you Mets!
    Span breaks it up and yes his s 2 nd steal is successful! Get the run in Brandon!!

  28. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:56 pm

    Span with a huge jump, still barely made it; guy has lost speed…

  29. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:56 pm

    Fuck!

  30. Locojuan's avatar Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:57 pm

    Fuck Granderson.

    Thought that was out…

  34. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:57 pm

    Ha ha same reaction for all

  35. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:57 pm

    Belt crushed that pitch.

  36. Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:57 pm

    ouch. the way Belt dropped the bat I thought that was gone.

  37. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:58 pm

    Cool evening in NYC…the ball won’t carry as well.

  38. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:58 pm

    Sunovabitch!

  39. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:58 pm

    Syndrshutz is not nearly the same guy in the stretch…

  40. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:59 pm

    90 pitches is all I have. He’s done after the next inning when we strike!!!

  41. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:59 pm

    A little chink in Thor’s armor in that inning. His pitch count is getting up there; I wonder how long Collins is willing to leave him in there. Getting into that bullpen may be the key.

  42. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:59 pm

    Man o man I thought Belt had that off the wall…I think Sissygirl has just one more inning in him…

  43. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 6:59 pm

    I didn’t think it was gone, but I sure as fuck thought it was over Granderson’s head…dammit!

  44. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:00 pm

    The pisser is tge Mets will get killer if they go forward

  45. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:01 pm

    Need another one of those 7 pitch innings. Mac…make it so!

  46. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:01 pm

    Bum gets squeezed big time.

  47. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:03 pm

    Told ya all about Winters, he is a dick, Bum just keep it together against this asshole!!!

    • wilcojoe's avatar wilcojoe said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:05 pm

      I was about to say, you were right about this guy.

  48. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:06 pm

    My problem is the inconsistency with the calls. Sin is getting calls that Bum is not. Fucking dick…

  49. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:07 pm

    About time Bum got a call…

  50. Locojuan's avatar Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:08 pm

    Shut em up…

    Smoke some fucking pole…

  52. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:09 pm

    Ok, time to score. Somebody crank a dinger off this dude…

  53. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:11 pm

    If Belt had turned on that a microsecond sooner, it’s out in right center. He hit it 406…

  54. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:13 pm

    I don’t recall ever seeing Pence get visibly frustrated by balls-strikes calls before, and it’s happened twice this game.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:16 pm

      Because the calls were such utter BULLSHIT…THAT is why…

  55. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:16 pm

    That walk was huge to Craw, just make him work more!!

    • Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:17 pm

      He’s on the brink of coming out. No way Collins wants to risk breaking his shiny new toy.

  56. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:16 pm

    Bummie would have 20 less pitches with the pitches syndy is getting

  66. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:23 pm

    Dam. Thought they’d get one there. Bum has to guard against the HR…

  67. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:25 pm

    Giants have to force Mets to make a play or two on D so they can screw up…

  73. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:30 pm

    Bum’s good for the 8th. Time to feast on the Met’s bullpen.

  74. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:30 pm

    Yes! 8 pitches. Time to hit the pen

  75. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:30 pm

    Fuck Thor, Our Country buzz saw is still pitching and will continue to pitch in this game, while your out and your pen will cough it up for us!!
