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……

    On the Giants’ main MLB page, Chris Haft posted a game-time story about Gillaspie making “great strides” filling in at 3rd. Nice call.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:20 pm

  37. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:18 pm

    Before last night’s game, the road team was 6-2 in wild card games. If the G’s hang on, it’ll be 7-3 and 2-0 for the Giants!

    Pitching, defense, and the 3-run homerun. I loved Earl Weaver…

    Regardless of what happens over the next few weeks, the past 6 years have been as good as it gets as a baseball fan. I’d be hard-pressed to find a fan of any other franchise who’s had a better run, even fans of the Yankees. All the drama, the success, the toughness, the never-say-die fortitude.

    A week ago the Rockies won and it wasn’t looking too good. Then this.
