Time For 2002 R(even)ge?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 11, 2016

Ashamed to admit I didn’t make it to the end of that game, not by a long shot. I did what I normally do when I don’t see the end, I opened up my lap top and went to the Flap.

590 comments. Either something really good or something really bad happened.

Or both….

I read through the highs and lows, then went to mlb.com to see it for myself. I don’t really think you can understate this Gillaspie thing. For starters, I can now spell his last name without having to look it up. That in itself is a miracle. Driving down the hill to Safeway this morning I was listening to the KNBR guys jizzing the radio waves and heard that lefties are hitting .122 off Chapman in his career. He had never given up a triple before last night. And had that been a park normally configured his no-triples record would still be in tact (cue: Diggity’s grass roots effort to get the park changed).

I’m just glad we got at least one. I watched the Red Sox game and as it wound down you could just see how desperate and disappointed all those players were. Swept out of the post season at home. Screw that.

I’d like to lather up the hate for Lackey tonight but I just don’t have it in me. That 2002 game wasn’t won by him it was lost by Dusty for starting Livan. And do you remember who are two pinch hitters were that game?

Shingo and Tom Goodwin. We never stood a chance in Game 7.

Instead of talking about tonight’s game I want to bring back and old quote from the past. It was 2012 and the Giants were down 2-0 to the Reds. Hunter Pence gathered the team around him. Retold by Tim Flannery, I’ll let The Reverend take it from here…..

“GET IN HERE, EVERYONE GET IN HERE..LOOK INTO EACH OTHER EYES..NOW! LOOK INTO EACH OTHERS EYES, I WANT ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU, IT’S THE MOST FUN, THE BEST TEAM I HAVE EVER BEEN ON SAID THE REVEREND HUNTER PENCE. ” AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WE MUST NOT GIVE IN, WE OWE IT TO EACH OTHER, PLAY FOR EACH OTHER, I NEED ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU GUYS, I NEED TO SEE WHAT THERIOT (JERRY) WILL WEAR TOMORROW, I WANT TO PLAY DEFENSE BEHIND VOGELSONG BECAUSE HE’S NEVER BEEN TO THE PLAYOFFS..PLAY FOR EACH OTHER NOT YOURSELF, WIN EACH MOMENT, WIN EACH INNING, IT’S ALL WE HAVE LEFT”

Now go out there and do what you do with your Even Year Bullshit……

I hate these announcers, oh poor Lackey slipped,
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:17 pm

Huge fucking error by Crawford. Pence looks like something is physically wrong with him.
- snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:18 pm
  
  Yep, really can’t afford giving runs away…
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:18 pm

Is it picking on Pence to say that his stumble allowed Baez to tag up?
- Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:20 pm
  
  With Pence’s noodle arm he probably would’ve scored anyway, but Pence looked like he spazzed out and fell forward on what looked like a routine fly ball.
snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:20 pm

Really need to add on, Giants. Let’s get it done…
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:22 pm

I’m watching a pirate feed. It’s so 2009-ish.
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:24 pm

Would it kill Posey or Pence to pull the ball in the air sometime?
alleykat69 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:24 pm

More like a bad pitch.by Moore.
Had Ross eating out of his hands with the nasty slider, then gives him a cookie heater up and away,
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:26 pm

STPOOT.
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:26 pm

Pence single! Hope Loo didn’t miss it.
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:27 pm

Craw…
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:28 pm

WTF, how do they not score there?
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:28 pm

#bullshitballpark
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:29 pm

Ok, maybe this park does need a little renovating…
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:30 pm

Pence has lost his mind…
sandog said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:30 pm

#BB
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:30 pm

Really really really shoulda scored there. STPOOT!
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:31 pm

Pence has got something going on right now. He should’ve walked home on that ball.
snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:31 pm

The Giants have so so much trouble scoring, baserunning, even when they actually have damn hits. I don’t understand it…
Flavor said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:31 pm

Here you go Diggity, your movement is gaining traction:
Peter Christensen ‏@draftcheat 19s19 seconds ago
AT&T Park dimensions are dumb. You hit an absolute bomb you should be rewarded with a home run.
- sandog said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:32 pm
  
  Thank you very much! I’m so sick of this shit.
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Diz….
snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Why can’t Crawford score on that, too? Was it that iffy a hit?
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Gillaspie picks him up. Dude is dialed in right now.
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

MVP!!!
gianthead said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Pence is definitely not 100% and Gillaspie for President regardless…
snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Gillaspie en fuego…
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

Dizzy stomping out some fecking piss.
alleykat69 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:33 pm

How’s the statue coming along for Gillaspie?
- pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:44 pm
  
  good one
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:35 pm

Thing is, how do you move in a brick wall?
- wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:36 pm
  
  Add more bricks.
gianthead said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:35 pm

The damn stadium that is home to three World Champions???? Even years conquers all…and we’ve got Stix and the Rally Law Monkey.
- gianthead said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:39 pm
  
  Would you change the dimensions to St. Peters or the St. Sophia? Would you make the Washington Monument smaller so planes wont hit it??? Did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor???
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:36 pm

Wood getting squeezed…
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:37 pm

Break it open here.
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:37 pm

No excuses now. Three run cushion should be enough to win this.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:37 pm

Solid AB by Panik. He looks like he’s seeing the ball real good right now.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:38 pm

Cubs do NOT want to lose this game and start doubting themselves. Well, they already must be, right?
- Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:40 pm
  
  This game is miles from being over.
  - djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:43 pm
    
    I’ll say…
  - pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:43 pm
    
    no doubt about that
- wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:43 pm
  
  They lose this, they absolutely will. All the talk of the Cubbie curse combined with the Giants track record for playoff elimination game success is going to make for great chatter between now and Thursday. Still work to do.
alleykat69 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:38 pm

Gillaspie&Panik carrying the Giants tonight…
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:39 pm

Giants dominating the lefty on lefty battle.
snarkk said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:45 pm

Moore walking people is fricking annoying.
This guy needs to get that BS under control…
- Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:47 pm
  
  Wow!
- Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:49 pm
  
  4.9 BB per 9 IP career.
- blade3colorado said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:02 pm
  
  His MO. Been doing it his entire career.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:46 pm

Moore is really laboring. Bad body language right now.
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:46 pm

Law and Pence act like 2 guys who are off their meds…
- Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:50 pm
  
  LOL, yes they do. Like Carrie Mathison in “Homeland.” Fucking brilliant but waay the fuck out there.
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:47 pm

Nice throw by Pence though he took a terrible read on the ball.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:48 pm

9-6 putout. Sheesh.
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:49 pm

Law smirks like Son of Sam…
- Flavor said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:50 pm
  
  hell of a call.
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Nifty!
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Good job getting out of that inning.
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Short fat kid, doing it for snacks.
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Nice job getting out of trouble.
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Wilco, I was thinking the same thing yesterday about Giants’ lefty hitters producing against the southpaws. Crawford, Dizzy, Panik, all hit lefties yesterday, maybe Belt too. If this team continues to excel at that, it just destroys the opposition’s matchups.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Fuck the pen, I run Moore back out for the 7th, jerk him if anyone gets on.
- Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:54 pm
  
  Looks like thats the plan.
willedav said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:54 pm

Pence’s counterpart is Rizzo tho.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 7:56 pm

Is Pence Daniel Stern or Marty Feldman? good line about his hair being in the rough — Smoltz.
- PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:05 pm
  
  If the Gints can get into the NLCS, I want to see Pence come into that with shaved face AND head. I think his hair is making him crazy and unfocused. Or at least making him look that way…
  - blade3colorado said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:09 pm
    
    I think his wife makes him that way.
  - djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:16 pm
    
    I once read that only 1 out of 20 women like men with long hair.
    And it was somewhat in style at the time…
alleykat69 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:04 pm

Keep milking Moore till the cow’s utters swell up!!
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:05 pm

Nice.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:05 pm

Great fucking inning!
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:06 pm

Take a curtain call Matt Moore. Terrific night.
- djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:07 pm
  
  Just don’t take the ball…
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:06 pm

2 hits in 7 IP, that’s some damn good pitching by Moore.
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:08 pm

The only minus for Moore is that he hasn’t drilled that jerkoff Baez.
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:12 pm

Carl’s Jr. is pitching? Free burgers for everyone?
pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:12 pm

I might have to shut the sound off and pick up K&K on my iPad.
- wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:18 pm
  
  Yeah if you pause your tv at the right moment and wait you can sync it with the tv broadcast. I just never think to do it cause I fuck it up when I change the channel during commercials.
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:12 pm

Moore’s great, excellent trade that will pay off for awhile.
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:12 pm

Goat sighting.
- pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:15 pm
  
  That’s an awesome goat mask.
djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:13 pm

Carl Jr. needs to eat there once in a while…
- pawliekokonuts said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:16 pm
  
  no kidding, with a milkshake or two
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:15 pm

These announcers never mention if anyone is throwing in the pen or if Moore is coming out. I assume he will be out for the 8th?
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:17 pm

One Moore innng?
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:17 pm

Looks like Bochy has figured out the bullpen. As in, don’t use them. 🙂
- djloo27 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:21 pm
  
  Maybe he’s becoming bullpen proof…
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:18 pm

Love that he’s letting Moore stay in there!
Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:19 pm

He gets Ross.
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:20 pm

Soler (not even warning track) power.
chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:21 pm

What a fricking gem by Moore. Damn…this boy can pitch!
- Bozo said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:22 pm
  
  and to think, he’s just doing it for snacks.
  - chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:24 pm
    
    LMAO…forgot about that one, John! That was pure gold…fuck, that was Platinum!
chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:22 pm

Look at that fucking ballpark…it’s October is SF, baby!
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:22 pm

Outstanding!
Macdog said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:22 pm

2 hits in 8 IP, that’s some really damn good pitching by Moore.
Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:22 pm

What a studly performance!
- chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:23 pm
  
  That’s what she said! 😉
  - Flavor said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:25 pm
    
    Gail not gonna get a wink of sleep tonight
  - chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:26 pm
    
    Oh, she is very safe. Dude, I am so dogg-ass tired…I am as tired as my dog after his barn hunt class tonight!
  - Lurker John said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:28 pm
    
    His what?! LOL
chipower9 said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:23 pm

10 Ks! Masterpiece of mixing and matching…Moore and Buster were dialed-in tonight!
eddacker said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:24 pm

That ‘Moore’ commercial on KNBR is working the EYB fer real!
wilcojoe said, on October 11, 2016 at 8:26 pm

Here comes the MVP chant!
