Time For 2002 R(even)ge?
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……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Dizzy outhitting the Cubs.
Great decision by Bochy sending Moore out for the 8th. He caught his second wind in the 7th and 8th and just dominated America’s Team.
He really did.
Wow, wtg Gillaspie.
Why take Moore out? Who cares how many pitches he has?
I say he pitches the 9th until somebody gets on. With this Pen, why tempt fate unless necessary?…
totally agree.
love Gillaspie’s focused look over there at first base
i dont get the 8:22
Bozo’s, that is
Clown’s 8:22, Pawlie? Someone (Clown I believe) told a story from Moore’s dad that said as a kid Matty Moore played the game for snacks! Gotta love that story!
I don’t ever remember getting snacks after games as a kid. Nowadays if it’s your turn to bring snacks to your kids little league or soccer game and you forget, it’s like the end of the fucking world.
“He was my short, fat kid. He played baseball mostly for the snacks,” Marty Moore (Matt Moore’s dad).
thanks
Gillaspie_ize your EYB, miss?
Gillaspie at a cool .400 after that last hit. Blanco has truly become a black hole when he’s in the lineup.
Ha! Makes me really wish that Crazy Horse was out there roaming LF…THAT’S how bad Blanco has become…black hole is right.
Lulz
Well, it ain’t much, but he did walk in front of Moore …
that’s awesome…..think they got that from here?
Pure Platinum! I love that shit…POTD…
Theo’s thought bubble “Why didn’t I get Conor Gillaspie?”
I love that he’s relegated into the middle of the row in a sea of giants fans.
seems like such an early night………let’s keep it that way
Alright, 3 more outs.
D Law! I like it.
Well, lookie here, Derek Law closing things out.
Or not.
Yeah, quick hook there.
Theo looks a little constipated.
Wow, short leash there…
Time for some Law and order.
Or not.
I’m sure this’ll be a breeze…
fuck an A, MOore coulda done that!
now I’m nervous
8 innings of Moore, and last two he dealt. Now, Bochy brings in the Pen merry go round. I don’t get it…
He needs to rest Moore for next season.
118 or so pitches, tho’ his 133 was a good thing, sez Bochy
That was quick. I dont like this.
Really wish they had given Moore the shot at getting the first out or two of this inning. He was lights out. Law looked scared as fuck.
Argh . . . Get Lopez the fuck out of there.
Here we go…
Why? Lopez? Is this the greatest hits of the past run?
He’s gonna fucking walk this gyy
What a joke!
I’d be cheering too, if I paid $20 to get in…
Fuckin’ A, Lopez, you can’t give up a goddamn walk!
All you have to do is throw fucking strikes. Fuck
Giants bring the tying run to the mound…
Jesus Bochy is gonna eat this fucking game.
Ummm…this is a little more suspense than I ordered with tonight’s game…
Just another EYB tortuous night for a Giant fan…
Give me a T…
I’ve got an O…
The bullpen sucks major donkey dick!!
Rizzo was 1 for 15. Make him hit the baseball.
This is unbelievable. 3 fucking outs. The pen can’t get 3 outs without blowing the lead? COME ON≥
Fucking Bochy. He can’t stop doing what he always does. Moore was dealing. NO need to bring in the Pen. Now, the Pen has set the table for the Cubs…
We’ve seen Lopez do that all season.
Lopez needs to be jettisoned at the end of this season (maybe after this game).
Law was just too pumped up, I would have left him in. Lopez does not have it anymore, and we saw what Romo did last night with a lead!! Shit, shit, shit
This didn’t work all through the last 3 months of the season. Let’s do it in an rlimination game.
The Pen is the absolute achilles heel of this team, and Moore was dealing…
I can’t believe Lopez comes in with that shit. The last thing you want to do. Now everyone is pitching behind in the count.
Watch, Romo is going to walk him
Give me an O…
Good fucking grief.
This one is all but over. Unbelievable. Wonder what Bochy is thinking now.
Well not a walk but just as bad!!
Fuck Bochy, I called this nightmare. If I can predict it, and this Flap can, what the Fuck was he pulling Moore for — like zum says, for next season?
Wow Bochy is going wear this hard. Casilla!
Fuck! I feel a pfffttt coming our way!
Bring in Bum!
What was Romo smiling at?
if he brings in Cantiago, I’m jumping out the 2nd floor
This ain’t on the pen. This is on Bochy 100 fucking percent. Lopez has no business coming into a game.
I can’t watch. I hate this fucking bullpen.
Lucky if we get to extra innings…
I don’t know if I can watch this.
You put Law in and let him pitch.
Exactly…
Hallelujah
Wished they just kept Law in there for Rizzo. He hits one out just 5-4…
They need strikeouts. Romo can’t do that with any predictability.
This was so freakin predictable…
Absolutely!
Fuck I can’t take another game like last night! But this pen never makes it easy!!
Omg did you see LaFluer out their Sundance? No but I did Casilla
Ridiculous.
This is going to be a fitting end to this season.
Might as well bring in casilla now.
Give me an R….
Baffling…
terrible hanging breaking ball
I would say this is unbelievable, but it sure is not…
I hope “that fucking lefty” as Flav calls him can hang or bye bye season.
Now they’re just fucking choking.
Well, if that doesn’t set off a fucking DEFCON 5 alarm to the Giants brass that our bullpen sucks, nothing fucking will! Moore should have finished this fucking game!
Fuck there gonna give it all away now !!!
Wow. The great unraveling
What you said!
Sickening.
And son and I were both flabergasted that Panik did not automatically bunt Gillaspie over bottom of the 8th…killing me…oh no not Strickland..Bochy is managing this like Maddon in the 8th last night..
utterly dreadful
