Bum Returns, Dwight Leaves
Is there something the baseball Gods are trying to tell us with the Giants crawling back to .500 for MadBum’s “opening day?” That was the percentage most of us threw out there when we discussed what the Giants would have to do while Bum and Cueto healed their broken bodies….
“broken bodies.” That term is hitting me hard right now. Dwight Clark was one of my favorite players of my lifetime, easily top 5 with #6 and beyond well down the list. He and Joe made sure I wouldn’t have to spend my youth not knowing what it felt like to win a championship. I was 12 years old the day he left earth and refused to let that ball hit the ground. Two weeks later we beat the Bengals and literally the rest of my life I’ve known this feeling.
RIP #87

This dude has a translator for the express purpose of “Don’t walk him and make sure he doesn’t get a hit.” I want that gig.
ppffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
Sheezus Posey, up 2-0 with bags loaded and he swings at a change up?…
right back to no run support for bummie
Buster left a lot of ducks on the pond tonight.
Bochy, being a duck hunter, probably told him the same thing.
lulz…
Good thing they’ve drafted a catcher.
Are you kidding me this guy was walking everybody even Gorky ferchrissakes and Posey 2-0 take one atleast this guy would of walked in a run..
Has the BART arrived yet? lqtm
He’s on the J train right now Blade..
Oh shit that’s the L train in Chicago
Running outta chances boys…time to quit fiddle-fucking around and make hay!
How fucking oafish…
Surprised AZ pitching to craw here altho maybe they really aren’t
Seems improbable SF still has one more chance.
I know. It feels like we’re in the 11th inning.
I’m yelling at the TV for that dope to take a pitch. SHIT. For those of us who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s ( I was 16 when Joe and Dwight hooked up!) that is just bad baseball. GRR We have left 8 runners in the last 3 innings. Shit again!
Lamb v. Strick = uh oh…
dang it walk the dink hitter at the Mendoza line, not good.
Great tribute to 87…

Stricknine adds fuel ⛽️ to the comeback!!
This last week we looked so dialed in. Tonight? Not so much so.
Another misplay by Longoria lets a runner on. Seriously, Panda is arguably a better fielder at 3rd than him. And, Strick aids and abets by walking a no power .206 hitter; WTF?…
Dyson was hitting .206 with an OPS of .600 and no pop. No excuse for walking him and putting RISP.
Come on boys…erase the memory of this shit game…
Posey can win a little redemption, or add to the misery…
Yeah, Chi, he got the clutch hit there…
That article from Chi on the Niners get together in Montana for Dwight was great.
Eddie D had his foibles, but he wanted to win dammit, and always has and will take care of his men.
There were players, management types, and support guys, all there. Awesome.
Best friggin’ sports owner, ever…
Absolutely. Those were glorious and memorable days for us Niner fans under Eddie D and Walsh.
OK, Longo can really get some redemption here…
That (pinch-running) is the only action Actionless should see.
Conga, baby!
$6 million deal for a pinch runner…
SMH. Charles Johnson just needs to make the call to eat that fucking contract. Actionless is a complete waste of sperm….
Friggin’ gave the game away in the 9th…
What bullshit…
Dust that shit off and get the series win tomorrow.
This upcoming roadie is going to be the biggest test of the year, IMO
Surprising that Longoria got a pitch that good to hit at the end there.
Night, girls. 6 o’clock spin class will be here quicker than you can say that game sucked balls…
Still and all, this brand of Giants ball is far better than last year’s crap-fest. Competitive, with some energy…
Wow snarkk . . . you read my frickin’ mind (i.e., my post below).
The good news is that this team more times than not, fights back. Last season, the 9th inning was a snore fest (and the 7th and 8th innings were sleep inducing as well).
Damn that sucked . Longoria needed a hit there and failed. Sigh
